Hello to all members

I have joined Silversurfers because I am lonely in these uncertain times.


I am not very good with grammar or technology so I hope you will all excuse my errors.


I would be grateful of a chat with anyone, hope everyone is doing well in these strange times  🙂 my son has just taught me how to do an emoji, hope you like it!

Hi!
I'm new to this site as well!
Well, we are all living in lonely times, aren't we? Pandemic and all that. However, I have been looking for someone to chat with. JUST CHAT! How's that? I was thinking it would be really great just to be able to talk with people. The more I stay at home, the more I WANT to stay at home and I don't think that is such a good idea. I am single and live high on a mountaintop in the Southern United States. It would be great to have a "pen pal" on line! No.Strings.Attached.
Blessings!

I love to write and paint and spend many hours doing both - alone. Would be great to chat with you!

Hi Jo, I know how you feel, the longer you are in the house the harder it becomes to think of going back out again. I live in the Midlands in the UK and living high on a mountaintop sounds lovely sounds a great place to be

Hello!

My friends who are "homebodies" are not finding it hard to enjoy themselves during the pandemic. They are happy to avoid crowds and enjoy peace at home. I on the other hand, am a bit of an extrovert so I miss the connection with others.
Hope you all are well and finding contentment in each day.

Hi everybody, I've just joined and live in South Wales. it would be nice to chat to others that are isolated. I live on my own, my grown up children don't live near and I haven't made any friends even though I've been here 4 years. I was about to join clubs and support groups when covid began so I've been isolated since it began.
I only have my cats to talk to, I'm a rescuer and fosterer of cats but they don't give a good conversation!
Please rescue me.

Hi Chris, thank you for your message. Yes it's a strange time though it hasn't changed much for me. It would be nice to meet up with people occasionally for a walk or a coffee. Whereabouts are you? I'm in the Rhondda. What do you do with your time? I had my last 2 foster cats adopted today so I'm pleased they now have good homes.
Kind regards
Jamie

I too am feeling very lonely and finding life quite difficult at the moment. Each day is just like the one before with only phone calls to friends and occasional visits from my son to break the monotony. I used to enjoy writing and was part of a little writers' group but since it had to break up because of the obvious I can't seem to get motivated into doing any at home. Would love to start chatting to someone different as my world at the moment has shrunk so much I've forgotten what it feels like to be part of the outside world.
Hope you are well.

I'm new too, I'm also finding the longer I'm at home I don't want to go out. I would love to just chat with anyone as I'm beginning to feel a bit isolated with the ongoing pandemic!

Linda, I am beginning to feel the same way. I am highly sociable, it has been a challenge. A difficult time for everyone. Thank you.

Hi
How nice to meet you. I am also feeling the need to meet others in these isolating times. I am actually sitting here drinking my morning coffee reaching out to you. I think this will be my time to log on to the Silversurfers forum most days.
My grown daughters are teaching me about emojis, apparently there are some that I used not knowing that they have a meaning I did not understand Hah! Hah!
These days have given us time, sometimes too much time to be introspective but I think, in my case, it has been a good thing. I so look forward to the days when the virus will be less of a threat. The first thing I will do is go to gathering where there is live music.
