Dear Gransnet......

I've only recently found Gransnet, but I think you may already have saved my life. I've spent the last couple of days reading through many, many threads and discovered that there are some very wise and warm Gransnetters out there who really do seem to listen and care. And although I haven't really posted anything about myself, I'm beginning to feel that, if I need an ear - which I sometimes do - you're there with your wisdom and warmth. Knowing that has chased away some dark clouds. So thank you.

Welcome Dragonfly, there are indeed many wise and warm people on Gransnet. People from all walks of life with lots of different experiences. Most of us at some time have benefited from those experiences and support, so if you are in need of advice, or just a chat, then you will always find someone on here ready to listen.

Dragonfly1 if you feel the need to share anything please do as there are those who will lend a sympathetic ear and offer words of comfort hopefully. Do not let dark clouds descend.

Hi there Dragonfly. Since my grandkids went to live overseas I have found Gransnet invaluable for both serious stuff and lighthearted banter...friends are even there in the middle of the night. Very comforting. brew
