Sabbatical

MG...sorry, but I have to respond. I appreciate your need to take 2 weeks off, and really hope you will come back soon.
GoY to me, is the sum total of all it's parts...ie all the members! If just one goes missing, then it's not the same :((
Very best wishes to you and Mr Moonbulb....xx
P.S. No need to respond...just hope you read this.

:o((

I'm with Moongrower on this - I'm not taking a sabbatical, but I am considering whether to stay or go, for slightly different reasons, but certainly to do with the way the site is run.

:~((

I think that after Friday several of us may be considering our position here.

glad i wasnt here when it all happened, it does get very tiring and spoils a lovely site :o(

Oh dear, I must have missed something while i was down with Flu.
I am so sorry that things are changing and folks are leaving !

:~((((

I've considered - I'm staying, on balance, the good still outweighs the bad, most of the time, and that's probably all you can ask for, really.

You can work for change from within an organisation but it is much more difficult from without.

Aye, ain't that the truth - I'll keep trying;-)

Goodness me! How awful that someone has been so upset by something (I know not what) on this site. I do hope that Moongrower comes back.How sad. I have found this site to be so friendly; it is always the few that spoil it for the many.

I wondered if anyone could enlighten me as to the changes that have been made to the site as I have not heard of any and would, obviously, like to be 'in the know'.

tink look at peters blog ablout changes etc, that should help ;o))

I do hope that you will reconsider your input is sadly missed In the short time i've been here i've come to value both you and Bamboo as extremly clever and experienced gardeners and lovely people(thinking about that blog when we rmembered the old days---including the mushy peas! )I don't really understand what has been going on but the 'powers that be' seem to be trying so maybe...

Okay I have taken my space and will respond to questions I feel able to... Though I still feel the need to peace and focus on me

im not going to bomb bard you with questions mrs MB, just to say nice to have you back, we all need our space and to be at peace, i know i do, so take care ;o)) x

Welcome back from me too, MG - it's been quiet without you, lol. I was wondering yesterday - for the two weeks were up then (not that I was counting or anything...)

Well I'm back but will remain low profile for now... I always need space in the run up to the shortest day - time to reflect and move on. Sadly it seems that others have left whilst I took my 'break'. I have found a new addiction Farmville on Facebook so if anyone else is playing let me know so we can be neighbours :-)

so is life bamboo it annoys me when i hold a door open for someone and they walk through like im supposed to without a thank you or anything .as you say the people who do recognise the gesture far outways the rude ones.so is life and people are people . i dont say anything to these rude people and keep holding doors open etc .i always try and be friendly and try and help hopefully sometimes i do . i find and have always found this site to be very friendly first and formost and then informative secondly realy as i can source any answer on the internet without using goy .ive had my little tiffs and ups and downs and people often say nothing out of respect and to keep the site running interestingly and friendly and generaly smoothly .it is a great loss for a nice member to leave as much as if i did myself and even more than a very informative rude person . life has to all of us lots of ups and downs that not being rude are much more maybe of a down than a plant not flowering ie losing a loved one or infact ups like knowing you have just won the lottery and can have all the garden you want etc . this site is a bit of light relief that i realy enjoy and think a lot of but much like most people im not going to agree with something i dont agree with.in the same breath im also not to proud to say sorry im wrong .everyone hits the preverbial stone in there soil excuse my spelling but you dont stop gardening you dig it out.its a new year ,spring is just round the corner .cant we all just be happy .i apolagise for anyone i mite of upset honestly . lifes to short to just give up on something you love .i hope i made some sense please everyone be happy ,nothing and no one is perfect or we wouldnt have to ask questions .please lets have a happy 2010 bye bye for now xx

Well put, Nosey!
Good to see you're back, Mrs MB, & look after yourself!
Happy new Year! May 2010 bring you all you would hope for!
