Where is she?

I was recently thinking about vampirequeen but on searching, the latest post I could see from her was back in March.
Her posts were always interesting and I know she had health problems but wonder if anyone knows if she's ok or if she's taking a break ( or even opted out of GN. )

True, *harrigran’.

kittylester Wed 16-Jan-19 08:47:30

I'd miss you harri!

harrigran Wed 16-Jan-19 08:45:27

I have been here since the first few days of GN and have been known to go on holiday for more than three weeks and never been missed. I think we tend to worry about those that we know are having problems.

Wot hello x ?

kittylester Wed 16-Jan-19 08:40:54

ariadne appeared in the kitchen and then disappeared again. Unless I'd had too much wine and imagined it.

wot Wed 16-Jan-19 08:38:09

Hello! Wot here! Just a bit subdued due to on going heart problems and lack of anything interesting to say!

Marelli Wed 16-Jan-19 08:32:32

Alima, I can't remember that one! I did post about how an over-cooked and rather crispy fried egg was applied to DH's (bare) nether regions when he made an ill-judged criticism about my cookery efforts in our early days of being together. Could that have been the post, perhaps? Being remembered for such (delicate) matters must only be a good thing ?!
Urmstongran, yes. I very much agree with your comment. I remember that day very well, when I was sitting on a bus and it had dawned on me what I'd just posted about a close family member. I couldn't wait to get home and that was when I changed my name. It's a long time ago now but I'm wary what I post now. I was in a cold sweat that day (but looking back, I know that the person who may have identified themselves in my post wouldn't have cared less - and still doesn't... Hey-ho (as our Baggs would say)!

I was thinking how much better it might be Marelli for your family not to know your pen name in case you needed anonymity - should you ever want to come on and post about a family problem. How can you do that if your family read your posts?

Alima Wed 16-Jan-19 08:08:42

Don’t often see you post now Marelli. I think the funniest thread ever on GN was the one about you swearing at neighbours if I remember rightly.

Marelli Wed 16-Jan-19 08:01:43

I have stayed the course, having joined 2 months after Gransnet started. I used to be Greenmossgiel, but changed my name due to concerns that my posts may be misconstrued by family members if they happened to read them at the time. ?

Some names mentioned here are still here but under different names ( obviously I won’t say what the new names are, that’s for them to come out and say, or not.)
Also, some, like wot and wilma are still here but post infrequently. I don’t have much time for GN, usually dive in for ten mins here and there as life gets busy, and think it’s the same for a lot of people.

Mamie Wed 16-Jan-19 07:43:39

I too have been on here pretty much since the beginning. I only post on a few threads though.

kittylester Wed 16-Jan-19 07:38:07

I think phoenix was here in the beginning and I've been here since very soon after. And maw might have been here since the early days.

NanKate Wed 16-Jan-19 07:35:15

Ana and Anya are both missed.

I wonder if anyone has stayed the course and been on GN from the beginning?

Beechnut Wed 16-Jan-19 07:30:35

Beau, you will find Panache in Soops kitchen.

Beau Wed 16-Jan-19 07:22:41

Panache is the one I have noticed the absence of most as she used to post quite often. I do wonder if she is ok as she had multiple health problems if I remember correctly.

BlueBelle Wed 16-Jan-19 06:40:09

Christinefrance seems to have gone

callgirl1 Tue 15-Jan-19 23:09:52

I still miss Frank

Maggiemaybe Tue 15-Jan-19 20:09:53

I thought I’d seen something from Wot recently, but I can’t check because the search facility’s not working (has anyone else noticed that? grin Nonnie).

Nannylovesshopping Tue 15-Jan-19 19:52:59

I liked Wot and Wilmaknickersfit, hope they are both fit and well

NanKate Tue 15-Jan-19 19:47:52

I too miss Jing even though I had an occasional run in with her. HQ got rid of her I believe.

cavewoman Tue 15-Jan-19 19:36:21

Nonnie I responded to you! Am I invisible?

cavewoman Tue 15-Jan-19 19:34:21

I miss the posts from OldMeg sad

Bellanonna Tue 15-Jan-19 19:29:29

Marmight Tue 15-Jan-19 19:00:12
