Hope the powers of be are reading our messages

The HU forum is a bit manic at times and VERY social. However, if you start a thread because you need help, you get it and possibly better than here. Partly because there are more of us and it is totally international with people available 24/7.

For a time I used to look at HU as well as here but then stopped as I was ok with this one. Completely arbitrary choice, just didn't see the point of doubling up.

However, like so many I've become fed up with the pointless and confusing ""improvements" on here and if they are looking at our complaints they are certainly not acting on them.

As I finally came to the end of my " must do" list ( car insurance/service/tax....all in one month! ), sort out tariffs coming to an end ditto ISAS clear up after Christmas... well, you get the picture... I decided to have another look at HU and, although I have not used it for months I could see straight away that I'd be comfortable with using it again so I hope no one decides to update it.

Pity they don't have a System Restore button on here, as I've said before.

I havent abandoned it yet; its just that scrolling through all the non-PMR posts when you are looking for help on a bad day can be off-putting. i do get help when i have posted.

Oh yes - November is our month for everything to be due, followed in Feb or so with the equivalent of MOT! Then that little number called xmas in the middle...

But they are relatively easy to avoid unless you have a compulsion to read every post (as I do)! I do wish they could have two parallel worlds - like the NE forum set up. But if you want help without the fluff - start a new thread and I guarantee to answer!

Thank you, eileen. Your help has been immeasurable. i have been saving up a lot of questions, will post soon.

Lynda is that you at last , i hope all went well for you, and things are getting better after the fires.

yes Margaret, it's me😁. I'm sooo sorry I've kinda dropped off the grid, I've just been pretty sick (and continue to be). doc thinks my heart may be involved in all this mess. tests in 2 wks.

besides that, I've got some personal problems goin on with my oldest daughter....won't bore you w/details.

other than that, everything's Peachy!!

I've missed so many of you guys....I'll try to keep up better!

thanks for remembering me!

well if you can now and again drop us all a line to know how you doing.take care. mags

lynda, we do remember you and that's what makes all the confusing changes that have been inflicted on us so annoying and upsetting. It's the same feeling as when a Christmas card doesn't come from someone we always hear from. Your first thought is " What's wrong?"

Hope your life settles down to a more comfortable place soon.

BettyE...hi and thanks so much for your post!

Sometimes, you begin to wonder if you've mattered to folks, but gratefully, many of you are proving me wrong!

I promise I'll bring everyone up to date when I've got more info!

In the mean time, please keep me in your thoughts....I Really miss you guys!......it's just one of those Crummy times right now.....luv ya!

Like others I have been wondering if you are ok, Lynda, but because of the ongoing problems with this forum I thought that you may have given up in frustration. Glad you haven't but it's not very user friendly at present. I live in hope!!

I was almost about to private email you to see if you were ok. Please keep us updated.

thx peg. for remembering me! I've got 2 doc appointments next week....hopefully I'll have more info then!

btw...feel free to p/m me anytime!😘

So glad to read you are taking care of yourself Lynda and you are going to the doctor..

By the way, stress is the devil of our disease , so try and let others do the worrying for you ...

Worrying will not achieve anything dear friend.

Have a lovely day

😃

hi rds...thank you sooo much in remembering me! I'm sorry it took a bit to get back to you, but you sure made my day when I read

your sweet note.

I've had some new health problems lately and a few personal issues happening. that's why I've taken a step back for a minute.

I just want you to know how great it is to hear when I've not been forgotten!

I promise to catch everyone up shortly....in the meantime, please keep sending me good thoughts!

thx....Lynda

hi silver...sooo sorry in being so late in acknowledging your post. believe me it's not been for lack of appreciation!

I've had alot going on lately and have needed to Breathe!!

I'll get it back together soon!

Remember stress is not good for us lynda, i know you have a lot going on, but try to find a little me time, and keep in touch.

Lynda of course i haven't forgotten you dear friend ...

I have a lot of empathy for you and all your stress related issues, but your most important thing at the moment is to take care of yourself and not worry about others ..

my late husband always put me on track when i use to worry about my grownup kids ... he would say,

"the difference between them and us, is that they have youth and all their life ahead of them to get sorted ..."

How right his way of thinking was ...you must put yourself first...

worrying and stress will not help any of your health issues, it will be very detrimental for you..

Rant and complain here, we are always ready to give you a helpful ear ...

Feel well and take care of yourself Lynda.

Please don't feel any need to reply individually, Lynda. It sounds like you have more than enough to contend with just now and need all your strength and more to manage all that you are dealing with at present. Despite the difficulties with this site there is usually someone around. Eileen seems to be managing to continue to fight her way through. I am occasionally stymied but eventually manage. Best wishes and remember to try to take care of yourself too.
