I found silver surfers site and it did seem like a good way to speak to other people that may not all have a out look on life as we meaning my wife as we do. as we have grown into middle age we some how have become quite recluse and just a little bit unsure if we are the kind of people who other people just don't want to know. this maybe my ability to work was stooped from a hospital mistake and my Beverley's health has gone very bad when a car hit her witch as we get older has made her unable to do the most simple things to help her self even personal things like well everything life is hard when you can't talk to anybody as it is just embarrassing. sorry I think I have answered why we are on our own. I will post this but please don't think we are bad people because we feel a bit lonely it is sometimes get hard to see nothing other than each-other and the same walls. sorry for the moan Paul

Hi Paul, get out now & meet people, join a few clubs, the U3A is good. I say this as my husband & I grew old together, our children are overseas & we didn't need any one. He passed away on Easter Monday, I had looked after him during his last 6 months of illness, he didn't want to go to a hospice or nursing home. I experienced dreadful loneliness, I had no friends, I told the family not to come over, there seemed no point once he had died. I'm coming right now, have made a few friends. Our doctor commented that one can't pour from an empty jug, that is what happened,

Hello and welcome ... here is a link to a guide on how to use the Forum: https://www.silversurfers.com/silversurfers-forum-guide/

It is probably best to have a mooch around and then just take the plunge and start engaging with any topics which interest you. 😉

Tried to post this on forum page. Not sure if it has worked or not ! I do find this all a bit confusing. "I don't remember the exact time or reason when I stopped beleiving in
Father Christmas. Was there a definite point for most of us, or just a
gradual awareness"

Perhaps you should believe in fairies they are so much more fun and the parking fairy never lets you down

Hello islandman ... if you go into your profile, that is the place to see if anyone has responded to you. There should be a blue bar at the bottom of your page, which say Forum Notifications, and if you click on the arrow, any messages will be displayed. Hope this helps 🙂
Response from Silversurfers Editor Original Poster made on 12th Mar 2016 21:29:23
Also if you go into your Homepage, via Your Account, there is a box called My Forum. If you click that all your conversation threads will appear.

Hello Silversurfers Editor
I joined the site on 17.1.16 and still don't find it very user friendly , why do you keep posts on that are months out of date? I know the topics are numerous but there has to be a clearer way to list them perhaps just simple alphabetical order would help .I have started to communicate with one lady and found we have a lot in common so from that point of view it has been beneficial.
