When GNetters leave us

Oh no - I'm so sorry to hear that nellie's upset and unhappy! Why haven't we come over as more supportive to her - she needs that from us. I feel as if we've let her down in some way.

My love to nellie please soop when you next text.

Was it something one of us said? She was a life-enhancing presence in our Forums. Please give her my love soop and tell her we miss her.

I've not been around on GN long, but what I really like is the supportiveness from everyone when someone is in trouble - and often frank opinions which probably wouldn't be possible from a close friend as it may upset. But when it does it's usually followed by profuse apologies as chatting in this way is really quite difficult!
But I like feel that you're chatting to acquaintances over coffee, or a face you vaguely know at the bus stop, something which can be walked away from or develop into deeper friendship.
The last thread I saw involving Nellie was when she was starting her new job and there were flowers, support and best wishes from everyone. I do hope she comes back - she seems like a lovely lady.

The last thread I read, I got the impression that she had opened up too far and maybe regretted it slightly and needed to retreat.Perhaps we should just respect that.

soop Please pass on my real sadness that nellie has left. I don't post often but I was humbled by her story and amazed by her strength and her humour and her whole attitude to life. In my personal opinion, GN was the better for her being here. I am sorry if my opinion is too late for her to hear.

soop please pass on all our messages, I enjoyed her posts too.

Thats whats wrong on GN at the minute the humour has disappeared!

I do try - perhaps a few other members could post a few jokes?

I have just seen what I thought was going to be a joke on another thread "What's the difference between a ceramic hob and an induction hob?" but it turned out to be a genuine question.

I'd like to know the answer to this Elegran because I hope to buy a new hob in the January sales

I agree with grannylin.

merlotgran It is on the "A new oven - advice needed!" thread on "Chat"

glass, I agree. It's humour in the threads that's lacking at the moment - not the more sensitive ones, obviously.

Thanks, Elegran

soop love to nellie please. And thank you for letting us know.

Give her our love, soop? Tell her that we send her ? xx

I am sorry Nellie has left, I have only just read this thread and we were hoping to meet up again next month, so am not sure now if she will still want to but maybe Nellie is still reading these messages.
I too have a break every so often as I cannot feel the need to join in with some of the subjects discussed but something makes me return and check GN out once again! Keep smiling folks, its only a friendly gathering of people isn't it?

I heard from Nellie as well, MaggieP saying she wanted to meet up. I replied but then I didn't hear from her again. Hopefully she's just taking some time out and will come back.

oh dear! I agree with glassortwo I have sat quietly and read through some threads).............. (although I never knew who or what actualy started it off)! maybe the best thing is to stop reading and leave a "certain thread" and try and move back to the happier GN that it once was.

I tried to call Nel's cell phone [only number that I have] and was told "number not recognised". I then left a text message [as on the previous night] but she didn't respond. Perhaps her phone is out of order. I shall try again later. Have stacks of supportive messages to pass on to her.

Our Nellie is not contactable.

Sorry about that for your sake, soop, but it occurred to me that nellie may have good reasons for wanting to be private which have nothing to do with gransnet.
