Please correct me if I am wrong but didn't Julia pass away?

There are many people missing from the old days, it's a shame. I still have numbers on my phone that I won't get an answer from but can't bear to delete

Jude is on Facebook and I speak to her quite a lot. I think Polly was either on Facebook or made an appearance on here sometime

Liz I don’t think we ever knew what happened to Julia. She did have health problems though.

Very sad if Julia did pass away :-(

It would be but I have to say it's never ceased to mystify me how so many here are in touch by other means. I put out the hand of friendship to a member who I 'thought' I got on very well with but got a most peculiar response. :-S Takes all sorts and I know how to pick 'em :-0 :-D

I corresponded with Julia a lot by pm - crochet talk :-D - when she'd had enough of 'chat' she said she'd keep in touch by pm. That was the last I heard from her. She was quite private otherwise.

Regarding friends from here on other sites, I think at least back in the day when there was a lot of aggravation on the board, that people were a bit wary, not of adding a friend to FB but how much private info might go back to 'friends of friends' deliberately or accidentally.

That six degrees of separation thing...I'd trust A with my life, but she appears to have as a friend on FB person 'B' who I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them :-) Once bitten twice shy.

I just block anybody I don't want to see my Facebook page Rose
Though its easy for them to look in on somebody else account

So I don't put anything on there I don't want the world to know

But I do only add people I like :-D :-D

Island correct with regards Julia I never knew anything about her but Julia from Derbyshire and she was always very nice to me. I never knew anything of her private life and never needed to. :-D

Joy, I put very little on my FB page, cats and flowers mostly :-)

Mine is mostly funny sayings and my pets

Island

Island Report 8 Apr 2018 22:31

Hmm....still mystified. Why would you add strangers to your FB page? Perhaps it's just me, I like to see the whites of their eyes :-D

I'll send Julia a pm.

Rambling Report 8 Apr 2018 22:38

I don't think everyone is aware of the security settings? so a person might post publicly what really should be kept private.

Like Island, I've seen the 'whites of their eyes' of every 'friend' on FB :-D

Oh - and hello to Eldrick! :-D

I'll pass it on Maggie :-D

Island, Dawnie is still a member on here and visits sometimes. She also is on facebook. And, yes, I also press return and wonder why it hasn't moved.
I think Genes themselves are the cause of people leaving here these days with their sad don't care attitude.

Well hello there Madge. Is this the same Madge that was at that social all those years ago when I won the bingo playing 8 cards? Have you still got that fetching gingham pinafore?

Did you ever trace that elusive ancestor who was deported to Australia after the unfortunate incident with the Yorkshire Terrier? I would have loved to hear the full story.
