crimson

Thanks petallus

Folks if you think you are being personally attacked then you can report the post, rather than carry on scrapping.
You obviously have lots of fans absent so enough of that nonsense
jeni I am glad your boiler is at least trying - but calling yourself one?! I disapprove. There are enough people out there being rude about older women - we don't have to be rude about ourselves.

Jess & jeni I think that like Black Power and Gay Pride older people ought to seize back the language, name themselves ( as a group) and therefore be more in control!

I love that idea nanaej will you lead the march?

Oh yes of course.. done that before.. perhaps we have marched together before ..but never met!

I miss you all. I had to disconnect myself because it was the only way to stop trying to explain what I was trying to say and I was getting all wound up [and then I couldn't reply to anything]. I'm a complete billynomates, so I can't leave granset . I won't do it again because I've run [ran?] out of names that I like. My dear departed internet chum, Alan used to say to me 'Brave Heart Tegan' when I was being a scaredy cat about something [like the works Christmas dinner]. So, Tegan it is. crimson xxx

JessM Not necessarily fans but certainly friends, who are, of course, much nicer. Just slightly pissed off with a couple of Snoopy posters who think I am the Red Baron when I am making a real effort not to be controversial or impatient or dismissive, but a nice old woman.

Welcome back Tegan that is now! xx

Tegan So many will be pleased to see you back, as am I.

Lovely name - where does it come from? Sounds Celtic??

Lovely Tegan so glad you are back

You've made my day, a big one to you xxx

Would it be a good idea to revert to the original purpose of this thread and remind crimson that she is special and valued and that we should like to see her back posting again? Just a thought – given the title of the thread.

..and to you absent

Tegan - a rose by any other name........ welcome back.

absent - haven't you missed something a few posts back?

Welcome back Tegan/crimson

Well, nice old woman absent - wish I had half of your wit, grit, sensitivity and intelligence. Apropos of nothing, really. Just thought I'd mention it.

Happy to see you're back Tegan, Billy no mates no more , I f you get scared again there is a great Bolt Hole just a round the corner where you will find some friendly w elcoming faces.

Tegan - so lovely to see you back!

Tegan it good to see you, glad you came back

Tegan, good!

Ana No idea. But I would like to see crimson around again. As I see it, that's what this thread was – and is – for.

absent ? . Have you really not noticed she's back?

Which is what I meant, of course...
