Ten years.....

sorry rose ,am I missing something ,not sure what you mean. iris

Nearly 31,000 posts
573 pages of threads ( = 11,444 threads I have posted on)
Too many lost friends
Quite a few laughs and probably the same number of tears
An uncountable number of ancestors found ( my own and other people's but STILL no Harriett Whetman!).

A vast amount of my admiration given to the patience ( not always) and expertise ( always) of the researchers on the board.

and now it is nearly time for......

..... RRexit :-) ;-)

You won't be able to resist having a peek and getting riled about a thread. You'll be back :-D

:-) DET

Is £20 just to respond when you get riled a bargain ? ;-)

Absolute bargain, our Rose.

You absolutely can't go.

Leave it out Rose....you know you can't do without GR and GR can't do without you

But Guinevere, you post what I am thinking anyway lolol :-)

edit to add, but with much more patience and better grammar ;-)

I think it can Susan lol, there are enough helpers on FA etc, and not enough queries to go round...though I do enjoy the FLR 'quests' in particular :-)

Precious little patience sometimes, Rose.

My renewal is due next month and for the first time I'm thinking about not renewing. I haven't had a new contact for months.

As you know I have other stuff going on at the moment.

Mine is due next month too and I doubt very much if I will be renewing either.

Mine is due this month as well.

Will the last person out please switch off the lights.


Andy

Guinevere and Susan, I suppose we have all reached a point at which there are fewer benefits from being here and more and more that we need or want to do elsewhere :-)

My tree is on Tribal pages, so no matches here...not that I ever had any good ones, and have gone about as far with it as I am likely to get.

Andy you will be missed :-)

btw a bit off topic but I asked GR AGAIN about the lack of the advanced search ( which is a real pain when you are trying to see if a query has been posted before) and this was the answer.


"Thanks for your email. I am truly sorry for the length of time it is taking for our technical team to look into this problem.

At this stage, I am unable to say how long it is likely to be before we receive a response from our technical team, but please be assured that they are working through all the queries they have as quickly as possible.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this causes, and we thank you for your continued patience."

Rose u have left more times than iv had hot dinners, ;-) u either wont leave, or will be back soon enough lol,

;-) iv been not renewing for the last 5 yr but somehow still end u staying, altho i tend to look in less n less often.

Only once actually Stray, which is why I had to pay £19.95 last time, but you have to admit fewer and fewer people post now...that's the same on the other boards too.

I can buy 2 certs for that money ;-) and it won't raise my bp or hurt my hand to do so :-)

Feels like youve had more than one leaving thread over the years, yeah i think the reduction on price makes me stay a bit, i look in but dont often post, however i know if i stopped and something grabbed me when looking im, im paying way more to join again to add,

plus uzzi meets are worth staying for alone lol,

iv met some amazing life long friends on here, some i speak with everyday, some i think of with fondness everyday, there is just somthing that stops me not renewing.

But yes less n less people post on the boards sometimes they dont move for days, not like in the old days where ya had trouble keeping up...
Usually on a friday bun fight night ;-)

I'm due to renew on Sunday.

Suppose it will be round about the £20 mark again
