    I'm still here. I had a PM after posting earlier telling me to "quit moaning about being ill all the time-nobodys interested!" So I deleted the post and wont post about my health anymore. Please accept my apologies for going on about it and will stick to OS only from now on. I only wanted/needed a hug and get ridiculed instead.

    Merlot-Thanks for the PM.

    PP

    Pen,

    Don't let what one horrible person says get to you, you are among friends here, and we all come on to have a moan, you have such a lot to contend with, and you are a fab person, keep posting please. xxxx

    Amie I always have tuck buscuits and juice, I think you and I were seperated at birth :D

    Hugs to all.

    Special hugs to pen xxxx

    Had to post today - I only do so very infrequently now because I'm an OS fraud now, I get so tired from work I find it hard to do anything.

    But I keep on reading because I want to find out what is happening with you all and one of the things I want to know about is PP's health! Over the past few weeks there have been all sorts of ailments mentioned in varying degrees and that's life. I would have thought no-one could be offended by this but I'm obviously wrong, some mean spirited person has targeted a person who has many admirers here because of the way she gets on with life, despite the horrible health problems she has. I'd like to think that I'd be as brave in the same situation but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be.

    Please keep posting PP, ignore the troll.

    Pen Pin,
    you have helped me - and so many others - by example. Looking back, it seems like I never stop moaning. When I was really low and waiting for the results from the biopsy I used this thread as a safety valve. I could type things here that I could not say to my kids or OM. I knew I was sharing with friends.
    Don't let one pathetic person stop you from talking to your friends.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    Well said taplady. Tell me who done it and I can throw my homemade bread at them, It'll knock them into next week.

    Sleep well all.

    It never fails to amaze me how nasty people can be when hiding behind their computer screen. that PM was uncalled for.
    people who can write stuff like that have no idea what its like to live with a chronic illness. unfortunately a lot of people here do and if letting off steam now and then helps then go for it girl!

    no idea what you said PP but I hope things improve soon.

    I have just read waht happened and i am shocked by the troll and the spite!

    Please don't stop posting - you are an example - and a friend to us all!

    Feel strongly that the p.m. should be reported as there is no excuse for it and if the spineless and spiteful swine had the guts to post in open firum they would get their (non existant ) guts for garters!

    Apart from someone's home made bread I have some really thick home made soup -for throwing purposes!

    Wish we had a set of stocks!!!!

    Penny, I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling so bad. I do NOT understand how someone could send you a pm like that. PLEASE forward the details to abuse. It's important that we support each other, not be afraid to say when things are taking a down turn because of people who can't even say what's on their mind infront of the rest of us.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
