Hello, I'm new here, will you be my friend?

Post: # 189840Post Betony »

Hello, I've been looking at this site for AGES but only just registered today. I noticed that I have no friends!, so will YOU be my friend? I'm particularly interested in perennial edibles as I :hugish: LOVE LOVE LOVE :hugish: plants but not so keen on actual gardening! Far too much like hard work - which is my other half's job! (Bless him).

Oh, I'll let you into a secret - I'm a little tipsy at the mo! :drunken:

Hi there and welcome from a fellow Northumbrian :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi Betony :salute:
I love your signature. I've said things along those lines many times.

Don't worry about the friends list thing. I don't think most of us bother with it, we just get to know each other through the posts. Just being a members makes us friends as far as I'm concerned. After pouring my heart out on here once, I added all the lovely people who showed support and gave me good advice to my friends list, but I don't know if they are aware of that, or if I'm on anyone else's friends list. In fact, I don't really know what the friends list is for or if it does anything :scratch:

Aah, thank you to you both for your welcome. I'll be back again sometime soon, but I gotta go to bed now. Good night :wave:

I was wondering what you meant at first, thinking what friends list? :scratch: If you mean the Friends or Foes thingy in your profile, as far as I am aware it just tells you when those people are online! Though of course you've got to go into your profile to view that, so you might as well scroll down the page and look there. Fairly pointless in my opinion. :iconbiggrin:

Mind you it just might be that I am not anyone's friend so I didn't get an all singing, all dancing message telling me someone loves me. :lol:

Hi and welcome Betony. :wave:

Hi Betony,

I didn't even know that there was a friends' list! But as far as I am concerned I have made lots of lovely new friends here. Anyway, nice to hear from you :wave:

Hello Betony. I adore Northumberland especially the beautiful beaches. Hope you haven't got a hangover! I'm like you, I love the idea of growing all the stuff but tend to be the supervisor and Dave is the one who does the hard work bit :oops: . Welcome to -ish :wave:

I just found the site about a month ago and love it. I have no idea what friends list you are talking about, but don't worry about it, you will have plenty to talk to.
