of very lovely caring people who love to share with others. Every once in a while a rotten apple needs to be tossed from the bushel so as not to spoil the rest.


This is the outlook I take at this or any other sight....
I chose to participate because most everyone is so friendly, positive and helpful. Those that are not are not happy with their lives and will eventually move on when they see how the rest of us band together against their negativity. I chose not to take anything anyone here says personally, one main reason is although you have become my "on-line" friends I have not met any of you, and you probably have never met the negative person personally yourself.

Like I used to tell my daughters when they where small (and visually show them). All the positive people in your life are like jelly beans in a bowl, the negative ones are like a marble thrown in the bowl with the rest. You can let it spoil and overshadow all the good or you and pick it out and dispose of it. The choice on how you deal with it is yours alone. Those who speak out against the abuse of others are chosing to remove the marble and enjoy the jelly beans.

What I'm trying to say is the rest of us jelly beans want you to stay, the marble can go!!

I wish you the best in whatever you decide, as I read all the comments on this I see there are many here who will dearly miss you if you go. They are the people who really count.

Agree with you :o)
Like the nice little rabbit in Bambi was always told by his mother: "If you have nothing nice to say keep quiet ;-)" Some people better do it this way...
Greetings, Bettina

You are right about not leaving. If we all left that person has won. So we need to stay, and let those know that we will not be pushed out.If we have done something wrong we know we did. But we don't need others telling us all the time that we can't do this and can't do that. Like me I love helping people, and if we didn't share a few secrets, tips or designs, project ideas, we all wouldn't be here and we all wouldn't see everyones beautiful projects and there wouldn't be anything. We all would be empty. Everyone has share something in their lives from generation to generation.
Im sorry to ramble off.
HUGS to ALL of YOU.

I agree. I have noticed a difference lately, but as I said to a friend, I will wait it out. I admit I do not spend as much time on Cute, but still check in everyday. Because of my pain level and too much time on the computer increases it, I have had to spend less time to help keep the pain managable. But I still love to spend time with my Cute family.

We've lost a few people already - which is a shame. I hope there won't be any more added to the list.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Even if it's wrong! My Mama used to say that a lot, too. Just smile and know that they are wrong. And let them make a fool of them self. Usually they do that very well without help.
