@tora, Alice was known to have a very sharp, wicked, funny sense of humor. She said that Calvin Coolidge, an American president with a very sour demeanor, had been weaned on a dill pickle. What she meant was, if you can’t say anything nice, come sit next to me and we’ll gossip.

Claire, Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Teddy’s daughter) used to say, “If you can’t say anything nice, come sit next to me.”

LOL Tora I tell my kids that all the time! “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”

just ignore them… this is the internet. they’re idiots. i think a lot of people need to watch bambi again. particularly the bit about what to do if you have nothing nice to say.

Me too, 100%. The space you’ve created here appears to be the best help most of us are going to get. Question is, who cares for the caregiver? Let us do it, as much as we can. We love ya!

I really don’t think you should take such communications seriously. It’s NOT about you. It’s NOT about BIID. Such people have no interest in either. It’s about THEM. They have their own issues going on, and they have yet to acquire the maturity to deal with it except by trying to make other people feel bad about themselves. Easy for me to say, cos you’re the one in the limelight, but try not to let yourself get hurt by people who have nothing relevant to say, and whose motive is to alleviate their own suffering at the expense of others.
