How judgmental are you?

No , I just put a subject into the open forum and let it meander as it may

Hello lotusflower and welcome - lovely name.

I say again, as the person who started it all, I love the path this thread has taken.

Do other people who start posts feel as though they are their baby (or is that just me)

thank you absent

We've brought up the subject of diverging threads before and I don't think anyone thought it mattered very much. It's always possible to bring a thread back to the OP if you want to pursue it. However, going off thread can be a sign the there's not much more to be said on the topic.

Exactly!

Most of us enjoy the way threads wander - it is just like chatting to a group of friends.

lotusflower now you point it out, I think there was a determined effort to go off thread some way back with chickens.

I don't think it was done with malice though. Some posters don't like too much conflict and try to head it off.

Hello and welcome lotusflower. I think you'll find that the sabotaging is completely coincidental and that we all have a great deal of respect – and liking – for kitty. As for infantile – some of us may be in that last and seventh age of which Jacques spoke so eloquently, but most are not.

Welcome Lotus Flower , hope you have a good time on Gransnet

lotusflower Welcome.

Welcome, Lotus FLower - I think this is your first post. What a lovely name you have chosen.

Infantile, sabotaging threads deliberately. No respect for original poster.

Seem to be a lot of bird brains on here suddenly'

Children are often very down to earth! My daughter reckons her hens won't be fit for eating after their laying years are over, so they will live in happy retirement until nature takes it course. I think she is just too attached to them.

How on earth did this thread get on to the subject of chickens? My DS and his family have half a dozen 'retired' free range chickens which provide plenty of eggs. At their previous house they also had a few. One of them developed a chest infection and while trying to administer the antibiotics, DiL inadvertently choked it! When my GD (then about 5 or 6) was asked if it had 'gone to heaven', she looked pityingly at the adult and said, 'No, Daddy wrapped it in a black bag and put it in the bin.'

Well, let's hope they stay there!

They very rarely venture out of Lils love shack,and gramps is still in the closet,greatnan xx

Don't forget our granddads, Nellie!

Good job there are no men on here,to hear the words cock and judgemental on the same thread..

Yes, I have just been accused of lying - do you think I should report it?

Just as well, Greatnan....

I couldn't see a thing - don't you start with the innuendos too! Remember, there are people on here who might take offence. Good job I am not one of them.

granjura - I did wonder what Greatnan had seen......maybe she wasn't so alone when she was in for that swim today...

It's just your dirty mind, Jura! You know how little interest I have in men!
