I hope the above ladies are all well and enjoying life.

I'd just like you to know I miss you and always enjoyed reading your posts, AB is not the same without you. I don't suppose any/all of you would consider returning? Please? Pretty please?? 💐

Anne looked in this morning

[Vagus]

I know Barry, but she doesn't post, which is a great shame.

[barry1010]

At least she still logs in, so there is hope 

[newmodarmy]

I thought one or more of the latter two were back again as is/was bobbisox. But coukd be wrong-I'm sure some would know better than I do.

[douglas9401]

Gawd, is this going round again, I'm hopeless at reading the signs.

[Canary42]

I second that Vagus, I hope they're all well. 

[Vagus]

If they are I've missed that, newmodarmy.

However I reckon someone else is back but I'll say no more, this is about those four ladies, not anyone else, I really do miss them. They're all intelligent, reasonable, chatty people who added a lot of positivity to AB and I hope they're all ok 🤞

[newmodarmy]

On reflection I'm not sure they are all back... I get confused by Aunts and Ladies but there's certainly one new member who knows the ropes. But it maybe someone from before my time. lola's mum also rang a bell the other day 

[jackthehat]

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that any, or all, of them have already or will return to AB, at some point.

Returnees either like to continue where they left off, or manufacture a new personality for themselves.

Hopefully, those who have been absent for family/health reasons will find their situations much improved and come back to join those of us still searching for the way out.....😁

I was briefly in contact with lofty lottie...but I lost a bunch of contacts when I got a new tablet. If you see this lottie...email me.

I too miss all the ladies mentioned...funny, intelligent, opinionated. 

[bednobs]

i was thinking we hadnt seen caran for a while.  i likedd her posts

[choux]

Waves to Vagus :) How kind of you to ask after us all. Haven't been on AB for a while and was conceited enough to search my name! Just for newmodarmy - I have not registered under any new name.  I hope you and yours are keeping well, Vagus.

I cannot answer for the other ladies, but not doing too well here tbh. I have been addressing my health recently and have been in contact with my GP who has been very attentive. Lots of appointments and hospital tests/investigtion. Had 3 diagnoses of late, 2 that I can live with but the 3rd is not so good. I won't go into details but I have it all to do now so just have to get on with it. 

I had to nominate a new NoK after OH died and chose to use my dearest friend whom I have known for many years and we share the same sense of humour, thankfully. She knows me better than any other soul and was happy to take on the role. I couldn't use a family member - all in their 80's: one lives in Australia, one is blind, one has nil mobility - lives in Cumbria and the last one who lives in the Midlands is seriously ill. Others are 2nd/3rd cousins how ever many times removed so not my choice. One hospital I attended insisted I should chose a relative - really? Another hospital accepted my friend's nomination willingly. (I had signed a statement explaining the nomination and had it witnessed.) So much for uniformity, eh.

All I can say is thank goodness for close friendships! It was hard for her yesterday when we were called into a Counselling Room at the hospital. I was comforting her ;) She was so annoyed that she now weighs more than I do - that gave me a really good laugh :)))

Whilst I am on here, I would like to wish all the best to those who are having their own health problems including Lofty Lottie, Peter Pedant, retrocop, jourdain2 - apologies to those I have missed out, there must be a few.

Thanks for the shout-out, Vagus xx

Choux - it is lovely to see you posting. I am so sorry to hear about your current health challenges. Please take care x 

[Canary42]

Lovely to see you again Choux 😊

Sorry to hear of your health problems, I hope things improve soon.

Hi Choux, sorry your health hasn't been too good of late. Glad you have your friend to cheer each other up. Best wishes for any health challenges that might be difficult for you and lots of inner strength. Nice to hear from you. x

[wolf63]

Pasta, I emailed you Lottie's email address. Did you get the email?

I never thought I would say this - AB today is nothing like the AB that I joined.

There are many pleasant and knowledgeable people but there is much unpleasantness too.  It has driven people away.

[Toorak]

I agree Wolfie - all of those mentioned in the OP were subjected to unwarranted nastiness

[wolf63]

Choux, it is nice to hear from you.

I am glad that you have a good friend and a good GP, both make being unwell much easier to cope with.

💜💜

[Hazlinny]

I have missed your posts - hope your health problems get sorted and you can continue to do the things which you enjoy. Kindest thoughts. x

[pastafreak]

Wolf...hidden in 'junk', it wasn't the only one 🙃🙄🥴

Choux, I hope your health improves...its lovely to see you.
