Change is good

[catnapper]

I see that everyone has a different reaction to the new board, and its mostly about the way they personally handle change.

I'm curious about how everyone sees change -- is it good? Bad? Utterly terrifying? Does it depend on WHAT it is, or just the fact that its change in general?

ME? I try to accept change and see what makes it better, but sometimes I resist change.

[CagneyDog]

I Utterly terrifying? .

Yes.

I hate changes.

[dukedogsmom]

I voted for progress. I love the new board!

Kim I am a real stick in the mud, i HATE change, I am just a person who loves her boring routine, infact change can quite upset me at times, however I think when change is forced on me whatever it might be, I soon become accustomed to it and just go with the flow, so far the new changes are good, I just find the page rather wide for my 17 inch screen anyone else finding that?

[Flatcoatluver]

I voted for scary, i learn to adpt, but its always scary first

[joanofark]

Progress - we need change to grow

I agree with this 100%

[neko1]

I find it confusing- especially when it comes to computer stuff

[catnapper]

Carol, go to the bottom blue band and click the button on the far left, that will change the width on your screen.

I understand not wanting to change. I myself have had the same hairstyle for many years (hey if it works! ) but for the most part I try to accept new things. Not ot say I'm always into the new and improved stuff. I'm just willing ot try to give it a chance.

YEAH SAME HERE!

[carole]

Ah Thanks Kim, that is way better now. see ya learn something new every day.
I also voted scarey but will adapt, I see the majority of people feel as I do.

[lisalee]

I'm afraid I voted for "terrifying"! I hate change and do not adapt well at all to change. I get all bent out of shape at any little change in my routine or my life in general. It can make life boring at times though, I wish I could adapt to change more easily.

OMG, did I write this? I agree with you completely Carole, that is pretty much me too.

I love change. When I was thirteen and my family and I moved overseas, I was scared to death. I didn't eat, I was sick, I was miserable...the typical teenager crap. But, once I moved, I realized how cool it could be. I made friends, and, grew to realize who my real friends were back home in South Carolina. I also moved again shortly after that, and, hated leaving. But, then I made new friends and realized who my true friends were in that place. Moved again, same thing. I always was saddened by moving, but, happy to meet new people and make new friends. Now, I have a handful of incredibly amazing, true friends. I know they are, because they've stuck around and have kept up with my life. I think it's good to leave the nest like that, and, try new things out. It's sometimes hard to tell where you're supposed to be, if you don't go other places. I'm glad to be back home, I know that. But, even now, I don't know if I'm done moving. But, if I move again, it will be 100% by choice, and, not because I have to. Anyway...change can be very scary at first...and, sad sometimes. But, I like it. I eat something different at restaurants every time I go...simply because as a kid, I would only eat four or five things altogether. I missed out on a lot being shy and close minded and picky. I still don't eat spicy food, but, for the most part, I'll try almost anything once.

I think the new board is nifty. Strange on the eyes, mine are still adjusting...but, I think it will definitely appeal to new members, as it is certainly an upgrade. I say, well done!

[Laura's Babies]

PROGRESS! We need to change with the times and grow.... and I do see we have a lot of new people here so we are growing.

[Karen]

I like change most of the time. Change for the sake of improvement is always good, I think!

I, too, used to try different things each time I went to a restaurant, but now that I have such strange food allergies, I have fewer choices, so pretty much just rotate between the "safe" items. Sigh.
