shaneystar - just curious, but are you on here 24/7?

[shaneystar]

No!!
But I don't get out and about as much as I would like.Suffer very badly with osteoarthritis.I still do my housework!!
But I am a crossword and quiz addict and this keeps me amused and keeps my brain in gear. When my son comes home from work then I disappear!!

[crofter]

"Good on ya" Shaneystar!

Sorry for being nosey shaneystar. My sympathies - my father has such bad osteoarthritis now (he's 85) that he hasn't been out of the house for 5 years. I wish he had an interest like this that he could join in, but he can't get to the opticians to get his reading glasses sorted and can barely use his hands any more. Anyway, he'd never go for anything more modern than his DVD player and even then he has trouble opening the cases.

Good luck to you and long may you 'rain' your answers on us!

I don't mind you being nosey!!
Sorry to hear about your Dad.It must be miserable for him.
I know how I feel with this and I am much younger,Well not that young!!
