General Chat

I've actually been on here ALL DAY ..........lol Since I awoke.....and amazingly have managed to still cook, wash , bath and iron already for tomorrow. It's the longest time my pooter has been on. Normally I flit in and out see the same names etc help the odd bod here and there, read/start/answer a few threads ....... have done over the last 3 years ...... and I have to agree your all a jolly lovely bunch of people and I know none of you and it's great.......... regardless of clique's I do feel happy to join in where ever when ever who ever lol Much happiness debi

LOL That beats me Deborah that's a lot of time. I still enjoy looking in and adding like I am here but there is less to add to these days & so I don't hang around as much as I once did. Even with the cliques which were always here, I just may pop in look & just pop off again, not so hard to do for maybe you and me and many more longer members but I think it must be harder or off putting for new members, i hope that's not why there are so few new members joining the boards, for the General board to stay fresh we need a steady flow of new members or the place will stagnate.

Hi Jess I'm in a unique clique too, maybe we should start a club Ken xx

LOL Pat ..... it is a lotta time isn't it LOL Its a first for me too , hence the reason I thought I'd find out who was on here often. Also asked because I see the same names online at the same time I have popped in etc and I tend to vary my time here ( work & family commitments etc ) I agree, new members must be encouraged to join in as the boards do from time to time become same old and it is nerve wracking at first to either join in a thread or start one. Much happiness Debi

Actually Debi there was a thread put up by Lynda Pace not too long ago to encourage those who hadn't posted before it did get a few newbies posting on it, and Lynda & others answered every newbie so they would be welcomed, must try and get another done as it's a good way of breaking the ice for those who haven't joined in and may not know where and when to do so. Not always easy joining some threads, especially more personal ones. Pat x

Just the odd 5 minutes here and there.....not much at all ;-) but it is educational...look I learnt to wink xx

And LIE! as well I see, you are a naughty Lemon LOL ;-) Where did you learn U ? Pat x

Lady Lemon!!!!......... methinks..... oh oh my time's up! :-)

Tee he....just a wee fib Pat, and I learned to wink after my intended victim winked at me last nigh....so now I am ;-) ing all over the place xx

Hiya Pat:) I think we all do that sometimes - I can look at a thread and realise there's an ongoing joke or innuendo related to something that's happened or been discussed off the boards - doesn't mean a thing to me so I leave it alone. I also find that in the wee hours when it tends to be the same people about I feel a bit excluded so if I'm having a not sleeping phase I don't tend to come on very often. But I don't think anyone intends to shut anyone else out - it's all part of bonding with other people. Debi:) I've spent almost all day on here - er - once or twice:)

I tend to look in on GR probably about once a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. Mostly I feel invisible on this board, but I don't much care. Bev x

Thanks Heather, and I'm going to try the garlic! Fingers crossed. Bev x

Sometimes it is hard to join in a thread especially when it is on going. But I think if anyone joins a thread and feels ignored then persevere. Personally if anyone joined in a thread I was on, I may not notice immediatly but will go back and talk to them as soon as I do, but sometimes, people add and run if not noticed immediatly. So just butt in and someone will see you. Often on serious threads I feel overlooked, but don't take it personally...just work at it. XXXXX So if anyone new or old wants to talk Lemon just shout....I will not ignore anyone, but be prepared, I am not the brain of Britain xxx

Awwww Lemon you sweetie David..pleased I;m not the only one LOL. I promised myself NOT to be here today and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the fact Hubby's alarn has gone off an HOUR early..he's gone back to sleep and the children haven't moved either ...... so just till they get up I'll wonder around here and then that will be me lot LOL....wont it? will I be back later? am I now addicted? lol Much happiness Debi

on saturday i logged on at 9am and at 1.45am next morning i went to bed! that was not a normal day i may add and i did leave my seat to make meals (checking the screen in between looking for my hot matches!) and have nature calls. i do find myself at 6.30am doing a bit on my tree then at 6/7pm when i get home if no one else wants the p c i am there again doing stuff i couldnt get finished in the morning. when my other half rings to say he is on his way home, he does not say 'hello love, on my way' his first words are 'get off the bl***y p c. do you thing i need profession help yet? are ther any clinics i could book into? lol. tina x
