I will be returning back home today and things will be getting hectic I have solved one of my Problems and that is my Son I did not say or tell that on the Day I received the Letter about my Landlord possibly loosing the Property I am renting of me, that my Son was badly beaten up by 4 Men in their 30s-40s, no they do not know my son, in their own words while they where drugged up it was for Fun, they splattered it all over Face book which one of my Son's Friends saw and printed of My Son is a lot better now but where he works (he works in a Night Club ) are making sure that someone will pick him up and take him home While I have been here he has been using my Car When I get back home I will be running around trying to sort my Life out with the Move and sort out a couple of Neighbours Only my closes Friends which are 4 know what is happening and going on Well one of my Friends was approached by one of the Guys on the Field, he has no job, no intentions of getting one, is a gossip and very annoying, I have been polite to him and talked to him but he was starting to become a Pain, he was always talking about People which I eventually asked him to stop doing, as I do not like it I am a private Person as such I do not announce things to everyone in the Neighbourhood so it sometimes annoys People that they do not what is going on with me, well this Bloke approached my Friend and said, he heard that I had canceled a Hospital appointment just to go and see my Son My Friend told him, before he starts gossiping he wants to get his facts straight and stop telling People lies about others She also told him even if that had been the case it is no ones business, she left it at that Well, I will not be leaving it at that, I will have polite words with him and tell him to keep out of my business which he knows nothing about and instead of gossiping about People how about stopping bragging how he always mucks up the Job Interviews and starts to get a Life, he has not worked in 15 years and knows how to get the System, as he says, well that is none of my Business, but it is my Business when People make stories up just because they do not know what is really go on I am very angry about this, it makes me mad when People do things like this I have enough going without some Idiot gossiping Do you like to Gossip ????

At my former job, gossip was sometimes the only way to learn anything, but while I tried to avoid it, I did sometimes end up listening to it. I sure didn't spread it. I'm glad your friend tired to set him straight, he's a boob...

People want to mind their own business just because someone has never married does not mean anything I just don't get why People have to jump to conclusions

I hate gossip. I don't listen to it or participate in it. I, too, am a private person and like to keep it that way. Most of my neighbors think I'm a "hermit"... Hope all goes better for you, your son, et al.

Gee whiz Gabs, when it rains it pours. That guy was being nosy, fishing for some info. I don't like gossiping ole busy bodies that have nothing better to do with their lives. I do my best to not say malicious stuff about others. I think we all gossip some, not in a bad way. I think by now you know my character, so I hope you understand what I am saying. I don't really consider chatting with friends and talking about stuff is always gossiping, although some would say it is. Thats the kind of gossiping I am talking about, I do that, but not in a mean or nosy busy body way. Inquiring minds want to know............. Thats horrible what happened with your son. I hope he heals quickly and they catch he bad guys...........

Gabs I am so sorry all this is going on. But I am glad that you were able to be with your son when he needed you. I am sure this helped him. I try never to gossip and will keep secrets forever even after the one who told me has told others. I think people who gossip have ego problems and feel that the information they give out makes them important to others. That is just terribly sad and always a great deal of that info in not even true. Blessings to you as always and know that you are in my prayers. I wish I were closer and could help more.

First, I am so sorry to hear about your son...that was terrible what happened to him. No, I don't like gossip. I am not going to sit here and lie and say I have never gossiped before, however, to say stuff that is hurtful and making stuff up is something I have never done. I might say something like so and so is being a b@tch today...however, I would tell that to someone's face as well. I don't believe in making stuff up to hurt someone...that is totally uncalled for. I am the type of person that I will tell you anything you want, but ask me, don't just assume things or ask other people...that bothers me. I believe that people that gossip have a completely boring life and have other better to do than to make stuff up about other people. You really have to almost feel sorry for people like that.

people do love talking about things that they really do not know have anything about.Just think of it as your life maybe too colorful and are too juicy for them to talk about, unlike them.. their lives are too bland.

No, I do not like to gossip, but it is an easy habit to fall into, if I am around others who are doing so. It is embarrassing when you get caught at it though. I make it a big point to avoid it. I am so sorry about your son getting beat up. I hope they catch those guys.Or did they already? I hope you have an easy go of finding a new place and getting moved.

Oh my! Were those hooligans charged? What is it with idiots who think they can post criminal acts on Fasebook and not get caught? Recently, some young "men" (and I use the term loosely) posted a gang-bang they participated in. Of course they were caught and charged.

Hi gabs, I hate gossip. It causes so many problems for people and often destroys lives. Gossips never get their facts straight. By the time something has been repeated a few times there are never any traces of truth left, even if there was some at the beginning. People should just mind their own business. Blessings.

