Hi guys

I know you give such wonderful advice, so I wondered if anyone had an pearls of wisdom to shower on a ridiculous situation I now find myself in.

My brother (we're both 30ish) has recently met a new woman, and has been posting sappy messages on FB for the past few weeks. As his sister I thought it my duty to give him a bit of a ribbing over it , so posted some cheeky (I thought funny) comments on his posts about him having had a labotomy and needed to get out more etc etc.

Anyway, now I've got his new missus and her sister sending me the most abusive and disgusting messages :eek: . I never meant to upset anyone, but at the same time, their messages have now put me in the mood for a fight :mad: .

I think she's quite young (read early twenties) and defo not from the UK, so it may be a language barrier thing. But I'm stumped as to what to do.

I've spent the last few hours trying to ignore it, but it's making me really cross. your thoughts would be most welcome. TIA (",)

Spot the difference.....which pooch wears it's mac with pride and which one wishes the ground would open and swallow her up :rotfl:

Can I just ask where you guys got the macs from? My lurcher doesn't like the rain either and takes an army to move her when she sees it, she's even got the boxer going the same way and he loves going out on the lead whatever the weather!
She does like her coats so hoping a mac will help her realise the rain won't hurt her

3Dogs

Very heavy rain this morning so I didn't bother going down to the car boot but had a nice lie-in and then went over to see Mr 3Dogs about 3pm to 5.30 pm. He is looking more himself every day now :j :j but still puss coming out of the drain from the abcess and, as this is something the doc said he needed to check before sending him home, I don't know if he will be home tomorrow. Also, he is still on the thick fluid drip although the flow through his bag is getting better i.e. slower. Mr 3Dogs is very bored and wants to get home now, but he thinks he may be kept in another day or two. Well, we will know when doc does his rounds tomorrow morning and then Mr 3Dogs will ring me

As well as the heavy rain, it started to snow about 4 pm :eek: though back to just rain by 6 pm. I am having great trouble selecting the gears in the van. This started before the boys came to help, but we went over to hospital in their car for the 3 days they were here. Today, the gears needed forced in and I could only use 2nd, 4th and 5th, having to pull away in 2nd. Even worse coming home. I had forgotten to buy loo roll and been without for 3 days except for Andrex Moist and a couple of Andrex on the Go , so pulled into Tesco garage at Wisbech and was just going into the small forecourt shop whwn I remembered that I had left my purse at home, so got back into car to go straight home ....... but the car wouldn't start. Battery flat? So I called breakdown service who were there withing half an hour. Of course the van started stright away when he asked me to try it He checked fluid levels which were all fine, and, after trying the gears himself, decided that clutch cable about to go He offered to put van on truck and drive me home but agreed to follow me home instead, which he did, with no problems. He has advised me to not drive van until clutch seen to, but a mate has offered to look at it for me on Tuesday, so he can hopefully fix it if it is, as Mr 3Dogs thinks, just an adjustment of the clutch cable that's needed. Fingers crossed ;)

When I was at hospital we discussed the dogs and Mr 3Dogs still felt that we needed to rehome both Billy and Bess, though the thought of it distressed him greatly. He said he'd been struggling with them lately as they pull and are strong, so hard work to walk. But, after a friend visited him tonight and talked to him about it, he now agrees with me that it would only be fair to get Bess home and give it a try :j :j

I also raised with him that he will soon have to decide whether to have chemo, with it's side effects, or refuse it and just get on with what time he has left. As I said, he doesn't need to decide yet, until we talk to the oncologist, but he has to start thinking about it, and he does understand the pros and cons of having the treatment i.e. quality of life. I would point out that he was more upset talking about the dogs than talking about the impending decision on whether on not to have chemo

Anyway, I am going to do a bit of furniture moving in the bedroom now, to make it easier for him, so I may not get much catching up done tonight and I do miss reading up on here in the evening

That's what my partner says, but I've never even met this girl and I probably will have to soon as my other brother's wife is having a baby in 4 weeks.

Urgh - If this was a face-to -face convo I would know how to sort it, but online things can be so easily misconstrued!

I really don't want to end up making life hard for my bro either - i'm just not sure how it all blew up like this in a matter of hours!

You could post on his FB asking what he's doing dating Jeremy Kyle rejects or ask him if he's planning on creating a programme to rival the fat gypsy wedding.

That should have them spitting feathers nicely! :rotfl:
