@Shaz51 it can be discouraging.

[Shaz51]

it can be @Former-Member 

not sure what brought this on !!

[Former-Member]

Perhaps Mr Shaz will talk when he is ready @Shaz51 hopefully will be short lived.

saved the day @Former-Member 

mr shaz tried to put a bird dvd on to see what bird what was at mum`s

he could not put the dvd on

I put it on and he has found the bird he was looking for

I will have to stop thinking it is me @Former-Member

Snap @Shaz51  the twin has technology troubles too and I have to go to his rescue.

I have long struggled with never saying the right thing and being shut down .. think its why I turned to forum.

@Shaz51 @Former-Member

It can sting when that happens @Appleblossom  

[Appleblossom]

Its happened for so long ... i dont really feel it as a sting anymore ... mostly I save my breathe ... just have to insist I am heard at times when it is really necessary.  The forum has helped me not implode.

Waking up during the night and not getting back to sleep can be stress too @Shaz51  and you have a lot on your plate right now

And there are times when it seems we can say or do anything right - sometimes a partner can get edgy and rub it in - and cause technology issues - ooh that can bite

But today - I have enough to do but not overwhelmed - it's just not my day today - I have given up for the time being - it will be easier to catch up later - I can't blame anyone else when I live by myself

My computer went on strike last night - annoying - it would not connect to the wifi - everything was in place - then I got a banner telling me I was being disconnected in 5 minutes - then 2 and then I was - but got back later and found I had gone back to the beginning with the games I play

I know I have to start on NBN - but it's all working today - I will do that when I get back from holidays

But about your carers' work @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Former-Member @greenpea @Former-Member  - I care for myself and oh gee! - I can get irritated at times when my back is sore - having someone else to care for - well - let's say - I really feel for you all and other carers as well

All the best