Hi. gabs8513. This is very sad! Why would someone beat up your son like this? I know that filing a police report would be the best thing to do in this situation. These guys should be arrested and charged with assault and battery with the intent to kill! What makes me very confused is that your son did not know these guys that attacked him and beat him all up! I wonder if someone paid these guys to beat your son up? The main person is behind all of this. He just got these guys to do his dirty work for him. And how can this guy be so concerned about you going to see your son at the hospital? This is your business. He should have had more respect for you and your son. I am glad that your friend told him off. Serves his nosy azz just right! I am relieved to know that your son is getting an ride from the night club after work. This is the smart and safe thing to do! I hope that your son stays safe and that you will be okay while he is healing.

You sure don’t need any more complications at this point Gabs! I don’t like gossiping because whenever I hear things being said about other people I can’t help but wonder what is being said about me and whether it’s the truth. I do try not to be tempted to listen to gossips and it is wise to remember that what you hear is not necessarily always correct information either. Ignore this idiot…

Hiya gabs, I don´t like People talking about other People like that and I have been in those Shoes as well. As far as I know I probably still am being talked about. It is annoying a bit in a way because I have done absolutely nothing to these People and I live two thousand and 500 miles away from them. Perhaps that makes it even much better for them to gossip about me. Seeing as I cannot control what they do nor do I want to hope it makes their lives a bit brighter so be it if that´s what they want. But someday they might get talked about in the same kind of way and then just then they will know how it feels won´t they? When I was back in England I found out from the Woman in the Chemist across the Road what they were saying and the whole Street were tongue wagging about me yet I never see them how do you like that? The Receptionist in the Doctors told me that I was better off going back home rather than sacrificing myself like that. I was gobsmacked o say the least for a while and I thought if only I could get paid for being so famous even on such a small scale. I was there trying to look after my Mom while she was so ill and they did everything they could for me to go back Home. She was so ill I could not take her with me. Because I did want her away from them as they were making her much worse. Oh what a tangled web they weaved for me and none of it was true. I don´t even know who started it but I have a pretty good idea now as I was dropped a few hints by someone in the Hospital where I went to see Mom as well. Just amazing just to say I know how it feels to be a victim of totally unfounded Stories. Now I think it´s quite funny I have to laugh it off what else can I do.

Hi Gabs..Well, I haven't been around too much and then when I come back I have to hear something terrible like this about one of my most favorite friends..Pay them no mind Gaby..They do not matter. I know its hard, especially when the gossip is about someone you love but you just have to laugh at them and their stupidity and turn your back. And as you walk away, may Gissi pee all over his leg!! Love you J

I hate gossip. I don't know what is happening with my neighbours and am not really interested. I remember my mums attitude to people who were gossiping and nasty to others behind their back, she used to say,' they always say nice things about you'. It stopped lots of gossip. People like this man make me angry because there are so many people who are genuinely looking for work who have problems with benefits because people like him are abusing the system. I'm sorry to hear about your son, I hope life gets better for you soon. Take care, hugs to you.

I can not stand gossip. I don't like it when someone talks about another. In fact, I have been known many times to tell someone not to do that around me. Also, if someone does not have anything nice to say about someone I will tell them not to say anything at all.

Hi Gabs! Sorry to hear about your son gettng beaten up recently; people don't seem to need a reason to hurt other people these days - they just do it because they can. People aren't safe to go out at night on their own now - you just never know if you are going to be the next one to be "jumped" or mugged. A sad state of affairs, isn't it. Anyway, I hope your son recovers ok. As to gossip - I abhor it, I can't stand it. It can cause so much damage and hurt. This is how strongly I feel about gossip - if I am in the company of someone who starts gossiping, I have to ask them to stop, or else I have to leave. I don't want to be a part of it.

OMG Gabs! I'm so very sorry about your son. I see that I picked sometime to go away. I will talk to in private, but as for nosy people who have nothing better to do then gossip, I think that no matter where in the world you live "they're there"!! You know, much like garbage, vermon other low lifes. Where I live there was an "two old ladies" (sisters) who lived next door and would sit on their stoop watching everything and everyone all day talking sh!t about everyone, but to your face, lied! And then there's the "group" of about 6 or so women who sit out on the benches or with their chairs in the nice weather also watching, gossiping. So, like I said, it's everywhere, and it annoys me, but it's what people do~And unfortunately, some of them really enjoy it!

NOWAY! I hate gossip. I am one that nips that stuff in the bud. I know what it is to suffer and to want to do it by myself. I hate gossip. If they say "they said" I ask "who said?" That stops it pretty quick. If they are extreme...I say I'm gonna ask...lol..there are people out there that have no life and live for any excitement they can get. I isolate myself from them but in all honesty..it makes them more curious.
