This is silver sewer's husband. Last night she showed
me an anonymous comment posted to her blog by someone who is in the quilting
group she used to attend.
I knew this
person had previously sent comments but I did not realise just how vindictive they
were.
To clear up
a point or two: I am not stressed in any way about our impending move. The
decision to move back ‘down south’ was one that was made between the two of us
after we found out that DD1 has a serious problem which may result in an
operation and chemo. At a time like this we need to be a lot closer than we are
to our family. A 600 mile round trip is not exactly a walk in the park.
I am not
losing friends but in fact going back to friends we have known for a number of
years and who have missed us both greatly since silver sewer made the brave decision
to allow me to return to the area I was born and brought up in.
We have had
3 happy years up here and both of us will be sad to leave but our family does
and must come first.
My ill
health has caused silver sewer a lot of heartache, frustration and stress; by moving
back south I will be able to link up again with the number one Consultant who treats the condition, and
understand perfectly the stresses and strains it imposes on the sufferer and
their family.
The palpitations,
which have ramped up a bit over the past week or so will also be treated by the
consultant I was under previously and who understands not to take me off vital
medication ‘to see what happens’.
I hope this
will put straight the misconceptions of the person/persons who have made several very hurtful
comments over the last 12 months. I doubt you will be ashamed of yourselves but
you should be.

Big hugs to you and sweet Silver Sewer.
Fret not over the comments some folks feel they have the right to make, good manners and kindness aside (as if there is a good excuse for that!).
Wishing you both well as you prepare for this move. I know there are many friends and family members who are delighted you are returning to their midst. Wishing good health to those in worrisome health, too.
Hugs!
Well said Mr Silver Sewer! - some people never learn the art of tact do they? Hugs to Mrs Silver Sewer xxx
hugs to you all there! Also wishing you good fortune in your move. WS xxx
What a shame that some people think the purpose of leaving a comment is to be hateful. I wish you, Silver Sewer and your daughter the best.
I don't understand how people can be so rude in their comments to a blogger.
I look forward to the daily going ons of you both.
Have a safe journey and I'm delighted you enjoyed your 3yrs where you are but I'm sure you will settle down once again nearer family.
I hope your DD health improves.
Sylvia
I am so sorry you are still receiving these awful comments.
I hope everything goes well with the move and DD1 is well again soon

Hugs to you both - and just try to ignore the spiteful posters - they are, I guess, just jealous of you both.

Well said. There are some unkind and vindictive people around, no doubt 'anonymous'.
Anne's blog has always been topical and interesting and there has never been any suggestion that you were not both happy with your decisions.
I hope the move will go well for you both.
Very well said!! I love reading here. I don't miss a day. Prayers everything turns out will for the daughter.
Blessings to you both and here's to a safe and uneventful move.
Concering ANON:
Jealousy is a nasty companion and the little creepy person that spews it here needs to find something better to do with their time. Small mind equals a small heart, I say.
Where you choose to live is nobody elses business except yours. This person must have a very sad life if all they do is ctiticise yours. Try and ignore them, hard I know because I have got a nasty person like that as well. Best to dump their ridiculous comments in the bin. Best wishes to you both.
Wishing you the best thruout this move and for a good outcome for your daughter.
I often read and enjoy but haven't commented before... how awful that someone feels they have the right to comment in a negative way. Spiteful and bad mannered are just a few things that spring to mind!
Blessings to you and your family for the future, may you be happy wherever you go.
Good luck to you both.
Well said, Mr. Silver Sewer. Good luck on your move. Thoughts are with your dd1 and yourselves hope the outcome is a proves to be good.

Much love to both of you on your move and ignore the silly comments, we can't please every body xxxx much love Froogs xxxx
Anne and Edwin (hugs) and well said.
Some people put their noses in where they are just not required - and with negativity to boot. I am so sorry you have been bothered by unnecessary vitriol and sheer lack of respect and understanding.
I have had the pleasure of actually meeting Anne and Edwin (SS and Mr SS) in person having spent time with them. They are lovely, hospitable and friendly, and a very lively couple despite being retired. You never quite know what they are going to get up to next.
Family comes first at the end of the day and I can understand Anne and Edwin want to be on hand to help with love and support to their dear ones at a difficult time. For that they should be celebrated alone. I hope DD1 makes a complete recovery with the support and love of her family and I for one am pleased they are coming back down South.
Anonymous get a life.
Love to both of you

