I Penny, I'm a widow & very lonely too for the past two years. I was raised
in San Carlos & lived there, Redwood City & the south bay area, Silicon
Valley all my life until 3 years ago. Now living an hour's drive north of
Sacramento far away from family, old friends & familiar community. No new
friends here yet. Maybe just one so far who I hardly ever see.

My new home is also toxic. I've been fighting with the formaldehyde &
benezine gasses in here for two years now feeling like I'm dying. I think
it's mostly dissipated now but it really made me way worse ill than I was
before I moved in here. I've been feeling like I'm dying & wake up with
burning throat & lungs every morning & after each nap.

I own the house so nothing much I can do about it except purge the air &
keep my air purifiers on which don't seem to help much.

I think a lot of my illness & dis-ease is from being so lonely too. People
need people.
Caroline
