well done Chris,that is a great achievement i do wish you luck in your continuing success,you have the right attitude, to do it for you not anybody else,so i know you will succeed,hugs,helen.

Chris, I am so proud of you! You are truly an inspiration. I'm so glad that I have been here to see your progression and you know that I will be here cheering you on until you reach your goal!!! :-)

Chris, what happened to that lovely lady overseas??

hey chris don't be sorry for feeling the way you do,i don't see it as complaining,you are as entitled as anyone else to voice you feelings,and it shouldn't matter how you get your income ,like i have said before,the women who turn their backs on you don't know what they are missing,if they hung around long enough to really get to know you,they would act very differentlyi am sure,hang in there it will happen,probably when you are not expecting it,love and hugs,helen.

Do not be ashamed that your on a disability pension I also am and we have a right to be happy and enjoy life also.I also am Diabetic my eyesight is starting to fail and I have minor kidey problems but I refuse to give up and quit living I enjoy life. This makes me just want to get to know you even more. You sound like a very interesting caring and loveable person

Here is a shout out YOU'RE WELCOME!!! :-)

i thought of you this morning chris,when i took my dog for his walk, i met a man who was totally blind,i said good morning to him for which he duly thanked me,saying most people don't know what to say so they just walk on past without saying a word,i had a nice long chat with him,he has diabetes too,and like you that is what has affected his eyes,he used to live on his own with just a carer coming in everyday,then he was issued a seeing eye guide dog,he said having to walk his dog meant he met a lot of other people walking their dogs,he carried on like this for a couple of years,then one day he met a lady who also had a dog,they got talking and met most mornings,then one day the lady met him and was very upset,her dog had been taken ill,and she had to have him put to sleep,she said she did not want to stay at home moping about it,and hoped he would allow her to walk with him each day,they got married last year and are very happy,now i am not saying you should go out and get a dog but it is worth thinking about a guide dog,it is true you know people seem more friendly to you when you are walking your pet,especially if they have a dog themselves,take heart my friend,love and hugs,helen.
