- Ah, that group. Doesn't want me--I've tried to join a couple of times but there is a long running script that interferes and the page times out.
- I'm going. What group?
- @"Annie C" I am! Have you joined the group?
- @kmakm. You just made my day. I want one of those mugs. Classic comeback for those who insist on telling us how to live our "cancer life". I always want to say "leave me alone - I've got this far". However living in a small town it is necessary to watch what I say as I may need the favours returned that I have given to others. I already have a reputation at our local hospital of "don't argue with Ann".
Anyone out there going to the Field of Women and conference. I can't wait. It is my treat to me for having my life totally disrupted, turned upside down and having got this far into this rotten stoney path full of double gees and bindieyes. I certainly do not call it a "journey"! - @arnlybub Checked it out. Superb. Am bookmarking the site. Thank you!
- @arnlybub That quote is fantastic! Could also apply to those people who tell you birthing horror stories when you're pregnant!
I'll check out that website. LOVE it @kmakm!!
I quite like this quote too:
"When life give you lemons, I won't tell you a story about my cousin's friend who died of lemons".
There's an American website that does 'empathy' cards that are just brilliant - https://emilymcdowell.com/collections/empathy-cards
- @arnlybub Here's a gift you can give to your work 'friend'... Excuse the profanity but I saw this and thought of you and everyone else who's contributed to this thread!
Some other way ruder and diabolical ones on this website if you are not faint of heart when it comes to swear words! K xox - My classic "Did You Really Say That" came last week when I went to our small town bank. New teller (older lady) said, "Oh you're so and so. I hear you have breast cancer. You need to get some 'aboriginal tea'. My neighbour had breast cancer and she drank it all the time. She died you know."
I had no idea who the bank teller was. She was new in town but she obviously thought that I needed some advice.
My reply "I will stick with the experts, thankyou." - @arnlybub You might appreciate this thread. At the very least you'll feel less alone when it comes to dealing with idiots!
