MikeB322's bio
Not overly needy, but I think, I am very caring. Looking for companionship & friendship in the first instance. Looks are certainly less important than intellect and a good personality.
Widowed 2 and a half years ago, not looking for a replacement or someone to fill someone else's shoes. I am however looking for someone special and you could be that person. I exercise moderately, go to movies, don't 'eat out' anywhere near enough times.
I am a veteran and a football fan, while important to me I am not ruled by either role. I enjoy delving into family and ancestral history.
I like cuddles & hugs & kisses. Nice conversation and pleasant company.

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Hi Shirley, Happy New Year. I went to bed early watched the bells at midnight and woke up without a hangover. I am my son's carer, He would find it extremely difficult to live independently, so what will happen to him after I pass has preyed on my mind for the past 20 years. Today we had a telephone assessment for Employment Support Allowance which had us stressed to the max but I think we got on ok. His time at school wasn't great despite it having a substantial support department. I find that our children with a 'hidden' disability really get a raw deal. Prepare for confrontations. Tier system? We are on full lockdown. That plus the awful weather has kept me in all week. Hopefully this , plus the vaccine will see an early end to this. I hope that all is well with you. Stay safe.

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Oh Maggie, I know exactly how you feel. I hope that you don't feel that you are leaving Rob behind. The thought of wishing anyone a Happy New Year will obviously go against what you are feeling. In my limited experience next Christmas will be better in that respect although there will still be sadness there. I try to remember the good Christmases that we did have and knowing that she would not want us to feeling sad. I am not too bothered about what 2021 has in store. I can't see it being hugely different. What I want is that at this same time next year we all will be in a position to look ahead with optimism. Take care Maggie, Keep your family as close as you can. MikeViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Hi Maggie I hope that you got through Christmas OK. It's good that you have family near to you. It's just me and my boy here. We had a decent day. Low key obviously but the meal was pretty good. Last Christmas was awful, Just another bad, bad day. This year still difficult but 100 times better. With my 1st wife, we had a daughter born in West Bromwich. I remember buying my wedding suit in the town as well. It was bostin! My ex lived in Warley by Oldbury. I hope that we all can have a better year. take care of yourself and don't get too low. All the best MikeViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Shirley, I'm sorry not to reply sooner. I'm afraid I usually rely on notifications which don't appear to happen on this forum. I will check more frequently. I hope that your Christmas went as well as it could. My lad and I got by and got on OK on the day. It is is a quiet time for us. Only the second Christmas with just the two of us. Alzheimers. Oh dear, I fear things are going to get tougher for you in the coming months & years. It could become all consuming but remember that you have a life to live yourself. Please utilise all the care and services that will be available to you. This week is the time we should be looking ahead to a new year and hopefully new & exciting things. Plan for yourself and then make things fit around those rather than the other way about. easier said than done I know.. Look after yourself. MikeViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Hi Dani, I'll have that bubbly tomorrow , it's my Birthday. The day I should have become an OAP . I think our government just wants us to work until we drop to save paying out pensions at all. Like you I am recently widowed with an adult son living with me. I wouldn't have chosen this either. Covid will not really have any impact on our Christmas at all. It will be just anothe rday , although I will try to make it as special as we can. You take care and best wishes to you and your family during this 'festive' season. MikeViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Shirley, I hope that your Grandson gets better very soon, It must be a terrible worry for you all. pass on my best wishes to your dad for a speedy recovery. I injured my shoulder in August and it is no better now. I think it has developed into a frozen shoulder. I've been referred to the hospital but I won't hold my breath on tha one. I can't say I 've been to Huddersfield, but I have been to Yorkshire a few times. Northumberland is nice - plus it's closer to Scotland. I'm not keen on Edinburgh Waverley at all. Haymarket is better, very basic just two sides. News of the latest restrictions have come through today. We're no further forward than we were in March. Let's hope that the vaccine works. OK, you take care and stay safe and I'll think of you poorly family. MikeViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Hi Maggie, I am so sorry for your very recent loss. 6 months after my wife passed away I was a million miles away from a 'life goes on' attitude. Last Christmas came 5 months afterwards and both it and new year were tough times. A year later it is better but it has to be worked at. With Winter, covid, lockdowns etc it would be very easy to slip backwards - I'm trying hard to not let that happen. I am glad that you have a supportive family. My internet friends have been a great help. My first wife came from the West Midlands - I was serving in the army abroad but spent a bit of time there aver the years. She came from Oldbury, by Smethwick my daughter was born in West Brom. Long time ago now. Stay safe and take care. MikeViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Hi Shirley, I hope that things go well with you and your dad on the day. I put a tree up with as many lights as I can get away with on it. I have some illuminated decorations; a couple of candle bridges; and some telephone box 'snow globe' type things. I don't have hanging decorations. That's about it. It will be very low key here. I will try to make it as special as I can for the two of us and make a decent lunch. I do have Grandchildren but nowhere near here. I think they are ok. Wind and rain? Up Here? never! Take care.ViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Hi Alusru, Thanks for your message. I don't mind my own company but like you , it's nice to talk with someone else sometime. Aye, Fife is a nice place to be. I've been in Lancashire a couple of times briefly. I meet up with an old army pal for reunions. I've missed out on the last two reunions, this year thanks to Covid 19. I'll be glad when 2021 arrives but we won't be getting away from the virus anytime soon. Stay safe and try to enjoy Christmas.ViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Hi Shirley, thanks for your message. Wasn't it Jim Reeves who said a stranger's just a friend you do not now. Oh no too cheesy lol. I can imagine it's been a tough year for you. I live with my son but it often feels like I'm alone too. Steady with the rain comment it's no more than 349 days a year. I'll be glad to share two pennyworths with each other. You don't mind Scottish currency do you? have you got a bubble to enter into for this Christmas? I think I'll just be having a bubble of 2 - less washing up and more mince pies for me. OK, take care & stay safe. Mike from Fife.ViewDate:

New member in Scotland, chose Friendship would also like companionship.Hello ecarg, Thank you for your message. I'd have to say my positivity isn't yet 100%. I feel so much better being able to chat to someone. I did join the dating side but I don't really feel quite ready for that. It's hard to have a conversation trading set 'one liners' and I feel a little scared about being the stuff of someone's dreams. A 100% match on paper doesn't really mean anything . Anyway, I'm Mike, I live in Glenrothes, Fife. I live with my Son who is aged 26. He is on the autistic spectrum but is intelligent, and a know all, lol. He is OK really but is a bit vulnerable. I spend too much time on my PC but my hobbies are pretty much internet based. Main hobby currently is doing family tree research. I follow Raith Rovers Football team which sometimes gets me down to Burn's country when the coronavirus isn't on the go. OK, that's enough from me. I'll think of some things to ask you for later. Stay safe during this awful time. Mike. -
