There is a girl on my Facebook who is getting married and she constantly updates throughout the day (normally on Saturdays all day but sometimes weekday evenings too!) about the shoes, the dress, the suits, the flowers, the food, the reception, the guests, the seating plan, the colours, the venue, the fücking everything. And she isn't getting married for another year!

And she isn't getting married for another year!
Sounds like someone i know lol they got engaged after a few months of dating but the wedding isnt for nearly two years.
The venue was booked the day after the bloke got his divorce finalised and ever since then its non stop updates!
So far weve been updated that she has both venues booked and paid for, got her dress, got bridesmaids dresses, invites, favours, table decorations. All this at least a year and a half until the wedding!
The funny thing is, the engagement period will be longer than the length of his last marriage, from wedding day to divorce day! It seems a bit rushed to me.
The worst part is that this woman depends on her family financially because she never has any money yet has bragged three times that the estimated cost of the wedding is currently £18k!! This is a woman whos grandmother makes her kids packed lunches every day because shes too skint to buy food yet she can manage the cost of a big wedding!
I have a friend who loves the facebook attention of people thinking shes pregnant when shes not.
It started when she decided to do childcare at college but not everyone knew. She updated a pic of her babysitting with the caption "need all the practise i can get before the big day!" When people started congratulating her she corrected them but seemed to enjoy it.
A few months later she updated her profile pic to one of her stood on a beach with her boyfriend behind her with his hands on her belly (the stereotypical pregnancy pose). People started asking her and congtatulating her but she left it for a few days until she posted to say it was an old picture and she wasnt pregnant.
This carried on for ages with her putting cryptic messages and waiting for loads of responses before she said she wasnt pregnant. Recently she watched the film what to expect when youre expecting. Then she put as her status "now we know what to expect when we are expecting" and tagged her boyfriend in the status.
Finally finished reading this thread - not in 1 go you understand - and can't thank you all enough. I've laughed out loud on several occasions, not just at the copied statuses, but some of the comments about them have been pure 24 carat comedy gold.
Luckily, most of my FB friends usually post interesting funny stuff with only occasional mentions of kids etc which is fine. I've only ever deleted one person, a former work colleague. No idea why she added me as she was the type who would talk to you if she needed work help but completely blank you if you saw her in the corridor. She did this with other colleagues too, so wasn't just me. Anyway, her thrilling updates would include things like "Waiting for a train" etc. Or things like "Saw an epic fail on the tube today" but not actually say what it was, of course thereby expecting people to ask what it was. Always saying how poor she was and then posting "I gots me an iPhone" (her spelling). Several posts had my dying to post a sarcy reply such as when she had her hair done. "Blonde. Very blonde", which was begging for a "dumb, very dumb" response. She was also one one of those people who felt so desperate to appear cool by saying how she would've voted for Obama and how she'd loved to have been at his inaugaration. I would loved to have asked her which of his policies would have made her vote for him, just to see the blank look on her face. But despite being brutally sarcastic by nature, I felt it would've been bullying to have digs at such a simpleton. The final straw for me was when she started dating and would regularly discuss on FB what they were having for dinner. The delete button was finally reached for.
Anyway thanks all for the laughs, I would love to add all of you as friends. Oh, and has anyone checked to see if Jan's still dead recently?
A guy on my FB is on a cruise and constantly is updating where he is and what he's doing, which is OK, but he's doing it in a really annoying manner; the latest one is "currently walking up Mt. Vesuvius, as you do!" ugh.
I have a quick question about facebook, as I have just signed up to give it a go, I just need to clarify what I post gets seen by my friends.
Firstly if I comment on someone who has the globe on there status then that shows up on my other friends news feed. But if it has 2 people icon then that just goes on the news feed of anyone who is friends with both me and the person I am replying to. Is that correct?
But then what about like's does that show up on other people news feed, I know if it is a photo it does as I saw someone else did that yesterday with a photo which had the globe icon.
I also just want to check that nothing I post or comment to in a closed group only goes to members of the group while everything I type on an open group goes on my friends news feed.
Sorry about interrupting the status updates but you guys seem to know how facebook works so thought it would be a good place to ask.
By the way so far no really annoying updates from anyone yet on my news feed.
I deleted my Facebook two weeks ago because I couldn't stand the subtle bragging everyone did and since I was unemployed with no license or work experience and was sat at home every day applying for jobs, it boiled my blood logging in and seeing girls who'd just left school saying "got a job woooo start on Monday!".
What annoys me, though, is the fact that I actually had Facebook withdrawls. I felt really bored all the time and kept secretly wanting to log back in to see what everyone was doing. I ended up logging back in today to speak to someone from college (I don't have their phone number) and ended up not even bothering to delete it again. The bragging is still there and it annoyed me the minute I saw it, but at least if I keep the account open I can still keep in touch with people who need to contact me I guess.
Somebody on my FBs dad died a while ago- she decided to post the results of the inquest today.
Whilst I understand how upsetting losing a loved one is, does the entire world really need to know the cause of death?
There is a girl on my Facebook who is getting married and she constantly updates throughout the day (normally on Saturdays all day but sometimes weekday evenings too!) about the shoes, the dress, the suits, the flowers, the food, the reception, the guests, the seating plan, the colours, the venue, the fücking everything. And she isn't getting married for another year!
I knew someone like that too except it went on for over 3 years. Their actual marriage lasted for about 3 weeks.
I accidentally uploaded a photo of a bucket full of my own vomit last week. I didn't know I'd actually put in on Facebook til I saw one of my friends in person and she said "why the F did you put a picture of your sick on Facebook?" And I was thinking "ehhh? I did no such thing" then I checked...
Thing is, I did use Instagram to make an artistic photo of the vomit and uploaded it to there, but I thought that when I uploaded it, I had made sure I was not sharing the photo with my Facebook friends. It turns out that the picture was shared on Facebook and now I'm stupidly embarrassed
Congratulations me, you're an idiot!
Never mind the inadvertant sharing.... the question is WHY?
Someone on my list has just shared this gem, it's called through the eyes of a rapist;
"THROUGH A RAPIST'S EYES" (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Click Share Button To share it on your Wall.
It seems that a lot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a situation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world.
THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG...
FYI - Through a rapist's eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.
They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid
or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged
because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or
with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask
them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:
can't believe it is so cold out here, we're in for a bad winter. Now
that you've seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up,
you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a
particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it
is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and
make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he's out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ....
I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go "hmm I must remember that" After reading, forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you.... chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back
tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like
crazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has
saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or
parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be
hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the
passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you! u are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the
passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling
them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and
the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest
your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are
horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times;
And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a
good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better safe than sorry.

I've probably mentioned this before on this thread but will do so again because it annoys me so much.
New mums and mums of young children posting stuff about how being a mum is the hardest and best job in the world, what a great asset a mum is over every other role in the world, and lots of other self-congratulatory memes.
Stop thanking yourself! :mad: The time would be better spend thanking their own mums if they thought the job was so important.

I agree. While I do find it difficult at times being a mum its not as hard as these people on Facebook make out. I can sleep when my daughters sleeping, sit down and have a rest when I need to. I couldn't do any of this when I worked full time. So no, being a mum is not the hardest job in the world. It's a choice you make and should be enjoyed while it can.

Happy 1st Birtday to my Godson Ayedhon
Ayedhon? Even google didn't recognise that one. I assume the parents meant to write Aidan and had some kind of fit while doing it?
Could have been worse, if it was a fit the baby could have named "Ghcrifhrjkchwehdjker"
Maybe it's Aiden and she can't spell.
