Not that I have always looked forward to it, because for most of those years I worked hard to protect my daughter from making this decision too young in her life. But I can truthfully say that I knew that this day would come and have been thinking about what I would say in terms of counsel and wishes for my little girl and her new husband. ****** has always had an attitude of compassion to those around her. All through her school years she was loved by all who knew her. She has always been concerned about other people and was especially aware of those less fortunate and perhaps not as popular. She always sought for the best in others and helped them to feel valued. Now that sense of compassion reaches its apex in her life thus far as it becomes focused on the one man with whom she has chosen to spend the rest of her life. Putting the same compassion, love and energy into her husband that she has put into her friends will result in a truly remarkable partnership and friendship now and always. With time, that partnership will expand as ****** and **** welcome children into their family.***** will be an extraordinary mother and bring that trait of compassion and selflessness into the life of a child. Who would not want a mother as beautiful, talented and loving? I love you, Baby. Your happiness is my happiness. She replied: I love you too dad. Way to make me cry!!! Father replied: Does the truth hurt? Her reply: No papa. Tears of joy from being so loved by you! Better put on those walking shoes and start practicing your trek down the aisle by my side! It made me cry too but not for the same reason as her.

I find the ones along the lines of ''ten ways to confuse people'' with a list of madap things to do for a laugh, quite good. People who constantly post about 'negativity' and 'drama' yet seem to generate ttheir fair share of it, annoy me. I knew someone who made a big show of being sweetness and light and when I removed her from my FB page, I found that there was no friction or petty arguments going on on my posts anymore. Another one is announcing you are going for a bath or to bed, every single time you are going to have a bath or go to bed.

I have a friend who sends a snap every morning giving out about how she had to get up, some stage during the day complaining about work, one in the evening of her son and finally one at night letting me know how many hours of sleep she's going to get. Every day.

FullblownRose wrote: » That's helpful! What does FYP mean? Now maybe you would explain what the reposted status meant so I could see what was wrong about it? I don't understand what it meant or what was wrong about it, having followed the kidnaping story since before it broke on mainstream news. I won't hold my breath...

FullblownRose wrote: » but some people talk like that, maybe too... straight to the point, but that doesnt mean they havent thought much about it or don't care or that they're intentionally being facetious. I think some of the more long winded posts Ive read about various serious things are, sometimes, all padding and very little real genuine meaningful content in there apart from the frilly and flowery and carefully thought-out wording.

Custardpi wrote: » No worries, I was just pointing out that describing the ideas of hardcore jihadists like BH as "19th Century" is both far too lenient & actually quite inaccurate since their aim is to return to their vision of how things were in the 7th Century beginnings of Islam.
Nidgeweasel wrote: » That was at the end of an incredibly long post full to the brim of unadulterated ****e. That was the bit I could pull without it being readily identifiable as per the instructions. And it isn't sincere or accurate. It's an imbecile of a man trying to look intelligent who was attempting to draw comparisons between the famine era and what's going on in Nigeria. It wasn't a specific, little has changed in Nigeria since the 19th century it was a generic talk about the famine and then when you think about kidnapped girls in Nigeria little has changed since the 19th century. A ridiculous statement in any event.
