Title: Tell us about Yourself!
Post by: Pat on March 29, 2016, 10:54:58 AM



It's been a busy week in the Back Rooms of Seniors and Friends! 

Unfortunately, not all the news has been good.  :(  Please re-register and I'll approve you as quickly as I'm able.  Spread the word to everyone!

There are still glitches that we have to jump over but hopefully with all of your help, we'll try to get over them together.

Please leave a post too and tell us what discussions/topics you frequented regularly and we'll try to re-build the site as best we are able to do this.

 ::)   Yes, I know you all know this old girl! 

When you post a post, if you change the "Subject" above from "Tell us about Yourself!" to your name, that will help us.

I mostly post in Soda Shoppe and the cooking forum (I've forgotten the actual name...sorry ???)  If there is anything at all I can do to help, Pat, let me know.

Pat, yes, we all surely know you.  I am sure this all has been a big mess and I know all the "Friends" will so appreciate what you have done to get this site back.  It was almost like "loosing your best friend", these past couple days.

I am Joy, from central Maryland.  I  usually post in the Soda Shop, Norm's Bait and Tackle, the Photo groups, and a couple others now and then.  I love reading all the messages, but don't always post something.

I sure hope all the Friends will be able to figure out how to get back in.

jane here and it's good to see the site back.

I post in the Bosom Buddies and the other Health related folders and Money Matters.

I've let the other gals in our BB group know that the site is back and they need to re-register and we'll start all fresh and new.

Thanks for all the work, Pat and Michael!

WELCOME HOME!!!

Jane, great to see you found us.  We don't have email addresses to send folks emails announcing this so I guess it's "word of mouth".

Hi, dear hearts. Have I ever missed you. I started a mini diary, more or less to feel a part of you while we were down. Here is what I wrote 

Hi, dear hearts, Mar. 25 th.
   I am missing all of you so much, so decided to just go ahead and talk and will post it when possible. It really is hard being away from you, my Cyber Family. I have kept active. Our Friday Choir performance worked out beautifully. We had a large audience and we all enjoyed entertaining them. Dori came over early and she and I had a nice lunch downstairs with another choir member that is also a member of Gary and Dories Church. Gary arrived later but still ahead of the program. A Secretary from their Church was also a guest and I was so happy to meet Kathy afterwards . She has been a tremendous benefit to Gary as she was Secretary before Gary became Pastor, and a very wonderful help to him. Dori had to leave after the program to get some shopping done, and Gary came home with me to go over paper work I had saved for him to decide on. That is such a GREAT help to me. He thinks for me.

Today Mar. 26. has been a day of rest. I did go down for lunch, and will go to a Sing along program now, and then home for more reading and rest.

The Sing Along was great, but now it is time for bed. I wonder if  Vanilla knows we are down. I would not like her to worry that it is her computer. Good night dear hearts. I love you.

Easter Sunday…Good Church service. home to write letters, clean up paper work and just dawdle

Monday, the 28th. Still missing you all. Keeping you in Prayers. God grant you Peace and health. HUGS~~~~

Post by: JoanFL on March 29, 2016, 12:29:03 PM
It's so good to be back.  Thanks to those involved for all the hard work.  I post mostly in the Soda Shoppe and provide a "new edition" each day.

Hi, I have just been approved. I have always been in Soda Shop and Norms, deAngel (Gloria)  I had to change my name and password.  I am now Lindancer.

I am so happy to be back with all my firiends.  Thanks Pat and all others involed.

What happened? Was the place hacked?

I'd like to see Norm's Bait and Tackle forum rise from the ashes.

Norm, sadly, may be gone but our memories of him are not.
Title: Re: Tell us about Yourself!
Post by: Oldiesmann on March 29, 2016, 01:10:41 PM
No, nothing was hacked. It's kind of technical as far as what happened but there was a series of hardware failures which resulted in the data from the old server getting corrupted and neither I nor the host had any backups (despite the fact that the host claimed they did nightly backups).

Hi there!

I'm glad that you found your way back.  Michael is working so hard behind the scenes to get things listed as they were. 

Now, if you tell me what USER NAME you'd like we can remove the email address as your name.

Pat  :)
Title: Re: Tell us about Yourself!

Pat, I can't tell you how very happy it makes me to see you posting again. God does answer our prayers. Is everything going well with you now? I pray so. I will never cease being Grateful to you and your husband for giving us this "home" again. Thank you for everything.

Beverly here, checking in! I found it difficult to figure out how to register. It kept giving me the log-in when I clicked on "Register" but somehow I found my way.  :) I hope everyone is able to find us again. I'm so glad we're back even if it means starting with a clean slate. I have missed you all!

