Hi everyone,

I posted on here a couple of days ago requesting information regarding funeral ashes. Jac very kindly sent me 2 pm's with all the relevant details which covered everything I needed to know. Just be discrete in what you say, post the minimum details and wait and see which kind person gets back to you.

Victoria, most of the people I know who do it are very happy people with lives and feel past experience gives them good reason to do it:)

Lancs Lass, I've been to a few meets and have met a lot of people, including some good friends. Some people know my real name anyway and I have no idea who's looking in and reading these boards but I do have relations who use this site as well. And I value my privacy:)

Hello stranger:) You're right though, Rose - I just wouldn't feel comfortable. And thank you for the compliment but it's cos you write quite like me:)

Agree totally David, more than once I have written a long reply to a thread, only to delete before sending...

simply because everyone would then know rather more than I would feel comfortable with! (lol but you read subtext so well you PMd me! :) )

Excuse my naivity,

but how do others know you on here and why are you wary of sharing personal information.

Do you not find it a good sound board to get thinks off your chest?

Whats the saying 'a problem shared is a problem halved' well on here it's more than halved!

I feel sorry for all those you are on about that keep tabs on who's who they are very sad lonely people and need to get alife . I have had alsorts happen to me and if someone tried to use it malicously then good luck the people that mean any thing to me know already.

Well love you just have to keep your own counsel (sp) then, dont you? No good baring your soul on a web-site if you arent comfortable about it.

sometimes it would be good to be able to post without people knowing its me
there are threads that iv seen that i maybe could help people on here but i dont want to give away to much about me or my life so i dont add to them
shame really as i might have been able to help
sometimes i dont add cus i know il be judged by what iv said

however it could also be used in a bad way i supose

Jac & Kay, sometimes (like recently) it's just where there's discussion threads about subjects 'close to my heart':) so pms wouldn't really work.

Youre stuck between the devil and deep blue sea then or muddy river,,,,}


cant to do it as like you know someone who knew someone ,?!!!

But know where you are coming from,,,,,,,,but if its good sound advise,privatly should be as that private.

Josies other grandad,

Often a post will get delted because they have put it on wrong thread ,or found what they offered has just been advised,or they just didnt like what they had written,,,,or they got things wrong,,,,,,,,

Jac Report 8 Apr 2008 20:09

Josie's Other Grandad - what deletions are you talking about? I've just run through this thread and can see none.

And, if you are talking about me "mocking Ugger's courage" then you, my friend are sadly mistaken.
How little you know.

I find it sad to see a thread dealing with delicate matters that have postings deleted for unknown reasons. Whoever started the thread clearly has more courage than me, and it really is pathetic that some feel it funny to mock that courage.

Jac Report 8 Apr 2008 20:04

Glad to hear that old chap, although Macaroni Cheese is no comparison to Pork Chop is it? ))))

On a serious note, if I feel I can help anyone (and gawd knows it's not often I think I can) then I send them a message off the boards and converse that way. Not that I reveal anything too personal about myself really I supose - I always keep my Umbrella Up! lol
