Hello Everyone!!! Leaving for a Little While.

Hello!!!

This is sopie4 writing to tell you I need to sign off from HU for a time.

I've shared, through a Post I wrote a month ago, that it is necessary for my sister and I to move. After 17 years living here and feeling very secure, we are shocked and confused as we received continual mixed messages from our landlords.

Documents in writing are not a guarantee!! This is a lot to digest and cope with for two oldster sisters, (70 & 76), living with multiple disabilities. The chaos of finding new housing and packing up is quite a challenge.

It's very important to me that no one feels I've ignored you by not responding to messages or Posts. I will miss this very, very important part of my day and evening very much.

Wishing every single person a SAFE, HEALTHY, lovely spring and summer. Enjoy the warmer weather, flowers blooming, birds singing...all the beauty that these new seasons bring. A remarkable gift to help us feel happier, more hopeful...to lessen the intensity of change that accompanies the anxiety, sadness, bereavement and fear we've lived with during this past year.

Signing off now with my love.

Sadly, Sophie lives in the USA! 😕😷

Things will be different over there, no doubt. Surely there will be a similar body who can help and advise. Must be very difficult living under such circumstances.

Veteran why are you sad that Sophie lives in the USA.

Veteran250 profile image
Veteran250 in reply towinnabago

Because RoadRunner suggested Sophie contact C.A.B.(Citizens Advice) which I don’t think they have in the USA, but I may be wrong, therefore Sophie cant get advice, as we that live in the Uk can.

I thought the US was supposed to be an advanced caring country, looking after its own???

fib4 profile image
fib4 in reply toVeteran250

that's a funny one we are too busy taking care of other countries and illegal's so many older people have to make a choice between medicine and food they can't afford both we give money and insurance to any one who comes here and here's a real good one everyone in jail gets the stimulus checks including people on death row one man killed 8 people and he gets a check too gotta love it

Hello Veteran250

After the US politicians get their share of our taxes, there isn't anything left for oldsters.

Thank you, RoadRunner!!

We live in the USA...no C.A.B. I appreciate your suggestion!

Please take very good care and enjoy the new seasons!! Can't believe that after SO MUCH SNOW, it's 70 degrees here...but just for today...then RAIN!! Wouldn't you know it?

Love from Sophie

Hello Sophie..... hoping you have both had you vaccine jab, and you find a new place to live..... we are all thinking of you, and hope you return to HU soon👍🙂😷🌹

sophie4 in reply toVeteran250

Thank you, Veteran 250!

I will miss your wonderful, daily Posts that I look forward to reading as I begin each day!!!...so uplifting, fun and interesting!!! Your consistent contributions to HU are a sheer pleasure.

Is it magnificent in The Garden of England???

My sister, Barbara, will have her second jab on 3/31. I've registered many places but haven't receive any responses. Makes sense...I'm SO YOUNG!!! Only turning 71!! And so, I'm not a priority.

You have received your two jabs, according to your Posts!! WONDERFUL!!

I did read your messages about dear Sasha and have kept Sasha, you, and your wife in my daily prayers. You are so fortunate to have one another. Your loving care will surely help Sasha make a full recovery. If my old brain remembers correctly, Sasha will be 16 on March 16th?

Keep safe, healthy, and happy!! Don't remember the expression you used for Sasha going out to do her business, but it was so funny...gave me a great chuckle.

I'm sure you'll be enjoying the new seasons coming up. Keep listening to your beloved music!!!

I have had my first jab, my second jab is on the 29th April...... it truly is a pleasure to be living in the Garden of England...... and Sasha goes out into the garden for a jimmyriddle!

Take care Sophie, and stay safe🙂👍🌹

Hi Jerry,

Is it possible for me to be on-hold with HU. I may just break down and need you guys!! Or will I have to re-join?

Thanks so much for your good wishes.

This move is a solo affair as I'm my sister's full-time caregiver. ALL responsibilities fall squarely on my shoulders.

BLESS HU!!! BLESS YOU AND ALL THE OTHER ADMINISTRATORS!!! FILLED WITH GRATITUDE!!! Please pass my sentiments on to them!!!

Stay SAFE, HEALTHY, HAPPY!!!

Veteran250 profile image
Veteran250 in reply tosophie4

Sophie...... if I may answer on behalf of Jerry, I believe you remain a member of HU for as long as you want, you don’t have to post, there are many members who are the silent majority, they only click like but never comment, so while you are moving house, you become a silent member, and we look forward to your posts when you return, without having to rejoin(Sorry to answer in your place Jerry)

I'm so sorry it finally came to this. I hoped it would work out. I will miss you and hope you can come back soon.

sophie4 in reply toNothing_but_books

I will MISS YOU!!!!! We shared so many different things/thoughts together. Many, many thanks!! I'm wondering how you're doing with your computer hunt? Maybe, hopefully, you typed your kind message on your brand new computer that works perfectly!!

Remember...dark or milk chocolate is a lovely help for chasing away the blues.

Sending love to my dear friend.

Nothing_but_booksReading Rabbits in reply tosophie4

Hurry back. Maybe you can find a way to let us know how you're proceeding. I'd like that.

Nothing new yet.

Chocolate Ensure isn't bad either.

in reply toNothing_but_books

HiSorry to interrupt. Is that the Ensure drinks? When our son was diagnosed with Crohn's at the age of 12 he had to have the strawberry ones which weren't very nice.. My Mum said I will give you 50p a sip!! He made quite a lot of money 😊😄xxxx❤️💜

Nothing_but_books profile image
Nothing_but_booksReading Rabbits in reply to

Hi Oldham!

I agree with you, the strawberry is awful. If he's still drinking it the "Ensure Enlive milk chocolate" is not bad at all.

in reply toNothing_but_books

He's not on them now. He is 25 and was on them at the age of12. Thank you for the advice though. Hope you are okLove and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗💜 🤗

Hi Sophie. What a terrible situation to find your self in. Obviously we aren't aware of all the ins and outs, but have you somewhere else to go or have you to start looking. Surely you could involve Social Services or Age UK. It has to be worth a try! On the good side, at least we are getting to lighter nights and hopefully better weather, which has to be an improvement to having to move in the winter. Sorry you have to shut down on here for a while, but fully understand. Maybe it will be something to look forward to once you are finally settled. Sending you best wishes for a successful move! xx

Veteran250 in reply toShelWhitt

Yes Shel, I totally agree!

Thank you so much sophie4 for stopping by to say goodbye to us, or more accurately (hopefully) au revoir. I feel for you at what must be a very challenging moment in your lives and fully understand your decision.But I hope that at some point in the future you'll be able to rejoin us, with some of your troubles behind you. Take care too and wishing you all the very best, especially with your move. 🌸🙏

Dear Sophie, as Veteran said i am a silent member most of the time😁.

I write you now just because I have the impression that you think you have to leave HU, while YOU DON’T!

If you move, if everything change around you, remember that your Username and password hear (on HU) don’t change so you can join this wonderful forum wherever you are: you need only your smartphone (or PC) and a Internet connection to post and to chat.

I live in Italy but I use (I would say used😢) a lot and everywhere I follow my favourite websites, I listen podcasts and so on...

Forgive me if I didn’t properly understand your problem.

My best wishes for your moving: try to take the best from this uncomfortable situation being positive and open to discover new good things that you’ll surely find around you!🤞

I just want to wish you and your sister all the very best with your new venture. I firmly believe when one door closes another door will open. However, I fully realize the turmoil this puts you in at a very unsettling time. The only way to eat an elephant is just one bite at a time! Be well!!
