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?

Callistemon Fri 29-May-20 15:48:22

No, Gonegirl has gone to pastures new.

Maggiemaybe Fri 29-May-20 16:45:17

Oh no! Can’t we do something to tempt her back? Maybe lay a path of treats leading straight to our door?

Callistemon Fri 29-May-20 20:02:37

What does she like?

GNHQ would be on the warpath again.

merlotgran Fri 29-May-20 20:09:33

Gonegirl would leave a little trail of clues if she were to reappear.

Shite! and a frozen chicken being two of them. grin

merlotgran Fri 29-May-20 20:10:05

She won't be able to use those now. shock shock

Riverwalk Fri 29-May-20 20:46:22

She likes cake!

GGumpteenth identified herself on a thread earlier this week.

Iam64 Fri 29-May-20 21:54:11

I’ve missed POGS - we had different politics and could disagree but never fell out. I appreciated her analysis and ability to remember detail.

Chewbacca Fri 29-May-20 22:31:41

I too miss POGS. She posted the most well researched and articulate information and was never cowed or harassed into silence by those who frequently disagreed with her on the News and Political threads. Like Iam64, I didn't always agree with her political outlook but she always presented her opinions without resorting to shouting anyone else down or insulting them. And I admired her for that.

maddyone Fri 29-May-20 23:17:43

I liked POGS too. Always reasoned debate from her.
What I don’t like is that all these posters have gone missing and we don’t know where they are. I know some choose to leave but in these times it bothers me. I don’t care what their politics were, whether I agreed or not with them, it bothers me that they’re not here.

I need to apologise MOnica hasn’t been on GN I ve been hunting and hunting but it was an old thread that someone had obviously renewed I saw her name and thought whoopppee didn’t have time to go any further
Sorry to give out wrong information

Hi beige is still here. I post most days on Limericks as I find it entertaining if I can think of a word which rhymes - some are a bit of a challenge.
Have posted on Good Morning Saturday today, earlier than usual as I woke up stupidly early. I'm a real thicko with modern technology and my brain freezes when the pc plays up. With tech it's like a screen has come down over my brains and it says, 'out of service.'
Funny thing is, I can post on the pc but not on the phone. I don't know if it should be one or t'other or both. Perhaps I should run off to a log cabin on a mountainside somewhere away from it all but I'd miss the modern world.

kittylester Sat 30-May-20 07:57:32

jalima is atill here with a name change.

Kalu Sat 30-May-20 09:08:14

Posters I do miss are:
WhenI’msixtyfour
JaneRowena
Tegan
Gonegirl (*jings*)

I always enjoyed their posts but they have been away for so long now. If you are still reading what’s going on in GN land, I wish you well.

Calendargirl Sat 30-May-20 09:13:48

MOnica has not posted for a while since saying she had a cough and cold, but definitely not Covid she said. Well, I have not seen any posts.
I tried to find the thread, but couldn’t remember which one it was.

Kate1949 Sat 30-May-20 09:42:38

Hello Bellanonna I'm here KatyK as was. Bless you for noticing. I came off GN after a being 'ticked off' by some posters a few times for what I believed to be innocent remarks. I don't need that at the moment. When I rejoined I couldn't seem to use my old name so used this one. I am now more of a reader than a poster. I still enjoy reading everyone's posts and chip in occasionally.

gillyknits Sat 30-May-20 09:47:22

I’m with you there JenniferEccles! Quite tempted to leave GN after the last few days of political rallying.

merlotgran Sat 30-May-20 09:51:44

JaneRowena left GN a long time ago. Shame because we used to swap tips and ideas on the gardening thread and she used to post lovely pics of her garden designs.

We were going to meet up when work on the A11 was completed but then she disappeared.

I think her DH wanted to move so I wonder if she still reads Gransnet?

kittylester Sat 30-May-20 10:10:53

Hi Kate!

Tegan left a while ago.

I was wondering about janerowena a while ago!

Rufus2 Sat 30-May-20 10:13:09

jalima is atill here with a name change
Kittylester Would that be "Lemongrove" by any chance?
Similar style and IQ.! grin
If not, wot!?
OoRoo

Chewbacca Sat 30-May-20 10:22:25

Rufus no, not even close.

Chewbacca Sat 30-May-20 10:25:22

Bellanonna! Hello! When I started to read this thread I did consider asking where you were because I haven't seen you post. Lovely to see you! smile

Kate1949 Sat 30-May-20 10:41:51

Hi kitty smile

lemongrove Sat 30-May-20 12:27:32

Most of the names mentioned are still on GN under different names.?
Rufus ..Nobody could mistake you for anyone else, that’s for sure!
Chewbacca we miss you in the Argy.sad
