And I've just learned I did well in the short story competition too...that was a real buzz! Thanks Grownups....you're great. P

by Dave/GrownUps 1st September 2008 It really is wonderful to see so many people enjoying the site. We work hard to bring you everything you see on GrownUps, and it is well worth the effort when we read your feedback. Thank you all so much for your kind comments. The GrownUps Team
by squidge 6th September 2008 Lots to see on this site, well put together and easy to navigate. I am convinced that I will spend more time on here than I should, but who cares, we are 'retired' so we really only have ourselves to please, and our 2 elderly cats, and ofcourse our 'live at home, stay at home' adult son. He is very useful though as he has found me some great sites since I started using the computor. All have our own setup so we never fight. Whoops, filled the box so better say thanks once again and Byee, Squidge.
by icarusweeping 8th September 2008 Lots of fun here even if it isn't the best site to navigate around. Anyone interested in writing poetry and short stories please shoot me an email. Maybe we can convince the organisers that we need a literary page, Cheers, John

by Arty23 23rd October 2008 I find this website very interesting and informative
by MaryLouise 23rd October 2008 I am really enjoying this great site too...something for everyone and then you can start something off yourself if its not there. I have told so many people about 'Grownups' even Phil Goughs(Goffs?) receptionist the other day when I rang about his book (article in Wed Herald) he'd done for his local constituants (good helpful information for superannuants)...Now that might be good publicity for us at Grownups.
by bigdada 29th October 2008 I have just joined this site.Looks very promising judging from the feedback.Look forward to getting to talk with some of you,in near future. Think its great somewhere we grey haireds can go.Thank You.

by cybernan 1st November 2008 Belonged to Grownups for a few years now. Just love the games & do most of them every day. Have found fellow bell collectors here, too. Also won a cd from coast radio thru here. Not enough hours in the day now! Nearly 66 (this month) & my computer has helped me keep my mind active.....pity about the rest of me ;-). Thanks Grownup team for a wonderful site.
by Sabra 31st December 2008 Gosh! so great to have a site that is informative, fun and lots going on. I joined about a year ago, and was so impressed,the fact that there is no foul language and that REAL grown ups come here, is especially a bonus. Thank you Grown up team for keeping the fresh ideas coming.
by oldcoot 6th January 2009 Just found this area where comments are posted. Really interesting and I must say that i enjoy this website of Grownups so many things to enjoy,eg competitions, informative about gardening problems, puzzles etc etc. I look forward to the new website as it develops.
by gypsyglen 7th January 2009 great site and I must remember to visit more often. Can never find anyone in the chat room though? Anyone on here from Hamilton in their 60's?
by Robdan 20th January 2009 Great interesting site - I especially love the anticipation of entering the compititons and eagerly await winning....... keep up the great work.
by minkie 20th January 2009 Great site. Especially enjoy the live chats
by bobsm8 11th February 2009 I'm a newbie to this site and em enjoying it tremendously. So refreshing not to have the scatty chat of the younger generation.
by phiddy 24th February 2009 Hi even tho I have been a member of 'Grownups' for quite a long time now, I have never really been able to investigate and read what it is all about. I suffer with a couple of rare medical conditions and one had been affecting my eye sight and I was not able to read for very long, now that I have got a talking puter I am able to find out what is happening around New Zealand more. From what I have heard today I will be listening to 'Grownups' more each day. Thank you for a great site.
by Koi 10th March 2009 Hi I'm a newbie and love this site already. Thanks Grownup
by Missie Boo 13th March 2009 Grownups is a marvellous site good to browse find new information can become an addictive adventure, games are kool, love the kiwiana and what is on offer.
by dawnjem 18th March 2009 I have been looking for a website that has things to do for people around my age. Finally have a website which is for people like me who are sick of "young age" websites.
by drummer47 3rd April 2009 Good site for us grown ups. I love doing the crosswords and jigsaws. Shame there's so many ads and pop ups though.
by Kellee 6th April 2009 I'm actually 31, and found this website while looking for code crackers online. I love it! I'm on every day looking for new ones, as well as the jigsaw. Good on whoever thought this idea up!
by Dave/GrownUps 8th April 2009 Hi Drummer47. Thanks for your comments. However GrownUps does not have any pop-up ads - if you are experiencing pop-ups this will be something your computer has picked up from another site. These ads are very annoying at the least and can be malicious at worst, we would recommend that you upgrade your anti-virus software to combat this. Thanks and please enjoy the site!
by goldie23 14th April 2009 Hi.I'm rodibobo th 82 y.o. teenager who recently joined up just for fun. Anybody out there got a good yarn to tell. At our library we have a storytellers club. Meet once a month. There's a lot of talent about and it only needs bringing out. Last month we split up into little groups and had to act out the story of the three little pigs--sound silly? Jeez I tell ya we had some good laughs. With only 5mins prep we made a real hash of it but some others did a great job. It did me a world of good. Bless U all...
by P.l.g.m13 14th April 2009 hi Im Pam and love this site.Also new to computers and still learning heaps of things.Im 53 and its good to be intouch with people.I work long hours and 12days on and 2 off so dont get out and do anything so this site is going to be my life line so thankyou grownups.

