Thread: My Dad

  1. #1

    My Dad

    As you may have heard my father is dying from brain and lung cancer. Now I have been told from members on here that because I have'nt got a girlfriend me and my father should "Go and get a *****"
    I do'nt know what this thing is to make trouble with any guy that has not a girlfriend and saying this....
    And you call yourselves Elvis fans, you should be ashamed. I am so ashamed to think these people are Elvis fans, I am now no longer a fan, if this is the sort of filth that it is part of.
    You are sick.

    Dave....I have no idea who would have said something that classless, but please realize whoever it was is in a small minority here. We all posted many good wishes and prayers on your thread about your Dad....and I for one continue to keep you and he both in my prayers. It has nothing to do with Elvis fans...there's always a bad apple in every cart. It also has NO bearing on the man himself...

    Oh my !! I guess I missed that I'm so sorry some nut said that to you.
    I keep your dad in my prayers and you as well.
    Please believe me; it's not Elvis fans. Whoever would say such a thing ,would say it no matter where they were. Some just think they're cute coming out with crap like that. Pay no attention to those kind of people.

    Oh wow, I'm so sorry that someone came on here and said that to you. I bet if you and that person were face to face they wouldn't have the guts to say it to you to your face. Nope, they're hiding behind a computer screen saying it. I really hope that your father is getting better.

    I'm very sorry too

    I don't know why some people told you that...I don't understand what's wrong with a person who is single. I'm single too and I don't think to have something less than a married person or someone who has boyfriend/girlfriend.

    Moreover I don't understand the link with the fact your dad feels bad

    I ask you sorry for those insensitive people and you haven't to believe all members here think the same...being Elvis fan should make us be better...we have to take example to his big soul

    Good luck to you and your dad will be in my prayers

    Dave, i am sorry that you and your father had to receive a message which was so cruel, i would be angry as well, but, please don't punish Elvis for it, it is not his fault, and any decent fan here is on your side.

    Some of us are scared of getting involved with women. I am over 50 and would like to get married before it's too late. I am not that forward in going out to get a woman for personal comfort. I have been told that I am too much of a gentleman to get a girlfriend. Doesn't manners count these days?

    Who was the ***** that said that, Dave...

    I can't believe some people.

    Once again all my best to your dad and the family.

    Dave,
    Did that happen in the chatroom? I've been in there a couple of times and there's an ***** that comes in there and says some off the wall stuff! You must know that's not how the rest of us feel. Unfortunately, it is true that's there's always a bad apple in every cart!

    Forever Best Friends

    Hya Dave...............we know the problems this site has...........they cant get the stupid people out of here. Time the admins woke up............it takes one to upset many. That one should not be kept anonymous and should be removed from this site. So if anyone has a complaint about one person, or about more........... then air your views and name them. Best wishes to you and your poorly father. You have my deepest sympathy and respect. Please take care. from a true Elvis Fan.
    If all the modern music was the oceans - then Elvis would be the boat on which we sail.

    Dear Dave, I'm terribly sorry learning about all these..I'm sure the ugliness of those certain people,has nothing to do with Elvis or your other friends..hope you won't give up being an Elvis fan..please go for justice and don't blame the victim..Those so called fans even hurt Elvis's memory as well and kinda enjoy this..really sick..they are just,miserable ,hopeless people who cannot learn anything from Elvis who was one of the very gentle hearts that walked on earth and was a most loving and kind spirit..please try to ignore them cause obviously, they are at the very beginning of their journey of being a human..the most important thing is your father and his being at peace and comfort till his time comes ,yet I still hope of a total cure for his cancer..hugs

    Whoever said that should be bloody well ashamed of themselves....people like that add nothing to the world not just to an internet site.Please don`t think that we are all like this,we aren`t...there are plenty of good people around..but unfortunately there will always be the sad little twisted ones as well.Don`t let this put you off being an Elvis fan or coming here to share you thoughts and opinions.As before,my thoughts are with both you and your dad.Take care.

    Dave, I realize that when a person, has a loved one, that is suffering, you will tend to take from what some people say personally, please just ignore this person that said this to you, maybe this person needs a psych evaluation, or ???, it is a shame, that a person can be so small minded, you have a lot of support here as you can see, working as a hospice RN, i see and hear a lot of these small minded people that don't have a life themselves, we are all here for your father, you and your family, so please keep being strong, and you must take care of yourself too, keep the faith in being an Elvis fan, because Elvis did bring us all together, my thoughts are with you Dave.

    My prayers are with you and your family.

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...

    Dear Dave,
    I'm sorry that you had to go through this awful experience. There will be always that kind of people and the best thing to do is try and ignore them. I'm sure that the person who gave that sick comment in your previous thread is not a true Elvis fan. Please don't stop being a fan because of this insensitive statement of an obviously sick person.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dad. I hope your dad is getting better and you will find a way to get through these hard times.

    hi dave and suspicious minds

    hi dave firstly that is terrible news that your poor dad is dying and the person who was nasty to you , we dont need people like that anywhere.
    obviously they have a big problem with themselves, but you should not let them affect your being a elvis fan as already has been aptly said.
    ive found most Elvis fans to be kind caring and sharing too .

    I myself am a 44 yr old female who isnt married neither do i have a boyfriend, or should i say man friend .
    im nervous person who has been overweight all my life, so ive been taken the mickey out of all my life, which in turn almost killed all my confidence, so i could never even contemplate getting a boyfriend.

    ive learned to live with my limitations now, but i do have many friends through my love And Respect for Elvis Presley.
    and a loving family too, so im not exactly bereft .
    i pray you have the confidence to ignore nasty people, i too have encountered 1 or two of them, who hated me as i am a elvis fan, but ive learned to try and rise above them, and its them with the problem not us is it not .

    godbless you dave and your dad too
    and in answer to suspicious minds yes manners do indeed count
    respects julie

    Sorry you received such an awful message, Dave. You and your father are in my thoughts
