    - I respect people who let their actions talk, rather than their tongue

    - I respect people who've tried and succeeded / failed in life, rather than people who've had success handed down to them and think highly of themselves for it

    - I respect people who understand that those who want respect, give respect.

    - I respect people who did right when doing wrong was easy

    News flash to the public... NOT EVERYONE LIKES EVERYONE..

    Love this!
  • I respect people who are straight-forward, blunt, honest regardless of what other people think. :tongue:

    Also, people who have a sense of humor and can laugh in tough situations. :love:

    Are Honest and not mean spirited. They follow the golden rule Do unto others.......

    I know it may be cheesy but I totally agree with said above... And also I don't respect many people either but the ones i do respect are the ones that will come to you if they have a problem with you. I mean what are you accomplishing by talking terrible things about someone behind their back, I'm sure everyone is guilty of this to some small extent because we are human but don't get caught up in it and recognize it.
  • I respect honesty....Say what you mean and mean what you say. Stand by your words, own your actions and if you're wrong, acknowledge it, learn from it and move on. This is what I respect in a person and what I want from the people around me.

    Total true. :smile:

    ...tell me they have a problem with me to my face, instead of whining to someone else about it, etc.

    What types of things make you respect a person?

    Whining, I totally understand you there, hate it..........BUT, and I am not saying I am right in this either, I feel like going to someone else to work out an issue is ok as long as they come to you afer and tell you to your face. I find it theraputic to let things all hang out in the open and work on getting into a positive, open minded, ready to listen as much as talk, and to be able to view things from their point of view kind of attitude first. I know for myself it helps me see everything........which is how I'd like to show MY respect to the person I am having an issue with.

    For me is someone who actually views you as a friend and not just because you like someone they like too and pretend to be your friend just to see how into you HE is and vice versa. And someone who is outwardly honest and not a coward when it comes to telling that person that you and the dude they like, like each other. Also, in saying that, someone who has enough respect to ask you if you are okay with them going out........of course not that they HAVE to, but its just respectful is all.



    Whoops........meant "after" not "afer"

    A walker versus a talker - I naturally give more respect to people who lead by example and true team players in life.

    what if they walk and talk simultaneously? Extra credit? Cause some people are multi-taksers...........

    In response to the topic at hand, I respect people who take responsibility for their actions (My biggest gripe is adults who blame everything on their childhood :mad: ), think about others, and would rather do the good thing -- even if it is harder than the bad one.

    1. People who admit error and work on fixing it.

    2. People who are self motivated to do things on their own to better themselves.

    3. People who really apply themselves and make family first priority.

    People who express how they feel the least confrontational and considerate way possible without compromising the issue.
    Also people who refuse to partake in *****ing. Like when they just get up and walk away. That makes me respect people.
    I also respect people who are organized. Freakishly organized, like so organized that it scares people. I respect that.
  • People with a good work ethic, honest, stay themselves (hate a facade), loyal, actually care, and goal-oriented. Don't make excuses, don't blame others for your faults, and then take that effort that's left over to fix the wrong. That pretty much sums it up! :)

    Yes, extra credit to those who walk the talk, becuase it's not easy to do.

    I believe I know what you are refferring too. The people who apparenlty have a problem with you but lack the maturily to address it in a private message but instead insult you on public forums. In hopes that this would hurt your feelings. What does this solve. Obviously nothing apparenlty except them looking like a fool, which only causes you to laugh. The try to discredit you in front of people based only on thier opinions. News flash to the public... NOT EVERYONE LIKES EVERYONE.. Get over it already.

    That was ONE TIME. Let it go, woman.
    REPORTED!



    P.S. Nice pic.

    :indifferent: I really want to know what happened.


    Ohhhhhh nothing between me an jbsmom =) That was just basically me sticking up for her to some people who I am sure read this post. They find that their lifes have more meaning if they stalk her and try to harass and discredit her on a public forum. Like anyone believes what they read on these things but in all respect.. they need to grow up. Find more useful things to do with their time. With that being said... where can I find a FRACKING PINE CONE BIRD FEEDER!!!

    Ah okay. Sorry for butting in. I thought maybe this question was a disguised personal attack, but couldn't figure out how. :laugh:

    Have you tried a home improvement or gardening store? They tend to have large selections of bird feeders.

    This one takes a while, and a lot of talking and walking, but I can't wait to get back into those size 34s...ha, ha. At first I was telling friends and co-workers what I was doing, now everyone else is asking me. It feels good.

    Alas, I am not the only one who knows how to make a pine cone bird feeder. Once upon a time, long ago on a dark stormy night...there was a whole thread devoted to it.
