Gone a bit quiet now that the MNers have left. I'll have to think of some contentious subject that will liven the forum up, seem to have exhausted the leggings issue.
Just wanted to pop by to say thank you for having us. I think I spend too much time on MN anyway so am unlikely to add being a GN regular to the mix, but it was very kind of you all to be so welcoming. Maybe I'll be back in 25 years or so (as my eldest is 5 I expect it will be that long before I qualify!) but until then, or next MN downtime, cheerio!
I find on MN, that if people are rude, they get told to wind their neck in and posts are reported. It is rare for personal comments to be left undeleted.
Nah Nellie, you were spring chickens my mum and I can add another twelve years to that combination. Between the birth of my grandmother and the birth of my first child are (takes off socks to count..) 108 years.
Ceiling my DD had baby no 1 when she was 33. I had baby no 1 when I was 29. That was late for my Generation. You run out of grand parents fast like that.
Chippingin Interesting! I think we do live life at a calmer pace over here. I have lurked on MN occasionally.
It might well be that those on MN who are 30 something's have spent much more of their lives in the internet age than we have. Living more "public" lives in social Media does not come so easily to us.
However there is a lot of fun and silliness on GN and generally we are very supportive. I did find MN at times unnecessarily confrontational. (rude) There is a core group of Gn addicts here who a have been regular posters in the nearly three years I have been a member. maybe being a much smaller group we get to know individuals better.
I certainly don't intend to even join MN I can waste quite enough time on GN as it is. I hope you refugees come back to see us. you might want to join us one day.
