I have lurked a lot, posted a bit.....met a few...but after nearly a year of semi lurking I have wonderous pictures of everyone in my mind. I know I’ll never meet you but there are some I’d really love to know....you’re my imaginary friends with lumps on! Thank you for making my life both brighter and lighter!

I’m 63, one Gc, one OH, three Dc. I’m retired from BBC, journalism, retail, education....from shopfloor to management. I campaign actively for chronic illnesses and common sense.

I’m lively, somewhat sardonic....well caustic really....and I have learned so much from lurking.

I would love to meet.....but I think I’d better keep my wonder clique private ? bet you won’t name yours!

Oh dear. I fear now that I'm going to spend the rest of my life wondering if I'm on Mamissimo's WLTM list. (Perhaps I need to get out more??)

had to laugh to myself because recently MawBroon posted a photo of herself and I actually said out loud "that's not Maw!!"..
I wonder how you visualised Maw farview

farview are you tiny and petite, very neat and rather stylish? and you live in a house with a lovely view from the porch?

Hello Mamissimo and yes, I know what you mean about feeling you'd get along well with some posters. I haven't met any but I have been messaged by a few and I am already very fond of them and tend to find myself nodding in agreement at their posts. If we met I know I'd like them. There are others who talk/write great posts, and even though we haven't met or written directly to each other, I think I'd have an affinity with them. There are only one or two so far that strike me as being a bit sour or not " projecting" the milk of human kindness.

Many of us so use the site have lots in common, not just grandchildren. It's a nice place. smile

There was a thread a few years ago where we all posted our pictures...

The only one I remember was jingl. She was the spitting image of my grammar school headmistress. grin

I remember Jingl's picture too, Maggiemaybe. She looked nothing like I had imagined. I never thought of her as an older woman although of course I knew that she was.

Oh Jalima! I hate being photographed so the only one I have of me was a publicity one taken at the publishers behest. I look like a simpering idiot in it. Be assured - I seldom simper. I expect you can guess that from my posts!

Jalima1108 Thu 20-Sept-18 09:52:00

Jane10 you looked very smiley, not simpering at all!
You looked lovely but, of course, you could be a GOW like me!
wink

Jane10 Thu 20-Sept-18 11:00:02

I most certainly am! In fact a VGOW!
