They Speak Their Mind-How Refreshing!

The caring and prayerfulness is great around here. I also like a good sense of humor.

Hi Hatley: I am so moved by your wonderful tribute to some of the members of Mylot and agree regarding the support and friendliness that is shown here on a daily basis.As straight forward as some members can be, is as friendly and helpful they are as well and without sounding condescending,honestly,i find you to be one of those members and want you to know how much i admire and respect you, You and others are what makes it worthwhile being a member here

Hi GG:I so agree with the inportance of having a sense of humor especially here at timesbut,the caring and support outweighs much of the negative and that's what makes being here worthwhile.

"i learned fairly quickly that there are so many caring members here" Oh my friend, you can count yourself among those you mentioned here. You are a prime example of what makes being a part of Mylot worthwhile and i don't think i need to tell you how much i admire and respect you for your kindness, patience and support of so many people here including "myself". There were quite a few times i thought of leaving here for various reasons, but because of people like you and others i know why i stay.

'[/i] So true, junjunme. I could not have put it better myself. HWG is indeed in the club of 'myLotters I admire and respect'

So true jujunme because early on I was so ready to go and so many daily just with your discussions convinced me that I would miss the site and all of you all terribly. I was away on an unexpected emergency visit for 5 days and was so missing everyone and so glad I was able to get back on today. I am going through well over 600 eamil alerts and can't begin to tell you how happy I am to read quite a few. In my email address I was just a couple minutes ago surprised with the birth of one of our members first born grandschild. Now how wonderful and priceless is that, that a member I perhaps will never meet was kind enough to send me this wonderful happening in their lives. Thanks for the great discussion as I have read through the responses and find them all including your comments to be very positive.

Absolutley, it sometimes takes enormous patience and understanding to deal with the problems and questions many members have here, and i see members helping and supporting them on a daily basis, very admirable. We are a cultural society and like you, i think it's very important to learn as much as we can about different people and their customs.

Even though most of us do have personal friendships it is great being able to discuss things with our friends here. it amazes me that people who don't know us in real life are willing to take the time and effort to be so supportive and helpful,even offering us things our real life friends may not take the time to do.i certainly appreciate and applaud them for this.

Due to the time zone factor it becomes difficult to be in touch with so many who I would like to but suffice it to say with the policy that I have adopted here which is to move away from those that do not make my day I am doing fine here! Hope to interact with you as and when!

I feel i've also learned a lot from quite a few members here.How they are able to speak their mind without feeling the need to be rude or abusive, how helpful and supportive they are to newer members even though their help is sometimes unappreciated, they still are willing to lend a helping hand. i spend quite a iot of time looking over the discussions here and yes, i've read some of your responses and do find them to be helpful and supportiveand every once in awhile i feel those who use Mylot for what it was intended for, should be noticed and appreciated, since unfortunately there are a few who are just looking to spoil it for everyone else and are getting far too much attention.

You've adopted a great policy by ignoring and keeping away from anyone here who behaves negatively.Why should we give them any attention? since their only motive is to anger and start arguments. BTW thank you for your interact in wanting to interact with me,i would certainly like that as well and have put in a friend request for you

All you have listed here is very true regarding many Mylot members.It's amazing how much we can learn, just by being a member here. I think the reason we find Mylot so addicting is,that every once in awhile, we get the chance to escape from the "real" world with all it's negativity, problems and sadness, and, even though there are things like this here, we can "choose" who we want to interact with, laugh with and find support through and there are many embers here who through their intelligence, helpfulness and support,make being a member here vary worthwhile.

zralte is so right here, the list can be almost 7 - 8 pages long. The more we use the site the more wonders we discover. I have had so many instances here where out of no where a member will come in to a box and defend where injustice has occurred. Oh and an update to the above I got a reply to the email above and I am officially the baby's American Auntie. Am told the family is visiting my City in December from India, now how beautiful is that, they want to meet me. Truly a wonderful myLot experience for me, amongst the many other. lol

Congrats Friend,You will surely make a wonderful "American Auntie.You must be so proud.it just goes to show how far reaching Mylot can take us, even up to meeting someone personally.I'm truly happy for you and you so deserve it.

Some people don't realize how you can speak your mind without being rude and nasty and still get you point of view across.it's difficult at times, but can be done.i never take offense with anyone who may disagree with me as long as they're respectful and and are offering their own opinion in a respectful way. Yes, i also agree on how much we can learn from others as well and if we're not sure about a particular subject we can always find someone here who does and are more than willing to help us.

I know what you mean and it's amazing how much one can learn from members of a discussion website. it isn't that i find it difficult to understand certain people it's just that i have no tolerance for rudeness or people out to hurt others feelings for no other reason than to be spiteful or think they're being funny by making light of someones point of view.i'll never understand why they feel the need to do so. But, what i've learned is how to agree to disagree in a way where i can speak my mind without feeling the need to be harsh or argumentative and still get my point across.and for sure, i find having a sense of humor and learning how to take a potential argument by turning it into something humorous and light, is a great attribute and believe me, participating in some of the discussions here,having a sense of humor is mandatory.

Welcome to Mylot i'm so glad you're enjoying your stay here.
