People who will remain constant

I will tell you what I need, what I really, really need, one or more people to be there, for me to really talk to about things and problems, that need input, that will answer questions and throw in suggestions of how to deal with "will be better sorted with advice and general friendly advice of ...why not try this "?


I miss not having pals who would always show me directions to try ...something no one can do on their own, try as I may, the walls close in, my brain closes down, and the fight just gives up.


Not me at all, but with no one to toss problems around with, I give in. My sense of humour usually sees me through most situations, thank goodness .. There you have it, this is not a begging whinging request, but, there must be a few hundred people who are in the same "boat " The VIRTUAL kettle is on ..Milk and sugar ????

Hi. My name is Leila and I live in London. I lost my husband in October 2021 so I'm having to get used to living on my one. Not easy after 61 years of marriage. I've got 2 sons, 5 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. I love going to the ballet,reading, doing crosswords and listening to music. I also play Scrabble on line. Very addictive. Be nice to have a chat friend. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi. Sorry for not replying sooner. I've got my grandson staying with me but today he's gone to Birmingham to watch arsenal play Aston villa so a bit of a respite.
He lives in Wales with his wife and toddler son so it's nice to see him.
Sorry for swearing at you with the dreaded housework word. . It is a pain.
Hope you are well
Best wishes
Leila

Hello ,,I really can't call you loveflower... gimme a break !!!! either ,,,love ,,, or flower ,,funnily
enough both words are Yorkshire names of endearment. It's just gone 6pm here , and dark, I
do hate these long dark days . I am an orphan ,,quite an old one, but family life passed me by .
I would have loved having a dad , he died when I was six months old, My biological mother .was, just that ,so ,,no hugs and kisses from there .Happily. I did not follow in her footsteps I love hugging people and dogs ,and horses ,I even send virtual hugs.So I do envy you having lots
of family .i'm starting to sound a tad boring ,but I do have an extreme sense of humour .which
gets me through most situations .So ..here I am ,Flower ??? Love ???? write back ,
Ariadne
