I should have spent some time with your mum Grace having read the thread and agreeing with her. I hate smutty innuendoes and think they should be nipped in the bud immediately. Tell her is far too hot for me to go out to the dog house though. There are lots of flies, probably because George the dog has found a dead bird and is rolling on it. I am very happy I am not George but you might like him. hmm

"Tolerance" - you are recommending tolerance, jingl?

It's the Scot connection that got you off!!grin

Ana Sat 24-Nov-12 18:38:01

Phew, I got away with that scot-free!

gracesmum Sat 24-Nov-12 18:36:41

Good point about tolerance. Remind me to run everything past you in future.
Ayesha, SWMBO - same thing.

None of the foregoing. A little bit of tolerance might not go amiss.

And just call me Ayesha.

gracesmum Sat 24-Nov-12 18:25:57

SWMBO has spoken - unfair to dogs perhaps? Any other constraints? Rhyming pentameter? Middle high Klingon? Better get it right - oh, of course must mis-spell too I expect.
Thanks annodomini wink

I`ve obviously missed something here, but welcome back Gracesmum, even though I didn`t know you`d been away!

crimson Sat 24-Nov-12 18:01:23

Better do as you're told, gracesmum smile; good to have you back!!

annodomini Sat 24-Nov-12 18:00:25

Nothing wrong with a bit of whimsy, JO5.

Ana Sat 24-Nov-12 17:53:39

I have to agree....grin

jO5 Sat 24-Nov-12 17:52:02

Please don't post anymore through your dog.

It just feels wrong.

annodomini Sat 24-Nov-12 17:46:04

That's a relief, gracesmum. I had a picture of you and Grace trying to keep each other warm in that doghouse. So glad you have come in from the cold. Stay here with us and keep warm, and bring Grace with you. wink

Ariadne Sat 24-Nov-12 17:44:17

Oh good, gracesmum! I am a bit bemused by all this but know I would have missed you. X

glammanana Sat 24-Nov-12 17:41:55

I must have missed something very important but hey-ho,I would truely miss gracesmum if she stayed outside so am glad you are back and hope you are not too cold and damp sweetie.grin

Grannylin Sat 24-Nov-12 17:41:35

A big pat for Grace for being there when needed and flowers for you gm.Oh to be a dog!

whenim64 Sat 24-Nov-12 17:25:20

Your reputation goes before you Gracesmum. You probably could have got away with a bit more! Ooh...did I say that out loud? grin

Butty Sat 24-Nov-12 17:12:46

Standing side by side with you there, grace. sunshine

kittylester Sat 24-Nov-12 17:11:27

Glad you are back gracesmum I would have missed you had you stayed outside. I seem to have missed a lot - I never look at the right threads. confused

Anyway, the above post was well said!! We are quite nice - mostly, and you are -always! flowers

thanks gracesmum i feel better now as i am not as educated as some but i am genuine smile

Ana Sat 24-Nov-12 17:11:05

Welcome back, gracesmum! smile

gracesmum Sat 24-Nov-12 17:06:35

Grace says "Thank you" Geraldine and Kat-ladies at GNHQ for saying mum doesn't need to stay out here any longer. I think she has learned her lesson but it has been an education for her to read lots of posts without giving in to the temptation to respond. And not a lot of kennels have wi-fi you know.

Thank you for messages of support and even jo5 saying I can come back .

Like the ins and outs of parliamentary procedure I do hope that it was more how I expressed myself rather than the sentiments but it was reassuring that a lot of Grannies seemed to agree with me. But 'nuff said (I am educated enough to know that is not how you spell it, just a turn of phrase) If it is occasionally like having to walk through the boys' lavatories to get to the library, so be it. I will look on' it as a tolerable price to pay for the friendship I have met, the supportive advice and the (mostly) intelligent observations of my fellow Grannies.
I know this is a different thread but if I may just comment on jo5's "advice" to anybody contemplating joining Gransnet, it amounts to four words - be sincere- be genuine.
It's not about education, it's not about spelling, it's not about who can shout the loudest and it's not about who can be the wittiest.
