When GNetters leave us

Daman hope there will be great storytelling in the fabulous The Old Children's Bookshelf on The Canonsgate, second hand bookshop..I love that shop!

kitty jingle is no longer registered

By the way, anyone seen jingle?

I've just checked up on Susie's cinema project and it looks as though her group took over the lease about a month ago so no doubt she has better other things to occupy her at the moment!

Daman, have a fine time in Edinburgh! It's the place to be for storytelling -the atmosphere of the old parts of the city will lend themselves to a lot of imaginative storytelling! Lots of shops and bars that you can retire to after listening and reading out. Maybe some of the storytelling will take place in some of these venues - probably will, especially in the wine bars !

..I think he's forgiven me, haven't you Daman .....[crawls away with tail between her legs...]

Damen

I am pleased to see you are getting a more favourable type of post from some G.N.'s. Give it a little longer and then trust your instinct as to whether or not G.N. is for you. Many of us will have had doubts so your line of thought is obviously very natural. There are some kind people on here.

I will be looking and reading your posts with interest.

Daman You must have been unlucky in your first post - caught someone at a bad moment. Keep posting - many different personalities on here, you will find kindred spirits in most posts.

What are your interests - apart from the story-telling?

grannyactivist Yes, I am doing the seven hour train ride from Bristol (listening and looking (inside the train?).
I shall do the last six days of the Storytelling Festival, and a bit extra 'flaneuring' and shops.

Crimson Ana Maybe there is a little door I can safely open.

Help I go away from GN for a few days and return to doom & gloom and lovely people leaving

Daman are you going to the Scottish International Storytelling Festival in Edinburgh?
If so then I'll admit it; I'm !!

It's hard to put this sort of thing into the right words, Ana - and you certainly didn't do it in a tactless way at all! Maybe Nellie and Susiecb will show up again in the next few days. I hope so.

I'm sorry you feel like that, Daman - I think perhaps you and Gransnet got off on the wrong foot.

Marelli, yes, that's exactly what I was trying to get across - in a rather tactless way, I fear.

Daman; you say on your profile that you're interested in films, so why not take part in any film discussions we have? Or come back and tell us about your trip to Scotland; many of us love Edinburgh and would be fascinated to find out more about the storytelling event. It takes time to get to know people on forums but after a while you get to know what different people are interested in.

Elegran I have only been involved about a week and I came in through 'The Oldie' magazine looking for a forum for 'Oldie' type men.
I bumped into a thread about 'friends' and made a comment and got rightfully roasted.
I hung around making a remark here and there - but I dont seem to have the makings of a Gransnet Forum person.
I'm going to Edinburgh next week to hopefully listen to a heap of storytelling, so will probably fade from here. Thank you.

Yes, Ana, and that's not really likely to be done, is it, because no-one would think to do it . If you'd tried to pm the person, and the 'nickname' wasn't known, then that would surely mean that the person had changed their name or deleted their account.

Thanks, Butter - no, I was just thinking that if something had happened to a Gnetter someone else would have to physically cancel their membership.

This is how, Ana - but hope you're not considering it........

How do I leave Gransnet?
We're sorry to hear you want to leave. If it's just that you'd like to unsubscribe from our emails, you can do that here by going to your preferences. You can also remove your Gransnet registration from the site. Go to My Gransnet and use the registration removal page. Please be aware that if you leave Gransnet, we won't be able to re-issue your username to you.

How do you delete your account, anyway? I can't see any 'I want to leave' options...do you have to go through GNHQ?

Daman There are 49 different sections in the forum, each with perhaps 100 converation threads on different subjects, and every poster can, if they want, open a new thread on what they want to discuss. It is quite impossible for a clique to control that number of conversations. Those who think they do are mistaken.

Where did you get that idea from? I have not seen you post on many of those threads?

That's been niggling at the back of my mind too.

For some reason earlier today I remembered a post way back last year, where someone had said, "What if something happened to one of us - how would the rest of us ever know?" And we wouldn't know, would we? [worried emoticon]

No, kittyl, I tried to pm her to see if all was well, but that was when I was told that the nickname no longer existed.

Did Susie go to the Midlands meet up? I know she thought she might. I also know that she is trying to save her local cinema so has maybe other/better things to do.

Thanks, Ana. I didn't realise that. Poor nellie. Hopefully she'll miss us and return.
