Good observation Mike .
I couldn’t have replied to the post that Nancy thought was
‘lost’ …..as I didn’t see it when I check in.
I think some of us had a hard time at the beginning in trying
navigate the site ..I couldn’t ‘find things ‘…but now I’m sure
that we have all got the hang of things.
I’m usually on here checking about three times a day , so I can
willing be your ‘back up guy ‘..
Don’t sweat the small stuff Mike, and try not to worry too much
, we are all ‘big people’ so there is no worries even if we lose
a post …. Sometime I write a post then accidentally bump
something , and lose the lot! Dave often does it too. 😂
It’s not life and death ..but very very frustrating!
I’m sure all of us believe that you have done such a great job
…you are not the ‘young thing’ that you were when you started
the first forum . But none of us are either ! 🤪
So far so good .

Thanks Helen.
I guess I'm too sensitive and this is an example of a post where
I would be checking back and been disappointed, if no one had
responded.

Helen, I'v just woken up after about 5 hours sleep.
Health wise I get so poorly that I just have to go to bed to
rest at about 7 pm, and sleep on and off for the next 4 hours.
Add another 4 hours solid sleep and I wake up and log straight
into emails and 'United in Diversity' for a couple of hours
before I 'drop off' again till coffee time for Christine.
10am and I'm off in my car to 'coffee mornings and lunches' at
three different churches for 4 days per week.
Having got my driving licence reinstated and bought a new car
I've passed my mobility scooter on to Christine.

Good morning, sorry I have been absent for a few days. Work has
been really busy and I have just come home shattered and had
little energy for forum life , but as a moderator on another
site I do have to prioritise and check in to that one before I
come here.
I am off today but have my 4year old grandson spending the day
so his mum and dad can both go to work.
My daughter in law works for a travel company sorting out issues
and problems. She has been busy dealing with the situations in
Europe and the fires that have impacted Greece.
Well the lady that wants my house is bringing her husband round
today, if it’s still a yes we will be a step closer. We were in
this situation about six weeks ago and it fell through when the
lady came round to measure and decided it wasn’t going to work
for her. So we will see how it goes today xx
So I had better get up and prepare to be playing with Lego,
cars, reading books and possibly watching children’s tv , oh and
searching for things in the garden …………..
Rita

The visit went well but it is her husband that is going to be
difficult. Apparently he is not the easiest of people. He
changed his mind about coming to see the house, but the Children
loved it and so did Carly’s mum.
Please can you pray for this man as there are so many positive
reasons for his family to be here. This is just another hurdle.
Poor Chelsea is just so anxious , so this equally needs to
happen for her sake.

Mike, my posts were not literally "lost"; they are still there.
I can click on my profile, go to my posts and easily find them.
I was only responding to Dave's lighthearted suggestion of
UNNOTICED posts showing up in heavenly realms keeping us all
busy.
