Getting to know all of you!

You don't live too far away from me Urmstongran. Maybe we'll meet up if you go to one of the local meet ups.

Oh you lovely ladies ... Thank you one and ALL!
Yes, my A - Z ledger comment was pretty much in jest (I'm not a stalkerish type). I think I was more curious if /how you all ‘got to know one another’.
Yes Jalima1108 I do think I’m meticulous (Virgo tendencies)!
Marydoll no, you are definitely not boring!
ffinnochio (where do we get these names ? I have to double check the spellings!). ... yes, I do live in South Manchester. I’m 64y (will you still love me?) and have been retired 4 years. Married 45y. I worked in the NHS for over 30y and have 2 grandchildren - a boy of 6y and a girl of 2y. We live half the time here in the U.K. and half in our small apartment in Malaga.
Hello janeainsworth. ?
And PamelaJl I think you are so right. We seem to remember kindnesses more than slights - life is too short to take offence at small mean comments.
Thanks everyone who has posted!
I think this turned out to be an interesting thread.

I'll mention you Jalima! You're a "peacemaker" poster. Never confrontational. Always tries to soften difficult issues with a kind word. Good sense of humour.

I wasn't mentioned Marydoll


I agree with what Melanieeastanglia said about taking notes!
It does remind me of a previous poster.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Kitty last summer as she lives near my relatives.

We chatted the whole time we were together and she was in person like she is on GN good fun and welcoming.

Marydoll and I get on well together through GN with a similar sense of humour.

I PM with a number of others from GN and thoroughly enjoy the interaction.

I think you're overthinking things. I tend not to remember intricate details of who said what in a particular post last week. Some people have mentioned tragic events and I suppose I do remember some of them.

I do enjoy Gransnet but I don't take it so seriously that I feel the need to take notes.

Urmstongran, Full of common sense equates to boring! ?
I will have to re-think my posts.?

I just almost asked where you're from..
MissA - do you want to end up on the Stupid Question Thread?

Right - pen and notebook at the ready!

Urmstongran - lives in Urmston, fairly new to Gransnet, meticulous?
lemongrove - age 90, power walks and does consultancy work for MI6
Don'taskme - oh, OK, I won't!

etc

I just take posts and posters as I find them really

...and what about you, Urmstongran ? What snippets of
information do you care to share about about yourself as an aide memoir?

Two way street and all that...

Not that I mind particularly what you do/do not remember about me, but I find even the idea of an A -Z ledger rather odd. Perhaps that comment was in jest?

Yes, I really do think you’re overthinking!

Thanks urmston.
I just almost asked where you're from..

kitty I think the clue’s in urmstongran’s name.
Urmston is a district of Manchester ?
I’m only slightly miffed that she didn’t include me in the list of Gransnetters she felt she was getting to know.
Hello, urmstongran?<waves>

Oh no, no no! mcem has just reminded me of a horrible experience with said poster who is no longer around (Phew!). I do NOT mean that people should be remembering who said what, quoting from previous posts and interfering in real life situations (makes me shivery just to think of that awful time).

In answer to your question, there are occasional meetups in different areas and some of us do, therefore, know each other but it's more about seeing names that one recognises. Meetups are usually mentioned on the threads.

Where are you?

I just pop in and out, here and there, and try not to be too controversial. I only comment on things I know about or feel strongly about.
I was overwhelmed by the kindness here when I had a mammogram recall a couple of years ago.

I can't even remember the names of those who have made nasty comments about my comments.
Life is too short.
However I DO remember those that have been particularly nice and helpful.

Would be a shame if we let one past event sour our responses now.

mcem Why do you think I need to be spoken to in words of one syllable? Just curious.

You're right paddy she deserves a relaxing time (that's if she remembers how to relax).

Gilly's probably run ragged in the pre Christmas days ,business home GC ,nativity plays wrapping etctec etc.Hope she has a fantastic Christmas and a great 2019 .From another run ragged gran x

Yes "gonegirl" in words of one syllable (oops!) I said I think op is just fine but some of us know that a gran went a bit wrong a few years back and it was not nice! Ok?

gillybob has been on a couple of threads today or yesterday

Oh! Come on! She's just being friendly.

Does that come under data protection?

I'd suggest you don't keep notes.
A few years ago we had a poster who did just that and frequently quoted from earlier posts, made references to families and work situations, pointed out apparent contradictions.
I believe you've no ill intentions but that poster became very unpleasant (and unpopular) and eventually left, leaving the rest of us sighing with relief!

Do me, do me!
