What have you learned on the DIS?

[happygirl]

What a great idea for a thread

People think you are a demon if you keep your dogs outside
The spelling police are alive and well on the dis boards.\
There are very few things that people agree on here

That everyone on the dis boards are Dr/nurses. Everyone is always asking for medical questions

I too learned that Long Island brides plan extravagant weddings they can't possible afford and then expect their guests to cover the tab.

I am glad I will never be invited to a wedding in Long Island!! I never knew this before the Dis.


Teachers are incompetent and out to get our children.

People actually have sex in hotel rooms that they are sharing with their children. (Or mothers, wasn't there a mom thread too?).
What? On vacation??

I learned what a "troll" is.
That means I should keep watching.
That some people have way too much time on their hands.

I have learned that only thin people on scooters have disabilities. If you're overweight and using a scooter, it is always because you are a fat, lazy glutton who is taking the scooters away from all the thin people who are really disabled and need them.

I've learned, with great amazement, that people have Indigo and Crystal Children and that these children are some kind of highly evolved creatures who have a sense of royalty and thus behave as brats, but they aren't really. In reality they are leading our species to a higher level. Or something like that. Oh yeah, and you should never tell an Indigo Child "no" because it can affect his or her creative development. Kinda sounds like the "Village of the Damned" to me, but to think so means I'm narrow-minded.

Well, I just learned something new about myself by reading another thread. I do not do my nails and makeup every day so I am stocky, not big and beautiful

 

[postage stamp]

There are only 2 kind of people in scooters.

Sainted disabled people who never make a mistake, hit anyone, behave rudely or abuse having a scooter and crazy lunatics who purposely mow down babies and cut in line even though there is nothing wrong with them so why do they have a scooter in the first place?

I have learned that people get pretty belligerant when sitting on their computers in the basement of their parents home, spinning big yarns, when they don't have to look someone in the eye.


I have also learned that I am a terrible wife and mother because I went to college, married, and had my children in that order. Since I have only been married once, we only have our two biological children who have no Autism, ADDADHDPTSDVDMPD or even PID, that makes my family less special than others. I also work outside the home and like what I do, love the money, and feel my kids learn more in public school than if I tried to homeschool.

I am DISWIERD because I get headaches but not migraines and have no cool chronic illnesses even though I am over 40 and have thunder thighs and have never ridden a scooter although my BFF is a paraplegic.

Yet, I am oddly pulled towards it like Carrie Ann and the light.....

Interesting post! I have learned many things here as have already been posted.

However, on a more practical note, I do tend to find out about fads before they make it to my neck of the woods. I knew about Silly Bandz before they showed up here since I had heard about it months before on the DIS.

Oh...that's another thing to learn -- there are 2 ways of pronouncing "DIS" I remember an entire thread about that way back when. One with a Z ending sound & one with an S ending sound -- I tend to do the Z.

Well, I just learned something new then because I did not know this! BTW - I pronounce it with an "S" sound.

Don't you go using my decorative towels!!! (In all seriousness, I've gotten much less uptight about this since posting that!)

I learned years ago that my fiancé (of almost two years at the time, and of who I had been dating for six years), should have IMMEDIATELY left me and called off our engagementbecause I was thinking of asking him to find a suitable new home for his (two-year-old) dog before we moved in together, because I had bad allergies, or that I should suffer with hives and asthma because "the dog was there before the ring".

(For those who cursed me and thought he should have chosen the dog over me, you'd be happy to know that I now live, with my HUSBAND, itch-free and can breathe, and the dog is in a happy home with two loving children.)

Was that YOU? I don't think I knew who you were as a poster then as I would have never guessed Anyway, I now think of that thread every time I am in someone else's bathroom and if the towels are pretty at all I am afraid to touch them I really wish I had never read the thread and could go on drying my hands in happy obliviousness.

I remember that whole debate and I for one am thrilled for you! I LOVE animals and respect them highly, but humans come first. It's crazy to walk away from true love, which is so very hard to find, because of an animal allergy. As long as the animal is going to a good home, it is the right solution! I have seen these debates and I know that many people feel that you should die of asthma before relocating a family pet. As an asthmatic, I am with you 100%! I remember you took a beating on that thread and I was shaking my head in disbelief the whole time. I'm so very happy it worked out for you guys! I love happy endings.

I have learned that people will get their panties in a wad over pretty much anything.

This...

I learned all about Disney dining....I had no idea how many great restaurants existed in WDW.
I learned about Club Cool and the free soda samples.
I learned that not all people like fastpasses.

I am from a Northeastern "pay for your plate" wedding state and I didn't know that it was the norm in other places to have punch, no alcohol, in the church hall weddings. I am not making fun, I really didn't know this was the norm and it is actually quite refreshing to hear about.

I also had no idea (and I am not being snarky, I am being honest) how many children have disorders, learning disabilities, etc. I read new abbreviations on here all the time that I have to look up.

 

[The.Epcot.Man]

If I say what I learned, the thread will get locked because people seem to like to argue too much!

 

[OzFan]

I have learned that questions regarding refillable mugs and pool hopping are some of the most entertaining threads on the boards.(At least while they are still open!)

AND MOST of ALL..There is NO PIXIE DUST on the transportation board.

Oh dear gosh are you kidding? Man, this thread has taught me something new already lol. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. We wait for privacy haha.

Just because I may disagree with "some"' people "some" of the time, doesn't mean I disagree with them all of the time..
We can all "play nice" if we really want to..
