General Chat

I have been looking on the boards for a while but didnt renew my membership. I love to read all your threads everyone seems so friendly but I always think that Im left out . I have now renewed my membership and put a couple of reply,s on the threads but nobody seems to respond .never mind I keep trying

Chin up Linda (not another one!) I am sure someone will talk to you. I havent seen your replies yet only this thread. Bob

Oh linda... don't feel left out... I kinda left too but still pop in now and again... no one would deliberately ignore you there to nice on here. Lynda

I haven't seen anything from you before Linda so keep persevering. Have a look at the Friends and neighbours thead. several of us chat along there so just join in, you will soon catch up with the conversation and will be made to feel very welcome, have a read baack a couple of days and see what we chat about - anything and everything!! Ann Glos

LOL, well you have a few replies in here now. I find that you need to put a subject up that people can relate too in order to get any replies lol Lisa x

Thanks for giving me a lift about not feeling left out I used to chat on Overfifties(.) com it was great but the room is empty now only a couple of us go in at night its good as you dont have to keep refreshing but lonely lol

Bob my maiden name was Wood lol

I think we all feel left out from time to time. I have managed to "kill" quite a few threads! Doesn't stop me from adding on to them though :-)) Lorrainexxx

Yes, I get that 'persecuted' feeling when i had to a thread and it seems to finish it off!! Ann Glos

We can start a Thread Killer Club! Lorrainexx

Someone has to end a thread! Your all paranoid, but not me. (god, I hope someone answers) Bob

Hi Linda, we read your replies when they are posted but we add our own replies as well, it doesn't mean we are ignoring you it means that most times we agree with you, they really are a good bunch here, when my cat was ill I posted a thread and got loads of support, thats the way they are, and when she died, I was crying while I was reading the very touching replies, so yes they are a good bunch, but with so many threads going at the same time somtimes some of us might miss the odd one here and there. :) Bev

Hi Linda, We dont mean to leave you out, we are a friendly bunch really. Usually when you go on Chat, someone will ask where you are from, are you married, have you any children, this isn't an interrogation, its just breaking the ice, to get to know you. So its quite a good idea, to go on and say I'm Linda from ....... and say just a bit about yourself so that it takes up a line or two. If you only say Hello, your message can easily be missed. Its lovely to meet you, just join in you are very welcome June

sorry you've felt left out. Hope you don't feel left out any more. I add something if I think I can say something helpful (?!), or funny (?!), doesn't always work. Sometimes I don't look at the boards for a while, and can't keep up with them ... get left behind and then have a complex. Anyway, hope you feel okay now. bye Joy

Oh don't feel left out. I think we all think that at times especially when you start a new thread which you think may be interesting and it flops. Just keep going, don't feel disheartened, otherwise very few people would put anything on here. Jo.

PS Please have a search for this thread:- "whats you name and where do you come from" then you could add something to it if you'd like to. It's quite recent. Joy

Thanks everyone Im Linda from Stoke on Trent I have 2 sons and 3 grandchildren think i have spoken to Jean before when I was going to blackpool for the weekend Thank you Joy I added to that thread

Wasn't it you that saw the illuminations being tested during the night?

Hi Linda I'm glad you put this thread on so that I know it's not just me!! I used to join in quite a lot but I haven't been able to come on quite so often lately and I began to feel that everytime I put a reply on it was ignored or stopped the thread completely. I started to feel paranoid and wondered if I had said something to upset everyone. So now I just come in and have a look from time to time. Anyway, it looks as though you have made lots of friends with your thread, so enjoy yourself. Love Chrissie p.s. Hope I haven't put the kiss of death on THIS thread for you LOL

Sorry June just nipped off for a bite to eat yes it was me that saw them testing the lights in the middle of the night
