I'm back! Been out with Mum all day. Took her to B&Q garden centre, Then my house for lunch. Off to see Dad then we took him out for a walk. On the way back to the hospital a heal fell off Mums shoe. So she limped back!! I took her to Brantana on the way home and parted her from some more money for shoes! Then over to Asda living to part her from some more.
So all happy.

I wonder if anyone fancies listing all their worries anxieties and fears, and send them to me!! At the click of a mouse send some of the worry away. What do you all think?

Evening everyone.

Hi Carole, glad to see things are ok at your end

:o)

jeannie, good to see you on here. Please feel free to unload on us if you have a bad day. I am fortunate as I don't (to date) suffer with depression, just get a bit down and fed up sometimes with my bad back. But these lovely people have supported me through an operation this year and I don't know where i would have been without them. they are all wonderful.

Deanna, let us hope it has now passed then and that you enjoy your tea. Shan't see you tomorrow as i will be on the way to the lake district but will speak when we return next friday. i hope by then our friend Joyce will be back with us and that YCaz's tootsies are better.
eileen, sorry you have had a bad week. hopefully, although you feel you could do without it at the moment, having your grandson to look after will give you the lift you need.

Elaine, Even though your daughter is innocent I wonder if she would be better off getting a solicitor, presumable she qualifies for legal aid. You read of things going wrong and a solicitor would guard against that.

Hi everyone,
Welcome to the newbees even just writing your anx. and worries on here i find helps to lessen them because you know that everybody else is sure to understand and there is always somebody that you can "talk" to privately if needs be.
Liz I do not even know a lot of those plants that you mentioned, i sometimes buy flowers and roses plant them and a few weeks later my husband the "gardener" that knows all about gardening has pulled them up because they are "weeds".
Carole you must be releived that you dads health is starting to pull up even if it is slowly. How is your friend? did she have her tests done, hope that the sickness and bleeding has subsided by now.
Farmer Giles it is good to see you on again.
Ycaz hope you are better soon.
Deena hope that your husband Allan is on the mend.
Eileen enjoy your trip to Amterdam and your grandson.
Carolina thank you and keep well.
Elaine hope that you are well, my daughter that was assaulted has not heard anymore from the police yet.
I think that your daughter needs a solicitor as he would be able to gather more information and present it to the judge.
Ann in Glos enjoy your holiday.
Joyce hope you get back on soon again.
To everyone else thinking of you. My brain is so fizzled or should that be frazzled tonight i am using phonics to get through the posting. Hope that is working and you all understand my posting.
Bless,
Betty.

Hi Betty and all, I admire those of you who can send individual messags to everyone. If your brain is frazzled and you can do that Betty, I don't know what state my brain is in cos I can't think straight tonight, am so tired.
Just want to say have a good weekend everyone and hope you can push aside sadness and low feelings if the weather brightens up to help you through the days.
love and hugs
Lizx

Lovely day for Carole's holiday... lets pray that it lasts for them.

Snow white, you have come to the right place.
We are all in need of a friendly ear.

Late up today, my sister just phoned I was still in bed thinking of getting up! Couldn't stop yawning!

My friend had her endoscopy yesterday and they could find no reason for her being sick. She now has a drip 24 hour meds, and caries round a bag in her hand bag. Still being sick though. She did sound a little better in herself last night.

WHO ARE WE?


Names, some with faces
That's who we are
Many live close,
A few, too far

Some of us, lonely
Others lost in grief
Many, tired and tested
Their passing, brief

Worries are many
Ailments, so diverse
Sufferers among us
Desperate to converse

A few in wheelchairs
Others, zimmers or canes
To assist our daily needs?
These are not our chains!

Desperate crew we may appear
Some aged, many unsteady
Yet strength within us lay
Our motto, 'stand ready'

We see grace in others
Which they have yet to see
Responsive to other soul mates?
They listen to their need

Potential beneath their failings
To stop, stand and beware
Just maybe they can cope
If someone out there cares

A comfort for others
During drawnout nights
That is our simple aim
To ensure that all is right

The lonely, lost and needy
Start out, unsteady step
Then blossom into humans
To pass their own fear test

On board there are teenagers
Wives and husbands too
The single, divorced and grannies
But to mention a few

Diverse are our talents
Writers, carers and clowns
Poets, gardeners, housewives
Our talents abound

Along with the postings
Come laughter and tears
Of family history
Glimpses of lost years

What transpired is amazing
True magic indeed
From a single thread started
It gave birth to a breed

Of human compassion
Second to none
All, willing to share
Our work never done

Where else indeed, a place to be
Where you finally feel at home
Amongst this thread of ours
You will never be alone


Dedicated to all members past and present.

Joyce that is wonderful. What a clever lady xxx

Joyce,

Thank you for that, everything in it is so true and each of us will find something that relates to us personally.

I'm not trying to advertize but wondered if any of you had looked at my thread about narcissistic mothers.I have,in the past,been prescribed tranquilizers and anti-depressants when all I really needed was a dose of what vet's use for my mother.I realize now that I probably wasn't clinically depressed but quite justifiably desperately unhappy and frustrated.I haven't had any depression since she died.Feel a bit down sometimes and wait for the familiar despair to slide in and it feels pretty damned strange when it doesn't,like something I've had all my life is gone.
Good luck to you all.

JP...... is that where you have been
Writing poetry??

Glad you are back....x

Claddagh.... I have no ill effects with my 40 gms of Omeprazole, but I am only on that dose while I am on the iron tablets. I will go back to 20mgs when I stop the iron in a couple of months probably.

I have to go and watch MR.&Mrs. but I will be back.
love,
Deanna XX

To one and all xxx

At the moment I am only with you in spirit but do not fret.... because I shall bounce back to you very soon, just like the proverbial bad penny xx

Sleep tight,

JoyceP xxxxx

I looked at Sharons site (thanks for mentioning it here Sharon) it certainly makes some sense to me.
I'm taking a copy of a article to my next appointment with my phychologist Wednesday.

Catch you all tomorrow, I'm too tired tonight, and my aches from gardening the other evening are letting me know not to forget them !

???????????? no one been here ?????????

Thanks for your kind thoughts everyone.I am off to Amsterdam in another few hours, won't be back until tuesday with grandson, so may not be able to post for a while.
In the meantime, I am going to delete my posts, don't want my children to see how I am feeling, IF 'something should happen to me'.

What a beautiful poem joyce has wrote, my daughter the other day has received a merit in a poem she has wrote and its being published. She was entered it at school and this is the second time a poem of hers has been published. The first one was at junior school. Now she is at senior school, the day I felt a bit weepy in the afternoon a letter came telling me her work was being published it really picked me up and Iam so proud of her. I read the article that sharon mentioned. Thanks for that. sharron. carole have a nice holiday. carole thanks for listening. Deana and ann thanks for being so caring too. Elaine sorry to hear about your daughter. Love to everyone else I forgot to mention. shaz

Of course,we won't ever be confused will we?
