Trying to find a post from a few days ago

Can anybody help me find a post, and apologies in advance for the vagueness - I've used the search facility, but just can't find it.

A poster remarked on how worried she was about the possibility of the war in Ukraine spreading into the West and maybe going nuclear.

Another poster put up a longish quote from somebody famous (from the past, I think) saying how there was no point in worrying, these situations have happened before, will happen again and if the worse came to the worse, we wouldn't know much about it, so we should make the most of each day, now.

At least that was the gist of it, but put much more eloquently than I ever could. Does anybody else remember it, or did I dream it?

Was that the CS Lewis quote?

I think it was, GSM. Thank you. Now let me do another search. Here's me, an ex-librarian, can't find the info I need!!!

Found it, wish I was clever enough to do links. It’s in the thread asking if the war in Ukraine will spread across Europe, post by jocork on 11 March.

You were clever enough to find it, though, GSM. Thanks again. I couldn't find it, even when I put CS Lewis in the search box. I have now, though. It's a great quote.

It is, isn’t it? I find the search function on GN is useless. Glad to be able to help.

Having the same trouble. In the last couple of days, there were a few posts naming very comfortable hotels. I can't remember which Forum it was under. Help please!

I see you’ve found what you were looking for but if you need to find something again, this is a good tip. Don’t use GN’s own search function. Go to Google or your search engine, type in the subject you’re looking for and then type in Gransnet. I find that much more effective.smile

Thank you SueDonim, am off now to read at leisure.

Thank you SueDonim for the tip on searching.
