    The incredible Miriam Margolyes. Not just a superb actor but also a wonderful raconteur and a kind, warm and delightful person. Our world is a finer place while she's a part of it.

    HOW TRUE THIS IS!! Here, in America, Too!! Every Holiday is "Just Another Day"!!
    ALL the years We spent, being Daughters, Wives, Mothers, Sisters, Employees, FOR WHAT?? 😢 To spend Our OldER Years sitting here, ALONE?? It Was NOT Worth It. 😩💔

      @Donna K ....yeah a lot of kids do their own thing and are busy, especially any who marry and have to pay their mortgage. I heard a man not so long ago saying your kids do their own thing and it is lonely,and a woman in a rest home who only had one son and he was living in another country. I think how can a kid want to leave the city of their parents and live in another country. It is wierd (except say in a situation where a parent was abusive).

      @Cherell LOVE ....hi Cherell and thanks a lot. I do have a very caring son who does his best but of course he goes to work and is married
      and when they marry they have a lot of other commitments, and he works hard. He has to have a bit of life himself too so his weekends are precious
      as he only really has Saturday and Sunday he is' busying himself doing lots for the coming week. I wish people had three days weekends (the working ones)

      @Halcyon...well said and very true. I am not a community type person but I would like to visita couple of old folks (being an oldie myself) but everyone seems to have it together where I liveand the oldies have places to go. I do not have transport though and have bad knees.

      @Sam Holden....do you belong to a church Sam? not that all are what they are cracked up to be as many crazies are in them but can you ring a church of your choice and ask if they have a mens group? Or volunteer as a life guard at the pool or do some garden work for people e.g. cut trees or mow the lawn? or paint for old people for a bit of cash? Sometimes an Asian bride is better than no one. In saying that, you might marry the whole family haha but at least you would not be alone. You might meet someone nice. One of my sons is alone too.
