DJ360 5,522 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 As far as I can tell..Jim hasn't visited since last Saturday. I do hope he is Ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 1,448 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I miss his posts as well, I do hope he is OK and starts posting again soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 8,977 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 He last posted on 19th December but has logged in a number of times since then, the most recent - as Col said - being last Saturday. I think it would be more worrying if he hadn't logged in at all since his last post....but that isn't the case. Maybe he's just having a break from saying anything - or can't think of anything to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 6,655 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Have we all explained to our nearest and dearest how to access Nottstalgia in case we are seriously incapacitated (or worse). ? We have emails belonging to a couple of members so Paul would probably communicate in that way to tell you about me .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 8,521 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Maybe Brew has had his hernia sorted out and been temporarily incapacitated? If I drop dead, one of my cats will post a message requesting someone who is cat friendly to open a tin. Granville, fetch your tin opener! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 2,878 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I reckon Col is missing his sparring partner. I don't think any of us could keep up with pair of them. I know I'm left dumbfounded sometimes, but then again, thats's nowt new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 2,780 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I sincerely hope that Brew is OK. I'm sure he has plenty to say when he is ready. I miss his common sense and analytical debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 8,710 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I sent Brew a PM on 30th December to check if he was OK and he’s still not read the message. Mind you I can hardly see that I have messages/notifications due to the change of colour of the symbols up top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,878 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Change your theme to 'default Lizzie, then you have a white background with just the logo in colour. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 8,710 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I’m certain I have missed something on here in the past week or so, I know the new set-up has been discussed but my mind fogs over and I don’t bother reading the comments. Can you tell me in very simple terms what I need to do please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,878 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 That's ironic . A comparative apprentice explaining to a teacher... First off, are you on old school theme, I.e a parchment colour background with dark brown at top of page? If so, you need to go right to the bottom of the page, where it says theme...private policy....contact us. Cli ck on theme and it will give you an options box. Click on the top one, "default". ( if you're on old school it will show in this options box with a tick). Hey Presto ! You're done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I keep meaning to make a will and also to leave a simple note regarding such stuff. A few very fine members of other forums I frequent have left us. and their families have posted to give info. Others have just disappeared.. without any obituary... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,341 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Making a will is an essential. The surviving spouse will not necessarily inherit all of the deceased's estate if there are children, under the rules of intestacy. Also consider a Power of Attorney. See a proper solicitor, not one of those organisations that offer cheap wills. Make a 'mirror will' between husband and wife. Doing all of this will prevent problems for the family.

Jill Sparrow 8,521 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 As to my cats, of course they would probably do so. They never turn their noses up at a tasty morsel and I've often been told I'm a tasty morsel!! cats have initiative. I've no time for anyone who doesn't. Poor old Brew. Reading about Wills and administration of estates. It's going to depress him if he's feeling a bit below par anyway. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,341 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Every adult should make a will. Don't leave everything for the family to sort out, that's when the fighting starts. It can also start if you have made a will of course, especially if a member was dependent upon you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 4,341 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Pets can’t legally receive an inheritance. You can make provision for a named party to look after them if they are in agreement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 8,977 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 I've emailed Brew using his external email address (not connected to Nottstalgia) in case there was a problem with logging in to his account, or the recent software update. I'll report on any developments. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
