So what does one write here?
Partner of 35 years died recently and have not got a clue how one meets new people even if it is only online. Never really understood chat rooms as I never seem to know how to join in.
So hello all.
Hello MrFraggle

Hi Mr Fraggle
Sorry to hear that your partner has recently died. It must be a terrible time for you. You can write about anything here (within reason) and it’s a good way to get chatting.
welcome to the forum
Hello Mr Fraggle, your name sounds familiar, so I wonder if I know you from somewhere else!
We can’t replace your lost partner, but I am sure you will find members on here will give you something to smile about, something to argue about and the ladies are good at offering advice, if you have any questions on household jobs.
Keep posting, because you will soon get to know the regulars on here! 
Welcome to the site MrFraggle.
Your situation is exactly the same as what mine was when I joined my first forum and I’ve been on various forums ever since, this being one of the better ones.
Just read through some of the threads to get an idea what’s involved and then jump in yourself with your contribution. It gets easier after a while.
Your name does sound familiar.
Sorry about the loss of your wife
Maybe from FraggleRock.

Hello Mr. Fraggle, and so sorry about your situation.
I agree with Judd, just read through the different sections and hopefully you will find something that interests you that you’d like to respond to.
Most people here are friendly so hope you enjoy the company.
Welcome MrFraggle,
It’s a bit overwhelming at first, as I have had a few years on other forums, but we are a friendly group, so ask away.
Sit silently, read, scroll down,scroll up, and before you know it you won’t be able to control yourself, you will post!!
Simple after that!
