Welcome to The Bluestocking, the best (perhaps only) online women's pub. Nothing in the food or drink can harm you, everything is served by a very enthusiastic crew of gerbils, who enjoy doing this and other interesting things. Any curious menfolk are welcome at the Staunch Ally down the road.

I think it was me who waved her off. Maybe AI picked up AsWithGlad as she started this thread.

I'm (even more) glad that you wrote that, because I couldn't remember being mentioned in the Gosie stories. If I had forgotten something of such significance then I'm racing towards old-age-decline faster than I thought.

I tested MN's Advanced Search buttons as best I could, and - although I couldn't find anything relevant to me and to France - I was reminded of many happy events here in The Bluestocking.

But I hadn't forgotten! Hurray and much rejoicing!

I agree that AI most probably just picked up on who'd started the most recent threads - that's what I had imagined, anyway.

Fingers (ok feathers) crossed for you @MyrtleLion.

Good luck, Myrtle!
Everything crossed for you.

EmpressaurusKitty · 12/10/2026 08:18

Can people cross things for me too? I’m not going to go into detail but it’s to do with family illness & I’d appreciate the Bluey backup.

And I hope all those still struggling with lurgies and other health-related problems are feeling better.

I so crossed I'm tied in a knot.
Wishing you and yours well, Empress.

As for the weather... I'm making soup.

Good luck, warm wishes and kind thoughts to those in need this morning, from rainy (huzzah) Dorset. The wood pigeons are happy, they love a good shower.

Love to Myrtle 💙& the Empress. 💙

MyrtleLion · 12/10/2026 12:02

It went well! But some questions were surprising and I didn’t see how they were relevant to the role.

I should get some feedback today or tomorrow.

Thank you for your support 💙
