MommaPooh and Goofy Will About This Page:

[Elliot'sDragon]

I guess it was just a wonderful story.
Whoever MommaPooh is, you wrote a wonderful story and I enjoyed it but realize that it was total fantasy.

[Belle*]

You know what Elliot? I can see why you would think that but it is true. I have met Theresa and spoken with her often. She is a wonderful person who has been through a lot the past few years. She deserves all kinds of wonderful things. What she doesn't deserve is people accusing her of lying on the Internet.

I'm sorry you are unable to conceive or believe that wonderful things happen in this world but they do. I am also sorry that you felt the need to doubt her so publically.

I'm in total agreement with Belle* I also have meet her and she is everything Belle* said.Dreams Really do come true!

I think Joe is just voicing what many have silently questioned. As for me, I loved getting caught up in the whole thing as much as anyone, and the romantic in me will always believe it, despite what could be some "flaws" in the story.

More than anything, I would hope that the different opinions wouldn't affect the friendly atmosphere of these boards - that is the one thing that is truly unique here, so let's protect it. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Okay,, I have to agree with Patsy-C on this one. I think that Joe was the only one around here who had the nerve to question the whole story, I must admit that I had my doubts and I suspect many others out there have them too.
At any rate, it is a great story true or not, and provided us all with some warm feelings and happy thoughts, and interesting threads to read, so no harm done right?

I dont think Joe was accusing anyone of lying and I didn't sense malice in his post. In fact I got the feeling from his post that he was actually rather dissappointed that he couldn't buy it. This tells me that he doesnt have a difficult time realizing that wonderful things do happen in this world.

I am actually thankful that he created this post, raising the question I had in my head for a while.

If it is a true story.....that's wonderful!
If it isn't, it was very entertaining and enlightning.

Fantasies can and do come true! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I got the feeling from Joe's post that he was sending out a call to Theresa out of concern.

We ARE all friends here and when you are talking to the screen, it's possible to get the wrong impression.

Think love, friendship and positive thoughts! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Joe,
We've all been keeping up with MommaPooh for quite awhile now. She and Will both deserve all the magic in the world....LOL, I think the folks on the board will all be at the wedding as a matter of fact [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] (Theresa, I hope you read that hee hee!)At any rate, it's just a testimony that dreams really do come true and yes, there are men out there like Will who need to publish a book on romance. I still get the [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] look when I talk about romance to Jason...will he ever learn?!? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

[Jolin]

I would call THAT an poetic license- I peronally would not reveal the surprise- yes we have talked about it but I want to keep the place and timing and the how a secret- you get it? momma were just tryng to do the same- from her viewpoint
I think Joe here were just being grumpy. Momma pooh knew from the note about the cocktail number and the $200 on the table that something big were going on but not exactly what so just chill out

It is distressing to see us doubting each other. This is a place of friendship, not a place of judgement. I never doubted the story for a moment, nor have I doubted any other story I have read. We all believed Cruella's horrific tale of being in the WTC on Sept. 11. We all prayed for her, and her family, and stood by her at one of the darkest moments she will ever experience. So, why can't we believe a real life fairy tale? Let us get back to the friendliest Disney Boards I have ever seen, and not doubt each other, Please! [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Joe simply stated his feelings. And others have stated theirs. We are all entitled to how we feel about things. What we are not all entitled to do, is give each other a hard time....so let's not let it come to that.

If I read Joe right.....he's basically wondering what happened to MommaPooh and GoofyWill. Neither has posted for awhile now..... So, he starts to wonder whether it was all just a story to entertain....

And I must admit it seems strange that they would have spent so much time on the boards over the past couple months and have come to mean so much to folks here, and then just simply drop of the face of the page....or that they wouldn't at least check in and give us the heads up..... -HiddenMickey

I will continue to enjoy the feeling their love story gave me and the enjoyment I had in reading it. Thank you Momma Pooh.

[Belle*]

I can't speak for MommaPooh and I won't. But I will just say that I have spoken with MommaPooh and all is well. They have their reasons for not being on the boards but those are their reasons and are not mine to share. I can however share with you that I am to be a bridesmaid in the wedding so I have no doubt of the story until proven otherwise.

I'm sure Joe's intentions whatever they were, (and I have discussed my opinion of them with him privately), definitely were not to start this type of discussion on our wonderful boards. So I will not apologize for defending my friend but I will apologize for my tone and for contributing to the recent overall negative tone of the board.

[HiddenMickey]

Thank you for your latest post Belle. I think that was very helpful. Have you told Teresa and Will that they've been missed? And how nice for you to be in the wedding! Very exciting [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]. -HiddenMickey

Okay gang, here are my thoughts (I know how much you all depend on my point of view..lol).
I don't know if any of you frequent other boards, I have. It is far from uncommon for someone to start a vicious rumor or tell a tall tale, I have even seen two different members turn out to be the same person. It is a bit twisted, but it happens.
I can't blame Joe for his doubts....not one bit.
It is awful to find that you believed something and supported something to find it was a farse.
Momma and Goofs story was a big one, I came to the conclusion that it was just that...a great story...I wasn't going to let myself get wrapped up in it or expend my emotions in it. Lets face it.....it was the kind of story that you would see on tv. It happend to come at time when all of us were so shaken by the events in the world and it did what it was supposed to do and picked up our spirits.

It is strange how Momma and Goof dissappeared off the face of the boards. Why is it strange that Joe has a friend that does reservations? Thats not strange,, I went to school with a girl who was a chef somewhere down there in the world, and another girl who was very talented and worked in Hoop de doo and other shows. Thats two girls out of my graduating class.

I dont think there is any reason to be negative towards Joe and his thoughts.
This has always been one of my favorite places to go, simply because we respect each others opinions here. It is a place where I have found great comfort from great people along with great advice and good laughs.
Joe raised an intereseting question. Thats all. I also think it was very nice that he waited so long to pose the question..He could have attacked the whole thing from the get go like an animal. But he used discretion and kind words. Cheers to him for expressing his concerns.
I like to think that in this place, I can express my thoughts, even ones that go against majority, and still be respected and welcome here, and if my opinions or thoughts are not aggreed with, I hope that I will not be lashed out at in anger, as for my thoughts and opinions are never expressed in anger.

Jolin,
You do make a point about keeping your mind open for the unexpected, and that people certainly can have a lot of connections at WDW.

But I think Joe was just trying to help you out by giving you a personal reasonable explanation in his email to you, it was a generous thing to do. I would have to think though that posting that note and continuing to push a topic that someone was trying to end is not going to help things.

We have all the time in the world for Will and MommaPooh to come back and tell us of their recent adventures, and I anxiously await their return to be updated on their status.

I never intended to be mean or harsh, it's just that I am tired of people attacking people- it hardly seems necessary especially at this time of war- enough people are causing unknown harm to other people. anyway I'm gonna shut up now and get to class. yes joe were kind enough to let me know what his objections are and they certainly seem valid. although I like a well embellished story [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I also like to embellish my stories to make it seem more exciting IMHO
