    Good Morning @lindabell8 welcome to our great group.
    Sorry to hear you feel isolated - you have done well to join the group, i think you might find it helpful,
    Every one is so friendly we have lots going on. In the coffee lounge we have general chats/games etc.

    I am sure you will be greeted from some of the other members when they wake up ha ha.
    A few of us pop in and out of the site during the day.

    Have you any plans for today ?

    Hello @lindabell8 and welcome to the community, it's nice to see you join us.

    I'm sorry to hear that you feel isolated, hopefully being a member of the community can help ease that for you.

    How are you managing with your fibro?

      

    I hope to see you getting involved more around the community. This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 A few notable pages I’d recommend visiting would be:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

    Hi @lindabell8 really glad to hear your enjoying our group, this sounds promising that it will help you with feeling isolated.
    I still find things out now that i didn't realise i could do, but that could be that i am not that good with technology ha ha.
    Hope your keeping well, and have a bit of sunshine in your part of the world today.
