I am beginning to despair of Gransnet.......

No, no, no! I have been incredibly impressed with the quality of discussion from articulate and intelligent women, and am full of admiration. And there's always someone to lighten the atmosphere with wit and humour, and a glass... Love it.

Very succinct JessM

Exactly how I feel about gransnet JessM, brilliant post, thank you.

Yep, that's a good way of putting it, jess. You often have a way with words.

Thanks Jess - summed it up perfectly, and I also agree with grannyact, it's very strange how GN takes hold of you and sucks you in

grannyactivist i still can'twork out what a troll is-on my shopping list it goes also as rswipe

Just got that, Stansgran! I was picking it up as rs wipe...then I realised! Good description....

Can we just stop this thread?

Hello Jangly
I'm with you! Let's wake up, shake up and not take things so seriously. Lord knows we all have various bits of poo-poo to deal with, and sense of humour and irony is "what I would call" Vital! Anyone who wants to get on to a pulpit and preach is welcome and has every right, but I think we need to get a bit of balance here...........(as the actress said to the bishop). I still love the joke about the guy going on to a website and needing to put in an eight character password, which he did......Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
Plans for tomorrow? Monday phone calls and bill paying, walk and try to learn music for Opera Chorus simultaneously, AgeUK Day Centre, grandson to playground,
do nothing then glass wine. Stick in a few plants and prepare leftovers. Another glass wine, and dinner with Jon Snow and husband. Check I have place on Drama course and phone friends. Off to bed with Jodi Picoult. She hits the spot.
That's my day. What's yours?

Goodness elizabethjoan Jon Snow and husband – that's interesting. Off to bed with Jodi Picoult that's tantalising too.

Baggy...let's be friends! I live in the North and love it. Fab spot, great people about, and lots of beautiful places. Maybe a bunch of us could arrange a physical meetup sometime? Specially over the winter when the dreaded gloom and doom tries to step through the door. (Boo! Hiss! Go away!)

Absentgrana.....oh yes we have some excellent dinners, though sometimes the tie gets a bit messy. As for Jodi...I will say nothing, except that she really touches me.

Cheers to you too, elizabethjoan! Shame that you're feeling so grouchy. I hope you recover your equanimity soon.

Well, come on! What is a troll? Seen it mentioned a few times on GN but the only ones I know live under the rickety rackety bridge. confused

According to Wikipedia a troll is:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Hope that makes sense Twobabes

That figures - Thanks YG.

At last thank you
