I Haven't Said Nice All Day, But It Was Tough.

So I joined this group, " No More " Nice " In Comments" and I have to say, I'm not sure how many photos and posts I have viewed today but I'm pretty sure I didn't say nice one time. I am so proud. Never realized how hard it is not to say nice shot, nice pic or nice anything. Just saying.

That's good - fantastic - hard habits breaking is a good thing - thanks for sharing :-))
Diane Huizenga Sep 13, 2010, 7:24pm UTC
LOL thanks Bernard
Winona (the crazy rat lady) Sep 13, 2010, 6:45pm UTC
I try REALLY hard not to just say Nice or Pretty or similar when I'm leaving comments. Sometimes I slip up and do it. lol
Diane Huizenga Sep 13, 2010, 7:24pm UTC
It's tough not to use those words. Thanks Winona.
maria s. Sep 13, 2010, 7:03pm UTC
I know what you mean.

Some people only say "Nice"never a real comment.
Diane Huizenga Sep 13, 2010, 7:25pm UTC
Yup thanks maria.
Carrie Marie P. Sep 13, 2010, 8:28pm UTC
It certainly is hard not to say 'Nice' sometimes... but, good for you! :)
Diane Huizenga Sep 13, 2010, 9:01pm UTC
LOL thanks Carrie
Annmarie B. Sep 13, 2010, 10:59pm UTC
Okay, I won't say nice post. oopps I said nice
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 8:35am UTC
LOL see how hard it is not to say thanks Annmarie.
Annmarie B. Sep 14, 2010, 9:50am UTC
Nice reply, nice post, nice day!
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 11:07am UTC
LOL you are a hoot.
David W. Sep 13, 2010, 11:47pm UTC
This was so nice of you.
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 8:35am UTC
LOL thanks David.

May I offer my congratulations! I've noticed how many of the group members are making more memorable comments. If you haven't joined yet, it's not too late to be considered a charter member at No More "Nice" in Comments. It's easy to get featured if you send posts and photos that inspire creative comments, so please remember to send us such posts. The only requirement is that you try really card to leave original creative comments of over two words and not say "nice."
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 8:36am UTC
Thanks Barbara.
J. Reid Sep 14, 2010, 8:42am UTC
Great, some of us are rather busy, rather than not saying anything at all, I much prefer a "Nice" to a recommend and NO comment at all! Just me!
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 8:59am UTC
I have been trying to say more than just nice and my points jumped yesterday, I didn't post anything except this and my points should not have jumped as much as they did, but I have more time than you do. Thanks J.
J. Reid Sep 14, 2010, 9:16am UTC
I am just so not into the point watching thing I tend to cash out once a month here and more often elsewhere, so I do not feel the need to monitor my points. Also, I have had to reduce the number of group entries, so I can give my full attention to my work with students--classes have started,I am referring more students to others than last year. My time is shrinking.
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 9:30am UTC
I admit I like the points but it's not the most important thing to me. I love the photos the most.
J. Reid Sep 14, 2010, 9:34am UTC
I agree yet, when I post the sunrise and the entries to a group challenge I am swamped with comments to respond to and I do not have the time.
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 11:10am UTC
Need more hours in the day ay J. I'll see what I can do lol.
Tina Coruth Sep 14, 2010, 9:14am UTC
Hmm - got me thinking. I will give that a try - not saying that word, which I confess I have already said today!
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 9:30am UTC
LOL I hear ya Tina, and good luck with that.
DIANE D. Sep 14, 2010, 12:21pm UTC
Hope you have a nice day, whoops!~
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 1:14pm UTC
LOL thanks Diane
Robin G. Sep 14, 2010, 12:40pm UTC
That is a fantastic idea for a group!
Diane Huizenga Sep 14, 2010, 1:14pm UTC
Yea I like it, has made me think more about my comments, thanks Robin.
Lets not and say we did Sep 14, 2010, 3:19pm UTC
Thanks for the post
Diane Huizenga Sep 17, 2010, 12:06am UTC
You're welcome Lets not and thanks.
amy bryant Sep 16, 2010, 10:07pm UTC
That's what I've been doing for about a week now, thinking more about my comments, I mean. It really works to be able to come up with more than just a three or four word comment.
Diane Huizenga Sep 17, 2010, 12:07am UTC
I think you're right, yesterday or was it the day before I posted one thing, commented like crazy and more than a word or two and my points jumped well over 50 points. Thanks amy.
fabulous . . . . . .