Just not as sharp as the rest of you.  It took me a couple of dozen attempts before I made it into your midst.  Now I'm going to take an Old Lady nap.  Entitled.

Dear, dear, dedicated and must be exhausted Pat, I have been and am and would like to be for a while yet just plain yours truly MaryPage.  That's my name and I own to it.  Hugs to you ___________

So I want MaryPage as my USER NAME.  And I only post in Bosom Buddies and Norm's Bait & Tackle.  Thank you!

I'm baaack.  What was the horror film with that line?   :)

Anyway, here I am.  Remember me?  Good to see so many of our friends finding the way back.

We owe Michael huge thanks for all the work he's been doing and the time he has spent in order to get us running again.

Thank you, Pat and Oldiesman for getting us all together again.  We are all Newbies now!
I noticed there is no chatroom and that is where LaBrat, Alpiner, and I have met most every evening for years, with other friends dropping in occasionally.  We met at 9;30 pm, CDT, and welcomed any or all to join us.  Please, let us chat!
Title: Re: Tell us about Yourself!

There is a chatroom actually. I just forgot to add the menu item for it. I'll do that shortly :)
Title: Re: Tell us about Yourself!
Post by: so_P_bubble on March 29, 2016, 02:13:36 PM
so P here :) and very glad to be back.

I used to haunt these discussions:
Norm's Bait and Tackle, Classical Corner (Radioman's), Saying of the day, Old Sayings (Rammel's), Art page (Radioman's), Photos Now and Then, Birds place (Chocky's), Trivia games, and a few more games.  Also the Knitting place and the gardening forum.  Sorry but I don't remember the exact title.

Post by: Shirley on March 29, 2016, 02:44:07 PM
Well, I don't handle getting lost & having to find my way back with any type of "computer" know how.... Been around the block & finally got home.  Thank you, Michael for shining the light & rescuing "the wild bunch". 

I check into the Soda Shoppe first thing & then on to Photos Then & Now (& all the sites under that)... when someone posts a link I go check that out but don't navigate too far from this home. I have loved the fact the Gallery has been working so well since it is easy to post photos from there.  I'm not going to hold my breath until all is back to normal because I'd be having a nervous breakdown if in your shoes. 

Pat, I've been worried about you, glad to see you post.... know we all appreciate what you do for us, thank you.

Three cheers for all the crew!   :smitten:
Title: Re: Tell us about Yourself!
Post by: JaneS on March 29, 2016, 03:19:28 PM
HOORAY!  I found you!  I was able to register with my old info.  I didn't have to change my name or my password.  I sure hope that doesn't disappear on me.

I HAVE MISSED YOU, ONE AND ALL!  Please don't ever leave me again!  I just didn't know what to do with myself.  When I get upset I eat and WORK and if Joanie ever finds out about the WORK, she'll fill up my page in her book with demerits.

I mostly read and post in the Soda Shoppe with some deviations to some of the games and photos.  I'm sort of a "jack (or Jill) of all trades.  I LOVE IT ALL!

I had a hard time registering, kept getting a message that I didn't exist.  I couldn't even change my user name to Mary Ann, which I should do.  I posted mostly in Norm's Bait & Tackle and Soda Shoppe, but I put my 2c worth in Classical Corner, Cooking folder, Garden folder, actually anything that had something of interest to me. 

It's nice to see so many familiar names back again.  Thanks Pat and Oldiesman for all of your hard work.

There used to be a way to set your Profile so your name didn't show every time you went into a Forum.   I liked the anonymity of being able to read some Forums in which I will never post.

I don't remember on what page I found statistics at the bottom that listed everyone who had signed in during the past 60 minutes (or whatever time frame it was).  Don't like this, either.

We don't all need to know what everybody else is doing......IMHO, of course.   :)

I have been looking for that too,  Callie,
and I do believe that that option is not offered
in this new version,  or they  have chosen not
to turn it on.

Pat - or someone - can you change my user name to Mary Ann?  I have always signed my posts with my name, but many people don't look that far and I am addressed as "matock" which is fine, but I do have a name and I'd like people to use it.

Bubble, it is SO good to be back & I totally agree that Pat is our Guardian Angel & better add Michael to that post, too. 

Jane, I think I must have put on 5 pounds eating since I couldn't visit with anyone in here... thank goodness we had
e-mail to buzz around on to see if anyone got in before "ME". 

I did go into my Profile but couldn't get changes made at the time & will be patient until back to normal.  Ah, Callie, I see you remembered why I couldn't get the job done, thanks! The important part is "The Gang's All Here!"  If we notice someone missing & have e-mail for them... send a message with a trail back, please?   :smitten:

 :) Hi Angel or angelface here and I too am glad to be back although I miss all the things we lost, especially from those who've passed on. I agree that Pat and Michael are deeply appreciated for all the work they do for us!

