Please be Claire Marie cos if not I’ve beggered it up but thanks for the welcome anyway. I’ve got a friend in Ontario lives nr the Great Lakes.
Are you alright lass? If you’ve got any problems, just yell, and somebody will help you. 
Hello Mollie I thought it was you when I saw lass, my friend says I’m very observant unfortunitly I don’t always know what I observe, so since to me I look as though I’ve sent myself a message I may have gone wrong somewhere cos I’m only used to reply’s being next to person you’re replying to and I get confused easily.I’m hoping I’ve not ignored anyone who welcomed me but if I have it wasn’t intentional. Looking forward to reading more Crusty.
Alright lass. Now then to start off with:
No 1: Calm down and don’t worry about your replies.
No 2: Folk will understand because you’re new here.
No 3: People on this forum are very understanding, and we know you’re fairly new to the internet, so do not panic.
No 4: If you need help with anything, just ask. 
No 5: We’ve all been new somewhere and it can be quite daunting, so just take it easy, find your way around in your own time, and relax. It will reap dividends, I promise. 
I’ve been on the internet 4 yrs but I get mixed up, I’m not thick but you’d think so at times, have to admit for 3 1/2yrs only watched never commented, so p’raps a bit like being new to it. But thanks so much, my son worked on a farm in Irlam when he first left school and 28yrs later still takes his “Baggin” lunch to work our house was in an estate built for Wiganers who worked at Steel Works here. Tommy Heaton ,an old neighbour, used to say when I took dog for a walk “is e goin’ to empty 'is clog then??”. he was a lovely old man with huge hands, he was a stoker at steel works.
Sorry mind started wandering willleave you now. Why are you up so late??
thank you that’s lovely…
HI Hazel,
I still do not know what everything is. I try not to repost but I do anyway.
I wonder what the “multi-quote,” is. How it works.
Guess one day I’ll feel brave enough to try it. LOL.
I keep thinking about your braveness of perhaps camping with your pal.
I think of spiders and such.
Funny how finding a spider in the house is not as bad of thinking of them out there.
Once, I was on a motorcycle run to Death Valley (47 yrs ago) and when I woke up, there was a dead horrible looking spider which I guess I had flattened during my sleep.
A motorcycle run is where you join or are joined by hundreds of other motorcycleist. All are clubs sponsered by the American Motorcycle Association.
As you ride the freeway, other cyclist blend in from another hiway and the group grows and grows as you ride. Very nice people.
Some are lawyers and doctors on vacation.
hello I’ve been offline for a couple of days cos friend visiting. Me, pal Beryl and dog Bailey are off on Wednesday for 4 wks. I have a 2 berth caravan so it’s not too bad for creepies. We’re off up in he hills off Lancashire though neither of us can walk far doesn’t stop us though we just go back down to the flat, basically we just like scenery so we drive a lot, and we see lots of lovely places when we’re lost.
Multiple quotes I haven’t seen single ones yet.
Hazel
Hi Hazel,
That’s cute. . .getting lost.
When I visit mom, we go off somewhere and of course get lost. A few times mom has commented “we didn’t turn down a cul-de-sac today.”
Then unintentionally, I turn into one!
She lives in a huge city and I’m so used to being in the rural where everything is happily on one block. LOL
Ah I was looking for this when I sent my replies to everyone but didn’t know where it was. I have been lost in a restaurant before now, I’d gone out a different door and couldn’t find my car so thought it had been stolen. I blame Beryl she’s rubbish at directions, she says things like We’ve passed that field before, I recognise it (no she doesn’t and we’ve never been that way before) or Yes I remember this road followed by well I think it was this road (when we’re completely lost, It’s a good job we’re never going anywhere in particular, well mostly we’re not. We did have one case last Year in Wales when we were going to wherever it was via the coast road ie by the sea, I said Beryl Why are we going in between mountains if this road is by the sea? She couldn’t answer that so we turned back it appears we’d turned left instead of right but she hadn’t been reading the sign she was looking at the scenery. It’s a good job I don’t always take notice of her and we always end up laughing.
Byeee Hazel
HI there Hazel. Welcome. I see you’re picking things up quickly. Any questions just ask, it seems no one here bites lol.
Oooh good what did I pick up quickly, means I must have done something right which is unsual for me.It’ll be better now I’ve found the quotes thingy cos I forget what I’m talking about. Thanks for the encouragement anyway.
Ha I was talking about the quotes. So well done there
Hmm I also do things a#seupwards so looked at your profile after I’d replied then found out you were new too.
Haha sussed, yeah I’m new here but an old hand at posting on forums
In fact I’m an old hand at everything nowadays. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not lol
Really, I didn’t even know what a forum was, had this marvelous idea if computer was that good it would know the answer to my questions so any probs I ask it, kept sending me to forums I’d do what I thought it said then take it back to my nice repairer man who told me to stop going on forums what started as quite an easy prob to fix was 10 times harder by time I’d finished cos I didn’t know what I was doing or they were talking about.
The only “forums” which can be dangerous are Facebook and Twitter as they’re global networking sites.
Hazel, I do hope you have a good anti-spyware installed and an anti-virus as well.
Any questions about your computer, ask in Technology on here, and somebody will be along to help.
Ha well you struck gold here Hazel, I know everything there is to know about anything. Or if I don’t I can give a pretty good impression I know what i’m talking about while I change the subject, which reminds me, didn’t the daffodils flower early this year.
I’m told I have I don’t know and unfortunately I don’t understand computer terminology or pics either so when I turned radiator off, I didn’t know what Wi Lan was and had disconected my internet connection and when I asked my repairer man could he get me a microphone he pointed to a pic and said You’ve got one built in, wondered what the ice cream cornet was about. He went into hysterics when someone started trying to explain photoshop to me, I thought it was like Bonusprint.
