I Am Supposed To To What I Am Told
Body & Soul13 mins ago
Had that crash in August 26th I believe. I have had 5 wonderful friends died in the last 5 years but the friends I have had have not come up with the "goods".
Ie not worried, not visited in the home - you know all the things should have happened in being concerned about you.
I am now very disappointed in the above that I did have a good lot of them in my will but now I think I will remove them.
I am also very hurt as well as disappointed. If the same were to happen to them I would have been there for them.
Sick to death of it all.

I had two siblings who always arrived at the house with birthday cards 13 November - this time both posted them with a big POSTAGE STAMP - first time for them ever. they have always arrived in body for over 50 years
annea. probably provides the answer. Time pressure these days.
I have not seen my granddaughter (18) this year. She lives 44 miles away, has passed her driving test and has a car. Most of the year she was studying for A levels & driving test and also had a Saturday job at Boots, which spread to include general cover.
Whee! She got the grades to read Eng.Lit. at Warwick - still worked at the local Boots (transferable employment). Now she is home for Christmas and we were booked for a family meal on Christmas Eve - local Boots have other ideas. She sees us or loses her job. She needs the cash. So she and her mum will pay a flying visit next week instead formince pies andmulled wine. To say I am gutted is about right - but I am so pleased to see her even for an hour that the disappointment has to be pushed away.
I think you have to do the same, sadly. The world has changed and we are on the losing side.
no but I will tell you this - when I have died and I have arranged a venue for them.
They'll go "ach jennyjoan was lovely wasn't she" - very witty and funny, and very kind to all she knew. She loved everybody particularly her mother and father and God love her - now she is below or heavey and with her she everybody loves - what a farce LOL
JJ, you don't know you will be going in a care home so don't worry about something you don't know of for sure.
I've noticed how times have changed and my family as it is now, is nothing like the family I had growing up.
I'm the same as you where social media has taken over peoples lives and I don't do What's app or twitter etc and people are busy busy busy and don't have time to talk on the phone, and never have time to come and visit.
There's probably not a lot we can do to change it and I'm afraid we just have to make the best of it. Please know though, you are not on your own when it comes to this.
JJ it's quite obvious to me that you are suffering from depression.
I could advise you, but I don't know what facilities you have near to where you live. That is what you need though, the company of other people getting out more, joining daytime clubs or the library, but as I said, I don't know what you have available to you where you live.
Jenny you sound depressed! You should seek help from the community health nurse.
for years you have told us on here that you like your own company, that you hate your birthday and Christmas and I wouldn't be surprised if you have let that be known in reality, so perhaps your relatives have finally paid heed.
people have so much to do in their own lives that if there is a relative saying I'm ok leave me alone it's one less thing to worry about
Red Helen - well you may have some true words as I seem to go into a depression around November/December - ie birthday and Christmas. I receive so many unnecessary presents and I don't need it - I truly want the money to go to necessary charities.
It makes me unhappy wandering some shops like yesterday looking for "tit and tat" buying the same bloody thing year after year.
Is this awful saying - if we are still living next year - if even though I have my own money - you know I would like to receive money as presents so that I can do what at will I can do. Apart from charities/homeless I saw a lovely cheap ring yesterday (of which many I have) but it was cheap but it stood out and the little prisms stood out but I didn't want to waste any more of MY money but a little present of money would buy it. Thanks for listenings.
