Admired myLottians

United States
June 3, 2007 11:42am CST
There's been a lot of bashing and meanness lately. Thought it might do us some good to look at the other side of things. I would like this to be a chance to be nice to people here. So tell us a myLottian you admire and why. I have several and it is hard to narrow it down. So I picked two: ljcapps for his courage to attempt buying a house when he thought it couldn't happen. inked4life for being genuine. So who do you admire here?

I don't know wolfie. Will have to keep my out for him. Nicole I am pretty sure is on my friends list (going from memory). Thanks for contributing. I think it is important in life to give people some praise once in a while; especially with all the bashing that happens here sometimes.

you're right maildumptster. there had been so many unhealthy arguments i've noticed here in myLot the last few weeks. and it's time for us to atleast look at the brighter side of why we are here. and wolfie has always been a gentle fellow here... always sharing his expriences to us... good and bad.

This a great discussion you have started. It reminds me of something they do at another business and social network I belong to called AdlandPro. They have something called a POTW award. It's a Person Of The Week Award voted on by members of the the community. I'll be stopping by often to check out the replies. Lloyd

I, too, have a lot of people that I think deserve praise. If I get started, I'd want to list them all! However, pyewacket doesn't have an easy life to begin with and has just come through a real bad month. Not only that, but she always give good responses, is consciencious to keep up with her friends, is helpful when someone has a question or problem and has a great sense of humor. I could name a bunch of others who are facing chronic and painful illnesses, but don't let their circumstances get them down. They, too, are cheerful most of the time, helpful and caring about others all the time. You know who you are. Thanks for hanging in there and continuing to post on myLot. You add so much to my life and I know others feel the same. Thank you, MD for giving us this discussion!

First you are welcome. As I said I feel that people need to be given some praise once in a while. I have seen pyewacket. I will have to check your friends list for her. I know exactly what you mean about wanting to list many people. I hope that I am in that group of people with chronic illness that you referred to. *grin*

Swtrose - because she speaks her mind and she also lets others speak as well. We disagree and we agree, but yet we still agree to support and respect one another. I love her discussions and she makes me laugh. 4cuteboys - her name just stands right next to Swtrose, probably because she is also well spoken and I just love her and that little red bunny that she sports so well! LOL! If I'm forgetting anyone, sorry, but these are the two that stand out. :)

WOW!! Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words. I've got a few here that I really like and whose discussions I always look out for. They are (in no particular order)...yourself (little mutual appreciation there..LLAMA), crazynurse, ravenladyj, RESSIE0186, jimbo45 and alfieklondyke (the last 2 are fellow scots who share a very similar sense of humor). I'm sure there are others that I've forgotten, those were just the ones that sprung to mind right off the bat.

Lately there has been a bunch of meanness and I think some kindness is in order!

Maildumpster, thank you very much for a discussion that we should have thought of ages ago. 1) Annie--We are a lot alike, but if there are differences, as "sisters" the differences are there in great respect. That is an accomplishment on Mylot. I can tell her anything. I respect her so much. She has such grace. I have seen her have to defend herself, and she did with such ease. She is fun to be with, and her sense of humor wakes me up in the morning. I love and adore her. Heaven is missing an angel. If only she lived in the USA, next door to me, I would drive her crazy. I promise. She is absolutely the best! Ahh, Annie give up the out side beauty parlors of SA and give the USA a chance! 2)Karan--When Karan first responded to one of my discussions, I was a little taken aback when I saw the icon of a scull on fire...but I liked him right away even when we did not agree on things. There was just something about him. As they say, a certain je ne sais quoi...He is soothing. I always look forward to the things he has to say. He is intelligent and witty at the same time. He is the kind of man any woman would be happy with--and he loves his family. I love him. My husband would love him!!!! That is big! To the ladies, who are oggling at the mindset of Karan. Don't wait! He is a keeper. All that and the man loves cereal, too! For breakfast, lunch, dinner, you name it. No cooking, ladies! Just lots of cereal.

