How does knee replacements work in the US, I mean do you qualify to have them automatically ? I feel for you as I started getting knee and hip problems in my early 60’s, my job as a housekeeper in a care home created the problems. Then in my last year my meniscus in my right knee was damaged...

Thanks for explaining, that’s helpful to know x I must admit that I like to reflect on things , but I tend to listen to what is being laid on my heart from the passage. Sometimes it may be something personal which may not mean a lot to others, but it’s still relevant. Other times it’s about the...

@Nancy - Dan Says he is thinking of you xxxxxxx

@Carl Emerson You didn’t offend me by the way, you asked for feedback so I felt I needed to be honest. I have been equally frustrated by the lack of interest as I want it to work as well. Apologies if my post impacted in a negative way xxxx

Are you not a prime example of those with differing views, but are also respectful of the views of others. Xxxx

Usually it’s me a few others that post, so it’s really up to those who opted for the study and then chose not to add anything - you can’t have a group study without a group of people willing to interact. I did try and add things each time, although recently I have been busy away from the forum...

Oh Nancy I am so very sorry - sending you much love xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Carl I haven’t actually said I want to leave, just really relayed that it hasn’t worked for me at the moment. I understand about the safe place , but in all honesty I would prefer to try and find ways to actually interact with those who have differing views rather than avoid them - that’s...

Hi Carl I found it interesting early on when quite a few were sharing but then it changed, also I like study where we learn from one another, no real agendas but an open group where you can share and be heard. You already know what conclusions you have reached, and I believe what you want us to...

Locked as requested

Not sure what the time difference is , it’s 8:00 in the morning here in the U.K. - so I sure hope you are able to get some sleep. Xxxx

There is a follow on series called ‘ Yes, Prime minister ‘ - absolutely love the humour in both of the series, and it kind of opens your eyes - which I didn’t notice when I was younger and the series first came out.

I haven’t heard social security mentioned for years, it was changed over in the U.K. to department of work and pensions over 20years ago.

“ only fools and horses “ is another one - if you understand the banter !

Yes I use to have Britbox, but obviously being in the U.K. I have other options. Some of the old series have aged and I find difficult to watch. There is another one I use to watch “ My Family “ - that’s hilarious

Trust me Nancy, it will make you laugh. I don’t think it’s aged too much and also the parallels between the ‘ posh ‘ attitudes that she endeavours to keep and her ‘ poor ‘ family member are culturally understandable. With her poor neighbours and husband caught up in the middle x

We have the same issue over here , so it’s not just under Biden. Everything has gone up, but basic pensions simply don’t cover everything if you don’t get help with some things. I thankfully get help with rent and council tax , and my brother helps me out. So I can afford to be retired.

That was such a funny show - years old now but what we would call a classic. All the actors were brilliant. Sad to think that there are probably many like her, I align more with the sister who lives on a council estate - grew up on one !! lol

I am so sorry , they started to cut back on opioids from GPs in the U.K., but not in the hospitals. My daughter got addicted to opioids because of a hip problem, that addiction caused an opioid depression and she ended up trying to end her life, thankfully she survived and a year on she is not...
