I feel like I have met a whole lot of new friends from all over the country (and further afield). I enjoy browsing the chat while I have my morning coffee!

It can be company on your dark days it’s funny and supportive and hilarious when arguments start! Let’s face it we have all been on house arrest it’s a break from your partner if on your own it’s a godsend.

*BlueSky*- I assume you're being ironic regarding 'letting off steam'?!

Aveline I try to be charitable, don’t know otherwise the reason behind some replies!

Glad you've joined grandmajet to keep you occupied, albeit at a weird time.
Like you I enjoy humour and laughs, but also commiserating and empathising with others. Praise, encouragement and advice is nice too in practical threads like gardening, cookery or decorating. I might be strange but I enjoy analysing writing styles as well.

I like the book threads best, I dip in and out of things, but usually leave when things get nasty, which they do.
Lots of kind, wise people, lots of humour, and a sense of empathy

Not being like Facebook and Twitter and not being infected with trolls.

We can let off steam with nasty/sarcastic/unnecessary comments. Then we can be sympathetic and caring like an old friend. I like the mixture!

I’ve been on here about a month now, driven by lockdown and ill health. I’ve found places to read and cautiously enter into serious discussion, places to offer sympathy or advice when asked for, places just to laugh and enjoy others’ great sense of humour, and have dared to start a few threads, hoping to amuse and/or challenge others.
What do you love/hate most about this place?
