Aren't gransnetters nice!

GNetters - salt of the earth. A pleasure with whom to do business!

DD has been called. 'gobby' on more than one occasion, and it's true she is !!

Sorry to hear about your FiL silverfish.

I think I'll call you gobby because I quite like it sometimes! A bit of character doesn't go amiss as long as there's no nastiness.

I'm with you Galen. Wasn't that a diatribe in Jane Austen. Something from o levels.
Sorry for your loss Silverfish and yes please change your name as I have horrid memories of a maid's room toilet in Paris when I was an impoverished student.

Condolences Silverfish.

Wot! No pedants?[chad] emoticon

I can live with nice! - it all depends on context (this is not a high school essay!) and the sentiment behind it.

I think Gnetters can be very nice indeed, especially when someone has a problem.

Sorry to hear about FIL silverfish.

Nice? Meaning neat and particular, as in ' she was nice in her ways'

Condolences, Silverfish, that must have been a shock as it was so quick (but sometimes I think better than years of being ill and unable to cope).

When the sun is shining it makes people nicer I think!

Sometimes a bit of pleasant boredom on the posts is, well - nice.

and [hug] for the little silver one.

Ok, you are all nice, I don't like that word but it sums up a lot that other words don't.
We all have different facets to our personality, we can all be 'nice' and otherwise, that's what makes the world the way it is. Be a funny old world if we were all the same. x

Thank you all for your kind words, MIL died 3 years ago with cancer and he nursed her through it, she rapidly declined but he has gone so quickly, 6 weeks ago he was fine. He has 3 family left and 5 grandkids I haven't seen them yet just talked on phone so I can only imagine they will be in a state.

Sorry for your loss Silver, is there a MIL? if so how is she taking it?

Why wouldn't anyone be nice to you?

You are ALRIGHT!!

My condolences too Silverfish

thank you kitty, didn't think anyone would be kind to me today

Thank you Ninathenana. x

I can see using nice in essays etc shows lack of imagination but I am flattered to be called nice and I would hate to be called confrontational or any of your choices silverfish.

I'm sorry to here about your fil and, even if it was a release, someone's presence is always missed

Condolences silverfish

My English teacher instilled in us 'there is always a better word to use than nice' I do try to avoid the word but would rather be called that than nasty
I agree with absent.

Happy day everyone too, not so happy for me as FIL died on Friday but it was a release as he was very ill.
I don't like being called nice as its such a bland word at school we were penalised for using 'nice' in essays, teachers said it showed lack of imagination.
Would rather be called confrontational/aggressive/gobby etc (but with a heart of gold). maybe I should change name to goldfish.

I don't mind being called nice, during my lfe and career I've been called a lot worse. I find all you Gransnetters wonderful people and add my comments and advice where I think it's appropriate and useful. I often have a chuckle at what is going on. You brighten my day. Happy Sunday everyone.

Bring it on, Im tired of the boredom on these posts sometimes.

I think absent has summed it up the best - a true reflection of life.

Well this is your lucky day then Silver, I am sure there will be along to settle your hearts desire !

Sorry I don't like to be called 'nice', sounds sarcastic.
I too have had some welcome advice on these posts and always say thank you to those giving advice, but surely we are here for stimulated debate, that's why I sometimes give honest opinions which are not always liked by some but I respect honesty.
So give me an angry debate any day to shake up the brain cells than nicey nice
