Talking Telephone Book

survey for the book thanks you are very nice people.

As the song goes, "I enjoy being a girl" ... but I don't drool over dresses made of lace or flip when a fella sends me flowers. Now, a nice tub of ice cream ... that's a different story!

Once an avid reader, crossword puzzle solver, active member of the community, car driver, home owner, this former independent person has lost a lot of confidence and is devestated by her increasing loss of sight in recent months. RNIB are soon to provide a package of practical resources - talking books, large button telephone etc. but she feels helpless to do things for herself and has suffered from depression as a result. I am looking for stimulating ideas that she could cope with and enjoy at the times when she is left to her own devices in her own home. She listens to music, plays patience and relies on others to help her with preparing food, shopping, laundry and housework. We have been enlarging crosswords and typing out clues in font size 48, but it takes longer to do this than she can solve them! There must be meaningful, challenging and achievable ways of her passing some of her spare time, at a when she feels that her world has fallen apart. Please help.

My aunt - who died recently at 90 - was in exactly the same circumstances. She continued to play Scrabble - using a set with very large letters - with a few friends who used to call round every so often.

She will be eligible for a lot of help from the council. She's paid her taxes and she needs what she's entitled to. Home help, reduction in Council Tax, also free TV licence if she's registered blind (which she should be). She can have an emergency attachment to her phone and a button thing to go round her neck - any problems and she presses the button and help is sent asap.

It might well be worth contacting the local church - they might send someone round to sit and chat with her every so often. Don't worry if she's not a churchgoer - they'll likely do it anyway. If the Anglicans won't do it, talk to the Catholics - and vice versa.

The local council can tell you all about provision and so can Age Concern. Here's a list:

Information and advice
All Age Concerns offer a signposting service and most offer detailed information and advice on issues such as finance, benefits, housing and residential care.

Activities outside the home
Activities such as day care, lunch clubs, outings, learning and leisure opportunities, including computer training are available at many local offices.

Emotional and social support at home
A large number of Age Concerns provide befriending and visiting services, particularly to the housebound. Many also offer advocacy and counselling services.

Personal care
Many Age Concerns provide personal care at home, particularly for those who wish to remain in their own homes. This may range from help with bathing and dressing, to foot care, hairdressing, and the provision of mobility aids.

To find out exactly what is available in your area, contact your local Age Concern.

Visit www.ageconcern.org.uk/local and search by postcode, town or county
Call the our Information Line (freephone) on 0800 00 99 66
If they can't help you directly, they will normally suggest someone who can.

There's lots of help out there - you just have to find out where it is and then ASK!

I wish your friend the very best. There are plenty of people out there who'll befriend her.

I am trying to book tickets for a certain event with Ticketmaster. Their online booking system doesn't seem to be working and I'd rather talk to someone to make the booking.

However, their telephone service does not seem to work correctly at all! It asks me to ask a question after the tone then wait while they find an answer...

I gave the specific requirements clearly but it left me on hold for about a minute then started talking to me about what to ask in a question then I go back to the beginning again where it tells me to ask what event I want!!

I'm going round in circles, getting very frustrated and wasting a lot of money here!

Can anyone help? Does anyone have experience of this service?

Thanks!

i actually used the site on-line this morning to book tickets and i never had a prob with it.... i'm sorry u r having probs with it..... but other than trying to call again or using the internet i really don't know..... failing that u will have to go to an outlet in person that has ticketmaster.....xxx

The number of users is impressive, in fact a little scary... Is this face book thing like the telephone, you know you sease to exist as a person, a social being without it? I am a real person but without face book, i just get funny looks like i am a sociopath. My friends seem to sugest that it is very true. My lack of Facebook is already straining one friendship. But what happens if it is a fad? I can still Skype, Windows Messenger, email, write and call people. There is even this thing called talking face to face that people are ignoring in favour of face book. The funny looks are getting to me though.

Are you f*cking serious?

This is ridiculous! You don't have to do anything, it's just a stupid socializing site. Why the hell would it strain a friendship? It that's true, then lose that loser friend of yours because friendship should NOT be based on what friend site you freaking use. Seriously, who gives a crap? If anyone actually IS giving you funny looks they need to get a damn life and stop trying to recruit people to joining facebook.. Screw them.
