Why do you use Gransnet?

For those of us who spend a lot of time alone it is 'contact' with someone out there. It is also great for those of us who are 'owls' or 'larks' when there is usually no one else around. In times when you need to share stress or problems there is always support from someone with similar experiences. It gives some perspective on issues where there are a range of opinions and makes you think 'outside the box'. Yes there is some acid but you don't have to respond, after all.
I have also met some lovely people on 'meet ups'. At our time of life it can be difficult to meet new people in the flesh, though on this site it can still be virtual if you wish!
Yes I like Gransnet. You can log in regularly or give it a break It does not matter as you are in control.

I fist started on gnet about 4 years ago and to be honest I loved winding people up . However after a cancer diagnosis and the tremendous support from g netters, I now take care to listen and support others, this has taught me compassion in my everyday life. I also know I can rant about various problems and someone will listen. Love to you all

I like to follow certain threads, mainly news and politics. I've never posted but one day I might. At the moment I enjoy following the debates.

I love it as it is but agree that a like button would be a good addition to the discussions

I can offload without anyone being hurt. Pretty much all of the responses are supportive and I like to add my own support to those in need when I feel I have something to offer.

Lovely post Ethel!

not sure, it could make you feel a bit despondent if no-one liked your posts
