Thanks Doreen.
I'm a very lonely person and therefore I can get very attached to online posters. I wouldn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable so I'll observe and sit back until I feel I can open up a bit. You know websites like this can be a Godsend to depressed folk but you have to pace yourslf. lol

I am alone but I am not lonely.
Well not quite alone as my 2 adult children both live just round the corner.
The advantage of living alone is that I can do what I want when I want and how I want.
I devour all the news from around the world but I can't be bothered with all those Television
soap programs.
I cook fantastic meals for myself and then perhaps the next day eat a plate of porridge and enjoy it.
Living in this old big house, I have plenty of room. I am always making something.
At the moment I am planning an Orchidarium and am waiting for the delivery of a Glass terrarium.
So I am studying Orchids. Interesting.
I must not forget to tell that I have a little bit of New Zealand in my house… An Ashford spinning wheel..
It is rather dusty at the moment but I did once spin wool and knitted a warm Jacket.
Why shouldn't one have Forum friends. I have.
Cider and Robin are mine. They have often helped me when I had problems with GS in the past.
Gerald and Annmarie, our 2 Administrators have been more than kind when I got involved in this last dispute.
I should have followed GS back to his Forum and didn't.

Hi Doreen,
I think I am the opposite to you LOL or my situation is.
I am surrounded by people who love and need me but there have been so many problems, physical, emotional and mental with all these inter-related people that I am exhausted and bereft of solutions. The conflicts are not going to be resolved EVER and I am always giving out and my tank is now empty. If it wasn't for the innocent parties involved I would be tempted to run away to an island somewhere and write my autobiography, but it's not in me to be that selfish. Consequently I struggle on with counselling and medication hoping for a miracle.
Sorry to sound so negative, I'm just so tired of it all.
I don't know what you are referring to but I'm glad that your friends helped you through it all. At the moment I suspect that all my dear friends are sick and tired of all my woes and I have to make a concerted effort to keep my lips zipped.
Oh well, what cannot be cured must be endured as they say!
LOL

Shazza, your post doesn't make for good reading. May I be bold enough to suggest you give thought to reserving your concerns for others and concentrate on the most important person of all … you.
I have also just gone though a patch I would rather not repeat, a simple operation that went horribly wrong. At my age I was not in condition to handle this too well, but oddly something helped 'Me' get through. I learned and accepted to take things easily, I learned not to hurry and follow the advice (orders) of my wife. Only today I discovered the meaning to the expression 'Don't over do it', the word 'it' had me baffled. For the last two months I have been virtually house bound, even when I went to Hawkes Bay for the weekend, I stayed mostly indoors. Today I went to Rotorua, a city that is about 1000 ft above sea level, and five degrees colder than where I live. After only a few minutes I discovered exactly what the 'if' is and didn't like it one single bit. 
This has strengthened my resolve to take things very easily, I had planned to be better by the end of June, this has now been revised. I will wait until my body tells me I am strong enough and something tells me that is a while away yet.
Can you kindly send over some warm weather, at present it would do me the world of good. 
I would love to bask in the sun … that is if my wife would let me.

Dear Mr Administrator we need a new Thread.
an “Aunty Martha” you know like these Magazines ,where you can write in
and ask “what shall I do?”. .
I doubt if any of us are without problems and whatever their size they are for us
bigger than big…
Perhaps when we stop and look at the Global problems and many Man-made.
And when we can sit outside, and the sun is shining we can be grateful for what we have.
Me, I have no religion just a philosophical way of thinking.

Hi Doreen. We did think of having a category on the site called “Ask Ann where people could write in with their problems but when I thought of it a couple of months ago I was thinking more in terms of garden and hobbies rather than life problems. I like 'ME's idea “Dear Doreen”. We can all ask you our questions. I'm sure you will give us a no nonsense reply.
I agree with 'ME', since I was ill you need to think of yourself first. I tell my family what I think and have it all out in the open and they can take it or leave it I don't care. Life's too short to have problems hanging around.
You are right 'Me', don't over do it. You will have good days and you will have bad days just do what you can. I found if you over do it, it takes longer to get better. Even now if I over do it one day it can take me days to get back to normal. So in the long run less is more

Glad to hear that you are opposite from me Shazza.
That is for you a plus point in your sad situation.
Watch the medication that could be a bigger problem.

Dear Aunt Martha, I seem to have developed some dreadful problems with my plumbing. My waste water no longer flows as it used to, and the down-pipe has developed a blockage.
My question is: I'm on limited income and plumbers in New Zealand are very expensive, have you any ideas that may help cure the problems.
I do hope you can help.
Signed: Concerned. Bay of Plenty. New Zealand.

Dear Aunty Martha,
Yes, the medication is scary. It's scary to be on it but more scary to think about coming off.

Hell-o I am Aunty Martha's errand boy. She said give them both ticket 101..
That is rub 1 teaspoon of Fresh Autumn Honey in to the Injured parts.
That is a sure cure for Plumbingosis and Scari-bisms.
Aunty Martha has to rush out to a very bad case of Orchiditis and wont be home
until the lights dim out.
