New user? Old user? Lurker? We'd love your views.

fourormore is 100% right.
Could`t agree more.

Clique? Is that a club, a friendly one? If so, please can I join I'm feeling very vulnerable at the moment......

?

Have you thought of calling yourselves ‘4 in a bed’ ladies?

Goodness gracious me, that's way too racy for Gransnet isn't it ?

There could be a lot of variations on that theme HQ will be deleting us if we take this any further. Now I've broken my pearls in the excitement

I meant to say Gaunt, I'm all flustered!!!

Sodapop I came across it by accident. I too am an innocent.
It means having a foursome, says she clutching her pearls.
I had never heard of it!

Marydoll I've been thinking about 'four' and 'quad' and like Sodapop can't come up with the word you're thinking of. My nice clean mind is obviously a drawback!

Sally, go to the top of the page, left hand side and click on, ACRONYMS

Help!!!!!
Please could someone translate some of the abbreviations used in many posts? YABU etc. ( I can't remember them now .....typically).

Many thanks

Sodapop this was way too HOT for a genteel lady like me! ?

Now I'm intrigued Marydoll I'm all for adding a bit of spice to the proceedings.

Thank you, Gaunt47, this is all getting a bit tricky for me! ?.
The problem is that I was recently accused of being part of another clique. Does that give me a foot in every camp? ?

I found, what I thought was a great word for a group of four. Thank goodness I found out in time, that it has very risqué connotations! !

I have also derailed GN's this thread with my wittering on , so I'm quietly ?, making a hasty retreat!

Marydoll welcome on board, but we're no longer a triumvirate! Does that make us a quadruplet or something? At this rate it'll be HQ which closes the thread rather than any of our comments

Thank you, Marydoll, you’re very kind.

I’d vote for you to join our clique any day.

I could post, the The Dead Hand triumvirate could ignore what I've posted and talk among themselves, then they truly would be a clique.
I think that's how it works. ? ?
Oh ladies, notoriety at last!!!! ?

I do have to say, Maggiemaybe, I have never forgotten how you defended me, a long time ago when a poster was quite personal and nasty to me, a newbie! I was so naïve then and you were so kind!. Keep on posting!

Medium user. Not new, but only a few months in. As a newish granny, I joined Gransnet for granny stuff, but have found there isn't much of that around. Mostly just royal stuff and MM bashing. A bit of light racism and right-wing politics.

But despite that, for whatever reason, I keep coming back. Why?

Now isn't this cosy, a cosy clique. Oh dear, is that it?

Ooh I've never been in a clique before, cross fingers Maggiemaybe it will be ok,

I daren’t reply, Marydoll, in case I kill the thread.

?

Are you three the new clique? ??

Gaunt47 and Maggiemaybe The Dead Hand triumvirate it is. Anyone wanting to end a thread just apply to one of us.

With regards to people feeling that their posts may have been ignored, what about an Agree button (a bit smarter than Like). No ‘don’t like/don’t agree button though - a negative feeling warrants a (respectful) comment and maintains the debate.

I enjoy my daily fix of Gransnet letters (tho these have stopped coming thru automatically - any solutions out there) Reading about problems that us grans experience and which I can relate too, makes me feel that I could always turn to GS to find sound advice and tips about dealing with my 6 grandchildren who vary in age. I post only occasionally and its usually a handy tip. I'm afraid I don't feel wise enough to offer advice.
