"very interesting page"

what does this mean? does this mean someone thinks the page is really weird and is trying to be kind and not say something else???

:groan
 
hehe - I've gotten that before and wasn't too sure myself. Just take it as a compliment ;) Interesting is good ...... right?
 
I've gotten that before and to tell you the truth... I don't really like it. I always feel like they think it's weird... maybe b/c that's what I think when I use that word. I'm sure if they meant anything other than something nice they would just keep it to themselves... I would.
 
I always keep not complimentary comments to myself but sometimes I get caught in the praise game where there is a page ahead of me that I really do not like. I'm always stuck for how I can say something genuinely nice and it always turns out lame like "it looks like you're having fun in the picture" or "great subject to scrap" or "you've chosen some nice colors to highlight your photo". I always wonder whether they hate me or would have preferred that I said nothing or whether they appreciate my effort to find something truthful and nice without just saying "great job" or some other meaningless thing.

"Interesting" might be a language thing too. If you looked up interesting in the dictionary, it wouldn't give you a negative definition so someone who's native language is not English would not know that it wasn't totally complimentary.

Haha .. well your pages ARE interesting, Amy.

I always laugh a little when someone puts "as always!" at the end of a comment. i.e. "Great page design ... as always!" because to me that reads like "yea yea yea ... I have to leave you ANOTHER comment"

Remind me not to put that on one of Peppermint's LO's.... yeesh... you try to be nice.... some people....

lol! But honestly, Peppermint, I love seeing your pages, I haven't seen one I didn't like and and always inspired by you. :)

Amy, I've gotten comments like that... I think it has something to do with how many comments they get in... My favorite that I've gotten was:

"The "chaotic" look works so well for this".... so does that mean my LO sucks? Oh and my other fav was "Nice LO, very "interesting".... ya I dunno... I just sorta scratch my head.. it could also be a language thing....
 
i say "as always" sometimes because certain scrappers never fail to impress me with their work, "as always!" hehe.

I'm pretty sure I've done that! But I mean it in the nicest way :)

"The "chaotic" look works so well for this"....

I've left comments this this too! Although I don't think I used "chaotic" - probably more like "messy." It's funny though - threads like this remind me that not everyone knows what I'm thinking in my head ...:imok
 
Totally me too - I only ever leave that comment on scrappers pages that I comment on all the time because I am in complete awe of their talents and I feel so lame with my comment so I stick in "as always" as kind of an apology for not being able to come up with a better compliment for their fantastic page.

Omgosh, I say that too. I mean it in the nicest way though. In fact, Peppermint, I'm sure I've said that you. Bwhahaha.
 
"very interesting page"


:groan

has my husband been leaving comments again??? LMAO (if you are at a loss, please check the "style" thread) :compcoffee


it probably a language thing... because to find "intrest" in something means you like it...

totally guilty as charged. :compcoffee i say it because i mean it and let's face it...i've yet to see a sucky peppermint page. :)

Oops! Guilty as charged :beat But I do ALWAYS love your layouts Peppermint! :wub
 
LOL I try to take interesting as compliment. I have gotten some not so nice comments before and in general you can tell when they don't love your page IMO. And you can tell the language thing...it's hard though!

And I say "as always" to people! LOL!!!!! I only mean it in the nicest way though! :D
 
I'm pretty sure I've said 'as always' more than once. Just means I'm in awe of the scrapper's consistently amazing pages :)
 
I have used the "as always" too but it's for the same reason as Amy. It's just that certain scrappers NEVER cease to amaze me. The interesting comment, well, I believe I've used that before, but it was more related to the activity in the photos not the LO itself. When I leave a comment - it's heartfelt and not generic. I always try and say something I like about the LO, but sometimes the entire LO is awesome and that's all I can say! LOL
