This is what I propose to do when I come to TT and this is said without malice:

I will read posts that are:
1. Positive
2. Fun
3. Informative - teddy related

If the topic is interesting or funny - I will post my two cents worth.
Otherwise - I will obstain.

I will look at teddy posts in:
1. Showcase
2. Teddy & Friends
3. Challenge Gallery

If I particularly like what I see - I will post a favourable comment
Otherwise - I will say nothing, this doesn't necessarily mean I don't like the ones I don't make a comment on either.

I will continue to post my bears and have the courtesy to reply to everyone who comments...even if it's only to say "thank you".

I like to try new ideas, but don't like to copy. I like to learn new skills, but what works well for someone else, doesn't always work for me. (I did the leather eyelid biz the other day and what a disaster! But at least I can say I had a go.)

I learned a long time ago

YOU CAN PLEASE SOME OF THE PEOPLE PART OF THE TIME, BUT YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE ALL OF THE TIME.

So I guess that's why I do my own thing and make bears first and formost to please myself and satisfy my creative needs.

BIG HUGS TO EVERYONE,
Sandi

P.S. Forgot to mention...I like to see and know a little about who I'm talking to.

Very well said. :clap:  :clap:

This is also a favorite quote.  I know I have posted this before but it iw worth repeating:

" I don't know the key to success but I do know the key to failure:  trying to please everyone."  Bill Cosby.

Well said.  There has been way too much nagativity here the last couple of days. :hug:   Life is too short!

Very well said Sandi!! 
:clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Excellent rules too.

My own personal online rules are adapted from rules I learned about enjoying the great outdoors:

1. Do no harm.
2. Take what you can use and be grateful.
3. What you don't need or can't use, leave alone.
4. Lend a helping hand when you're able and it's appropriate.
5. Respect your fellow adventurers.
6. Try to keep things in perspective.
7. Leave the recreation area a nice place for others to visit.

I love this place, have learned a tremendous amount here, made some great friends, and respect everyone's individuality whether I agree or not. Life is too short.

Didn't realise we'd got this far with "GOUND" rules! :crackup:
It's now been edited. Thanks to everyone for your comments.

More hugs to all,
Sandi

Sandi and Bonnie, I like your rules very much.   

Gaby, I am also going to put up my photo. (An awful cell phone pic!)

My resolution is to POST occasionally.  I pop in every night, but I don't post much.  I am just a quiet person, in person too.  :redface:  I am not really lurking - just reading and learning, and cheering, and weeping, and mostly LAUGHING.  I love the jokes and funny pics!

I've never worried about "negative" posts - the sheer number of POSITIVE posts makes the other insignificant.

I love the positive vibe this place has - much like teddy bears themselves, really!

Gaby and Lynne:
Welcome, it's so nice to put faces to the names...and such happy faces too! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Bonnie:
That's what it's all about...sharing, learning, caring and laughing with friends.

A lot more hugs to you all,
Sandi
