My grandmother died from dementia related symtoms, and I didn't find your thread at all offensive. For those of us who have lived with dementia, we know that often the only way to get through the day without crying or screaming is to laugh at the condition...So post away. Ann has summed up the situation perfectly

Hi Colin agree with you and Ann
I read the thread and did'nt find anything offensive

I would like to apologise to you LA.
I posted a joke as well on your thread.
Maybe it was mine that got yours pulled?

Sincerely appologise.

I wasnt offended but I do respect the fact others may have been hurt by it..

Mildred, i work with dementia and Altzheimers patients, and their relatives. I have the utmost respect for both parties.
I feel for the relatives because it is so upsetting for them, but at the same time, the majority do have a sense of humour.
I am not dissagreeing with you, just no offence was meant.

like i said, my nanna had dementia and she died on february 14th 2007 valentines day... she never knew i was pregnant, i went into labour that day and had my son on 16th february 2007,..... she never got to see her great grandson......
I'm still in pain over this and the hurt that illness has done to my family, i cant even cry...
Teresa if i can see there was nothing wrong with your thread, then i think the person/s who got it pulled should see my words to know what pain and sorrow is, I'm not the only one to be affected by this illness and will not be the last...... i look at my son and see hope and that gets me through it...
I need to see and hear laughter.... not pettiness and bitterness....
Bless you Teresa for trying to bring humour into our lives.
take care

I know you meant no offence, I also know Teresa also diddnt mean any offence either.:o))

My point Its just that I wish people wouldnt assume that because they or their friends wouldnt be offended or upset by something, that the same should apply to everyone.

It may have offended someone, or upset them, or maybe they thought the joke was in poor taste ...maybe when doing a sweep of the boards Gr spotted it and removed it for their own reasons,,,,,,,,,,,,,.who knows ?

Its gone & its move on time :o))

Leanne,

Hello to everyone else, thank you all for your support and reassurance. Just to let you all know that
The post did not get pulled by GR I deleted it myself. Please can this be the last of it now. Thank you. Take care .xx

Thanks Teresa

Thanks for clarifying that, I re read and you did say that in you opening post (sorry)

It was just as I read through the first time someone mentioned reporting and I based some of the content of my posts on that really.

Obviously people on your thread were upset and you had the grace to remove it, and apologise. But again I say its daft to want to not post again, just take things on board and move on :o))

(bet you wont post a similer joke again lol...I diddnt when it happened to me way back )

:o)))
