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!I did send you a PM the other day, not sure if it came through though.

Re: Hello from the UK
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!Sierras wrote: Sun Aug 01, 2021 9:26 am Welcome, Partisan!
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you really enjoy your time here. I agree the Cartwrights are family.![]()

Re: Hello from the UK
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.Oxgirl wrote: Sun Aug 01, 2021 12:52 pmWeird, I've resent now.Partisan wrote: Sun Aug 01, 2021 11:59 amI just checked, but no my PM is empty.
