Well this focus on 'Lurkers' seems to be having the desired outcome with lots of people posting for the first time. Now I suggest you new posters all trawl through a few of the other threads and see where you can make a comment.

Hi :-D

Longtime lurker, love this forum.

Hello! Love to read everyone’s comments but hardly ever add anything myself!

Hello , I am a longtime lurker, love popping in occasionally to read all the fab posts.

I'm really not put off or upset by any criticism against the "Ugly American" by a Gransnetter or anyone else for that matter. No matter where I've travelled, whether at home or abroad, I cringe when I see someone from the United States behaving poorly. As for Halloween, I've never really enjoyed it. I'm glad that other people love to dress up in costumes, but I'm not one of them.

long time lurker here ready to start posting more though!

Ramblingrose22 I live just outside Seattle in Kirkland, WA where most of those who contracted the virus lived in a health care facility. They were transported to the nearest hospital where several of them died. I think the staff at this particular health care facility behaved incompetently and waited too long before taking them to the hospital. Our life here has been impacted significantly. I belong to a ladies' group that meets monthly for lunch on the second Wednesday---cancelled. My husband and I attend a sporting group dinner on the third--cancelled. I'm a little afraid to sneeze or cough without alarming others.

I'm also a Lurker, and like some of the others who have posted I am also a daily visitor and read lots but this is the first time that I've plucked up the courage to post and I'm so glad to see so many others.
Hi everyone

I love the community feel and feeling less alone in worries and life in general when reading about people feeling very similarly

I never realised I was a Lurker (at first I thought that was a dog but I believe that is Lurcher, then I thought it was like a stalker!) I am more likely to read than post but here is my first post; Hallo all!

Hello all, sorry to be lurker but I do love reading your posts. I have learned lots from you, so thank you!

I've posted but not recently. I am definitely Lurker material!

Good afternoon. I'm a lurker and have been for a year or more. Lurking is one of those words I try to use from time to time as for some reason it always makes me smile. Not that you can use it very often! I love words.

Great way to give people the confidence to share their opinions!! I have been a lurker.... that is till now!!
