Thank you, Oxgirl. It is nice to talk to people because Covid's been so isolating. Roy and I were handling it together and when he died things kinda went pear-shaped. You get out of the habit of actually talking to people and humans were not made to live in seclusion. People like you are so friendly and welcoming it's a pleasure to come back to the site. I've befriended you - I think that's what it's called, befriending? - although idk what that actually does!
:hugs Isolation is so damaging and contact with others is just so important, do keep reaching out. To suddenly find yourself without Roy after all those years is a massive trauma for you.
I don't know what 'brefriending' is either! :laughing I did send you a PM the other day, not sure if it came through though. :thumbup
Oh, I'll check. And of course we've got YT too ;D

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you really enjoy your time here. I agree the Cartwrights are family. :hugs

:welcome :welcometoboomers :ranch2
Lovely to talk to so many Americans, Canadians and Brits. I live in quite a small community, an island, so it's not exactly metropolitan. It's nice to get interaction with the wider world!

I've got it now. I went onto the Brands one under the name "Stradivarius" and I think I've talked to you on that one. So many thanks, Oxgirl, it's a great site.
