Love your saying btw "We never grow up, we just learn how to act in public". So true!

Many thanks, Julianna, I'm sure I will. As soon as I can work out how everything works!

Re: Hello from the UK
Isolation is so damaging and contact with others is just so important, do keep reaching out. To suddenly find yourself without Roy after all those years is a massive trauma for you.Partisan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 4:56 amThank you, Oxgirl. It is nice to talk to people because Covid's been so isolating. Roy and I were handling it together and when he died things kinda went pear-shaped. You get out of the habit of actually talking to people and humans were not made to live in seclusion. People like you are so friendly and welcoming it's a pleasure to come back to the site. I've befriended you - I think that's what it's called, befriending? - although idk what that actually does!
I don't know what 'brefriending' is either! I did send you a PM the other day, not sure if it came through though.

Re: Hello from the UK
It was my gran that was the big western fan and I used to watch Bonanza with her when I was little, (when it was broadcast on UK tv in the 70s). When my husband passed and I was having yet another sleepless night, I stumbled across Bonanza on YouTube and I was hooked again. Like you, it made me feel part of a family again and then when I discovered Boomer’s my family was complete!Partisan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 5:15 am
Thank you. Was your husband a great Western fan, too? I wasn't around for the original run - I was born in the late 60s so I don't remember it. I do remember LHOTP and The Waltons though because they were later. lol As you've probably guessed, it's Little Joe that kept me here - Waltons didn't have him, and LHOTP did, but he was older and as a very, very strict father, so when I was little, Charles Ingalls used to scare me! Somehow I don't think I'd have been scared by Ben Cartwright. I just could not believe how devastatingly gorgeous Joe was in the first seasons, and what with that and his loveableness and warmth, it just kept me glued. I learned to appreciate the other family members, too. I thought, "Well, it might not be realistic, but this is what true goodness is." If only we could have a bit more of it in the world.

Re: Hello from the UK
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you really enjoy your time here. I agree the Cartwrights are family.
