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?

Nobody could mistake you for anyone else
You're probably right! I tried it once; even changed sex to escape those pesky misandrists, but I was soon sussed out! hmm
I believe a cookie is placed on the device you join up with and no matter what disguise you adopt , the cookie gives you away!
And I didn't sign off with OoRoo! Toodle pip, I think! grin

So Jalima you are still here. I wonder where?
GG keeps popping back and forth.
I have missed MOnica - so sensible and reasonable.
Nice to have Elizabeth1 back with us again.

Bellanonna Sat 30-May-20 16:57:59

Ah, thank you Chewy! I’m still around x

Bellanonna Sat 30-May-20 17:04:41

*KatyK”, so glad you’re still here! I will look out for your new name. I find it hard to believe you were ticked off for anything. You always write pleasant and supportive posts. I guess some GNs will pick on anything. Nice to see you!

seacliff Sat 30-May-20 18:24:58

Oh I didn't know Jalima was still here, one of the people I worried about, likewise KatyK. It's sad when they disappear, as you think the worst could have happened, and we may never know in some cases. I do hope MOnica is OK. Gabriella had not long returned, after a break, so for her to be gone again is a surprise. Again, best wishes to her.

There are obviously those "in the know" here, who I presume have been pm'd the new names in some cases.

Kate1949 Sat 30-May-20 18:26:06

Oh how kind. Thank you Bella . Right back at you as they say! I think I'm a bit over sensitive or was caught on a bad day perhaps. I still enjoy GN. I'll lurk and read mostly.

Do people get banned on here?
I can’t imagine they do as it’s all so nice & calm.

I have problems enough remembering names of friends I’ve known since childhood. Just get the hang of what a person is like without ever having seen them and they go and change their name. I’m too thick to keep up.

Rufus no, not even close
Chewbacca Got it! By Jove he's got it! grin
Looking for GreatNan's material suddenly noticed in the threads.

You and me both NfkDumpling smile

Calendergirl to find when anyone last posted (in their old name) type their user name into the search box and all their posts will come up.
Then you need to switch from relevance to date.
I still can't work out what Jalima's new name is - can someone give me a hint?

GGumteenth Thu 04-Jun-20 17:47:19

I thought GGumteenth might be GracesGranMk or even Gonegirl ?

I thought it was so obvious that I didn't need to tell you. I wasn't hiding that's for sure. I think it needed a capital U as in GGUmteenth. I got fed up with the MK2,MK3, etc.

Chewbacca Thu 04-Jun-20 18:25:06

Fennel think of a plant.

NotSpaghetti Thu 04-Jun-20 18:51:46

Someone mentioned Iam64 - I'm sure she was posting this week.

Maggiemaybe Thu 04-Jun-20 19:04:10

Yes, Iam was on the Store Cupboard Meals thread on Friday. smile

Marydoll Thu 04-Jun-20 19:06:00

She was also in the Lockdown Gang, this week.

Pantglas2 Thu 04-Jun-20 19:11:57

I didn’t know GGUMTEENTH was GracesGranMark? Why do folks do that - go and come back with a name change? What’s to be gained exactly?

The only reason I’m Pantglas2 is because GN went down once and I couldn’t get back in! Perhaps they didn’t want me?.

mumofmadboys Thu 04-Jun-20 19:14:21

Does anyone know if MOnica is ok? She doesn't seem to have posted for ages. Hope you are well MOnica if you are reading this

H1954 Thu 04-Jun-20 19:22:05

I've not seen a post or contact moment from Lucy127 lately. We did exchange a couple of PM at one point but there's been nothing for a while. Has anyone else seen anything from Lucy127?

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

Thanks Chewbacca - I had my suspicions!

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.

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

you your

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
