Who on Pet Talk do you most admire?

[gini]

I do agree with Logan about this type of thread. There are so many special people on Pet Talk and each is special for a different reason.

Some are just plain funny, some are amazing in doing rescue work, some are just extra special in the devotion they give to their animals. It would be almost impossible to list them all.

It is also difficult to respond and take the time to p/m everyone. There just aren't enough hours in the day and most of us have to work for a living.

It makes me feel terrible that someone would have their feelings hurt because they didn't see their name mentioned.

Every single one of us is special - otherwise we wouldn't be on this board and take the time to post as we do.

So, I say.............ALL OF YOU ARE SPECIAL!

Don't worry Tina, I wouldn't make it on anyones lists either.

While the people I listed ARE my friends, they ARE the people I admire the most. Also, a majority of the people I listed are ones i've met and come very close to over the 4 years or so i've been here.

As I said in my post, I admire everyone here for SOME reason or another.

Being that we all love our animals - fur, featherd, scaled, etc.. and we've got the hearts to take care of them and love them, makes everyone admirable here.

Actually I feel more hurt when my kitties don't get mentioned, when there are threads about who is your favourite kitty or something along those lines, because everyone here thinks and knows there kitties are the best.!!

I have never been mentioned much before myself, and yeah to be honest I felt a little hurt, but like Guster Girl said you just have to take it with a grain of salt, you know who you are, just because you don't get recognition on PT, does not mean you have failed in anyway,it takes time to get to know people and for them to get to know you, and micki put it very well, I agree each and everyone of you are special in your own way, and we should all cherish those thoughts.

Well, I've been lurking at this thread for days and really wanted to express my opinion but was too "chicken". Thanks for speaking up Tina.

I HATE these threads and never respond, not because I'm never mentioned, but because it singles people out and others WILL get their feelings hurt. I've never been hurt over these types of threads. I know that I am special to some people here and they know they are special to me. No need to name names. Tina, I was glad to be able to be there for you when it mattered. I've turned off my PM's for personal reasons but please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you ever want to talk. Just make sure the subject line says "From Pet Talk____" so I know that it's not spam. That goes the same for anyone else on here.

Yes Gini, we are all special, now I suggest we all have a group hug and move on.

And that's all I've got to say about that.

There are too many here that I admire to list and it grows each day. It would be easier to list those that I don't particularly care for.....maybe one or two. LOL! I think this is why PT is so addicting. It is comprised of a great group of pet loving, compassionate people from all over the world with great talent and wit which just makes it a fun place to come and hang out.

I don't get mentioned either, and it's not a big deal to me. No one take it personally, almost everyone has said that they admire everyone... don't take it so harsh. This is meant to be a nice thread. Remember; almost EVERYONE has said they admire everyone on this board... you included.

[anna_66]

I have to say I admire each and every one of you. There are some that I know much better than others but I think it's everyone here that makes PT such a wonderful place! Without all the different input it wouldn't be nearly as fun of a place as it is.

Now, I would like to thank you all that mentioned my name...I was very surprised to see that anyone admired me

Your all special in your own way

[Cincy'sMom]

I think there are a few PT members I can say I admire without hurting anyone's feelings...

4 Dog Mother and fivedogdad- Couldn't ask for better parents! You guys have been through alot in the past could years, but you still do whatver you can for your kids..both the human and 4 legged ones

Dakota'sMommy- Could ask for a better sis! Being alone during your entire pregnacny and for montsh 2-4 after Jasmine was born couldn't have been easy, esp with the 3 dogs. To all those who say you can't have dogs and babies, you have have said Watch me!!

Sadie'sDad- The one who has to put up with me everyday ( and even cleans up after me and the dogs when we track mud all over the house!)

What does it take to get "admired" on Pet Talk?

I always see those threads where people talk about who they really care for, who they admire, who they like, etc, etc.......
talk about feeling left out!
I guess maybe I don't talk as much as others or maybe I would have some friends on here too. (Maybe I'm trying TOO HARD)
I've tried to write posts to get people to talk to me & write to others as much as I can!
I feel that I've been here long enough to know if I would find friends on here or not & so far I don't feel successful at it.
I rarely get pm'd, only if necessary.
I feel that a lot of my words go unnoticed & it hurts.
I think maybe I will need to find a different outlet.
Thank you to those who have helped me through hard times......Jazzcat, Slick, Carole, & others.
I just feel sad tonight, too much to deal with.

it's okay, I'm not on anyone's list either.

Why would you be surprised?

Also, Im only on one list(and that made my day ), but before I knew I was on one, I didn't think anything of it. There are alot of people who take it more personaly, however.

I know that I am special to some people here and they know they are special to me. No need to name names.

VERY well said Slick. My thoughts exactly.

[slleipnir]

I don't like this type of thing either to be honest....If I get mentioned it's by like one person and that's only cause I've known them/are good friends.

Internet is hard, in a lot of cases you don't truely know the person...I believe it's very hard to 'truely' know a person unless you've met them..unfortunatly I haven't met anyone from PT yet...but I REALLY am hoping to get to flordia sometime with Zeke and visit Kay. Kay is probably one of my closest friends here and I talk to her the most and stuff.

The people I mentioned are only because they've REALLY touched me...like Sandra has supported me since day 1. She's always checked in on me and I feel like I know her really good...she's so kind. Johanna has ALWAYS been there for me. She helps me when I'm down in the gutter and always makes me smile. I owe her so much. And like I said, Kay is a good friend who I really hope I get to meet sometime...Valerie is a major sweetheart. Especially for something she did for me the other day that really brought light into my day after a really hard time. She's always shown interest in my drawings and saying things to cheer me up.

Honestly, I feel most people really wouldn't notice if I never came back here. They don't give me the time of day..and especially cat general ppl never seem to look at my posts. Maybe I can see why they hate me, but they don't know me and that's what irratates me.

If the people I mentioned hadn't been such an impact on my life I wouldn't have posted either. I know people won't post about me cause no one talks to me, no one knows me. I don't have friends in real life, andnow I can barely make friends online. It's just the ora I give off I guess.

Anyway....I suppose it really wouldn't hurt to not have these types of things at all..people always get hurt...or left out. I wish I could name everyone, you're all special and unique and admirable...but unfortunatly I just don't personally know a lot of you...

[flamepony12]

you are right, and what slick said is one of the reasons I don't like these threads either, it singles people out, and I'm never mentioned either.
