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.

How could I resist brownies?! Thank you Icy. And thank you anno and flower.

Delighted to meet you Dragonfly - welcome. You certainly will find a warm welcome here and all kinds of wisdom, and daftness (who? who?), in equal measure. It's done me a power of good, I hope it can do the same for you. In the meantime, I'm about to put some left-over Santa Hat Brownies, from another GNetter's recipe, in soop's kitchen, if you'd like to bring a plate and take some home.

No point at all, phoenix! Thank you all for your lovely warm welcome. I hope I get to know you a bit better as time goes on, maybe meet up in soop's kitchen. You've made my day considerably brighter, bless you all.

Oh God. I'm saying nothing.

Oh dear, she's read through many, many threads, no point in pretending to be normal, is there?

What a glorious name Dragonfly (as Rowantree has said!)

Hope you find your way round the site OK and enjoy the banter, wisdom and support which is always available on here. I can recommend the competitions too - some cracking prizes to be won and we even get to know who has won them AND sometimes it's someone familiar! flowers

Anne58 Sat 28-Dec-13 18:20:05

Hello from me, too. I seem to have been here from day one (judging by the "won anything" thread), and they haven't kicked me out yet!

Do enjoy this place, it is an amazing source of many things!

annodomini Sat 28-Dec-13 18:17:21

Dragonfly1, god to meet you. I am sure you will fit right in. Have you visited soop's kitchen yet? Great hospitality there!

Rowantree Sat 28-Dec-13 18:07:56

Welcome, Dragonfly1 - what a beautiful name - it conjures up summer days, flitting through life happily...
I am finding Gransnetters are wise, caring and comforting: and I speak as someone who's needed to bare her soul a few times. I am so glad I found this site! Hope you feel at home here smile

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

Dragonfly1 Sat 28-Dec-13 15:53:02

Thank you Agus! Am very excited that there are people out there!
