Lady seeks online and telephone friends

wiserlady

Hi, new here. A lady of 64 who is bright, chatty, friendly, witty, bubbly, looking to make friends with people online and by phone - as housebound and disabled and it gets very lonely.  If you think we could be friends please get in touch with me giving me some info about you.  More about me.  I love dogs and have a wonderful little chihuaha, enjoy films and tv selectively, play on the nintendo switch, read a lot. Thanks for reading this.

Of course we all are a friendly lot on here so you can have plenty of online friends friends to chat to. 🙂

im,glad you have a pet dog, they’re great aren’t they, do you ever watch dogs behaving badly? A brilliant program imo.

Hi there, yes know about Silverline but - it is not the same as having a real friend, it's the same as chatting to a nurse now and then.   And the woman who was supposed to ring me every thursday evening never did and always had excuses for being too busy or forgetting to days later, it was obvious she had changed her mind and not that keen, so it was not helpful and upsetting.  I told Silverline about it and instead of understanding it they took me off of their list as if it were my fault.   The idea is to make a friend, not just chat to someone, I can chat to staff and clients at work then.
