Re: Quick, I need hugs, lots of them!
Thanks folks. Steve, hope things are ok for you at work.
I also put this on FB, (I do love asking for sympathy), and two friends asked, what's up. I PMd them, saying part of the reason for my feeling down is that I have no-one to talk to at the moment. Big sister is on her way home from yet another cruise (back this evening and I guess she will not want to talk tonight), brother is useless - ie he's a typical male - and of course younger sister is nowhere to be seen!
My friend on the mobile chat obviously didn't know of my other scenes so didn't realise that by cutting me off mid story it was going to disappoint.
When I told my brother some weeks ago (on his rare visit here with wife and inlaws) how lonely I was he replied 'We know,' in a tone that said, we know, but we can't do anything about it.
I'd better either get a pet, or man up! However, I can often be found talking to myself...
Thanks for your support.