by mcash2go 27th April 2009 have just joined GROWNUPS and am looking forward to reading news and chit chat from others around my age
by Mol 5th May 2009 Whenever I go on to the site I find something new. It is a fascinating and time-filling (not wasting) place to spend a few hours!!
by Jeremiah 12th May 2009 Hello just wanted to say how mucn I enjoy GrownUps. I love reading the stories and poems and it gives me a chance to share my poems and stories also. I especially enjoy reading the comments. Thanks again to all
by hiakitty3 31st May 2009 Kia ora. I have only been on this site for 2 days and I reckon its awsome. Im 48 and been on facebook and Bebo. I pulled out of facebook cause it was a pain in da butt and thinking of coming out of Bebo. I feel that this site is more relaxing and enjoyable, no CONGRATULATIONS site that says You Won, etc. I can't believe how cheap the busfare is, Woolworths and the games great. Tell me something, Are the games repeat? If so, can they be updated since Codeword repeats the games that I played before. Enjoy everyone, I really love this site. Ka kite ano

by father 3rd August 2009 good to have somthing us oldies can go on cheers neil in blenheim
by Alice53 5th August 2009 Just signed up, wish there had been more advertising about this site, I think even more would join, but I am so delighted to have found it during my constant roaming the net. It's not only full of very useful info but also competions, fun to be on and nice to hear about other 50+ people enjoying life while sick of people (sorry but mainly 30's/40's) telling you to stop living your life to the full and grow old gracefully - what is that really, I really don't know. But I want to wake up each day wanting to live life to the full, to feel alive and do new and different things not just wait to die. I'm glad I have found this site - to find like people.........
by Sparkym 7th August 2009 Great site, like many others wish I found it sooner. Thank you
by Vimp 10th August 2009 Great to have a "full time" garden columnis on the team. Very topical with the push for growing our own vegs., fruit and berries.Would be pleased if articles can include conditions suitable for all of NZ and not just the northern part please?
by armless 28th August 2009 Great site. Would love to see some cryptic crosswords.
by GranE 7th September 2009 it is a great site, I'd like to see the newest comments at the top of the page though, had to wonder that the oldest at the bottom, I thought no one was interested until i got to the bottom! GranE

by passionprice 20th September 2009 just joined up, am enjoying the games and puzzels, great fun
by Whynot 27th September 2009 I am very disappointed in Grownups. I entered the GrownUps Design Competition way back in April this year. This involved much more than the usual amount of work as the requirements were to design a bumper sticker and/or/polo shirt and/or badge. Despite a number of emails and promises that a winner would be announced, I am still waiting the result. It's not the prize that is my concern (anything could be substituted if this had become a problem), but the fact that any entrants would have spent time and effort on this competition. Poor show GrownUps!
by Dave/GrownUps 30th September 2009 Hi Whynot, The winners for this competition were announced earlier in the year in the Community Connection Newsletter sent out on the 26th of May. This is standard for most of our competitions. You can also find a copy of all the entries on GrownUps. Kind regards.
by nicola_1975 2nd October 2009 The competitions on here are great :)
by Tekkik 11th October 2009 Hi, Thanks "Grownups" for my flight sox. When I entered the competition I had just decided that at the age of 84 & having lost my husband after almost 60 years of marriage if I was going to "do" something I had better get cracking. Saw the competition & entered but it also put the idea in my head of travel. Well I've been!!! Family were dumbfounded but I booked a flight with Emirates & on my own flew to England for 5 weeks. I was so well looked after on the plane & stayed with friends. Now I have just received a pair of flight sox & well I can't leave them in my drawer so hopefully I will head off somewhere else so I can use them. So thankyou Grownups - you were the inspiration & other over 80's out there take the chance like I did & have fun.

by Dave/GrownUps 21st October 2009 Hi Rockingmum - according to the NZ Senior Card website, you have to be 55+ to apply for the card.
