Hello Everyone,

Haven't been around much the last couple of days, hope you are all well. Had some bad news to deal with regarding my cousin's wife who was admitted to hospital at the weekend. They discovered a lump at the base of her brain which is malignant and there is really nothing they can do, they will give radiotherapy but don't know how much longer that will give her, worst case scenario is 3 months. I am so tearful and upset, she has always been a very strong lady and even now is fighting, bless her:A. I feel so sorry for her because her first grandchild was only born a month ago, that was the baby I told you all about, and she was so looking forward to it.

I'm hoping to go to see her tomorrow but I don't want to go in there and burst out crying but I just don't know what to say to her or the rest of the family. What can you say??:(

Hi BL... i'm sorry i didnt see this last night, my pc kept freezing and doing silly things.

I have to agree with 3Dogs, sometimes the person just needs someone else to cry with them.

The fact that she has always been a strong lady doesnt mean that she isn't scared and upset inside right now but maybe trying to put a brave face on things to please other people. She may just need to have a good cry with someone who is letting her know that its absolutely ok to cry and feel 'cheated' as such.

You will know what to do when the time comes to see her, you will do what comes naturally and thats all you can do. We cant go into situations like this with some pre~conceived notion about what we are going to say or how we are going to act, it wont come out right and will make the person feel awkward. Thats the last thing we would want.

I am really sorry to hear this news. Sending {{BIG HUGS}} to you.

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.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis


PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
