I help moderate a facebook group (much smaller than yours) and stuff like this always surprises me.  If they want 24/7 moderation they should volunteer to help out as admins or be proactive about reporting spam.  I always assume admins will take care of things within 24 hours longer if it's a weekend.
Agreed! I check it at least once-twice a day, but it's like they expect me to live on there. I also had to step in on a spat between people that started attacking each other over musical training; these are middle-aged men.. It's ironic that a music-themed group actually interrupts me from making music with this sorta thing. It's more like a handful out of the 9000, but messaging me persoanlly, and complaining on every post just amplifies the issue lol Anyway, I run several of these groups, so I guess it just goes with the 'territory' :/

 
Haha, I'm sorry, but I find it so funny how angry people get on the internet over silly things! Mad about sunglasses! Grown men fighting! I understand that the internet is now a big part of people's lives, but they really need to gain some perspective!

Hah yeah, I mean with all of the evil that actually goes on online, it amazes me how people sweat the small stuff. Maybe, these people just lead a charmed existence lol But yeah, I feel like these guys misbave more than the teenagers I've worked with lol Yay for the inernet! I agree, they really need to get some perspective!

 
I have mosquito bites all over my feet from hanging out on my friend's porch, and they are really irritating me... literally.

Ugh, I feel your pain. A few years ago we went on a float trip. And chiggers thought I tasted mighty yummy. They we were all over my legs and I ended up having to go to the doctor and be put on antibiotics because I had so many and my body couldn't fight off the infection. It was WONDERFUL! <_<

 
That I had a BRILLIANT idea to drink a dr pepper ( I never drink caffeine) at 10pm and it's now 12:30am and I've gone on a cleaning spree. Goodbye sleep!

I know the feeling!  It's 2:05am here, and that trip to Starbucks earlier has got me wired.  I find caffeine can make me kinda tense/jittery too; makes it hard to just unwind and relax.  Despite saying all this, I'm quite certain that I'll do the exact same thing tomorrow though lol

I was trying so hard to do my gel earlier and my hands kept shaking. Then i started cleaning and running up and down the stairs so I think that helped some!

I can't even imagine how my nails would have turned turn out if I attempted something like that earlier; I'm so shaky to begin with lol I cooked some spaghetti and did the dishes, which also helped a little.  I have Starbucks cafe mocha instant-mix in my kitchen though, and I'm a bit worried as I tend to always cave-in when I have these hours and hours of formatting fonts and margins for school to do.  It's like I can't be productive without some form of excessive caffeinated drink (at least while doing these deathly-boring tasks) hah

 
The whole family is feeling poopy :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> runny/stuffy noses, headaches, sore throats... I feel so bad for my baby boy, he wasn't even able to eat right today because he couldn't breathe and of course couldn't take a nap either and was grumpy all day.

 
More birthday stuff. Stuff people have said lately.

1. I'm not supposed to miss the person I thought was my best friend. I still miss him after a year and a half and every time something good happens I still want to tell him about it or just talk about what's going on in our lives and in the world. "Quit dwelling on one friend. There are plenty of other people to make friends with out there."

Where? How? What the Hell? I didn't have friends before I started that job (they all know this) and I'm supposed to know how to make more now that it's over? Or want to make more after the way people who said they're my friends were only pretending to be my friend?

2. I'm not supposed to say it hurts and pisses me off when people plan a party for my birthday that includes dozens of people I don't know (and neither do the other 2 celebrants) and several people I never want to see again. "Feel free not to show up. You're such a damn debbie downer."

Really? I think I'm entitled to be sad and angry when people who say they're my friends don't care enough to even think about what I want or what I asked for. Did I ask a bunch of people I don't like and don't want to interact with if they would like to celebrate my birthday with me? No, I asked my friends, who apparently aren't anymore.

@@PeridotCricket birthdays are supposed to be celebrated in the manner that the BIRTHDAY person wants.  If the organizer does anything else, then they're celebrating themself, not you!  

And I don't know if it helps, but maybe you could start a journal written as a letter to your friend who passed away?  You have every right to grieve, and the desire to communicate with him is very natural.  Maybe having a way to communicate with him, even in your own thoughts, can give you some peace?

I'm so sorry for your loss, big hugs and Happy Birthday - in whatever way YOU want to celebrate it!  :hugs3:

I should have been clearer. He didn't die. He fired me to cover his own ass when our company was closing. End of friendship. But it still hurts.

OH gosh! I'm sorry!  I totally misread that.  Yeah that is a horrible thing to do, but the end of a friendship always hurts, too.  

And I stand by what I said about the birthday party  :wizard:

 
@@PeridotCricket I know how you feel, about your friend. I started noticing that the girl I considered my BEST friend had an issue with animals (The dog she had when we met she gave away to make room for a parrot that then died, so she adopted ANOTHER dog, whom she gave back to the shelter, then adopted a kitten who died of FeLV and so on...) and it got to the point where I felt like I wouldn't be a good friend if I didn't say SOMETHING, and she didn't take it well at all. Cut me out of her life entirely.

This was nearly ten years ago and it still hurts. Sometimes it hurts so bad, I just sit and bawl my eyes out. But I believe I was a true friend to her, whether she thought so or not, so I hope you can hold on to the same belief with your former friend. It does help. :hugs3:

Thank you. I'm all about the bawling lately. Can't stop crying sometimes.

 
Ugh off for a vacation of a lifetime and I'm super sick! Darn you flu virus!

 
I clean up my house 24/7, yet it always gets messy in the matter or seconds. #Cantkeepup!

It's not possible to just forget the years of friendship.  I think it's perfectly normal to still miss him.

 I am totally with you on not wanting to celebrate my birthday with people I don't know.  What were they thinking?
