Lost for words....

The uski part of the name belongs to my lovely OH he is of polish descent...oh dear can feel the start of another thread here....the life and loves of nellie smoluski I was one of Bonds playthings

Like the name, Smoluski - sounds like a glamorous female spy in a Bond film, the one that ends up with Bond, not the one that gets shot.

Have just popped in soop,but will let them them off today boys will be boys..

Nellie they are waiting for your inspection in Lil's bar. Mind you, you'll need to step over the lads first. They've been very naughty in your absence!

And now I am howling xxxxx

I still think of you as our Nellie So, our Nellie, no matter how tough and rough things may seem from time to time, you are certainly not alone. Seeing your name disappear from GN, upset me. Now that you're back, I feel uplifted in spirit. If you can do that for me...someone that you only know on-line, you must understand that you are indeed special.

Am I allowed to be in tears? Tears of joy, mind. Welcome back to a lovely, funny, warm-hearted lady.

You're so right, nellie, I do think loneliness caused by the factors you list can play a big part in depression, especially in older people. GPs can treat the symptoms, but not the causes - it's a big problem.

Thank you for all of the lovely welcome,warmth,empathy,and understanding,I just feel so overwhelmed by kindness,you all mean such a lot to me.
I was watching Dr Phil on countdown yesterday (guilty secret crush here), countdown is one of my security blankets,Dr Phil was saying how one GP practice had converted part of the surgery into a coffee shop run by patients where all the staff and patients would meet,greet,or eat,the incidence of depression and the need for antidepressants in that area dropped dramatically,isolation,separation,the loss of loved ones family or friends is perhaps as big a killer as heart disease or cancer.
Wouldn't that be a lovely idea if all communities worked that way again,same as our virtual community here.

Welcome back Nellie

Huh, shouldn't that have worked?

Big hugs Nellie

((((((*nelllie*))))))

These "thongs"!!!!

Welcome back - hope you can reduce the black dog to a wee grey puppy with the support of your friends. These thongs go in phases and it is hard to remember that there are good times too - but there are I am sure.

That's made my day nellie to find your wonderful posting above. to you and dear soop

Hi Nellie happy to see your post and glad you felt able to come back..

Hello again Nellie !

So pleased you have come back to GN nellie you had a lot of us worried. You will find all the support you need here (as you know!) - the "black dog" is a truly awful thing, I also know from experience. Oh, yes real black dogs though are our best friends and companions

Welcome 'home' Nellie

Lovely to hear you are back Nellie, but sad to hear of your battle. My DD has similar problems, so I have some idea of what you are going through. I do hope you improve soon. Look after yourself!

Welcome home,*Nellie*. Lovely to have you back where you belong. x x x

Pleased to see you back Nellie. Don't go again. You need your GN friends.

Glad you're back * Nellie*. You scared us! I'm relieved to hear that you're now in a better place, health-wise.

Lovely to see you again nellie, take care x

Welcome back
