Bauble what a lovely post. There are a few elderly people nearby who seem so alone, yet seem targeted by drug addicts for lending money and naughty kids, I want to reach out but they are scared, they think everyone wants something from them, its so awful. Different times in my life I have helped. Some periods in life you can help financially, as I can a little bit now, but also times when if I havent had money I try contribute in other ways now I feel no community, I try church, not even a sense of commuity there, we are all seeingly in our homes alone and all terrified, I know I am one. Thanks for this thread, its made me stop the constant shopping and think. Im just sad it will be back to qvc tomorrow, sometimes spending is a comfort, a substitute. I guess QVC know though, they profit out of this loneliness and despair dont they.
