Missing GN members

I can’t keep up when people change their names and others often seem to know who they are - but don’t say (of course). When people go missing its often just after they’ve been picked on, but I’m never sure whether they’ve actually gone or just morphed. There are a few new (to me) names appearing who seem familiar which makes me wonder ....

sharon I think lovebeigecardigans was on the sewing thread a couple of days ago.

Might also be that so many threads are variations on a similar theme, and GN just doesn’t seem as interesting as it once was.

So some posters don’t bother posting.

That is preferable to them being ill.

Oh, and then on the 19th on the “Where is Dominic Cummings?” thread.

NotSpaghetti Wed 27-May-20 23:53:05

M0nica was on the “Less deaths due to cancer” thread on 14th April.
I think that’s the last time I noticed her.
I hope she’s ok.

Oh Gillybob I thought you couldn't name change on GN? Obviously, I'm wrong!!

gillybob Wed 27-May-20 23:38:18

I’ve always been myself ( the same name) on Gransnet since 2011 but I know a few people like to name change every now and again . Trouble is I struggle to keep track .

I hope our missing GN friends are all okay .

I think we'll have to get people to put in a request for annual leave if they want to go swanning off. smile

I always think of people when I'm nodding off, now I can't remember who they are!

Oopsminty Wed 27-May-20 23:26:22

POGS.

I used to like their posts.

merlotgran Wed 27-May-20 23:24:59

Blimey! I thought that was another missing GG.

I've always been rubbish at working out who is back and who isn't. grin

mamaa Wed 27-May-20 23:21:10

gabriella resurfaced on another thread a few days ago with a name which linked to GG but Ive forgotten where I read it now sorry. Another poster remarked then that her ‘disguise’ or words to that effect wasn’t very good and in true GG fashion she replied with both barrels!

EllanVannin Wed 27-May-20 23:10:59

POGS. Henetha to name a couple.

EllanVannin Wed 27-May-20 23:09:57

If you go back to posts from the beginning of the year there are quite a few missing.

merlotgran Wed 27-May-20 23:08:38

Posters often say they are taking a break from Gransnet but when they don't reappear it's a bit worrying.

gillybob Wed 27-May-20 23:05:37

Spooky X posts with you fatgran x

gillybob Wed 27-May-20 23:04:44

I’m missing M0nica and GabriellaG .

Thank you GagaJo it’s worrying .

I am missing others too x

fatgran57 Wed 27-May-20 23:04:14

Yes - I have posted a few times about missing members - in particular MOnica and now Gabriella.

They are both in a very vulnerable age group and stopped posting quite suddenly.

This is and will happen to gransnet members, as we have no way really of letting our families have our details and posting a note letting other members know if anything has happened to us.

On two occasions I recall family have let us know when sadly a member had died, but usually we will not know.

It's in the back of my mind when I'm on here that some of us have disappeared since the onset of C19. Who are we missing?
