THE MORE, WE ARE, TOGETHER
      #502712 - 07/11/2009 17:45

Good Evening Ladies,

Hope you will forgive me, but I am in reflective mood tonight.

I think we all like to be popular, dont you?

We like to be liked, if not by everyone, certainly by a few trusted friends, and our families.

It must be awful, never to have a friend, or family, or just someone you can lift up a phone to, and have a natter.

The person who says they couldnt care less, whether anyone cares for them, I fear is not telling the truth, I know I would hate not to have anyone, who cared for me, and would hate not to have people in my life that I care about.

I am just thinking about my life before I joined this forum, I had family, and certainly some friends, who lived around the globe, and a distance away, but now I have friends, I can chat to on the phone, and know they are always there, and do you know something, that really makes me happy.

Plasmo x

That is lovely Plasmo. Yes you are right it is nice to be able to do this. Up till I joined the forum I had one friend that I use to be able to do this with but she has decided that emails are better as she is out and about a lot.

Unfortunately because of my hearing difficulties I find phones very hard to deal with so I never make or have phone calls and feel that I am really missing out.

Hi Plazzie
It's nice to look back and see how life has changed. I am really pleased to have joined the forum. I love chatting to everyone regularly and also meeting some of you at lunch and supper clubs. I truly feel you have all enriched my life.

Hi Thimble
Nice to see you posting again. I think I got a glimpse of a butterfly's wing.....

Take care
Foxie x.

Hi Thimble and Foxy,

Thimble have you thought of having Skype put on your laptop? it is really easy to set up, it might just make a difference for you. I know you have difficulty with your hearing, but if you have an inbuilt microphone, you could alter the volume.

Foxie, your little fox always makes me smile.

I couldn't imagine my life without friends. I have friends going back 35 years that have always been there for me and then new friends I have met along the way. I have a very good friend who e-mails me every day. When good things happen they are happy for me and when sad things happen the way they rally round is just amazing. I feel very blessed to have a really good circle of friends. I also love the friendship on the forum and have been chatting to so many lovely ladies since I joined in Jan.

Hi PLasmo,I agree thank goodness for this forum and the kindness and support many of us have had when going through difficulties in our lives.

Thimble I do understand your difficulties re hearing as My Yd wears aids and has done from a Young child.

Hello everyone....I live a long way from home (Saudi Arabia because of my husbands work), I have a great life, but I always miss being home in the UK(I get home once a year every summer) I only joined the forum a few weeks ago, and it has been so wonderful to chat to you all and hear what you are up to. When I read posts about someone having a lovely drive and seeing the trees changing to their autumn colours, or hearing about supper clubs in places I know, it brings home a little bit closer. Even hearing about what you are doing at home...because its raining...again !!.....dear old England, it never changes. You all make me feel I am not so very far away..and that really gives me a lot of comfort. Row

Plasmo

I love this forum, chatting to people has been great. I am quite shy so don't post very much just answer others. It is quite addictive and I do try to get on every day. The forum has changed my life since I have been on it. I have been to a Book Club and am looking forward to going to my first supper club.

Thanks again ladies.

I love the support we give each other and I am needing my fair share of it at the moment.
Thanks/

It is good in so many ways - support, laughter, female company really when I only see men or children all day.
I hope things go well for you Biker-babe. Big Hug!
