rumors

Obviously there are many factors here.  Just curious, how long have you been married and has this kind of thing happened before?  Also, you do have the right to call this person back and just flat ask her what proof does she have of anything and do not let her be the intimidator it sounds like she is trying to be.  I sure wish you the best.  It hurts when people do things like this, whether it is a malicious gossiper or a spouse. Also, do you know someone who knows this person other than your husband that you could maybe find out what kind of person she is?

Please do not start rumors about IAMS - perhaps in the past what you posted may have been true but if YOU, the poster, researches IAMS - you will find you are just starting unfounded rumors today in 2006!

To make a sort of long story short...I picked my daughter up from school yesterday right before her last class of the day. She had no idea I was picking her up early.  (she missed school earlier in the week due to strep and had to work last night so I wanted to give her a little extra time to get her make-up work done.  She has art 7th so I knew that would not be anything major to miss.  Anyway, I saw one of my son's friends while I was waiting for my daughter.  We didn't get to speak cause they were changing classes and she was in the middle of a group of kids.  After school during play rehearsal she told my son that she saw me and told him I had to get my daughter early becuase she had cut her hand.  Another friend then chimed in that it was bleeding really bad.  They were totally serious.  These are good girls and I don't think they thought they were lying or just making a joke.  They really believed this.  I have no idea where they got their info and there is absolutely no truth to it what-so-ever.  Honestly I think this is funny.  I am not upset at all...just wondering how rumors get started and how they grow and grow and grow. 

Imagine that you have pancreatic cancer.  Imagine that you are hopeful you will beat it because you were fortunate enough to have it detected early.  Imagine that you're undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy and any other holostic therapy you can find to battle for your life.  Then imagine seeing your face plastered on some gossip magazine with the heading "your name Only Has 5 Weeks to Live" What do you think that would do to your will to fight?

Then imagine your spouse's face as he/she reads it.  Then imagine your kids when they come home from school to tell you that so-and-so just told them that you're going to die in 5 weeks, is that true?

Now instead of using your energy to fight your battle with this ugly disease, you are spending it to console your spouse and children.  I'm guessing next week the gossip columns will show him in a casket.  Will you spread that rumor?  Where's your compassion?
