I think there are many people on GN who need to get a hobby.

🤣🤣

Starting with you V3. I completely agree.

Blimey. I'm sitting in my garden 🍷 admiring my afternoon's efforts, catching up with the friendly banter on here and for a moment there I wondered what I've done 😂

The mention of jumpers and bridges is very upsetting for some Rosie, including one poster on this thread. Can you not find another phrase?

NanaDana Sun 21-May-23 09:18:27

Just a passing thought which has helped me turn a potential negative into a strong positive.. I'm learning to actually be grateful for the unpleasant people who occasionally cross my path, because they show me a perfect example of who I don't want to be..

Agreed. And I don’t understand why it’s being used either, I don’t get it

Anniebach Sun 21-May-23 09:22:41

Thank you GSM

I definitely have no doubt that the terrifying car chase of 2 hours did not happen

Vanillasky Sun 21-May-23 09:24:03

Isn't there a saying, "I am the designer of my own catastrophe"?
We all are, including M & H, in what we say and do.

Rosie51 Sun 21-May-23 09:26:42

Germanshepherdsmum that was not my phrase and not one I'd ever use but one used by the person I've referred to who I criticised for using it at the time. I have asked for my last post to be deleted and won't use it again. I had no knowledge about the poster for whom this is very hurtful, and apologise unreservedly.

FannyCornforth Sun 21-May-23 09:29:33

Rosie can you explain what you meant please, as I honestly didn’t understand your usage of the words/ phrase.
PM me if you’d prefer.
Thank you smile

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 21-May-23 09:33:25

Sorry if I misunderstood Rosie. Sincere apologies.

Vanillasky Sun 21-May-23 09:40:21

Not your fault Rosie51, you didn't mean to say something hurtful on purpose. I am not the poster to whom GSM refers, but do understand.

Anyway, if anyone is in the slightest bit interested ...... talking of choosing one's own catastrophe, here's my thoughts.

I'm no expert in MH, and certainly no one knows how damaged Harry really is, but maybe he could have used his private suffering over Diana to help others improve the quality of their lives. I thought that was to be his aim with the MH project set up before he married Meghan? That pledge seems to have fizzled out somewhat. To be fair he does still try in this area, but it's all about his own feelings.

As an aside, my DH was a pal of Christopher Reeve who always said he refused to allow his disability determine how he lived his life. This was the start of celebrities offering to do good works from something bad in their lives, like Harry did with the Invictus Games, except Harry spends the other 51 weeks of the years dwelling on all the negatives, licking his wounds, bleating on about himself and erasing all the good. Someone with a true desire to help others has to become more selfless too.

I used a phrase months, maybe years ago, explained what I mean and apologised for any upset. I think Rosie51 likes to bring it up as often as she can thinks it shows me in a bad light.

I'm away to the other N&P threads, less danger there.

You can be really brave there.

Rosie51 Sun 21-May-23 09:47:17

volver you never did explain, in fact you refused to. It did show you in a bad light and that's why you refused to explain.

volver3 Sun 21-May-23 09:55:51

Rosie51 it was months - maybe years - ago. It is possible that you just missed the bit where I apologised for any upset?

No of course not, I must be in the wrong, of course. So you seem compelled to bring it up months later, into even completely unrelated threads, and in this case have caused even more upset and confusion.

End of thread , again

FannyCornforth Sun 21-May-23 10:25:34

Well that wasn’t very nice Jo

I’ve always been pleasant and decent to you, even pming you with my genuine condolences when you suffered a bereavement.

There really was no need for that.

I’ll remember to ignore you in future

FannyCornforth Sun 21-May-23 10:31:23

GagaJo Perhaps you haven’t noticed my comments to you, and the views that I hold.

Insinuating that I’m a ‘rabid right winger’ is wide off the mark - I’m a member of the Labour Party.

You have admitted yourself that you don’t pay much attention to what is said on here, and it’s evident

maddyone Sun 21-May-23 10:41:48

Just to explain (although I have no obligation to do so I know) that I left the thread yesterday, not as one poster suggested because it was too hot in the kitchen, but because I had to get ready and leave my hotel room by the required time, and yes, it was hot in there, but I was nowhere near a kitchen! We then went to visit my niece and we had lunch with her (stayed three hours) after which we drove home, a journey of some five hours.
Re a deleted post that was apparently directed at me, I did not see it, because I was attending the funeral of my father in law, which is why we were away from home. I was not going to mention that on any thread, but it seems it needs to be said. Thank you to those posters who have given me support.
I have not changed my opinion about the subject of this thread, and I will not be bullied off a thread, but I did have other reasons leave the thread on both days.
