We will all be here waiting for you, I do hope that you are well and send lots of love and positive thoughts to you. Please take care of you & Beano. Jan in Castle Gresley
Oh no! I love reading your blog, the highs and the lows. I've learned a lot. I hope you decide to carry on, I will miss your voice. If you don't, I hope you find an outlet fir your stress. Whatever you decide, I wish you all the best.
What???!!! I wake up in Chicago and one of my morning highlights is reading your blog. I'm sure there are many more women like me who don't comment but follow your (and Beanos) life adventures. I wouldn't know how to write like you do. Don't give up because of nasty people! I remember when John from Going Gently wanted to give up and lots of us were glad he continued. I really hope you continue too.
I hope you and Steve are ok. Selfishly I hope this isn't the end of your blog, I've been reading for many years and will miss it. But I understand that sometimes things just come to an end. Please be kind to yourself, you deserve the best. Michelle x
It seems that us two Sue's are jumping ship together.
I decided yesterday after 15 years of blogging and a one month temporary break last month, that I had to stop. We both started at similar times, I remember you getting married ... well the post about you jumping the broom in your garden ... and all the good times you had. So many memories both happy and not so happy shared with people all over the world. You will know if you want to come back, or if enough is enough, either way you have many friends in Blogland.
I too don't comment on your blog often, but I've enjoyed reading it for quite a long time now. The ups, downs and everything in between. I so admire your stoicism in the face of difficult circumstances and totally get it that you are feeling the need of a break from blogging. All best wishes Alison in Wales x
I can't imagine my day without checking in with your blog. Being a handicapped 78 yr old senior citizen who doesn't get out due to using a rollater and incredible pain in legs and lower back, I find you are a constant friend who visits me and I find myself worrying about all your downs and patting you on the back for all your ups. Please keep in touch. (applesauceanne@aol.com) Please. I hope all is well with you and weirdly with Steve as well. Be well my friend and know that someone who lives up on the Hudson River in New York sends you her best and much love. I will miss you be it temp or forever.
I hope it is just for a break but if not, I certainly understand. You have had so much on your plate these last few years and I will always wish you the very best!!
i shall miss you. i've always admired how you handle your life and the troubles in it. if you don't come back, you will not be forgotten. hope life gets a little less stressful for you.
I also hope it's only temporary, but it's got to be what feels right for you. I wonder if some of the comments made by others has actually helped increase your stress. We all mean well, but maybe say the wrong things, or things you don't need to hear from strangers.
Whatever you decide, go well. Look after yourself and be kind to yourself.
I can understand how hard it is to keep blogging when you have struggles in your life. I wish you all the best and hope you can be kind to yourself and find some happiness.
I don't think the reason for possibly quitting your blog is because of a decision made solely on your own. I'm guessing all of the comments and "advise" that was written had a lot to do with it. I think I may have even commented that your husband seems unusually cruel, in the past, and I apologize for that. Obviously, you miss the man that he was and maybe you are able to see things in him, that you still love, that the rest of us don't see. Regardless, it is not any of our business to be judging how you should act or respond one way or the other. If anything, I think you deserve a lot of respect for not giving up and continuing to fight, despite all odds. I do question why your husband is able to be decent around his friends and why this can't be the same with you, but you may know or understand something there that I do not. So, what I am saying is, I am sorry, and I do hope you will continue your blog, as I too, look forward to reading it. Maybe because what you cope with also gives me strength with the daily struggles. Take care - Ranee (MN) USA
I have never left comments, but have read your blog for a long time. I admire you for coping so well with your many problems. I will really miss you if you decide to retire from your blog. But I wish you the VERY BEST Esther xx
I also have never left a comment but have been following for years and enjoyed hearing about Beano life on the boat and the summer house and get togethers etc and the cooking and what food you would be making and how the days were going for YOU and your husband as i get older ive found out life isint going to be all serene and pottering around the house with no stress at all like i imagined it would be lol following you has opened up my mind and given me some strength really .... i found some comments hard to read where as i never found following you gave me that feeling oddly enough. you take care Jane in au
I think "Anonymous" is "attention seeking"! I, too, have followed you for years. Seems like I know you, even though I am in far away Texas. I learned a lot about living on a boat, and have googled quite a few words that you used that I had never heard before. It has been enjoyable for me. I have been amazed at your strength in coping with so many obstacles. I sure hope to see you back with us. Hope you are all rght; that nothing serious has happened.
if you do decide to close and I really hope you don't, please let us know that you're ok if nothing else because as you can see from all the posts here you are cared for very much, love Carrie x
For years now, your musings about coping with our own aging and ailments, those of our friends and famiy, even the challenges of dealing with the quirks of much-loved pets have been a welcome addition to my online reading. Thank you for helping me and your other blog followers through some dark and difficult days. Please know that you, Steve and Bingo will remain in our thoughts -- and in my case, prayers.
Hello Sue, I’m not sure if you are looking at these messages but we are all still thinking of you. i hope that you are ok and coping with whatever life is throwing at you. Best wishes, Lindsey x

Sometimes you just have to stop and be kind to yourself and put other things to one side for a while - Well that's how it is for me xx

About you.

Beano! not Bingo. Curse auto-carrot (and the new YouTube algorithms while I'm at it)!
'Auto- carrot!!!' Love it!
Hope all is well. Good luck.
I hope your not hurt or ill. Do let us all
know you're ok.
Even if you don't want to blog anymore.
You have many people who care about you.
