I can picture you now...?

I most certainly am! In fact a VGOW!

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

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!

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.

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.

haha hmm the name!!

farview how did I guess you have an amazing view from your house

who use the site.

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.

Well jalima1108..I visualised Maw with Auburn curly hair,...
Me..well am slim,5.4ish..oh not neat..nor stylish...have my own sort of style..yes from the back porch have amazing views..think once posted that...

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?

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??)

Bloody phone! gmelon, sorry!

I do get that geelong! But only for that one topic!

kittylester A button to like the post. I think that's what is suggested.
Then we would agree with the persons opinion. We'd be on their wavelength.

Interesting....I do but faces to names on GN...had to laugh to myself because recently MawBroon posted a photo of herself and I actually said out loud "that's not Maw!!"..

I used to pride myself that I could tell a lot about someone from emails and photos.. This is from years of being on message boards and as a host to international visitors.

However I have sometimes been completely fooled and on meeting the person was unrecognisable.

So I have stopped boasting.

Your name doesn't tell anyone about your irreverent sense of humour though Teetime.

I'm not sure a like button would tell people that you like them or feel that you are on the same wave length. I like lots of people on here but wouldn't necessarily like their posts. There is someone that I imagine I would get on with really well in real life but I disagree with some of her political views so wouldn't 'like' them.

Hello Mamissimo and welcome

I imagined you as tall, slim, dark-haired and rather Italian-looking too, wearing rather a lot of expensive jewellery.
You may imagine me as 5' 10", slim, still blonde and very stylish .

There was a thread a few years ago where we all posted our pictures...
Yes, I can remember your picture, Jane10, and every time I reply to you I have a mental image !

I remember Ana's picture too, she is no longer on GN .
But not anyone else, sorry

Hello mamissimo sometimes our Gransnet name reveals something about us- I cant guess anything about yours other than perhaps an Italian influence but you should be able to with mine and thus envisage a short fat woman and her pastime.

Mamissimo ?

I’ve met some the Edinburgh lot - great visit - sadly just the once, as life got in the way.

Now I’m back in the uk, would love to attend some more in my area. Somerset/Dorset ... any takers?

I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my fellow GNs, and none of them fitted the images in my head; neither have the photographs I have seen of those at various meet ups. But those I have met were all perfectly charming people and good company. Like Bluebelle I have one Gransnetter with whom I exchange regular emails. We have yet to meet but it will happen.

I normally have an image in my head of people I speak to on the phone (they rarely meet my expectations ) but on here I don't get any impressions of what people look like. Maybe it's only to do with voices.

I am totally unique, have no clique, nor (despite my name) a beak!

I suppose I do picture people too but not in focus.

I was at an art gallery today and definitely saw some of you there.

I sometimes wonder if my SIL is one of the posters as it can look all so familiar!
