I have read this entire thread and I have to agree with all of you. People seem to have forgotten their manners and their upbringing. It isn't only here on Cute but everywhere in our daily lives. I've been here a long time, not as many as some but more than others. I have seen a gradual decline in "Thank You"s and flowers. Life is so busy these days. We sometimes forget to take a quick moment to post a simple Thanks! I am guilty of it myself so thank you for the reminder. No one is perfect and I know it is difficult to say Thank You to so many of you who post a lot of sites to check out. I know some just give a flower and move on and I think that is ok. At least it is an acknowledement (forgive my dreadful spelling, please!). Happy stitching my stitching sisters! Meri
The part that saddens me Meri, is that the failure to thank and instead complain is about Veronika's designs offered here on Cute. I don't mean the Freebie links posted in Community -- but the Designs offered for free daily here on Cute.
Well said!!i always wonder about the complaints as my Mother always said you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Very good advice; We learn and ask kids magical word : MERCI, THANK YOU, DANKE, .... I hope all Cuties will see the need to be thankful to Ms Veronika for the free designs without complaining.
I am thankful for all the freebies that I get, I wish that I was able to buy more than I do, but can't! Aleene
I am aways thankful for the freebies..........just wish I could order more from every site that gives them.
Thank you all for reading this and for your help with it. The comments have really improved. I hope all Cuties will see the need to be thankful to Ms Veronika for the designs she freely offers to Cuties for our use. I do hope everyone will avoid demanding a different design (design series), complaining about missed designs or worse....
Hugs!!
Thank you are the 2 most important words you can ever say. Doesn't cost you anything and gives so much pleasure. And it's easier to be nice than nasty.
Beautiful words!!! We must learn to be THANKFUL & GRATEFUL it takes you far in life <3 ;D
I'm afraid some people are not satisfied with what they get, BUT never forget the thought and effort that goes into providing a free design or the link to a design is done out of the goodness of their hearts and "Thank you" doesn't cost you anything but it can make someone's day happier. Marian
Thank you for this post. I often think of all the cuties who consistently take time out of their daily lives to share freebies and posts. I am one of those who gives flowers to all. Hopefully those who complain will take your post to heart and instead start posting words of gratitude.
I am actually posting concerning the daily free designs offered by this website and the other sister sites. People are complaining about ...stuff... instead of thanking Ms. Veronika.
I have not seen these, but I am not here 24/11. I do know that the gremlins keep scrambling the vote for the next day design. Perhaps they are your culprits also. Kay
well said! I agree wholeheartedly!!! Thanks for posting this.
Hugs, Nadyne
My motto for life is "If you have nothing nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all" - all my family know I live by this. Thanks for this gentle reminder rescuer, it is good of you to keep everyone on their toes. I am always so thankful for everything that is done on this website, especially Miss Veronika and staff, moderators and all the wonderful digitisers who help at the drop of a hat. THANKYOU TO YOU ALL. Love Chris
That was my wonderful Grandmother's saying also. I often think of it when I start to type.
Hi Kay, yes, I think our Grandmothers knew so much about life and the gentle art of good behaviour. Love Chris
Would to God be thankful if our young people were taught today as they were in yesterday the social graces/Lillian
Very good advice. I hope folks heed it. Many good manners have been lost on the internet. My thanks to all who give so generously of their time and talents.
Your message was worded lovely-you have a true gift with words. Thankyou for your kind reminder. I so appreciate this website and all of my lovely cute friends. Many thankyous to Ms Veronica for all of her time and effort and talent that she so kindly shares with us.
It is a shame that some people would prefer to leave a bad comment than pay the minimal price for a missed freebie, better yet, a six month membership is an extremely good deal.
Yes THANK YOU for all you do. I find myself lurking most of the time and have learned many thing from the cuties thanks again to all
Yes you are so right, the world needs more flowers and thoughtful people. I have nothing but gratitude for the free designs we are offered, and am very greatfull for them. If you have nothing nice to say then do not comment. The moderators do an excellent and sometimes stressful job at looking after us. Thank you. Sandra.
I am so thankful to Cute and all the cuties. the designs are freebies and we can vote tell the mouse goes out. Some days we may forget a design or we just are not home. VOTE!!!!! That's what I am doing everyday. No one is perfect so smile and get on with life.
How nicely put. I appreciate the moderators of any group, but especially this group.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth - he may bite you.
Thank you for the reminder.
If you have nothing to say...it's better to say nothing! I try to remember to thank everyone for any thing nice they do for me; even when I am able to make some one smile. I thank them for making my day. So Thank you to all the cuties and especially Miss V for your site, the time, energy and efforts of all the moderators, also. :)
Parole sante!!! Grazie mille per il vostro grandissimo lavoro!!!
Couldn't have said it better!!! Thanx Rescuer! Miss Veronika does soo very much for all of us, and asks nothing in return!!! Hugs, Judy...
WOW, what a jerk would complain about a design that was given to us to try out for free!!! I so appreciate those of you who understand enough of technology to create these designs and the internet to put it where others can use it.
yes cuties free is free so no complaints please:):)i to am always very thanful!!Hugs all Carolyn
Thank you so very much for the kind and gentle reminder to all of us.
yes you are right, there is so much we can appreciate here and be thankful for ! Thank you for this post :) And a big thank you for Miss Veronika and moderators !
I was taught that anytime I was given a gift to say "Thank You". I hope that this remains the teaching in this world. .
My late FIL used to say, some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope.
