Re: How Predictable
Whoa. I have known Renee since middle school and she quite an incredible person. She was dealt a sh!ttty hand in the health dept. How would you handle nearly a decade of your life fighting cancer? She's doing a pretty damn good job, Veronica.
I don't know Veronica or the parties involved but I am proud to say that Renee does have people in her life that are the exact opposite of them. That entire post is sad. sad. sad.
I don't think her real name is Veronica. I think based on her intro post it's Erin.
I saw that after, thanks NorCal. Sadly, this town is veerrry tiny. I hope Renee doesn't see this.
My bff went to hs with the OP...I wonder if she knows her.
I did and I know who she is. Maybe I know your bff - I'm nice though.

back at you. too funny!
This excerpt from chain- smoking friend's email makes ME want to puke...
"I honestly, don't know if we would be friends if she didn't have cancer. Meaning, I don't know that we would click as people if we had met before she got sick - because those types of moves are made by people with personalities that make me want to puke."
This whole thing makes me so sad for the sick friend, Renee. She doesn't need "friends" like this...
I am absolutely flummoxed that a post that begins with this:
She has had cancer for a LONG time and it has been a very uphill battle. It started with Ewings Sarcoma in her hip bone, then moved on to her brain and is now in her lung. It's been about 6-7 years since she was first diagnosed so needless to say it's been pretty excruciating.
Ends like this:
Then I started to think about it......it is MY birthday and if I feel like getting rip roaring drunk on the boat, I want to be able to. The evite said, "BOOZE CRUISE" so drinking was indeed the main event and if my friends wanted to smoke cigs, I wanted them to be able to. As much as I want to cater to everything Renee needed, I didn't want to put a damper on the night.
Back atcha!
It takes just one post and blog URL
To make years of friendship just go to Hell.
Though you tried to DD,
Sad for you, there was me.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small small world.
And wow to this hot_ass mess. My first call was MUD, because really? Do people like OP really exist? I mean, I think they do, but they are usually WT 16 year olds who don't understand priorities and life in general.
Wow. Just wow.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
I am just catching up on this and I know Renee and think you are a real crappy friend posting this on a public forum where people who potentially know her would read it.
You should feel ashamed of yourself and then posting her blog on here! Wow. Good friend.
that was a good call.
Holy guacamoley. And I thought I was a bad friend.

I feel so sorry for Renee. I hope she hasn't gotten word of this going around.
weemz: just wanted to let you know that I am taking legal action here....this is called slander and it is illegal (look up myspace bullying case where girl?committed?suicide- this is the same thing). i have reported & filed a case against you to the nest, and to my attorney (who happens to by my father so looks like I don't need to incur all those legal fees and can go all the way with this one!).?
the link was deleted from the website because of a request from renee, who has been deeply hurt by something that was supposed to be anonymous. ?the amount of time you have taken to ruin several peoples lives is mind boggling.?
so you can continue to do whatever you want, post it on the website as many times as you feel?necessary.... everything you do is being watched &?documented.?
LOL
Erin, you lost anonymous when you linked Renee's website on a LOCAL board and used your friend's name. I'd drop it on here. You should be more concerned with groveling at the moment.
I'm sorry sweetie but you are SOOO barking up the wrong tree. How do you go on an ORANGE COUNTY message board talking about someone who has cancer, linking her website to your post and think anything is annonymous. Nobody slandered you... You gave the story and asked for opinions. You got them.
Good luck to you and your Daddy.
Srsly?
What is your definition of slander? It was all your own doing.
eta - clearly there is a whole shitstorm as a result of this, and I feel really horrible for those stuck in the middle.
That said - five stars - for the mention of a lawsuit.
I can't imagine you showed your father the post word for word because I would imagine he would be disappointed and a little bit ashamed that this is the kind of person he raised.
