Someone on the group (I'm still open to personal mail!) has sent me comments.
Steve: Gud on ya. see ya next time ya are faced with a large bill from an expert(sic)!
It would be the first time! We've done it ourselves for half a century!
Dave Fawthrop: See you on uk.local.yorkshire.moderated?
No.
Dave Plowman: Yes, life is to short for a heavy Usenet existence, many of my active groups (and 'read only' groups) were deleted not so long ago, including this one - you'll be back, there is just something about this group, it's almost as if it's magnetic once discovered! It's really no different than reading a magazine or newspaper - apart from the right to reply> ;-)
I agree that this group is very special - but so is my life. I've found that I'm doing more since I gave ngs up and in fact am enjoying it. Don't read newspapers anyway J
Stuart @ SJW Electrical: I told you that ages ago. Cheerio then.
I should always listen to advice. Er - you're still there apparently .
ETV: But Mary, if you don't follow the group how on earth are you going to know what Aldi and Lidl are selling?
They send me their advance warnings J
John: So long then . Have fun! Drop in and say hi from time to time . Cheers,
I might ...
Nick: Good luck Mary, I enjoyed our exchange of messages on a couple of subjects earlier in the year. You have remarkable insight and a ready wit. Have fun. Is this an Autumn thing?
Flatterer! Nothing to do with autumn, I do tend to make impulsive decisions when I realise that I'm putting certain things above those which should be more important.
Red: Strange announcement to make. Part of a mid-life crisis? Like, what a bombshell.
Mid life??? LOL! Far too late for that J
NT: f2f is no better :) take care
f2f???
Colin: You too :-)
Thanks.
Geoffrey: Are you reading the "goodbyes"? (anyone want to lay odds?) And what is wrong with idle chatter! Life is not all work you know - sometimes there is time for just being plain rude... Resistance is futile.
I wasn't reading them, I was being very self disciplined. For once. Nothing wrong with idle chatter as long as more time is given to family. I can be rude outside ngs J
geoff: Translation - spouse has finally put his foot down
I wish he would, sometimes! He couldn't believe it. He can't believe that I've kept it up.
T i m: Yee'll be back I tells ee .. ;-) Have fun ..
You could be right .
geoff: Withdrawal symptoms will come after a brief period of euphoria
That's possible. I must admit that when I came on to post this I found the wax on the windscreen thread. It's wonderful. But some people are using far more than five words .
Hold me back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to everyone,
Mary
