one of my slightly annoying Facebook friends just posted something alluding to her being at VA Tech when the shooting happened (8 years ago today). Um, we are the same age and went to a 4-year university at the same time, so you graduated in 2005 like I did. 8 years ago it was 2007. Jeebus, please bless me with the strength to not point this out on her status....

Yeah, I would have a hard time not saying something like "you were there! I thought you graduated in 2005"
FB annoys me in general though. I haven't visited my page in about a month. If someone contacts me through FB I am notified via email. That is good enough for me!

Post on her Facebook page you were on the grassy knoll and witnessed everything that fateful day in Dallas.

Would she have had a reason to be on campus after she graduated?
Maybe she thinks she wrote something about feeling connection because she is a graduate, but it came out wrong?

I'm thinking this might be it, but it would be nice to take her down a peg for once. Although maybe not over something this sensitive.  |

I work with a girl who was there when it all went down. She was the same major as one of the deceased and the same year if I my math is correct. (I didn't ask, I don't want to upset her). She's wearing a VT shirt today. That's all, no facebook, no public demonstration.

Ask her if she was with Brian Williams.  Glad I saw this before replying since I was going to ask if she was kin to Brian Williams  |

But why, when you do it so well?  Aw, go ahead...take her down a notch and then slap her with the belt. Tell her you slept with (thin) Elvis, lit Jim Morrison's fire and made Clint Eastwood's day.  |

Just cross your ankles, fold your hands in your lap, and say "that's nice". People will admire how graciously you have behaved. |

'Bless your heart' works well down here. It does. It has a nice patronizing tone about it. But "that's nice" is a bit more in your face. You have to know the joke about the woman whose husband bought her etiquette lesson for Christmas. |

I hide people on Facebook when I realize that they are actually making my life worse.
After a few months, I test the idea of bringing them back.

Did anyone read about the FB people/friends who asked the new mom to STOP posting every little thing her baby does? I had to laugh. Seriously people, stop with the tangents. I especially love my ex BIL, the only one who is still married because all the rest of the family cheated on their wives and ended up divorced, who posts constant religious posts about commitment and forgiving others. His wife cheats on him constantly because she supports his ass and doesn't respect him while he plays professional photographer!! Priceless. I always wonder if everyone reading those posts laughs their asses off like I do. |

If you care about someone but find their posts tedious or annoying, hide their updates. If you're indifferent to someone, just continue being indifferent. In this case there is obviously some hostility so just remove her. (from your friends list - not from the planet or anything) |

He occasionally posts pretty pictures. People get on tangents which makes them boring or look like idiots. Eventually they stop.

Looks like the only alternative is to just become a nice person.  |

C'mon. If we can't vent here, there's going to be more hate crimes!! I'm pleased that I haven't started venting yet about DH's bio's wedding but I'm going to need posters to talk me down, I just know it. Other than her complaining to him about him being remarried so she can't have Mr. and Mrs. On her invites while he was barely recovered from almost dying, she's been pretty quiet.
