Re: Accrington Web
Yes, Margaret - they became so familiar that it felt like the loss of a family member when they passed away. People that you have already mentioned - Susie123, such a brave woman who continued posting right up to the end sharing her journey with us - but never complaining, Jaysay - a real card, always interesting, and of course dear Mick, and the others who we had to say goodbye to.
I, too, wonder what happened to people like Eric - at one time a prolific contributor, who took a break and then never returned. Where is Garinda these days? So many people we got to know, exchanging views with, agreeing with, disagreeing with, having a laugh, good debates. |

Accyweb has always felt like a family...and like families there are ups and downs, disagreements....but it does not mean that there is any long term grudges. That is how it should be. |

Re: Accrington Web
I wonder where Boeing Guy is these days - he used to make some really good and very interesting comments. Jim Proctor as well, turned out his grandmother married my husband's great-grandfather - second marriages, and Jim had lived in the same house with them. He was able to send me photos and lots of information. It was only through my membership on this forum that I 'met' Jim and got this information. My husband hadn't known any of it before.

Re: Accrington Web
I also miss Garinda...his blogs were just a joy to read...oh yes and on the subject of blogs Lettie caused me to have a very damp gusset with her stories of her sorting out her bkini line before a holiday...and the Tale of Sparkologist(her beloved) a bowel movement and a knife....in a rented apartment in Malta(I think).
Those episodes are definitely worth seeking out and having a read...especially if you need a smile on your mush.....but be aware Tena pads might be needed. More please! I really do miss reading about other folks adventures. Heth...where did Heth go? The last I heard of Heth was that she was expecting a 'nappy event'...goodness that child could be at school by now. |

Re: Accrington Web
Oh, that is so sad. He was like a breath of fresh wind with some of his comments, I really am sorry to hear this.

Re: Accrington Web
Awww, Margaret... I always loved reading the blogs too. I used to laugh out loud at yours and Garinda's :-)

It was lovely to hear the stories...past and present, of other members. Often it would loosen the memory stones in the brains of others....and it was every bit as good as getting a book out of the library. The sharing of life events too. Like Mez and her sad loss of her grandson Dan....those things made you look at what you considered to be your ‘trials’ and these were really put into perspective. These days, there is only me and Dotti’s who participate in writing blogs....but we do get comments. I would love to see more people writing about their past, their memories...but everyone seems too busy. I do not write anywhere near as much. Ma is no longer here, so less funny stories from that quarter....and the current situation has meant not even a bus ride. |
