Hello

{shock]

oops was playing around. Dud not men to post anything!

I agree about the need for a chat room.
grannet powers-that-be, can you do this for us, please?

Oops! Meant gransnet.

Thanks JosieGransnet.

Although we can, and do, chat anywhere in the forums, if we keep them fairly subject specific then we can look at the forum topics, choose what interests us and go to it knowing that info, advice and comments will be relevant.

It's tempting sometimes to go off at a tangent, taking the thread way off subject. I've deleted several of my comments at the preview stage because they were not relevant to the original question at the start of the thread.

On a chat page we can just reply to the last few remarks, as we do in conversation, and it doesn't matter where it goes - it's just enjoyable! And you get immediate replies as you're talking to those online at that moment.
Real chat.

What do you all think?

Sorry JosieG, I forgot to start a new thread as you suggested.
Can't face typing it again - can you do something with it, please? I assume you are super-computer-literate and very whizzy at this sort of thing!

Crimson, just click on the "Private message" tab to the right of the lilac coloured bar where the members name is, type your message and send it.

I think having a general chat page would be really good idea! The 'idle chit-chat' little thread sort of disappeared, and it was good, because people were putting in their two-penn'orth as the chat ran on. It was really good, I think. It's important to keep the original forums though.

nanapippa you may notice some people's profile name's are in blue, that is because they have gone to My Gransnet found at the top of the page on the right hand corner and completed their profile (well as much as they wish to). Towards the end of the page before you save there is a question that asks should we make your page visible. You need to click on Visible to all Gransnetters and then people can send you messages. If they haven't saved at the end of their profile you won't be able to contact them until they do too.

Well that thread went awol You can see I don't have enough to fill my time, besides phoning doctors and taking my mother shopping etc etc. Caring for my elderly unwell mother on weekends does give me time on my hands, but at least I am going to a party tonight, I know I will enjoy it.

Hi Daisymay, I just joined Gransnet and saw your post. I don't know if you're still active here or even a member but here's hoping. I'm Jonna 56 year old granny from Sweden and also an amputee, both legs at the hip since I was two years old so thi is the only life I've ever known. Hope you'd like to get in touch some time. Best wishes Jonna

Hi Jonna, welcome to gransnet . I've never been to Sweden but have have had neighbours who were Swedish, very friendly folks.

Hope you enjoy this friendly forum

Welcome all the new Grans ??

There is a "Good morning" thread each day which is just a chat, also a "New to gransnett" forum both can be found under Forums - active.

We are a friendly lot here at GN, even though the Political and Royal Family threads can get heated at times!!!!

There is always a friend at the keyboard to chat with.

Must get the proper specs out just realised this thread is ancient lol!!!!
