    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll?
    A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

    What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
    Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Abuse” icon, as shown below:

    Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the abuse team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

    Night SW - sleep well pet

    A quick update about Mam as some people were asking - I don't know where wwe got up to on here, but Mam was transferred to the 'end-of-life unit at a local care home last Wednesday, and the trouble with her treatment has continued. She has been asthmatic all her life following TB as a child, but the home did not give her the asthmas meds/inhalers she has had all her life since then from admission till we got stressed about it 4 days later when we saw her health deteriorating. Seems like they forgot to transfer that medication from the list provided by hospital onto their medication charts. However, when it was pointed out to them, they started giving her an asthma nebuliser 4 times a day. We have had a few other problems too, which have upset us.

    Anyway, Mam improved after getting her nebuliser but from the beginning of this week, she has slept and not been able to eat or drink most of the time, and we are very worried about her at the moment. We are at present sort of having a rota system so someone is with her, to check on her treatment and meds, as well as what she eats and drinks, so spending lots of time at the care home - Handy, your wife especially will know a lot about that :(

    So forgive me when I am not posting on here much at the moment - I do post on my diary for support and to keep people informed of what is going on, so you're welcome to look in anytime. However, I try to just keep to that thread as I can only concentrate on one thing at a time at present - I have been up at Mam's with my brother for 4 weeks today, so Mr 3Dogs has been looking after himself all that time :eek:

    I'll try to pop in with the odd BUMP though, when I can, just for the hell of it perhaps - well, just to keep my hand in ;)

    I'll be off to bed soon, after a look around the grocery vouchers/saving, freebie threads, as I am going food shopping with my sister tomorrow and a gal still has to get the bargains

    Not at all you know i love u really :p
  • Hi all, a late night Hello from Handy. I think me and Mrs H have sleeping sickness. We seem to have been dosing all evening, The fire has been on, the terriers have been roasting themselves in front of it. The room was so warm and cosy. I missed the end of X factor, Piers Morgan and Macca.
    Maybe I haven't missed much and maybe that's why I have slept so much.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Hi 3Dogs, we are thinking of you. SW and Swanny, Hi mateys.

    Catch you all laters.
    Handy.:D