I post normally on Norm's B&T, computer Q and A and other computer threads, photography sites and games such as trivia and other quizzes. I sometimes looked at the cooking thread and pretty much all over at times.

I like the new smilies but miss some of the old like the chicken dance, pouring coffee and the balloons.

I'm glad to be back!

I sneaked in again, happily. I am so enthralled being back with all of you again, I can't quit gabbing. I first came to Senior Net in 1997. It was advertised in our little local paper of Hemet News. My favorite spot has always been "Bis' Nest" or now Soda Shoppe. I also like Bait and Tackle, Games, Medical problems, Politics, and others, but my favorite is Soda Shoppe. I have so many thankful, happy memories, and so grateful that Pat and her husband have kept our family of friends together. Thank you.....everyone !!!!!!!!!

We knew a man who said he was a descendant & heir to the throne of The Isle of Man . He & his wife put on a large dinner party at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego announcing it . They were both royally dressed too .  He requested a meeting with Queen Elizabeth but it was denied . It was sad .  He had hoped they could move there & be reining  the island . As I understand the position he hoped to have doesn't exist any more .

Hi!  I'm new to this site.  I'm primarily a quilter, but know how to do almost all of the needle arts.  I'm retired and loving it. I quilt with my local guild, Quilts of Valor, Project Linus and a group at a local hospital, Quilting Angels, sponsored by the Chaplains office where we make quilts for the terminally ill. Family keeps the quilt as a memorial to their loved one.
I love the CHAT aspect as I often do that while I sew.
I live in Southern California.  Hoping to see a Forum group for Quilters.

Hi alpiner
The chap who said he was a descendant and heir to the  throne of  the Isle of Man has been saying that for years.

First of all, there is no throne or regal monarch on the Island.  Her Majesty the Queen is what we call the Lord of Mann.  We are a crown dependency and have a someone who represents Her Majesty the Queen and has an official residence on the Island.

And you do not request a meeting with the Queen.  You are granted an audience with the Queen. He seems to have no knowledge of the official procedure or system of  affairs of state in the United Kingdom or the Isle of Msn.

It's good to see so many "old" friends back in S&F.  Sato, your flowers are beautiful.  Are these in the yard around your house? 

I have been retired nearly 30 years; hardly seems possible.  We are having rain right now and from radar looks like we'll have a storm.  I do not expect that we'll have the weather they've been having west and south.

I post mostly in Norm's Bait & Tackle and the Soda Shoppe, but I put my 2c worth in other forums if I want to say something.

Same here, although I hadn't been up to the task since he passed. I just didn't have the heart.

Am I correct in that ALL of the old posts in B&T are now evaporated, including those from Norm himself? How sad.

I give a LOT of credit to those who keep this place going, I know I don't have the patience or guts for it.

I have been retired nearly 30 years; hardly seems possible. 

Amazing, isn't it? I've been retired 7 years and since my former company is Satan incarnate, I couldn't be happier to be out. I was FIRED for being too old and too well paid (figuratively, of course, since the men my age were paid MUCH more), so I wish my old company nothing but the worst. I was FIRED, then threatened with no severance unless I taught my old job to a woman from the Philippines. Yup, Satan incarnate, and apologies to Satan.

I don't dare go to the political forums, for obvious reasons.  ;D

BOY, am I glad this place is back. If not for my dog, I can't say where I'd be.

Oh!  spell check not working here.Can't manage without that. It took awhile before it got going in the previous forum.

Some of the Forums are shorter now. We really don't need some of the subjects that had not been used for years. I sort of jump around into a dozen . Mostly the busy ones.

Post by: Mary Ann on March 31, 2016, 01:58:33 PM
Hi Deedee - yes, Norm has been gone four months now.  Dot keeps busy and doesn't sit around and mope, not that she would anyway.  Dot goes out to lunch with Tom, Terry and me and sometimes Terry's wife is able to join us.  This is a weekly thing. 

Dot has three great-grandsons and sees one often.  The other two, twins, live in Texas.  Norm had one great-granddaughter, born after he died but he knew she was on the way. We haven't seen her because the family lives near Lansing MI.

Regarding retirement, time flies when you're having fun - whether seven or thirty years.  It's a shame how you HAD TO retire.  I worked for a utility in the office and it was a great company to work for, however, they catered to shareholders at the end whereas they used to cater to their customers.  We had one big happy family for many years.  All I ask of them today is to get my pension in the bank and that they do!

