Look, I don't think this woman is elderly, nor is she in a nursing home. If I remember correctly Jules met this woman at the nursing home because her mother is a resident. (Met while Jules' father was a resident).

The woman is somewhat older than Jules, but not elderly. Jules has taken both the woman and her mother (the resident of the nursing home) out before. I believe Jules treated them to lunch on Mother's Day at the Red Lobster.

We can speculate on scenarios all we want, but it doesn't make them true.

I can understand why Jules was somewhat disappointed.

As far as Jules being shown on the members list, that doesn't mean anything. I never sign out, doesn't mean I am physically here.

I hope Jules has enjoyed the remainder of her day with Mia.

The lady is in need of a walker & can't drive. & tried to do a kindness. & if you show up on the Members Online it means you've been signed in & checking, it was talked about on another thread a few months ago.But yes I said in one of my posts we only know 1 side of the story

No, it doesn't mean that at all. I frequently leave myself signed in for hours while i attend to other things in the house, or I open another window online to write or take care of business online.

Yes it does. Ask some of the techies.It means you're signed in & did something on the site (:

Nope, it does not. I do it all the time. I've even forgotten it was on and left the house.

If I am posting or reading at 11:30 pm and go to bed I am still signed in at 8:30 am. I can leave here to run errands for several hours and I am still signed in when I get back.

Me, too. I don't think I've left it on all night, though. DH would notice and probably turn it off if I had.

She's over 55 - she got the senior discount.

So am I. The minute you sign in, your name is on the list and it stays there as long as you are on and longer.

It even stays there after you sign out. Maybe up to half an hour, that's what it used to take to drop from the list. TRY IT tonight. Sign out, go back 5, 10 minutes later (or longer) and you will see your name is still up there.

If your name is on the list, all it means is that you are signed in and didn't sign out.

What do you mean "you did something here"? {#emotions_dlg.confused1}

I know that. We agree! That's what I said. Jules nic on the list means she was signed in for a while & at least reading (:
