Success after IF
S/O- FB- what are your FB pet peeves?
Mine right now has been born courtesy of my personal friends. I can't stand it when people get on facebook and beg for money or something like that. So many of my friends talk about how broke they are and send out a generic request begging for money. It is in bad taste, and DH and I hate it.

Re: S/O- FB- what are your FB pet peeves?
I hate people who post non-stop. Like tell me there every second of every day. No, I do not know you needed to pee and then ate at taco bell and then took a left at the light...
Oh, and people who publicly fight with people on Facebook. Please, air your dirty laundry someplace where you do not have 200 "friends" listening.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

I can't stand the people who constantly complain. It is ok sometimes but all thie time drives me nuts.
I hate vague negative AW posts!! Just write what the fricking problem is or don't write anything!
vaguebooking. I hate it.
Spoilers on TV shows that I have DVRd
People losing weight and logging it through status updates (along with everything they have had to eat that day)
Along that note - Skinny b*tches complaining about being fat on facebook and how they sooooooo need to go on a diet.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Ahhhhh! ha ha ha ha! love it!
Other than that, its your regular old annoying website!
I have a few:)
1) When a chick learns she's pg and feels the need to update EVERY SINGLE DAY with all of her aliments and woes concerning her pregnancy. It drives me nuts as if she's the first and only one to have to endure a pregnancy. I don't care how many times you peed, vomited, or how fat your ankles are and don't need to be updated all of the time. I have actually blocked a few friends over this.
2) Posting 10,000 pictures of every event in your life. I don't need to see every picture you took on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning, and the following day. Or 45 pictures of your kids first day of preschool. I'm sure the pictures are very special to you but not everyone wants to look through ALL of them (especially the out of focus pictures some people insist on posting because it was part of the day). I know I don't have to look at every picture but do people think that anyone really wants to? Pick a handful of nice ones and be done. Since I'm complaining I'll fully admit to doing this when I first started using facebook and have learned with time that less is better:)
3) When people jam up my FB inbox with "vote for my kid" pleas or political propaganda. Those deleted without being opened first.

This, and the stupid "change your status to whatever I say because that proves you support gay rights/ support gun control/ support victims of domestic violence, whatever." I'm sorry, but changing my status to some pat little comment will have zero impact on child abuse or other societal ills. If you want to make a change - get off the computer and DO SOMETHING.

People who post all day about everything that is going on in their lives, people who post song lyrics, poems, or quotes in their status- seriously- you can't come up with something creative, and people who post photos of their kids covered in food! It's gross, I do not need to see photos of your child covered in sweet potatoes!
lol. you should do what i do. go to the link and vote on the actual CUTE kid (who isnt always theirs.) hehe.
Ugh, my SIL's are clogging up my feed with these the past few months.
Also, forgot to mention, those damn status shuffle updates. They aren't even your own real status update! You picked it out from a list. I just skim right over those.
And vagubooking designed to fish for people's comments and questions, blatantly AW.
1. People who swear in their status update. Do you really need to say the "f" word that badly and often?
2. I can't get over the fact that people ask for money on there Cassian. That's crazy!
3. Getting tagged in a picture where I look awful! That sucks!
well..to add to all of your spot-on annoyances...I really hate when couples talk to each other on FB...the lovefests are ridiculous
I also hide anyone who posts game updates all the time, posts inspiring quotes daily, or is constantly harping about their religion...i get it, you love God, now shut it.
Haha THIS. I have one friend in particular who does this all.the.time. It gets so sick. She recently posted that she has the most perfect husband, who is the most perfect dad and she has the most perfect son in the whole wide world. Give me a break. They (she and her husband) also post to each others walls when they are both home....her most recent to him, "you're cute".
Ha ha, I'm guilty of this! We just started BLW and my IRL friends and family wanted pics so I posted a couple.
Dundas,
You wouldn't believe it. Every other week it's " i'm so broke i can't afford food. I sure wish the food fairy would bring me some food" or "anyone have a couple thousand dollars to lend my unemployed ass? My food stamps got cut off." "My car is broken. Sure could use a big loan from someone right about now." "My water got shut off cause I didn't pay my bill. Anyone want to be a blessing and give me money?"
I swear, if these weren't people DH knew all his life, I would not be friends with them.
I get annoyed by people who only post about their work from home business (like Pampered Chef and Mary Kay). I have some friends who sell products like that and you would hardly know it. Others????? Yah, not so much. It gets annoying. (FTR, they annoying ones are NOT SAIF friends.)
Vaguebooking is also super annoying. Either share with us what is going on or STFU!!!!!
Ditto! I hate it when people update their status every hour!

This post is just reinforcing my staying off Facebook. I just don't have time to wade through all the crap to get to the one or two good things that may be there.
Although, now that I've found out it's acceptable, albeit annoying to some, to beg for money on Facebook perhaps I will try that out
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
This Cluttered Life
My pet peeves are (and I have a lot of them):
- People who like each and every singe status update that I post. If you did not know any better, you would assume that we were best friends. Yeah notsomuch.
- Any form of AWing (I particularly cannot stand it when people are vague and then say they cannot talk about it or people who want others to say, "oh but you look SO beautiful", etc.).
- People who are trying to start a business every other week.
- I have a friend who not only posts every single detail of her pregnancy but also posts how little weight she has gained.
- I don't mind people being proud of their child's potty training, however, I do not want to know each and every detail of it. A girl I know posted that her daughter was running around the house without her underwear on for three hours and did not have an accident...um, way too much info!
- Posting weird lyrics and not being able to tell if they are suicidal or if they just love a morbid sounding song.
- Constant updates about a football game, I am talking, a full on play-by-play. If I was curious, I would turn the game on.
People who "like" their own posts, or people who "like" sad or negative posts.
I am so tired of these "I'm just so fat posts" that seem to only exist to solicit responses of "no you aren't" and "you are beautiful".
besides all the others, this is my most recent one.
status updates sent in via iphone or black berry that have words auto-corrected so the sentence makes no sense. proof read people!!
awww, i've done that plenty of times! haha (i mean the pics of sweet potato covered kids, haha) oops, i thought that was cute
ummm, i hate the games, and especially the people who only add you as a friend to try and get you to be their neighbor on farmville or something
the "change your status to this if you care about blah" things
TV show spoilers (even though i spoiled the game this weekend for heidi, haha! oops)
political crap
and worst is the public fights...you people are "adults" just talk things out or ignore each other and move on!
im probably pretty annoying, because i post pics CONSTANTLY...but the way i look at that is, nobody is making you look at all my pics, if you don't want to look-don't...i have a bunch of family who love that stuff, so i update it a ton for them
Joey, Ronnie, and Audrey,
my awesome IUI 30 week twins, and my surprise miracle
LOVE my SAIF ladies
