Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Heorot]

I'm another who doesn't like the French, but I have been to France and interacted with both French men and women.

Today is a fairly ****e day, not only did I have to come to work.


But my wife got the results from her biopsy. Not devastating news, it's treatable. But not the all clear I was praying for. Looks like the next few weeks will be different.

At least you tried

I've never got my head around the idea that one can dislike an entire country of people based on either the accident of the location of their birth or their skin colour.

Hope for the best and keep a positive mental attitude. Hope all's well in the end.

All the French I met were at best, indifferent and at worst arrogant and offensive. I was on holiday with my children in the Carmargue and my host was a local married to an English woman for 18 years yet he refused to speak anything but French to his guests, who were French, Belgian, German and English.

OK that's not good news, but treatable is. Treatable means she will most likely need surgery, maybe radiation, maybe chemo. It's all horrible, frightening, tiring, unfair. But she'll get through it with lots of support from friends and family. Has she been able to speak to other women who've been through it? If not my mum in law has and if your wife wanted a chat with her we could set that up. She's fine now, she had a double mastectomy, chemo, the lot. And all while already dealing with rheumatoid arthritis. It wasn't easy, but I bet your wife is a strong lady and she has you there to look after her.

A positive mental attitude is very important. When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, my reaction was "Fu3k it". I stayed calm, evaluated the treatment options, chose the treatment and then just got on with life. 7 weeks of daily hospital visits and then in limbo for 3 months while I waited for my next test results but I just got on with life. Then I got the all clear. I have to admit though, I am hyper conscious of any body changes in case the cancer has come back.
