General Chat

now see....I have never understood that Chrisie......I would never have dreamed of chatting away on serious Genealogy boards......for one thing it would lose the information very quickly on to another page. We are forever being told that chat is for chat boards and genealogy is for the others......so why should one be able to chat away on a trying to find or genealogy board......it always seemed like a double standard to me.

and I guess I have to say maybe I am a little serious for my age

which is much lower than anybody else here of course ! :-)

Maybe they dont want to Chrisiex or like me still think they are too much of a novice to offer advice.



Do you mean pram Suesue or bathchair????? ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)


From Dublin and Manchester Uggers?

Oh speaking for myself only...I did use the help boards when I first joined...then I discovered the chat board..and if i needed help i'd get it here...with added banter and laughs. There was a time when I tried to help someone on what was then tips..but by the time I got the info about 6 people had posted ahead of me so I figured it was a waste of my time...so I limited my help to others on occasional posts on here where I felt more useful x

Oh Susan ( and you won' t mind if I don' t try to type out your numbers ! ) I have seen lots of 'chat' with people asking for help on the 'help' boards , they are people too after all :-)

We used to chat on TIPS quite happily but now the format has changed so drastically I can't see any other board that would suit the other way of asking for help than posting on Gen.

EDIT: shut it Hayley :-P :-P :-P

If youre chatting about where would you look for this that or other or can anyone suggest then Chat is a good place as youre not asking for info help to be found but where you could look.......

Err Chrissie, you cannot be lower in age than Hayley, it just isn't allowed. You haven't experienced one of her flounces yet... :-D

nah...you are wrong there


Hayley is the youngest.......she never ages...... :-D


That is what I mean.....why should there be idle chit chat on genealogy boards .......In my opinion it makes the threads too long and the answers harder to find......so until there is no chat on genealogy boards (isn't that why the chat boards were put on here)........there will be no answer and I will feel peeved every time I see someone chatting away on them.......If they want to chat....they should come on the chat board.........but better than that.......I will stop moaning about them, if they stop moaning about us :-)

Muffy how do you go on with all them Smiths? Must be a right nightmare. :-S

You creep Susan :-0 :-0

is it a flounce like around the bottom of her bed, and how do I get to experience it ?

I'm thinking it might be best experienced from the underside of the bed to get the full effect ....... should I guess that Hayley never has dust bunnies ?

Scuse me ...I AM YOUNGER THAN HAYLEY :-( :-( :-( :-(

*blushes*

*wanders off feeling better having got that out*

:-D

ooops double post :-0

I used to help and get help on the research board when I first joined and am indebted to some of the help I received but I stopped feeling comfortable on there years ago and stopped using them. Now I don't want to and use other sites for research. But I would sometimes,like Susanwithnumbers, like to ask more informally on the chat board and might sometime :-D

...and i can only repeat what Muffy said, I first posted on tips and almost instantly got results that I couldn't see for looking myself, but discovered chat. I also tried to return the help but was too slow in comparison, so limit myself to occasionally helping someone on general chat instead.

My Smiths are the curse of my life Hayley..some lines are surprisingly easy...some almost impossible to separate...but I'm ever so proud to be one...from just about every branch in my blinking tree lololol.

So am I and half the board, Muffy....

No Hayley, from Eire and London so we're not long lost relations after all. See, a genealogical thing solved on chat like the old days......

ouch...she's going to REALLY tell you off now !!!

*opens the popcorn* :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Chrissie, no they are major flounces, doors slamming, swishing hair and everything! Scary stuff :-D
