Why is it there are only 13 members & 170 guests right now? Are people afraid to join in, or are they passing thru? :-3

Paula · Post by **Paula** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 7:30 am

there are now 12 members on and 182 guests? are those the ones banned? hahaha?

Now it's up to 14 members and 191 guests. Just think, if only half of them would register, and half of those posted, it'd be one heck of a booming site here.

They must be the ones BANNED and their supporters? They are watching us....I really don't know who has been banned, nor have i tried to re-instate any? This is a popular Forum?

Peg · Post by **Peg** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 8:55 am

I really doubt that many have been banned. Just one that asked to be banned, and a few spammers. Maybe FG will tell us the exact number. My guess is maybe 6?

Perhaps its because of the Women in here :wah: or Bill Sikes

Yes so many guests & so few members, I have been in the Forum at 3am, the only member, and have seen 10 to 12 guests even at that time. (I have trouble sleeping, as I'm retiring at the end of this month and am getting anxious!)

Anyway, they may be intimidated and afraid to join. I joined back in October out of desperation as at that time I was looking for a "Retirement Support Group". So I joined to try to get some info. As it turned out, "this Forum" is my support group, and am I ever so happy I became a part of it. The members that are in here are a great bunch of people! (Getting to be like second family) :-6

Maybe they are like me..... I thought a forum was a chat room. I dont even know how I stumbled across this place.. No doubt at 3am one morning. But I love it here.

Sheepishly, I say.. "I feel like I know all of you also" Its very weird for me. You all came along at a time when I really needed you. My stay has been very theraputic

for me. I have learned so much... And I have become motivated to take an interest

in subjects I knew nothing about before. I would be very sad if you were all gone.

ALL OF YOU

Yes Cars, I can tell you enjoy being here, that is a good thing, verses the complainers...I was out yesterday, my husband is having Knee Replacement 1/10/05, we went to a class & met with my cousin a physical Therapist who worked on him (alignment), we will be using homeopathic remedies as well... of course we are a support group, we talk to one-another daily?

No snow here in London either.

I'm often shown as a guest as well as the browser I use opens a few pages at once, this being one of them and I don't always get around to looking or logging on to the site.

Peg · Post by **Peg** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 8:09 am

No snow in Ohio either. Just rain and lots of it.

Paula · Post by **Paula** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 8:23 am

Peg, your not doing a Janet Jackson Breast shot there? No pickin just askin? Here in Connecticut we have LOTS of SNOW especially in the NORTheast where I am? We are digging out, and we are going to the BAR today about 12-1:00 for lunch & cocktails, my new drink is Pineapple Juice & Vodka, oh my god is that good, just 2or3...YIPPIE.....

Peg · Post by **Peg** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 8:32 am

As much as I hate snow, I wish we were dealing with snow right now. Things are just nuts around here. Roads are closed, people are being evacuated due to streams and creeks flooding, mudslides, etc. The river is expected to flood areas close to me Friday morning. To top things off, 10 barges have broken loose, have hit the dam and a bridge. People are not fully recovered from the last flood and have another one to deal with. I'm really grateful not being in a flood prone area.

A t-shirt and shorts? Some people have all the luck...

Here I was grumbling (to myself) this morning when I left for my walk...

38 degrees and that really thick ground fog... we call it "tule" fog here.

Somehow, feels much, much colder than it was a few short weeks ago,

when I'd leave for my walk and it was 28 degrees and SUNNY. :-6

Hello all you GUESTS!! Jump on here... try us you'll like us! Don't be shy!!

Paula, good luck to your husband on his up coming knee surgery.

My wife's Aunt had a "double" knee joint replacement, about a little over a year ago and she is now a happy camper! She's glad she did it! :-6

Many of my friends and acquaintances have had knee replacement. They are all pleased. Good Luck.

This morning is Chop, Chop....

Hello, Members, how do you feel about our new guests? Do feel the forum has changed since joining? I see alot of members are not posting anymore?

Paula..

My dad just had knee replacement.. just keep an eye on the pain managment... other than that he is doing great. Into outpatient PT this week, had home PT and care for about a month after the surgery.. hope all works well with yours..

later..

Paula · Post by **Paula** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 8:52 am

The biggest debate this morning is about a PEE TUBE. a cathera? We are leaving in a few minutes, he said he will sue the hospital if they insert a tube in a bad place? Very upset about that, the most!

greydeadhead · Post by **greydeadhead** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:07 am

oh.. yes.. by all means allow a catheter.. when I was in it was the greatest because you don't have to get up to head to a bathroom.. nope.. I would encourage it.. atleast I would allow it again if I had to....

100mph Winds lashing Ireland tonight. And Yes, more rain. :-5

Paula · Post by **Paula** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 3:31 pm

we are having another snow storm right now, it is 5.:29 in the afternoon--dark. I am staying off the roads this evening...YES...our guests are growing...helloooooo.

Paula · Post by **Paula** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 2:33 pm

right now there are 545 guests viewing this forum & 24 registered members?

Paula, it may be prudent to be a little cautious as to what we wish for. Can you imagine 545 new members, then their adding 545 new posts all at once?! :wah:

We really need an index now to find all the areas that our posts are posted in.

Cars :driving:

Paula · Post by **Paula** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 3:39 pm

Cars, i would agree, it is unlikely 545 people at the same time would join? it does send a message that FG is becoming very popular! it will be estimated that the average american will live longer now due to forums? think about it, i don't think you plan to quit coming here anytime soon?

capt_buzzard · Post by **capt_buzzard** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 4:20 pm

They are taking a stroll around the garden before joining in on the weeding :wah:

Paula · Post by **Paula** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 4:56 pm

If they aren't strong enough to be a plant, they can stay a weed. :-6 too many weeds make me sneeze... :sneaky:
