Hello everyone!
Happy Monday Morning to you all!
I'm having an exciting week. Several months ago I booked two nights at the Great Wolf Lodge, Poconos, PA for this coming weekend.
Don't know if anyone has ever been there, but it should be a lot of fun. It's a resort with an indoor waterpark. We're planning on telling the kiddies this week. It's an early Xmas gift....
So, the bad part is I have to get into a bathing suit. In December.
(let the screaming begin.....)

it is rare for me to complain on the forums.
everyone in the universal forums always play "nice" and everyone gets along.
if a homie has a different opinion on something that has been posted, it is done in a very non threatening way. hard feelings are avoided then. no matter what thread/forum it is in, we all get along well with each other.
i can't say i have ever seen a newbie come to the forums and get treated unkindly.
if they have questions, someone usually answers it the best way they can.
i do spend a lot of time trying to help those with a question.
i sometimes am able to find threads that i can link to the poster to for additional help.
some people say thank you and some don't. that is not an issue for me.
people get busy and once they have the info they requested, they can plan their trip better.
last night i helped, or i thought i helped a new person on the forums.
they had a question about discounted rooms at universal.
sad to say, it blew up in my face.
i am not used to a rude and sarcastic reply in the universal forums when i spend the time to help someone.
now i ask myself, do i continue to help others when they have questions, or just let the post go unanswered. i'm torn on what to do now.
when i see a post that no one has responded to, i try my best to find an answer for that poster. a newbie that is ignored with a question will not come back for help. many here on the universal forums have a lot of knowledge and we help each other about things for the parks, hotels, transportation, etc.
we all were newbies at one time and i know some of the questions are repeated weekly but i still don't like to ignore those posts.
maybe i should start being like other universal posters and not get involved to help.
i'm really at a crossroad on this.
should i or shouldn't i help others?
what would you do?

Afternoon everyone ...
Scotlass ... that Santa link is too precious ... I think I'll do one up and send it to hubby
Mac your posts are greatly appreciated. Believe me I read pretty much everyone of your posts. Considering how much you post on unreplied threads I thought you probably cut-and-pasted from some wiki you previously came up with. Like bonny saids don't let it get to you; I looked up 'their' other posts and 'it seems to me' that he/she is a bit harsh when they post. Some people just really come off strong cause they aren't face to face. That's the interwebs for ya.
MAC :You are AWESOME at giving GREAT advice. Like Bonny said don't let one bad apple get to you!!
Everyone on this board has helped me greatly so you are now blessed with me and my chatter!!!

Mac please don't stop helping due to rude newbies that ask for help and then get rude when its not what they want to hear.it is rare for me to complain on the forums.