Add_IM--She is one of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet. Patience, kind, forgiving of those who wrong her. You will never meet another person who even comes close to being as sweet as she is. She has taught me so much. I love her for it! Karen052--Karen is a soft person with a down-to-earth personality. I always look forward to her response because I either learn something new or something about her. She is the kind of person I could kick back and have some laughs with on Friday night. She's real and I value having her in my life. Subrecary--Subrecary is humble yet real. I love her discussions. Her discussions make me feel like I am normal. She has a kind spirit. That is not easy to find today. I just wish she was next door. Love and Hugs to you Subrecary! Archezbaby--I love watching her relationship develop with her baby. She is warm and caring. I think patience is a big part of her life. She is one of those people I want to thank for teaching me just by being there. Asherah--She has on her page, I am not your ordinary girl. She is so right. She has a pureness about her that is untouchable. I only wish I got to see her online more often.

I admire Alfieklondyke for the way he makes so many people laugh, and for the way he perseveres when the prudes get his best stuff deleted. I admire swtrose for all she's taught me about the finer points of myLotting, and for her dedication to helping people use this site better. I admire TeresaK for her considerable writing skills and the gentle way she has of putting forth correct info if I've written something wrong. I admire JC1969 for offering a perspective not readily available to a lot of Americans,and for taking guff with grace when that perspective is rejected. There's more, and I don't want any of my friends to feel slighted by not being mentioned. I'll give it some thought and get back to you.

well, i have lots of people i really admire here. mostly because they did not judge me at all but accepted me as a real friend even if they haven't met me in person yet. there's maribea who is always so good in her discussions since she wants to be a writer one day. there's maribel who is always there to support me with my discussion and correct me when i have mistakes whenever she has the time to do so. there's ryanrudolph who trusted me with the program i referred to him. there's archerzbaby who had asked me to be a godmother to her baby KC. there's augusta who has always been very honest to me and even asks me a lot of things. there's raijin who had opened up himself to me and had been a great friend to me even outside myLot. there's rosie who is always a cat lover and a very sweet person. there's grandpa Bob who has always been sincere with whatever he posts. and my list will go on and on.. i might not end for there are so many wonderful people here in myLot.

I cannot believe this discussion has been around so long, but I have not seen it. Thanks to Anniedup for pointing me this way. I admire her, and Jennybianca for what I learn about their countries, and for their constant responses. Villageanne, for being a helping caring woman. I know that these will not be in order, but just as they come to me. Joyful one was my first friend here, and she chooses joy. VMKS31 is doggedly loyal to his friends, I can always count on him.He researches things in order to make discussion, and keeps on here in spite of having trouble twice with his account. For a "sick" man he sure has me fooled. I do not have elkhawk on my friend list, but I love his well reasoned responses. SKSOUTH who has been through some himself, and still will help anytime you call on him. He is multi talented and intelligent.Elusive Butterfly in many ways could be my sister.YanJiaren for having great determination and vision, not just for herself but for others, and she still can make me laugh.My daughter, son, and husband regularly post, and of course I love them. I have young friends, add-im, fluffy frog, who make me smile and remember being in their shoes,I can see them growing as they share their lives with us. I really would like to just open up my friends list and spread many of them out before you. Gabs, whiteheather, mari1960( is that the right number?) lordwarwizard and jazzafrazz can make me think about day to day stuff in a different way. Any that I left out, do not be offended. I am thinking of you daily, especially when you post. Thanks for having me on your friends list, and letting me post to you discussions. MailDumpster, this is excellent.

My big four are: 1) Anniedup: For her caring, her integrity, her intelligence, for her modesty, for her overall beauty, for being there all the time, Annie is such an added value to myLot world, I admire Annie for being Annie. She is a person who sprinkles beauty all around. I guess each and every person she dealt with have so much respect and love for her. She simply deserves it. 2) Silver_Shaddow: Despite what may appear to others a harsh crust but i do very much like his high sense and level of ethics, the sensitivity he tries to hard 2 hide. Despite i may disagree with him in some of the stuff he says but i do have so much respect and love for him. 3) MorningDew: For the lovely, sweet and tender atmosphere she brings into wherever she shows up. 4) Tetchie: A very nice friend that i would wanna see and hear from more. That's it, i have more on my list i just picked the above four, thanx maildumpster for the valuable discussion.
