Is it just you pt2

Madmax is a member of the vine and enjoys the chat and gossip even if he isn't terribly into gardening yet. He also belongs to some car forums and jukebox ones too, but the operate in a totally different way to this one. Not nearly so friendly and chatty. Older son has his own web comic and a runs a forum with that (recently started) younger son is a model steam enthusiast and we just joined a forum for that too (again not nearly as user-friendly as this one)

OH doesn't really "do" forums. But he has gotten to the stage in relation to my other main one of suggesting when something is wrong with the toddler that doesn't require urgent doctor trips, that I should "ask the Magic Mums" - another bunch nearly as friendly as the Vine. And he does admit that I've been steered well on here too.

But he isn't a member of any and doesn't post to any himself - although he occasionally reads a few for useful topics.

ETA - by the way, another Magic Mum came up with a far better solution than tw****rs or chilli hands: Cinnamon oil in the bath. I've never resorted to it myself, but I understand the results are usually very successful......

My family feel a bit left out when I'm on this forum as it's new thing for me. Sam, 10 has just joined a cornsnake forum and Amy, 13 wants to join a cat forum. OH has just joined a porche 911 forum, I can't imagine any of the members are as welcoming and friendly as you lot! I'm looking forward to Spring, adding to all your good general chit chat, more threads on growing veggies.

We have it worked out, this (the Vine) is 'my' computer thing, he spends his life on youtube looking at funny videos. Neither of us pretend to understand the other. Occasionally we show each other stuff and talk about/laugh at it together.

Similar situation here. He has his (specialist hobby forum) and I have mine with Grapevine, sometimes we fight for the computer. He's heavily into eBay for hobby's parts and checks out YouTube that has planes flying/landing/crashing/damage/wreckage.

Wanna see my puppies?

Only if you're sure you've washed all the chilli off your hands first!

Dont think my OH would know what a forum was if it jumped up and bit him!! He's very suspicious of all that kind of thing, would wonder if you were all 'dirty old men' out to get me!!!

OH thinks its sad virtual gardening he calls it.... this is the man who plays WOW for hours on end with virtual characters....how does that work then???

[lainey lou]

It wasn't me I don't know what you're talking about!

[piskieinboots]

mention what?

[lainey lou]

sorry promised not to mention them again!

[piskieinboots]

tweezers? who said tweezers

[piskieinboots]

Snowdrop doesn't do forums any more than he does gardening.

I tend to do most of my foruming during the day - working from home makes it easy to do, oh so darn easy to do (looks at pile of work not getting done). But come the nice weather .....

[lainey lou]

aaawwww fanks Wayne . Promise never to mention tweezers in your presence again! -Whoops!
