Reflections on the past year on HIP.

I thought it was poignant to ask now, as we have the lull before New Year.

I have made many new forum friends this past year.
I have sadly lost some, no idea why some just leave.
I have laughed at so many posts, I have been totally shocked, by some threads.

HIP has been through some significant changes, during 2021.
I personally think, for the better.

I look forward to the coming NEW YEAR!

Share your experiences.

Thanks Candy x

 

I think its fair to say an indifferent year .

Only slightly better than 2020 .

The shadow of Covid still hangs over us and others seem to make decisions on our lives but themselves dont follow the rules that they have set .

Its time to accept that Covid will be within the community and live with it rather than trying to hide from it.

I am hopeful for 2022 and provided that my pension figures are correct ,looking forward to semi retirement .

 

I hope so darling. xxx

Of course HIP was very busy during the lockdown.

 

I joined in April of this year..........
I have met some wonderful people here (and came across a few creepy ones too) --- the nice thing is if you happen to ask someone to leave you alone they do!
I've personally learned a lot about myself this year, and learning about different parts of society....... through some very personal stories
I hope that anyone here needs an extra kind word or someone to talk to i'm here!
I love my HIP "family" they are always here for me too

 

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for building a community where manners come first. A place where the members can come and escape the rest of the internet.

 

Yes like me you have bonded with many. I am proud to say you are my friend. x

 

Happy New Year!

 

You have really made HIP fun my lovely. xxxx

 

the rest of the internet? i come here to escape my real life problems

 

Those too but it should be the rest of the internet's duty to take us all away from that stuff.

 

Exercising what some refer to as 'chivalry' is to me merely good manners. I had a very strict mid-victorian up-bringing, but today I am thankful for it.

 

Oh, you have had fun on politics Vlad. lol

 

I was weaned on politics and Trade Unions Candy darlin' - my father was an active Trade Unionist and both my parents were politically active, as too were my Grand-parents, my Grand mother being a 'Match Girl' and a suffragette, she knew both Annie Bessant and Sylvia Pankhurst.

 

Fantastic to know. I think you enjoy this forum so much more than the previous one. xxx

 

It's been an up & down year.... no sexual pun intended. LOL. Had good times, had bad times both here and away from here. Said things I shouldn't, said things I should.

Middle of the road... right where I belong.

 

I'm still in the UNITE Union even though I left the bank many years ago. I was a rep then as well

 

On this one I am allowed to express myself more, but a certain member here and on the other forum spread the word that my political contributions are to be ignored.

 

Politics is about opinion and the opinions of all should be respected .

 

I logged in... I saw some stuff... I mumbled a lot.

 

That is debateable !!!
