To me, it's not the pages and pages of statistics and different types of charts, or percentages that count, as it can be bewildering and baffling to some, but just someone to say,' I'm sorry you are feeling down, sad,hurt or confused' it's the small things that matter the most, like a virtual hug or a small suggestion that can go such a long way
I've only ever been on one other forum. I guess differences of opinion are bound to surface. I'm sorry it happened. I didn't mean open old wounds. Sorry.

Great Popsy there you are, hugs and kisses to you , just sharing your cold around lolOdd I should find this thread. First diagnosed this forum was the first thing I logged onto every morning but I have drifted a bit. I have a rotten cold, was away a couple of weeks ago and have just got out of the habit. It's the middle of the night here, this cold is keeping me awake and I logged in to you lot, now I am wondering what on earth I have been playing at! This forum grounds me in a way that nothing else in my life does and it's simply because you all know exactly what I mean when I make some statement that any non-diabetic wouldn't have a clue about.....AND you don't give me funny looks either...at least I don't think you do, errrrr you don't do you?
Like @Kat100 says, it's like having a huge community of friends and sorry Andy, but here's a big group hug to us all!
xxxxx
Historical note: A number of good and prolific posters left the forum in November 2012 in protest at what they saw as heavy-handed and injudicious moderating, followed by a good number of other active posters who were their friends and supporters. I am reluctant to post this because I may get some of their long-term opponents attacking me for even mentioning the fact, but someone had to point this out, for the historical record if nothing else.
Yup, I looked in once before and did not like what I was reading, so went away for a long time. Shame really, as it was just a snapshot of a few moments in time, but made me miss out such a lot of good craic, and good advice.I've heard there were "troubles" just before I joined but hey ho, past is the past ! A forum is only as good as the members. Remember, those that post are only a fraction of those that just read these threads. You've no idea how many people you've helped, made laugh or annoyed along the way
You don't need to post regularly landlord ! Just keep the beer and bar food flowingI dip in now and then but can rarely be bothered to post anymore as it just isn't worth the aggravation, I know what works for me and thats good enough.

And if it works for you it may work for someone else too. Readers can try all different options and see what they like best.I dip in now and then but can rarely be bothered to post anymore as it just isn't worth the aggravation, I know what works for me and thats good enough.

That's lovely you have staff to keep your bar openAh, been a bit busy with the sailing recently, drink and sailing don't mix too well, but I'm sure my bar staff have been doing the necessary.
