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?

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

A plant beginning with C?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 22:58:40

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.

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

I thought exactly the same, MerylStreep. ☹️

Good point, MerylStreep

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

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

Iam64 Fri 05-Jun-20 08:58:24

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.

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

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

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.

Maggiemaybe Fri 05-Jun-20 13:04:15

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.

Rufus2 Fri 05-Jun-20 13:06:45

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!

Blimey! ?

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

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

MerylStreep Fri 05-Jun-20 15:41:23

Rufus2
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?

MerylStreep Fri 05-Jun-20 15:43:34

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

Fennel Fri 05-Jun-20 15:51:57

Rufus I don't believe you're 90+.
Not even sure that you live in Australia?
I think you're an agent provocateur.

Calendargirl Fri 05-Jun-20 17:56:59

Rufus

It wasn’t me asking for a hint!

lemongrove Fri 05-Jun-20 18:58:49

Your message to me doesn’t make any sense Rufus
Perhaps you are really 90+ after all.

Fennel "Where do I begin?" No, I'm not going to launch into "Love Story"! You'd prefer Andy Williams
You're obviously a non-believer and I'm not a con-artist! I've been accused of being a few things during my career with GN, the latest being "saddoe" and "stirrer, but I never tell fibs! Honest! grin
Take one look and you'd say I don't look a day over 99'
Btw. 93 actually!
And I've been entreated to drop "OoRoo' several times so that goes to prove I'm "Down Under", (but not "Down and Out"!)
PS Hope you were joking! grin
Good Health wine wine wine
