Barbra, I think things have changed on here too, it's just not the same friendly place anymore but I have just renewed as there are some people I want to stay in touch with and now and then there are threads that interest me, when I have time to answer.

Hope you find a new place to make new friends and do your tree.

Best wishes,

Lizx

I don't take any notice if someone doesn't answer any of my posts Barbra, I just assume nobody else finds it interesting.

It isn't a competioin on here, as to who gets the most answers, well I don't look on it like that anyway :-D

You can still do your tree on here even though you don't want to use chat though, no need to go, but if you want to Good :Luck. :-D

Hope your brother gets better soon Barbra, of course you are worried and it will make you feel low. Longer brighter days are on the way, hope you will feel stronger soon

Hi Barbra I have been here a long time my self, yes the boards have changed & will change again as this site tends to go round in cycals. As for not many people talking to you, not many talk to me much of late but that's ok, People have other things going on in the real world just as I do, just as you probably do. When things settle down for them they will be back they always come back. Like in life you have good times & bad times & so the same goes for this site.I hope you don't but if you wish to go any way I wish you good luck.

PS I did not see you're last posting informing us about your brother while writting the above. I hope he will be ok we are thinking about you all.

Sorry to hear that Barbra.
Don't take the lack of posts personally, a lot of regulars don't seem to be posting at the moment.
Stick with it, I'm sure members will drift back when things lighten up.

:-D

So sorry to hear you're having such a bad time at the moment Barbara. I'm not surprised you're feeling down. GR Chat has been going through a bit of a rough period lately and a lot of members are not posting at the moment, but I'm sure things will pick up. As Lynda says, there's no need to go.

I do hope your brother eventually makes a full recovery, but I can understand what a worrying time it must be for you at the moment.

Remember it is half term (in some parts of the country it was last week) so many people will be off on breaks, with children and grandchildren

Barbra, sorry you are not feeling good at the moment, . unfortunately, things never stay the same, and are always moving and changing. Not just on this site but in life. I know it feels comfortable if things are always the same, but it just wont ever happen. Maybe it is the right time for you to move on too., as you say
:-)
I see alot of posts on here, people saying i,m going to leave, and all they want is a bit of reassurance that they still have friends on here.and they stay. Maybe you just need to know that. also.
Take care, Sue

oh Barbra - please don't go - obviously you're feeling down at the moment and that's when things can get out of proportion - I think your going to need us with what's going on in your life at the mo and you know we're all here for you - really we are <3 <3 <3

Hello Barbara, I don't think we have chatted before, but please don't take it personally. I am fairly new to GR and can see that some people do get lots of posts on their threads, but then they do seem to have lots to say and lots of threads. I personally think they make everyone (well most people very welcome) Perhaps if you join in a few threads in you will get to know more people. I am sorry about your brother it must be a very worrying time for you and maybe this is just adding to your worries. I have noticed some threads have lots of people viewing, but not too many commenting, maybe they are not too sure of what to say. Please pop in and say "hello" Take care.

I guess things have changed because once upon a time there were very few sites with message boards such as this. However, now we are a world rife with social media and chatting sites so people have naturally evolved - not necessarily for the better.
