there are some people you talk to on the phone or in person and you come away with a smile on your face and feeling energised....and some where you feel drained and in need of a drink?

I have two 'aunties' both around the same age, talking to one I laugh a lot ,the other makes me very depressed lol...one is 'young at heart' (76 going on 30) the other older than her years ( 74 going on 90).

Putting off a phone call at the moment , can you tell lol

after reading this thread i need a drink

yes I do Rose both my stepmum and my mum are one colour for different reasons but both leave me either angry or sad or a mix of the 2

I have a mate who is Yellow cos I know she will make me laugh no matter what.

Damnation that reminds me I have a ??? call to make. yikes have to call home

Rambling Rose - I have a few colleagues who are very keen in trying to have 'conversations' with their deceased relatives - who they ignored while they were alive.

Speak to both aunties while they are still around. Go on - do it now.

Lynda I'm sure they were smiling too :)

have you made that call Uzzi ? lol

Dermot neither are 'aunties' , both old friends of my mum...I have however just phoned a 'relative by marriage' and now looking for a drink lol

Keith I am ignoring that remark lol...oh go on then share a bottle with me!

I came away energised and smiling from your phone call Lynda, although me ears were a bit tired:))))

I thought it would be you lol :))

Evening Rose:) I have a lot of phone calls I should be making but keep putting them off but it's more laziness with me

Sadly I have no-one left to ring like that.But after I used to speak to my mum(with dementia) I reached for the bottle of wine,my friend who's hubby left her ,I reached for the wine,and a very essentric friend I reached for the wine.
They have all gone now and I have happy phone calls ,but I still have a glass of wine LOL

hi rose
My mum has altzheimers and is constanly ringing up , "what day is it", somebodys pinched my dresses" or "nobodys been to see me for weeks" even though you've been in the morning .
sad oh god yes , for a once achinly beautiul woman to be reduced to this is so gut wrenching , so if she calls i go pay back time for the times she uncomplaingly looked after 4 children on her own

Before I met Lynda, I had talked to her on the phone.

She is like one of those wind up bunnies, they go on and on and..............:)

I had to smile, she talked exactly like she is on the boards.
I remember pulling the phone away from my ear and laughing with Maz.

Very sad Igor, it is the cruelest thing altzheimers.

I used to say to my mum that my looking after her ( in her latter years ) was simply a return on her investment of time and work and love in all that she had done for me and my brother.

Dear Rambling Rose

You have been a very good daughter to your mother.

Dear Igor

God bless you and the carers who quietly get on with things.

Very best wishes to you both.

oh yes....I have one aunt, who i love dearly, but she's an alcoholic, and i can tell in the opening sentance of the call how its gonna pan out, either it'll be she loves me, i'm like her baby, or she'll be really vicious cos I emailed her partner, and didn't put "for Auntie XXXX" in the subject line! (she just uses his email address)

If she's being mean, I really don't want to have a drink, i just ring my mum and tell her her sisters being horrible!