Well said Mr SS, I hope the move goes smoothly and that DD1 gets the treatment she needs and on the road to recovery soon.
I have a friend with s daughter in similar conditions just further along the journey.....good luck xx
I'm sorry to hear that someone has been so mean to the both of you. Your reasons for moving only have to be justified to you and no one else. I'm sorry to hear about ill health in your family and hope things can be treated with a successful outcome. Hope your move goes smoothly and well. Hugs to all of you and good on you for putting someone straight about things that does not concern them! Take care. x
Oh Dear, why are some folk so spiteful. Maybe we ought to feel sorry for them because they must lead a very sad life.
All your blog readers (except one!) so enjoy reading your daily updates of your lives.
Ignore the idiots, they are obviously just out to upset you, God knows why. I'm sure I speak for the rest of your readers, that we wish you both well and that you enjoy your new home, but we want to hear about the stories that happen on the way!!!!!!
Kindest regards to you both Heather
Dear Silver Sewers husband,
Your blog today made me cry. I think it's absolutely disgusting for someone to write nasty and hurtful comments to you in any form let alone on a blog, how cowardly.
I would like to point out and would like the brave anonymous person to know, that this is an offence under the malicious communications act and to continue to send such messages also amounts to harassment. If they are seen by the public, I am a member of the public, this is also an offence under Section 5 of the public order Act. Please do send them and their comments over to my blog at Frugal in Bucks and I will be happy to end their commenting career.
Biggest hugs to you both.

Dear Mr Silver Sewer
Thank you SO much for sticking up for your lovely dear lady wife, you are indeed a wonderful chap.
Sadly there are too many idiots in life who seem to take pleasure at upsetting others, laughing at them; and our kids are taught in school that bullying is wrong - yet these adults are the ones they then go home to at the end of the day!
I've had my share of 'anonymous' too, although we all know who they are as my 'anonymous' isn't too clever or bright it seems.
Anyway, just carry on loving each other and supporting each other, and know that your dear silver sewer has 'proper' followers out here too.

Great to hear from you Edwin. The caravan stitching was for both of you. I love Anne's blog and it keeps us "close" even though we are separated by so many miles.
Ana
Mr SS, you are so sweet to comment regarding this and to set that commenter straight! I'm sorry your move is because DD is ill and pray that she has a full recovery. It is wonderful that you are able to move to be near her and help out.
I hope you move goes smoothly and you get settled in quickly. It will be nice that you can get back to your old doctors and they can help you, rather than try this or try that...they know what you need!
Please give SS my love...blessings to you both in you journey!
I suppose that pity for the trolls would be a Christian reaction but it would be a waste. Unfortunately there will always be the bad apple who just spreads spite and malice where ever they are, luckily they are a minority. Silver sewer is fortunate in her supportive husband.
Oh why cannot people live by the comment if you can't say anything nice then say nothing at all.
I glad you are supporting her.
It sounds like this move will be good for all of you. It's wonderful that you are able to make the move 'down south' and that there will be less stress for all of you. Good luck with the move and I look forward to your updates.
My best wishes to you both. How dare anyone be so mean minded in their comments during this understandably complicated time in your lives? I hope you have a smooth transition into this new phase of your life and that your family finds good health in your future.
Hugs from Michigan, Joan
Mr. Silver Sewer you are a doll!! You do not have to explain anything to us and certainly not the nasty commenter(s). I thoroughly enjoy the postings and learning about a life different but still the same as mine. Kind thoughts to you on your move, your health and that of your family. Your priorities are right where they should be.
Well said
Its not very nice when you bare your soul and offer intimitate insight into your lives and people are critical. Best to ignore negative comments and take comfort in all the nice ones:)
Strangely I prefer strangers to read my blog and not to share with people in my 'real life'
Nothing more to add really, just "chin up" and ignore her. The stagnant old bat is probably jealous of your "get up and go" proactive approach to life and all the rubbish it throws at you.
Hope she reads all these comments, big raspberry to her and hugs to you both. What a man Mr SS!!x
My husband and I have been travellng in Europe over the last year and have experienced a completely different attitude by people. I accept that we have been living in a motorhome on campsites but have seen (from afar) the vindictive/stupid/hateful/spiteful comments made on blogs/forums etc. These people really should be ashamed of themselves, but as you say, I doubt they are, but please never underestimate the positive support you received from followers and supporters. We all wish you and your family well at this extremely difficult time, and will, of course continue to follow SS's blog. Take care, AlisonB43 X
