Does anyone else think that there is far too much petty bickering on GN

If you read the threads there is quite a bit of banter between members, I am sooo dissapointed at this because at our age we really should know better. It makes me feel un comfortable and I have actually been at the other end of such goings on. Really not sure what response I am going to get with this thread but can not help but be honest.

I'm the same Bags

Well I've finished packing, apart from the charger for my scooter.

What do I do now?

I know!

I'll stir up the old dears on GRANSNET! Evil grin

I don't like that you couldn't find your inhaler though! Do you only have one? I have several: handbag, bathroom cabinet, shelf next to bed, Cub box, etc, etc.

Sorry, ga, but I really like your sone's sense of humour grin

No, didn't mean that Elegran. It was in reply to dorset's post about "old people going off on tangents"

Coughed myself stupid last night because I couldn't find my inhaler before I went to bed. I ended up getting up and having a cup of tea; hence the 2am Christmas tree. As I type this I have just spotted my inhaler in the middle of my nativity scene - Jesus is having a puff in the manger! I was visited last night by my son who for the best part of his 23 years has delighted in hiding the baby Jesus; putting him in inappropriate places, or making him do things the the real Jesus most likely would not!!!! I shall send him a finger wagging text to let him know his little prank kept me up half the night. hmm

Don't you want other Gnetters to use them jings ?

We could use ♂ to mean "Men!!"

Elegran Tue 18-Dec-12 10:44:33

Copy and paste from here. Copied from answers.yahoo.com It says there "just copy this" so I don't think they will mind.

Highlight the one you want, right click on it and choose copy, move to where you want to put it, right click to paste.

No! Should be entitled "senior laydees having fun". grin

Elegran Tue 18-Dec-12 10:30:54

Just a thought - we can use some of those thingies as emoticons while Tech gets round to making some more. Will start a new thread with them on. Cut and paste from there if you don't have a link to the URL .

I'm off now for the rest of the day, see you all in the grotto later wine

Ana Tue 18-Dec-12 10:16:21

And less of the 'old' if you don't mind, dorset! wink

Oldgreymare Tue 18-Dec-12 10:14:59

.....(Creeps up from a lurking position)..... and it has worked, hasn't it? (Feels safe to add something now) smile

Movedalot Tue 18-Dec-12 10:11:11

Dorset I think it is an attempt to diffuse a situation!

kittylester Tue 18-Dec-12 10:06:06

I'll send them over movedalot smile

dorsetpennt Tue 18-Dec-12 09:59:56

There are 12 pages to this thread - most of them nothing to do with the thread submitted about bickering - should be titled 'old people going off on tangents' smile

Movedalot Tue 18-Dec-12 09:52:40

Kitty and when those people with nothing better to do have finished your jobs my garden could do with some TLC because I am a fair weather gardener grin

Anne58 Tue 18-Dec-12 09:32:40

Try pressing Ctrl and + or - until you get the size you want.

kittylester Tue 18-Dec-12 09:32:05

Have you lot not got anything better to do than play around on your computers?

Right then - anyone with nothing to do - would you like to volunteer for

finishing the wrapping
(when the wrapping's finished the beds in the spare room will be available for changing - hint, hint)
making GF bread sauce
making GF pigs in blankets
making a GF loaf
making a GF lemon drizzle cake?

While you are all doing that, I'll be snoozing in the grotto!! grin

Yesterday, pressed all the keys on my laptop in an effort to make the best pattern, now everything has gone big and I don't know how to make it normal size again.

And I didn't even win!

jO5 Tue 18-Dec-12 09:04:34

granny-a, what were you doing making Christmas trees at 2 o'clock in the morning?! shock

jO5 Tue 18-Dec-12 09:02:55

That's a lovely Christmas tree granny-a. Ours usually wobbles off to one side a bit too. smile

grannyactivist Tue 18-Dec-12 02:09:14

Booh! It was perfect before it was printed!
