Someone told me by FB email that a mutual friend was a ''cold'' person, because they left a group message. Those things can go on for ages with lots of inane replies.

Yeah... god forbid we have our own lives that aren't actually focused around the other person at all or anything...

Settle down there, leave the cat videos out of this.

cats are grand but I have seen a cat before.I dont need to be shown one every time I log in

The missing persons posts are awful as well. Often stories that are years old and the person was found safe & well ages ago.

These are by a friend of a friend who friended me! I tried to talk to her to see if I could help but she got quite snarky and agressive with me. This is the general carry on:

I wish you felt the way I did...that way you can feel my pain.

Make the shadows go away. . .

Dont ****ing sit there and ask to ****ing talk to me, then ignore me. That's not how that **** works

Dont ever tell me you love me, without meaning it in the best way possible.

I hate being put on the ****ing back burner.

"Unfriend"!

Woman I know from America just got engaged. Her father posted this:

I have been waiting for this moment for over twenty years now. 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.

Every now and then I think I might activate it again but instead look at this thread and remember how stupid people are.

A friend of mine asked for unusual name ideas for her imminent newborn. Obviously, insisting that it MUST be a name someone has suggested on FB is strange. 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.

snapchat seems to have become the new outlet for that. 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.

Custardpi · 27-05-2014 03:19PM

Maybe it's just me but the above comes across as a bit creepy. By any chance did they do one of these ceremonies when she was younger?

Does she send them to everyone? I'm getting old because the whole snapchat thing has passed me by…

I don't know what it is for. Someone said here that they must be getting old because Snapchat passed them by but when I was 16, 18, 21 I wouldn't have known or cared about Snapchat then either, cause I didnt go in for silly pointless stuff like that. Im kind of amazed that Im on FB, but the only reason is when I signed up, people used to write relatively original stuff and it was a bit different somehow. I used to have a bit of craic apart from that one weirdo who announced she was going to have a bath every day. I have to wonder if she had an inferiority style complex because someone one implied she didnt smell nice or isnt clean, or something. I told her she must be wearing a hole in the bottom of the bath.

Ok what exactly's wrong about that statement? Is it too flippant? Boko Haram have 19th century ideals regarding the education of girls, so it kinda makes sense to me. What am I missing here?

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 don't understand the editing of my reply where I agreed they have 19th century ideals, to 7th century. I think we an all agree they are retrograde and primitive in their beliefs.
I won't hold my breath for a sensible/ dignified response...

Take a deep breath....FYP means fixed your post and in this case the poster who used it is agreeing with you but adding 12 centuries to your estimate of Boko Haram's regression and repression.

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.

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.

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.