I would be hard set if I couldn't say nice at least once in a while . . .
Diane Huizenga Sep 17, 2010, 12:08am UTC
Yea I use it on another site lol, it's tough not to say, thanks Randee
I think I say it about every third or fourth comment I make......
LOL . . . . .
Mary McKinney Sep 17, 2010, 1:17pm UTC
Never thought of that either. I will join, and try not to say the N word :)
Diane Huizenga Sep 17, 2010, 2:20pm UTC
It's tough good luck. Thanks Mary.
Matthew A. Sep 19, 2010, 12:42am UTC
Good point Diane! It takes a lot of time here on Gather to actually get far enough to make anything from the site. All too often we jump around with comments so that we can get more done. Nice is one of the easiest comments to post.
Diane Huizenga Sep 19, 2010, 12:46am UTC
Yes it is but it seems if you give more a comment your points go up faster, I may be wrong on this just seems that way to me, thanks Matthew
Matthew A. Sep 20, 2010, 4:27am UTC
Keep working bayboo. It will come :)
Ms Lee P. Sep 21, 2010, 10:21am UTC
I would suffer from withdrawal symptoms if I could not post the "nice thanks for sharing" thingy ... LOL!
Diane Huizenga Sep 21, 2010, 10:32pm UTC
I know what you mean, thanks Lee
little pixie Sep 22, 2010, 8:30pm UTC
well i have a hard time with that two.
Diane Huizenga Sep 22, 2010, 11:28pm UTC
It's tough for sure, thanks little pixie.
Jenn P. Sep 23, 2010, 3:59pm UTC
hehe
Diane Huizenga Sep 23, 2010, 9:58pm UTC
LOL thanks Jenn
connie h. Sep 30, 2010, 2:11pm UTC
So now you have to think of another word to say when you leave a comment.

here from FF
Diane Huizenga Oct 2, 2010, 10:54am UTC
No kidding connie, thanks.
DIANE D. Oct 2, 2010, 9:21am UTC
Sound like a nice group!
Diane Huizenga Oct 2, 2010, 10:54am UTC
LOL it is a nice group. How funny.
amy bryant Oct 5, 2010, 5:13pm UTC
Congrats on that. I always try to comment on something in the picture.
Diane Huizenga Oct 6, 2010, 10:48am UTC
Thanks amy
Marsha C. Oct 23, 2010, 11:46pm UTC
nice, pretty, neat, cute, cool.....I'm guilty of leaving these one word comments some if I just can't think of something else to say....or I'm in a hurry.....sorry, they will keep coming from me
Diane Huizenga Oct 24, 2010, 10:30am UTC
Ya I hear you Marsha, it's tough not to say and sometimes that's all I can think of to say. Thanks.
Linda T. Oct 29, 2010, 12:48am UTC
It is had not to use those one word comments especially when your in the commenting type groups. However sometimes there is no other word that will describe the post or photo. FF
Diane Huizenga Oct 29, 2010, 8:27am UTC
No doubt, thanks Linda.
Charis R. Nov 2, 2010, 5:00am UTC
You are so "nice" Diane! :)
Diane Huizenga Nov 2, 2010, 8:49am UTC
LOL thanks Bella.
DIANE D. Dec 25, 2010, 9:27am UTC
LOL, THAT;S NICE. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Diane Huizenga Dec 25, 2010, 10:33am UTC
Merry Christmas Diane and thanks
