I was scrolling through Facebook today and up popped Antonella with a link to her YouTube. I clicked on it and listened to her update on her health. I then clicked on some of her other videos of her cooking. I love watching her because she is so open and down to earth. What you see is what you get!😃😃

 

She made a delicious looking lasagna! I may have to size it down a bit and try it.

 

Has anyone else been following her on Facebook?

Oh, sorry! I guess I should have checked before starting this post.

I guess I have a different mind set about the Antonella posts. She seems like a wonderful person and with what she's facing in her life, any and all positive posts seem to make her happy. If we can't support and uplift those dealing with difficult times, then what the H*LL should we do? 
I'm sorry for sounding so harsh, but Kachina....your posts can be very negative and I would hope that if you were facing such challenging times in your life, you would welcome the concern from fellow posters. I hope there are many, many more threads about Antonella...and I hope she sees that many of us truly care. Positivity is what this world needs, especially now....and especially for Antonella.

I would guess what Kachina and others mean by the "many, many threads" comment was not that we don't want to send positive messages and support to AN, but that maybe so so many threads don't need to be started to do it.  Why not just post your thoughts/good wishes on an existing thread (and yes there are MANY of them)  rather than starting so many on the same subject.

@grandma petes.  There have been a number of conflicting reports on this issue, some from Antonella herself, as well as her early efforts to solicit funds from her fans.  I may be very wrong, and hope I am, but I keep getting the nagging feeling that we're  being conned.  Past behavior is a good predictor of future behavior so I think it prudent to proceed conservatively.  We constantly hear news reports about people who feigned serious illness to get sympathy and funds.  None of us really knows Antonella or anything about her character;  we really have no way of knowing if she's a wonderful person. We don't need misplaced positivity so I think it's best to proceed without going overboard.  I'm just wondering how we'll ever know the truth.

I appreciate your respectful and insightful response. I do agree that it is so hard to know when people are being honest or trying to pull at our heartstrings. I'm sorry I didn't try and see your opinion is just as important as everyone else's. Thank you for sharing. I apologize for being so judgemental.
