Son’s wedding dilemma.

I have only just caught up with this thread Marydoll that is awful I hope you have reported the person as it’s very very unkind thing to happen to you and you don’t deserve them sucking the happiness out of your day like that
Keep your chin up x

As we have met a few times, I hope that is a complement Jane ??

The poster is still posting, but hopefully has now realised she totally got the wrong end of the stick. Best to check your facts first.

Marydoll whoever sent you that PM picked the wrong person! They've probably left GN by now.
OP - go to that wedding.

MaryDoll, the PM says more about the writer than you. Onwards and upwards, please do put this behind you and enjoy GN for the lovely people on here rather than the keyboard warriors.
Bluebellwould, there are some brilliant mask patterns on t'internet which are very easy to sew if you are up to it.
Lucy2, dangerous and irresponsible advice can kill. Most rational people would see this advice as being laughable but unfortunately, that is not always the case and I am sure you would not want to be responsible for the death of someone from Covid.

Marydoll, I hadn’t been following this thread recently until idly clicking on it just now, when I saw the post you’d written yesterday. How mean.

Marydoll I am beyond words. Suffice to say this person is despicable and vicious. Don't let her spoil your lovely memories of a wonderful day. Take care of yourself

There are some lovely masks on Etsy, for weddings or general wear.....

I haven't read all the posts, so apologies if someone else has said this, that there are some absolutely fabulous mask designs out there. Once you have your outfit, go online to get the best one for you. There is actually one for a Bride, with lovely lace over the basic mask. I wanted to order a blue 'William Morris' design but they were sold out.

No decision. Easy. Go to your sons wedding.

I think it's time to call and end to discussion about the PM I received. Speculation only leads to people being falsely accused. We should feel sorry for the obviously unhappy poster who wrote it and move on.

You have all been very kind and let's all wish Bluebellwould a very happy day!

Also Marydoll by the style of writing I could actually hazard a guess, but that's neither here nor there.

Oh Marydoll what a vile thing this person has done.

Definitely go, wish I could go out, still isolating after a operation. I can’t wait to go out again. Do it ??

You must go you will only live to regret it.

Have a wonderful day with your lovely son and family- you made the right decision! ???
marydoll what a cruel and vile thing to happen to you and cowardly that this person had to pm you instead of writing on an open forum. You certainly are the better person for not ‘outing her/him’ - not sure I would be as gracious! and virtual hugs.

Marydoll
There are a few horrible posters, but thankfully many more nicer ones.The poster who sent you that is twisted and bitter and not worth even bothering about.A coward too, for not posting publicly.
PM’s are meant for friendly exchanges, or information, not for underhand digs.

Yes, of course you must go. A chance to do something exciting and 'normal'. As most of the guests will be nurses, they will understand that you are a bit nervous, and just think of the wonderful face coverings that will be on display.

Enjoy yourself.

Oh Marydoll what an awful thing for someone to do. I hope you manage to rise above it, you’re much better than that person is and remember what goes around comes around. Stay strong and keep smiling.

There’s bonkers advice and there’s dangerous bonkers advice.
Now, how to put this politely?

Sometimes politeness just doesn't get through!
Lucy2 please do not give out unsolicited, dangerous pseudo medical advice on public forums.

Just ignore the malicious poster, she had no right to PM you.
Do not name and shame as you need to be the better person, and it is obvious you are. Like you said you do not want to stoop to that level.
I hope the person who sent you that message reads this thread and reflects on what they have done.

By all means go ! Just have some hydroxychloroquine, zinc and a Z-pack on hand if your doctor will give it to you. All this mask and human spacing is just destroying our immune systems. Such a unnecessary loss of life because of terrible medical tyranny. Have a great time and God bless you!

There’s bonkers advice and there’s dangerous bonkers advice.
Now, how to put this politely?
To suggest our immune systems are being destroyed by a few months’ social distancing and wearing of face coverings in a closed spaces is, well, bonkers.
Medical tyranny? That would be like sterile operating theatres/delivery rooms/equipment/syringes and scalpels, right? Dreadful things- of course nobody ever died under the knife or in childbirth in the olden days when our immune systems hadn’t “been destroyed” by nasty antiseptics.
I think by all means go is what most people would counsel, take sensible precautions, trust your own common sense, and stick to the guidelines which are clearly being observed.
And enjoy it!
As for the hydro-whatsit and the sync and a Z pack whatever that is, forget them!

Marydoll ???? We all admire and love you for your funny novellas and positive aspect on life. Keep going my friend.

Hydroxychloroquine is also a common RA drug, which requires monitoring and annual eye tests.
Not the best of advice to give.

Bluebellewould, your outfit sounds lovely. I do like the idea of the matching mask and ribbon on your walking stick. I wish I had thought of that.

Someone has been listening to Donald

Lucy2

I cannot believe you are recommending hydroxychloroquine.
That is antimalarial medication! That is NOT a preventive measure!

Masks are destroying our immune system?
