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?

It's only important to the saddoes who have nothing better to do.

What don't you understand about. SOME POSTERS WANT TO BE PRIVATE. And yes I'm shouting.
Just butt out and leave it be.
I'm beginning to see what others have said about you. You love a bit of stirring, don't you?

MissAdventure Fri 05-Jun-20 15:37:34

Why is it so important to know?
Name changes are often done because someone wants to remain anonymous.

Rufus2 Fri 05-Jun-20 15:32:03

Blimey!
No! I've been told it's not you Lemongrove
Also that's she's got immaculate taste and and speaks proper like! Sorry! Keep trying!
Maybe that little song will entice her out? grin

Blimey! ?

All together now! grin

Ah! Sweet mystery of life
At last I've found thee
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all;
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning

The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall!
For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking,
And 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living

For it is love alone that rules for aye!
Love, and love alone, the world is seeking,
For 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living
For it is love alone that rules for aye!

Jingl managed to out herself by mistake last time, and whoosh, she was gone! I do miss her pithy comments, I'm hoping she falls out with whatever group she's with now and comes back to us.

Iam64 Fri 05-Jun-20 12:47:15

You make a kind point Marydoll. I do remember though, Jingles in her various incarnations seemed to enjoy teasing to the point that sometimes, even I recognised her.

Marydoll Fri 05-Jun-20 12:44:08

That's not fair outing someone, when you don't know their reasons for changing their name.
It's fine if they are happy to reveal their new name, but otherwise, it's no-one's business. sad

Rufus2 Fri 05-Jun-20 12:36:35

can someone give me a hint?
Calendergirl I've done it ! smile Easy, but no hints; I'll leave it to your feminine intuition and "watch" you scratch your heads, or your bums, or wherever you keep it! grin

I'm confused about the name changes, though I did suspect that GGgumteenth was a reincarnation, I hadn't worked out who.

I also miss wheni'm64 - she disappeared quite some time ago. Her posts were always interesting, I chose my username before I to to 'know' her on here.

Thanks for the tip. I tried finding MOnica’s last post using it, but was unsuccessful.

merlotgran Fri 05-Jun-20 00:00:07

Good point, MerylStreep

It's the eagle eyed 'reporters' who upset the apple cart.

Marydoll Thu 04-Jun-20 23:53:34

I thought exactly the same, MerylStreep. ☹️

MerylStreep Thu 04-Jun-20 22:58:40

What if Jalima has been banned as jingle was and crept back as she did as Gonegirl. And just because of people's curiosity her cover is blown. Would you happy then?
Think about it. It's not a game.

GGumteenth Thu 04-Jun-20 22:41:08

I know I’ve asked you questions under GracesGran about apartments etc so know now not to ask same questions again!

Ask away Pantglas2. I moved to an over 60s flat in January and I love it. They actually describe them as over 55s but you need an over 60 with you is you are that young smile I even managed to get a new kitchen in before lockdown!

MerylStreep Thu 04-Jun-20 22:05:29

Has it crossed anyone's mind that people don't change their username just for the fun of it.
Some posters have inadvertently given out personnel information that would lead them to be recognised and they don't want to be.
Don't forget this is not a private site Posts have been known to appear on FB.
If posters want to be private: let them be.

Bathsheba Thu 04-Jun-20 21:44:58

Oh I didn't realise that was Jalima!!! I thought she (the new name) had been around forever, but now I come to think of it, probably not.

seacliff Thu 04-Jun-20 20:44:35

Thankyou very much Fennel. I had to look it up to double check it definitely was a plant. Can relax now.

Pantglas2 Thu 04-Jun-20 20:19:08

Thanks for enlightening me GGUMTEENTH! I know I’ve asked you questions under GracesGran about apartments etc so know now not to ask same questions again! Let’s hope you stay as you are for awhile?

Fennel Thu 04-Jun-20 20:14:28

A plant beginning with C?

seacliff Thu 04-Jun-20 20:07:11

Oh dear my head hurts, trying to work this all out. So,

Gracesgran is now GGumteenth

KatyK is now Kate1949

Jalima is now a plant, not Bluebelle , mmm?

So Gabriella and MOnica are still missing

GGumteenth Thu 04-Jun-20 19:38:11

you your

GGumteenth Thu 04-Jun-20 19:37:52

Pantglas I am here and I had explained above. As for you why do folks question, when I go, I go completely because I may not return so when you come back you have to sign up again using another name. It's how the system works.

Fennel Thu 04-Jun-20 19:24:44

Thanks Chewbacca - I had my suspicions!