Mary Ann
Title: Re: Tell us about Yourself!
Post by: deedee on March 31, 2016, 03:10:07 PM
Thanks, Mary Ann. I can't believe it's been four months already. I am glad Dot is doing okay.

True about retirement. I loved every minute of my working years when IBM was a family, but the last two years were a horror. The Gulag had nothing over IBM. I was angry for quite awhile after getting FIRED, but I couldn't be happier now.

Ditto, as long as I get my pension (they stole my retiree medical), I don't have any interest in them at all anymore.
Title: Re: Tell us about Yourself!
Post by: Radioman34 on March 31, 2016, 03:16:08 PM
Jenny, retirement is wonderful; I wish I had done it 50 years ago :D  I never had the same ignominious end to my employment as you, by the workplace environment was poisoned by a strike and it was no longer a happy place to work. As soon as my mortgage was cleared I took an early retirement and don't regret it for a moment.

I retired last year, although I had to retire from work with a disability ten years ago.

But how did we find time to do everything while we were working as little time for anything now as always something to do that takes most of our time up!

Gotta get my name back in the pot - Johann Mc.  I don't get to the forums everyday since I stay busy helping my husband get where he needs to go.  He isn't driving anymore since his accident in January 2015 and this has been a busy week since he had outpatient surgery yesterday to remove a cyst.  Hopefully it will check out OK.

I usually post in the Bait and Tackle Shop and it's good to see that some of our regulars have found their way back here. 

Kelly, I thought about you and am glad you found us again.

Sure is great to be able to read the messages from many friends.  I've spent the past few days having Irish temper attacks thinking my computer was working against me! Very glad to finally find out that I have access again.  Many thanks to those who contacted me and said "Hi Molly."

BUBBLE - Any chance you are coming to our part of the Planet to visit even if only briefly?  I've be very happy to share some of Mohamed's Egyptian Tea or my Persian Tea with you.

Our family is getting ready for my son ("Chaps") to move along to his next international military post in KOREA.  Prayers for his safety and well-being will be much appreciated.

Mohamed is preparing for the final exams which his several hundred University students in Egypt will be given in a couple of weeks and then - hopefully - have the energy to grade and record all those on record.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Hi Molly good to see you made the transition.
Come to US again? I'm afraid now it is  in the realm of dreams.
Too far, too difficult I am afraid.
I would love better to go back to Egypt and find some traces of my grand mother/father who came to Cairo as  young  couple and are buried there. We tried in vain to find their resting place when we visited in '83.  My mother was born there and studied  in The Alliance School.
Title: Re: Tell us about Yourself!
Post by: Molly on April 03, 2016, 11:57:07 AM
Hi Bubble - Thanks for your welcome to this new site!  As I began to read your message, the phone rang and Mohamed was calling from Egypt.  I smiled as I read your post to him and asked "are you ready to meet one of our long-time friends?"  His Family home is in Giza (near the Pyramids), but he recently bought a new apartment in Cairo and teaches at a small university there.

It's really great to have this site working for all of us.  I truly missed not being able to interact with SN Friends.  Now if I could only figure out how to get a photo alongside my posts!  I seem to recall that many years ago I sent a photograph in the regular Mail to one of the SN Ladies and she added it to my posts, then returned the photo to me.  Perhaps I could do that again.

I posted on the Back Porch and a prayer site plus Organic Living which I assume has been joined with Diane's discussion which belong together anyway.
I was Adoannie and Ann Alden on SN and here.  So now I am AnnieA here, Adoannie on SL.

Hello from Highlands Ranch, Colorado!  I hope to join this spot once more.  Here, the snow is melting fast and there is another snow day coming soon but it is really Springtime in the Rockies! 

Our daughter drove here for a lunch visit today and she brought her wonderfully friendly Golden Retriever.  This could be called a therapy dog as Lola is happy to be noticed and so calm. 

I am way behind on your news and trying to catch up - great to find this place once again.  Stay safe.

good after noon. cloudy and53º here this after noon @ a1/4 after three. we lost the internet for a while. Hope it stays up this time. I hope I do not need to go to the doctor at V A they are having power outages and running on generators. and are saying to call first. except for a runny nose I am fine. they gave me a machine that you push the on button , and it talks to yo telling you what to do, Like put the oxygen clip on your finger and what to push and the blood pressor cuff and then the same thing, talks you through the complete test.an when you are through, it tells you to have a good day, and says your results have ben sent to the doctor. and if they have instructions it sends them to you. now isn't that a deal.

Lloyd, the "Re-register and introduce yourself" thing is from years ago. Back in 2016 the server the site was hosted on crashed and I didn't have any backups so we had to start over. I've removed that part of the news item now.
