Very very true fwed, but you can borrow my little dog with his rear end problem, I couldn't have an early night even if I wanted to.

hi fwed Iam home alone too so have a good one . Maybe we can all go out and howl at the moon it is a full one happy new year Sandra g

Hello Fwed,Lolith.and Sandra G -hope I have those names correct , I too am alone,tried going to bed but didnt sleep so here I am,10.47 not long now for all the bells and whistles. I am used to being alone so it doesnt worry me so much,in the past lots of parties that went all night with me cooking everyone breakfast, I Think am glad am old enough now to opt out of that. Sorry about your dog Lolith but sorry am not offering to have for the night -haha Sorry

I have given up and found a peg, now I am playing online poker waiting for the fireworks.

OH lolih. that does not sound too good . I hope the rear end is better in 2010, (the dogs I mean).

Sandra , too cloudy here to see the moon, but that is ok, we had some much needed rain today and already there are little greens shoots, amazing what rain can do.

Lolih I hope for your sake and the poor doggie that the fireworks dont blow that peg off , doesnt bear thinking about. I should go to bed I think cos am in a funny mood and finding every thing funny tonight, perhaps I will go through 2010 like a maniac laughing all the time

The Sydney fireworks were spectacular as always but did not see anything of Melbournes :(

The rain is wonderful but if it could have held off just until after the celebrations.

First day of 2010. Hey fwed you have your new tele. to keep you company.

I was alone as well and really quite enjoy being alone--I put the lights out at 11.30pm and although we have fireworks here--I never heard a thing :)

Lonliness is a very painful emotion, I know how it feels because I was horribly alone and wretched in a big city before I got married. I don't think there's a cure for it either, people waffle on about joining this and that, get busy, bla bla bla. I was looking on the net and googled 'Is there a cure for lonliness?" and came up with this, it's probably worth a read. I'm lucky to still have my partner but one day he might be gone and the thought terrifies me to death.

I feel very sorry for those that feel loneliness I am alone but am never lonely at all--you can be lonely in a crowded room--I have known many that have got into many BAD relationships just because they were lonely. I enjoy the solitude of my own company and always have. I guess I am lucky.

Hi toot2000, that was good about loneliness, I guess it explains my recent actions.

I had a late child who has recently moved on with her life and it has been my first xmas really alone.

Thanks to you all I am raring to go now in the New Year.

The busiest time for About Seniors was new years eve from about 10pm till 1am.

Everybody was posting.

maybe we should have been in bed %-P

Lolih, re your dog.... a suggestion, if I may.

Just give him/her boiled chicken and boiled rice for a day or two till stomach settles, then go on to a good quality dry food such as Eukanuba.

My vet gave me good advice when he said don't feed our dogs human food as their digestive systems are not equipped to handle it.

Feel free to ignore my suggestion if you wish.

:-)

Good on you Lolih, that's the spirit, and Plan B, I envy you your ability to happily enjoy your own company, my dad would often tell me that I should learn how to do it but I never had, I hate being on my own, I won't even go to the movies by myself. My sister has been a widow for 5 years and she sailed through it, but don't think I will.
