Good Morning Thursday 26th August 2021

Blimey, what is WRONG with people? Why on earth would anyone want to send our lovely Marydoll unkind messages? Just what do they hope to achieve? Speaks volumes about the person sending the message; how sad that they feel the need to put their uncharitable thoughts in print. Marydoll you are one of the most popular, kind and uncontroversial GN members. Please don't let someone's unkind comments stop you from posting - there are many, many Members who hold you in very high regard. Please reconsider your decision to leave - stuff the unkind comment and treat it with the contempt it deserves.

I completely agree with Curleywhirly’s post.
I haven’t noticed any nasty comments on this thread but then they weren’t directed at me and I think that if two intelligent, and interesting posters felt they were being got at, then they probably were.

I hope that both of you don’t make the break permanent. ??

Sorry haven't read all the posts of today or previous days, so don't know what has been said to Grandmafrench to make her want to leave, but my sentiments above are directed to her too. Don't let the b*ggers grind you down.

I have stopped posting recently various reasons marydoll don't let nasty people win,I didn't realise grandmafrench had stopped posting I found her very helpful and car ing ??to you both

Marydoll Please reconsider and return.Those who send nasty PM do not deserve to win.Everyone is entitled to an opinion but why be nasty with their reply.You have such a great outlook on life and lift the spirits of many. What little minds some people have in wanting to cause such upset.xx

Marydoll - so sorry to hear you have had unpleasant PMs.
Please don't let it get you down, you are worth more than that. I love your posts and miss them. However, the final decision is yours but I do hope you will return when you are ready. With all good wishes, particularly concerning your health problems.

Marydoll please don’t leave - you almost lead this thread. I will miss you telling us all about your precious Dollie. Can GNHQ not id and delete the emails of nasty posters?

Marydoll
I echo everyone else who is supporting you. If all this unpleasantness is related to your help and kindness to Phoenix please know that it's not worth thinking about. Stay strong ?

Thank all for your kindness and PMs. Obviously I don't want to elaborate on what has been happening in the background, and I need to move on in order to quickly restore the equilibrium on Mick's thread.

This has always been Mick's gentle thread, a safe place, from the more robust areas of GN.
I sincerely hope we can get back to that gentle start to the day, when we always started with, Good morning, Mick and all who follow or words to that effect.

I haven't said I was leaving GN, but I do need to take a step back from this thread for a few weeks at least, in the hope that things settle down.

There are some lovely people on GN, thank you all. I'm still away from home, but I will try and reply to everyone, when I get back. X

Just pausing for breath to post that I’ve arrived safely at DH’s and am so pleased to be here even though I can’t remember where things are in the kitchen!
Thank you for all the safe travel messages. I’ll write in detail in tomorrow’s GM thread. Goodnight, all! ?

Pleased you’re safe Ashcombe party ?…maybe tomorrow! X

First and last time of posting on this thread ,I'm heart broken to think marydoll,granmafrench and even gillibob won't be posting on this thread again .you will never know how much you have helped me cope with covid,with an extremely vulnerable husband,helping my son with the loss of his wife due to cancer ,with 3 x young children 2 years ago and every morning the highlight of my day has been the good morning thread ,well I won't be bothering anymore to read it ,but I do get where your coming from ,it's such a darn shame .
