Re: Thankyou all..a appology

I don't think anyone minds your posts Not me, that's for sure.

I read all the replies with interest, and I firmly believe that all members here are genuinely nice and really like to help solve problems, or give advice to the best of their ability. Sometimes we all need a person to 'listen' to us and as you said yourself, a trouble shared is a trouble halved.
You keep posting.

Why on earth apologise Steve, it is sad to read the problems you are having and I sincerely hope that you turn a corner soon and things start to improve but you should never have to say sorry.

Being a long time retired I worked in a different world to that of today, a world where employment was easy to come by and perhaps we have no real conception of what it is like these days.
Perhaps you do us a good turn to tell how it really is for a lot of people.
If it helps in any way to unburden yourself even in the short term just write what you feel.

Good luck and best wishes.
George.

Steve if we could wave a magic wand and get you out of your predicament we would.

I think most people go through bad times at some stage in their lives, just tell yourself it won't be forever.

Re: Thankyou all..a appology

Steve, keep your pecker up friend, certainly no need to apologise at all. Being let down like this can affect your confidence sometimes and understandably so. Three times I have reached out for help from kind members here and they came up trumps for me, really they did. I would do it again if I wanted to without hesitation. There is something special about this forum and we are very lucky, you are one of us.

As Hammer said, no need for apologies, those who can help will willingly do so, and no one is forced to read every thread. In fact I only usually have time to visit at weekends so I miss a lot that goes on during the week.

Re: Thankyou all..a appology

Steve you have absolutely no need to apologise whatsoever.

My only concern for you is that you do pour out your heart which guests can also read. Please note that there is a Members' Only section on here which guests can't read, but it is your choice as to where you post.

It is sometimes very important to get advice from folk when you've no one else to turn to, and the members on here to my mind are absolutely genuine.

Like George said, we all need to unburden ourselves from time to time, and we are your friends on here.

Steve, this board is not a teenager one where they just do not care about anyone but themselves, here we are wise and full of help and advice for others who are in need.

I dont think I warrant using the members only board just yet ...if someone in the same situation as myself see my posts then perhaps they will realise they aint the only one out there
