It's lurkers' week! Join in to win!

I lurk more than post. Always a bit nervous of voicing my opinion and nearly always regret it when I do. Mid 50's, Grandmother of 5, Mother of 3, Full time work and completely exhausted most of the time. WI member and I love crafts. Married for 36 years this year - together for 40.

I love reading the threads on gransnet but have never been brave enough to post anything.

Me neither, kind of feel like I'm writing to myself.
Also have to say I find it a bit clichy, they all seem to know each other.

I lurk too - every day - I look forward to seeing the topics. I have posted a couple of times but I am hesitant to do this as some members can be a little ‘ sharp’ in their replies at times. Absolutely fine with different opinions but I think we should always be supportive ie. be kind !!!

Great idea! Welcome to all new Grans posting for the first time.

Brilliant idea...I am somewhere between a lurker and a poster...I read many more than I comment on!

I lurked for a long time then asked for help with a problem and received so many kindly replies that I have dared to comment a good few times since,

Hi. I’m a bit of a lurker. I don’t normally post although I do comment if I agree/disagree strongly with a particular comment. I love the advice sections that gransnet have about health, and issues with daughters in law or being long distance grandparents. I joined in anticipation of being a granny and have now a gorgeous little granddaughter. I visit the site every day when the email comes in. I love this site.

I login most days to 'lurk' following the links that come in the emails and have occasionally posted if I think I have a valid contribution to make.

I’m a lurker and have been for some time but never posted any thing to shy lol

I am also a lurker..love reading the posts,and have commented on a couple..

Hello fellow GN's. I am also a lurked here, with infrequent contributions.

It was disappointing and offputting that someone was rather rude in response to an earlier posting I made, but pleasing that the majority here are friendly.

Proud nana to DGD

I am mainly a reader almost every day (does that make me a lurker?) but I do post now and then and started two or three threads. I love the Good Morning thread most of all but it is often afternoon when I get on.

Recent threads I really enjoyed were the ones about favourite songs from primary school and favourite authors when we were young.

Pretty soon after joining GN I won a book for the monthly book club, a hardback no less which was quite a thrill!!

So Hello to all newbies and enjoy this site.

I'm definitely a Lurker look at GN every day some of the topics are very interesting sometimes things get a bit heated but we all have different options.

I am not a lurker and would like to welcome all the new posters.
Mick's "Good morning..." threads and Soop's kitchen are usually safe havens.
I can never keep up with all the names and who is doing what so I try to send a virtual ((hug)) to everyone regularly.

I have posted several times but am a lurker most days . Sorry you are feeling down KVW27 hope gransnet can cheer you up or you can private message someone if that helps .heres some flowers to help to cheer you up ?

I’m definitely a lurker, this is my first post. I have 2 grandsons, born 3 weeks apart to my 2 daughters. They’re 1 1/2 and I see and look after them both a lot, which is wonderful. I’d love to win a prize, as for various reasons I’ve been feeling a bit down lately and don’t feel I can talk to anyone about it.

Not a lurker and I rather love Gransnet. Interesting to see all the different points of view and lovely to see people helping each other if they have problems they're posting about. There are the occasional hissy fits too, just to ramp things up a bit - mostly because someone has taken something the wrong way. Without being able to see each other, it's relatively easy for things to get out of hand now and then!

I’m a lurker. Read the posts every day and find comments very interesting. I have 9 grandchildren aged 5 - 22. I think I commented on a post once, months ago.

I'm mostly a lurker but I have started to post a bit this week. Hello to everyone!

Long time lurker here. I have posted twice I think but read GN everyday. Much friendlier that MN.

I 'lurk' in the main but have posted occasionally to 'join in' on a thread and also to ask for advice. I often feel that I've nothing of 'real' interest to offer to others and that my daily life is now quite mundane- but I'm happy with it!

I’m a lurker but I have replied once or twice. I love the different opinions and I am fascinated how we all perceive things differently.

Am new here, first record please please me by the beatles,
