Bruha so so sorry if any misunderstanding everyone knows I would never make a nasty assumption (must go to specsavers) please don't lurk please join in we are very very nice.
welcome to kissy nice to see new people.

kissy...a warm welcome from Kintyre.
Bruha It's good to have you join us. Lurking, as I used to do, is nowhere near as much fun!

Hello, kissy and Bruha and welcome!

Hello Kissy, welcome!

GK is that Talking Point the Alzheimer's society forum ?
I post there too. No others for me.

Hello kissy! Very pleased to meet you .
Bruha - keep posting, please!

Hi Kissy
Welcome. We're a nice bunch on the whole. Like any family we get' hissy' moments, but apart from the 'serious' threads we are a very supportive and occasionally zany and mad bunch![smile\

I agree with glass, bruha - join in. I have made angry posts, sentimental posts, embarrassing posts, boring posts, insightful posts - the whole range. Find you feet and go with it.

Welcome kissy

Just seen Bruha's message - stay with it Bruha, just keep on posting.

Hello and welcome kissy ( I actually enjoyed typing that and am a bit envious of the name ).
Elegran has made some very perceptive observations with which I agree. I joined GN right at the beginning and have enjoyed 'meeting' posters both old and new and I expect I will continue to do so. In my own day to day life I often feel as if I'm living in a soap opera, so I don't need any additional stress/angst/drama. I therefore usually choose to participate in threads that steer clear of those posts/topics that might engender such a response in me. I am very fond of Gransnet and feel privileged to have such an enormously wide circle of wise and supportive friends, but also recognise that there are bound to be ups and downs from time to time.

Bruha, I don't know why that happened - perhaps sometimes people don't read the posts properly. You made it quite clear that you were talking about another forum which seemed a bit cliquey - please don't go back to lurking!

bruha no dont lurk join in. You have taken the step now you cant go back to lurking.

Hello kissygrandma

Oh dear I've been misread again I did not mean Grasnet Pet Forum was cliquey it was some other forums for Dogs I tried. Off course people who have been on forums for a long time know each other so it more easy to for them to chat together. I think I will lurk a bit so I don't cause any more misunderstandings

Welcome kissygrandma. Why don't you have a look around and visit a few different threads, old and new, to get a feel of what Gransnet is like? It's a supportive, friendly place with some feisty people who are there to provide support, entertainment and lots of good advce and ideas

Hello kissygrandma, say what you like, we are not a mean lot, I promise you

'Hello kissygrandma - I'm fairly new here too but everyone has to make the scary move of coming through the door for the first time sometime...so - get chatting

kissygrandma , welcome. How could we be mean to a gran with a forum name like yours?

This is my first forum so i,m not quite sure what to expect. After reading some of the comments I have to say it,s put me off joining in things a little in case I say the wrong thing! So if I do, please be gentle with me! [Smile]

jeni - yep - shaped like dogs, feels cruel shoving me feet inside 'em!

And a mug of cocoa! Very Beatrix Potter...

A goose with fluffy slippers?

T'wast chasingthefrog...Perhaps I HAVE finally lost the plot...unless it was someone else? Grrrrump - I don't know (I'm now shuffling off into the sunset - with my nice new fluffy slippers and a mug of cocoa

Before I go...a for Jings

I go on an American film forum called chasingthefrog; maybe that's what you're thinking of? Mind you, not many people go on that now [same with my racing forums]. It's all Twitter these days [which I don't understand ].
