LOL, Kim, you and the others here are too funny.
No 'cheat sheets' no spread sheets. We are a big family here, nice to know who is who. I must say, at times, when I know that I know the name of a poster (real name) or kids, spouse etc, and just can't recall it at the moment, but do recall maybe an email I might have or seen it in a post, I do go and search so I can use the person name (I was always taught that our own name is one of our own most cherished 'possessions'). When I used to post pictures from WDW and meets, I spent quite a bit of time making sure I had as many names as I could, and correct, LOL. With those eliminated for the most part though, no need to be as judicious in the future.
There are several posters on the DIS, where I know their names, use them in pm's and emails, but know they prefer thir DIS name on the boards and refrain from using them on the boards.
As for trips, that's easy, I just am aware of countdowns and people's signatures, and read. I also am a profile reader, and if a person has a web link, will try and look at that too, getting to know the person a bit. Like I said, family.
With trials and tribulations, we all have them. A kind word now and then, a smile, can be so helpful.
Personal organization, Cindy? Nope, VERY DISorganized!!!
