Just introducing myself, I’m Vanessa. From California, new here and would like to say hello.
Hello Vanessa, Welcome to the site and I hope that you are not affected by those terrible fires. They look an absolute horror. I feel so sorry for the people caught up in them.

I know what that’s like Vanessa darlin’ - live in the middle of the city with neighbours who insist on lighting barbeques or bonfires at the drop of a hat. I might add that I have a couple of serious lung problems which makes breathing in polluted air somewhat difficult.
Hello Vanessa, welcome to over50, hope you enjoy your stay here…looking forward to your posts…

Hi Vanessa, welcome to the site. I’m fairly new here myself.
Welcome,Vanessa. One word of advice…don’t speak to anyone called gumbud-specifically,gumbud himself…as he’s a weirdo who likes shaving frogs and nailing kittens to trees. Other than that, nearly 72% of us are [relatively] sane! …well-almost…
Just put him on ‘ignore’ like I do.

[SEE Vanessa? Daggers,backs,etc.
Longdogs sits alone,peeling Guinea Pigs & wondering what friends’ are…:shock:
