Hi new here.. and finding my way

Welcome ?

I don’t think we ever feel old enough for this Cass. Welcome.

Well I thought it was time to find people my own age. Of course I forget that more important than age is outlook and attitude.

I hope I never become closed minded or unfeeling towards other people or people .
I hope that my outlook remains left of center and open to new ideas and attitudes.

I hope that my past can be an enrichment and not a place to hide in.

I hope that mine will always be an open heart not closed or cold.
I hope that I will always be able to embrace people for who they are and for the goodness they have inside,

In any case I know in my heart and mind Im not old enough for this yet.

Hello Cass, I am a youthful 35 year old, cunningly disguised in a somewhat creaking body, with grey/white hair and occasionally wear spectacles to conceal the eye bags! I would really love to wear vertiginous heels, but regrettably nowadays aim at comfort. What I am try to say is that whatever the age range, I, like the majority of those on this site who are in the upper age range, feel that I am young at heart. The diversity of members adds to the general interest, I think you will fit in well!

I do know what you mean, a few years ago I stood up to some teenagers who were tormenting swans in a local park..It was my son who stopped me saying 'mum, please youre not 18 anymore'. I forget until something hurts or I cant get my leg up somewhere I want to climb onto.

So Im not 18anymore and yes I do forget it sometimes.

Welcome cass. Just a reminder that not everyone on here is female but everyone is friendly!

Yes welcome indeed Cass64 Gransnet has its lively times and quiet ones but always something of interest. The book thread running now is really good with lots of different authors recommended ( and some not )
Hope to see more of your posts.

Honestly Cass, I think there's a lot more to talk about on GN other than lipsticks, babies and boyfriends.

Grandmas, are representative of the population per se, and not a homogeneous mass who all act in the same way, you only have to scan many of the threads on this site to gauge what posters are passionate about, I can guarantee it's not usually lipstick! Whilst there are a few threads that pertain to "beauty" make up, appearance etc. etc. I'd say they are thin on the ground. I still colour my hair, but that's incidental and not something that I feel the need to discuss in any great detail, what's to say on such a subject, not a lot!

Welcome to GN take your time to browse the various threads which are varied and hopefully you will find some that interest you.

Hi Cass ,I do dye my hair and wear make up every day ,have 5 GC from almost 18 down to 1 year old and am a kick in the pants off 70.Thats something about this site we are all different ,not better or worse than each other just different with a whole range of opinions.Enjoy .

Welcome - i hope you find some kindred spirits on here.

Thanks everyone, a lovely warm welcome , Im sure I will find my way around in the coming few days..

Welcome cass. I’m sure you’ll find topics that interest you. Happy chatting.

Welcome Cass. I'll just add to what has been said previously. Be careful not to post detailed information on the forum as it can be read by anyone including journalists. Hope you enjoy joining in.

Hello Cass64, I don’t dye my hair these days either! I’m sure you’ll soon settle in, there’s good company aplenty and many different views on things.

Hi Cass. I think of the lines on my face as a map of my life!
It looks as if I’ve travelled a bit.
Enjoy travelling round gransnet.

Hello Cass64 and welcome. Maybe drop into the Good Morning thread to start your day.

Hallo Cass64 and welcome look forward to chatting with you.

Hello Cass64 and welcome ?

Welcome Cass64. I'm relatively new too. On month now. Mornings are my usual time for GN starting with the morning thread.
Agree with Bluebell. I too get happy/annoyed/ cross/ loving, with it but couldn’t be without it.

Drop into Soop's Kitchen too. Ideal place to share highs and lows that come your way.

Good morning and welcome Cass64 lots of interesting chat and advice here, as GrannyGravy13 said, the good morning thread starts the day well. Ask away if you get stuck with anything.

Hi and welcome cass64 I'm new here too and there are some varied threads, some more interesting than others. Very friendly people and advice offered if needed too. Enjoy

Welcome, I hope you stick around as some regular posters seem to have disappeared.

Good morning and welcome to Gransnet Cass.
Have some and and explore the site.

Hi Cass I love my white hair and ‘laughter lines’ would never get rid of them I ve earned every one
