Time for me to go

Just wanted to say that I will no longer be posting on these forums as I have decided they are not for me, for one reason or another.

So, I'm not doing a flounce, lol, just in case anyone actually notices.

I've decided I need to find somewhere else which is maybe more interactive. Maybe something a bit smaller and more local?

So, I wish you and the site all the best.

That's cheating, jane - this thread is three days old!

Pollengran Fri 09-Sept-16 22:45:23

No chance grin

I'm currently the last poster on four threads including this one.
I claim the title of Chief Gransnet Thread Killer.

Not sure why posters imagine they have killed a thread... As others say, threads have a shelf life that's all.
Like this one.

Stupid question, but why did the OP tell us she was going? Why not just disappear?

(Stands by to be banned or ostracised forever more!)

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 06-Sept-16 12:32:03

In fact, it's "time for me to go".

For now.

I'll be back....!

I need to throw this mini iPad out of the window and go and do something more productive.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 06-Sept-16 12:27:54

Was it me put you down?

Whilst there are some posters on Gransnet that I don't agree with, I generally find that people are much nicer and more friendly than on Facebook or other online forums. This also seems to be the only place where people give advice on serious personal issues. I have also been put down once on here and a couple of times seemed to end a thread but no-one has been rude like they can be on FB.

Perhaps why DH likes it (carborundum being a combination of two proper words which are materials used for grinding)

Vox nihili as Cicero would say - or was that Asterix?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 06-Sept-16 10:10:13

If my DH came across the word 'carborundum', he would think it was something to do with mechanical engineering. As would I.

Jalima Tue 06-Sept-16 09:52:23

Only DH's version is 'Illegitimi non carborundum'

Never to be found in any old writings of Cicero, Caesar, Virgil etc grin

Jalima Tue 06-Sept-16 09:48:10

I have heard both terms used by DH grin

Keep smiling through smile

That's a quote by Margaret Atwood - googled it.
