Where is everyone gone? Tunney and Scarie? Mise? Wet day here in Swords and the temperature has dropped considerably. It is the weekend though which is a plus. Off to meet one of my brothers for lunch in a local hotel.

Hi mmoffit
Tunney is on her jolly hols, and is having a great time, a well and truly much deserved break for her, I think Scarie is at the races in Bellewstown today , Mise is busy with exam papers I think and I am in the middle of cleaning the house, you are right it is gone very quiet in here.

I did ak IVENUS about all the people who are members, could something be sent out to get them onboard, I find it strange that a lot of competition winners are never on here and never come on even to say thank you for the winnings????? Makes me wonder two things
a; are they genuine competition prizes
b; are they really won by real people

i knwo other people have said the exact same so again I am throwing it out there to see what you all think!

Hey Tranimah and MMoffitt. Well yesterday I was out for a meal and then drinks ( diet coke) for me, and dancing so wasnt on the computer. Meant to be going to the races today but it’s raining and don’t fancy getting mucky! How are ye all today?
I think Traniamh that some people only join for the competitions ( one or two of my friends have done so ....) I think the competitions on the site, e.g. the ones where you have to actually post something, like a story or something or a better way of getting people involved!

Scarie and Traniamh

I just noticed that both of you passed the magic 1,000 postings line without being recognised

CONGRATULATIONS and keep posting

It may be that some people have gone over to Facebook I think but reckon they’ll be back to the forum.

Sometimes there’s just not a lot to say .... and in the words of Mark Twain

“If you have nothing to say, say nothing”

Miselemeas- thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so sweet to notice that! I didn’t notice til I hit 1005! have a lovely Saturday

Hi everyone

Weather has turned out nicer today than it has been the last few days in Cork.

I agree the best way for the Competitions to be run is that we have to post replies to a question or tell a funny story. In April the site was hopping with members then when we had to post replies.  Also then most people posted thank yous when they won a prize.

Traniamh, I must admit I had a bit of spare time on my hands on Wednesday as I was off, JDBaby was the only person who won something that posts regulary all the others were newbies who had never posted. I have heard of begineers luck but this was stretching it abit! 

Having a relaxing weekend.  Hope tomorrow is as nice as today.

hi all i agree it is very strange how winners just seem to pop up. how come they never post anything and like traniamh said even a thank you. maybe ivenus is picking strangers to win hoping they might join the site more????? maybe not i dunno but it does baffle me
