General Chat

Please see below Pat x

Just a thought occuring to me after Big Shaz's comments on Rosalyn's thread. There have been many threads for the newbies on General Board & I have enjoyed adding a welcome message to newbies on them. Sometimes in our attempt to be all-inclusive we tend to forget those who for one reason or another haven’t been able to be around their computers as often as before I myself have been forced into computer exile a few times this year. Some oldies when they have returned haven’t felt so at ease, a lot of names they don’t recognise, things move on. I know some old members who have felt a little squeezed out & unsure of the reaction to them posting on threads. ALL should feel welcome so this thread is for anyone who is still around lurking lingering or nipping in whatever the oldie is doing we would love to see you all. Those not posting or not posting so much, take a moment to say hi here please. You may be very surprised who does remember you & who will also be very pleased to see you. ALL Welcome newbies oldies middlings everyone.lol Please don’t get angry, hurt, upset or anything else by this post. Thank you x Pat x

I've bent over and have looked below you Pat, but so far can only see fresh air - lol Jacqui (and old one) Must have just caught you posting! sorry

LOL Some people have very little patience ain't they? I was checking it one more time before I left it sitting here Jacqui x Pat x

LOL Well not sure if your as old as me but I suppose you could be considered in the middling to old catagory Mandy, judging by your membership number that is :-)))))))))))) Pat x

i been here 2 years in feb thats flown by,

Hello Pat and all the other member. As requested, just popping in to say hello and wish you all a very Happy Holiday season. From an 'old 'un'. Lol.

Hi Julie Ann yes time flies the saying use to be when you are having fun. To me time flies no matter what. Pat x

Hi Carol, Really good to see you :-))) Hope we see you over the holidays too. Have a great Christmas & New Year. Pat x

hiya pat, carol, and the others, this is from another owd un lol, take care allx

Hiya Sandra good to see you :-) Mandy that would cost you extra about £2 or £2.50 I think. So you kept your old number and saved dosh not bad I reckon. Pat x

Mandy, You still look very young to me. Are you sure your Mum knows you,re playing on the pooter? lol

reckon I am a middley and a newby now Pat, so hello to all the oldies....newbies and middleys XXXX

What a brilliant idea Pat, it would be lovely to 'see' some 'old' faces on here. I am sure that you are right and we oldies can get a bit intimidated by lots of chat from people we don't know. Even i get confused sometimes and I am on here most of the time. It must be even more confusing with the Christmas names, so welcome old friends (and new of course), sign in here. hello Carol and Sandra, good to 'see' you. Ann Glos (A very oldie!!! in more ways than one)

Hiya Middley Lemon lol. Hi Ann how are you? Thank you I do hope it may encourage some of our old board mates to post, I understood what Shaz meant and I am sure there are others who probably feel like she does, felt sad to think that can be happening, so I thought maybe this would be of help. It might encourage people to post again, even just a hello. Wish I didn't have to call longer serving members oldies don't know what else to call them :-( Pat x

I will be nudging this thread now and then, hopefully for people to spot it & add to it. I will eventually delete some of the nudges rather than clutter it the thread with them. Thank you to those who have added. Pat x

Hi Pat, What a nice idea. I don't post much. Not as articulate as some on here and find it difficult to find the right words sometimes (this must qualify me as an oldie) but spend a lot of time reading the threads. Thank you to everyone, old and new, for giving me so much entertainment. Jean x.

Hiya Jean :-))) None of us should feel we need to be expert at writing i'm rubbish at grammar & sometimes I get upset about my spelling errors. I think it's more important to post than worry too much about such things. As long as we are understood no one should stand in anyone else's judgement on the way we post. Pat x

Hi everyone, I am old in all senses of the word,lol A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all; I am saying that now because I may not be here much longer, I expect to move house this week (Fingers crossed) Carol I hope you still have yours crossed, still driving around in circles, lol The Birthday messages will still carry on in my absence. Take care everyone, June xx

Judging by my no I must be an oldie even feel it now Hello everybody Howardxx
