Gifts for grandchildren’s boy/girlfriends
Are books a thing of the past ?
If you use a computer do you do back ups and hoe often - a precautionary tale.
I think we have an infiltration of ‘jokers’ on the threads at the moment Well of course it may be the same person with a variety of names but I have noticed four (at least) new names who are ‘ having fun’ with us
I presume reporting them and letting Gransnet sort them out is the only way forward
Has anyone else noticed ?
We need a sin bin

Touché, Holding!
Glad to see you DO have a sense of humour.
It's OK to look. As a kind and caring Gransnetter, I've checked it out for you. It's safe! Or then again, perhaps I'm trying to trick you. 
I will refrain from clicking on the link provided.
Who knows, it may be connected to Malware as we have been previously warned.
especially in the snow and ice which means you could slip and may not have a leg to stand on.
Jalima1108, I was going to post exactly the same thing! 
ps that was for holdingontomyteeth btw.

Must be chilly up there on the moral high ground.
Agree Marydoll, I'm sure hotmt was trying to be amusing.
But it was the OPs Thread title that I found rather odd.
Not something (imho) that under normal circumstances a Grandmother would write.
Another young lady who can't control her mouth
However if wrote by a man could be deemed as quite a sexist remark.As this is a thread about a thread I expect that my post will probably disappear quite soon 
holdingontometeeth, the problem is that, sometimes we try to be humourous or ironic in the written word, but that doesn't always come across, as it would in speech
Perhaps it would be better to lay this to rest and move on.
We are not all as nasty as you seem to think. You do have a tendency to rub some of us up the wrong way.?
Her teenage brother alleged that she bit him whilst they were play fighting. Marydoll
There wasn’t a mark on him but her innocent excuse showed that she tried.
All the nastiness was spewed forth without the facts.
I found some of the posters comments abhorrent.
You are correct. I was hoping that her comment would be seen as innocent humour but I was encouraged to vilify a 5 year old.
Such posters and others who have agreed with them are indeed a credit to themselves.
there was no bite
That's like saying 'there was no drone'.
I thought her teeth did it?
You were presumably holding on to yours hotmt - were you waving yours around in your hand like a weapon?
Conjures up quite a picture
Bless
I have to support Chewy here. Holdingontomyteeth , You did say she bit and said " Bless", in response to her saying she didn't bite, it was her teeth that did it . I'm not sure of the exact words.
I'm remember thinking at the time, who finds it amusing that a child bites.
I wasn't sure if you were trying to be amusing, but if you were, it has backfired. ☹️
There was no bite? Strange. That's not what you said in your OK. But who cares now?
Do what you like with your GD holdingontometeeth, I'm beyond caring. But woe betide any child that bit me or one of mine!
There was no bite. you jumped in head first to deliver your hateful suggestion.
I too am not bothered by your pleas of justification.
You talked on a thread about kindness.
That's what I call a special kind of kindness.
Now here's the thing holdingontometeeth; I don't happen to think it's funny or cute when a 5 year old bites someone. I think it's a behavioural problem that needs to be addressed, pronto. In fact, I wouldn't stand for a 2 year old biting another child, let a lone a 5 year who should have grown out of it by now. And it would appear that I'm not alone in thinking that way. Have a look at how young mum's feel about their children biting: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/behaviour_development/2371266-5-year-old-wont-stop-biting-at-school
Or this one, in which a a professional nursery deems biting, in a 17 month-old to be so unacceptable that he was excluded. Note, 17 months old. Not 5 years old.
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/nurseries/1607454-Nursery-excluding-a-17-month-old-for-biting-WWYD
But you seem to think that a 5 year old who bites is cute, funny, makes an amusing anecdote. It's not. And I can assure you that the parents of a bitten child wont find it cute, funny or endearing either. But, putting things into perspective, I really don't give a toss whether you bite your GD; give her a pat on the back or send her to join the Foreign Legion; it matters not one jot to me. But if not addressed, it will, at some point, matter to your GD.
Thanks for mansplaining our collective failings to us, Hotmt.
Oh for crying out loud Holding sing another tune you come across as arrogant and distainful angry and actually not at all pleasant
You said you were going to concentrate on the games threads please do
I m not sure if you are really of this character or you just enjoy winding people up or even if you are a genuine poster at all but you aren’t doing yourself any favours with your attitude on here
The If all posts about genuine problems were humdrum and trivial, and all dodgy posts were full of stories of unusual and sometimes lethal situations, how easy it would befor "you lot" to divide the sheep from the goats and draw a hard line in the sand! No hurt feelings from worried genuine posters, no further posts from the jokers as they would be wiped clean from the forum.
If you have a foolproofsystem, Hotmt I do hope you are employing it.
Oh go ahead bite a five year old, bite the head off a jelly baby, bite a neck. Nobody cares.
It didn’t stop you suggesting that I bite my 5 year old granddaughter to teach her a lesson, did it Chewbacca ?
In the past few months, GN has become a forum where I'm increasingly wary of posting anything unless I know and recognise the name of the OP. So many sickos, making up horrible tales, is ruining GN.
"You lot"??
Said with such disdain Hotmt
I believe you don't actually like women!
Not the first time you have made such a remark.
" you would be the first", how rude. I am all for equality but my understanding of this forum is it is called Gransnet, a place for older ladies to meet up and chat. God knows we are excluded from most places.
It is not a place for 10 year olds to show off about what Santa brought them or fantasists to share tales of peadophilia.
posters are clueless ? No. Posters are caring ? Yes
It’s open to all oldbatty
You would be the first to object if you were refused because of your sex or ethnicity.
There are dodgy ones appearing daily but as I have said before you lot of failed detective Clueless’s cannot distinguish between genuine and downright fantasy ( Evil sometimes as they are. )
No matter how outlandish they are they are well contributed to.
