Posts on FB

[ZIZI]

I didn't really know where to write this. I am on here and FB and some news sites. I sometimes don't open subjects on here or FB if I don't think I will have anything to offer or I think they are too sensitive for me. Today, I don't know who it was as I have not revisited, someone put an empty bench picture with a question of "who would you choose to spend an hour with?" I read it aloud to husband and he said straight away "your Dad". I immediately burst into tears and cried for a while. He has been gone nearly seventeen years and I would give anything to have an hour with him. Sometimes I think people do not realise when they post on FB how much upset they cause even though they don't mean to. I am still sobbing.

Feeling a a bit sensitive maybe which is not really me. Give me a tissue and a gin and tonic and I will be back up there

I know what you mean, Zizi. I am sure there are people who would answer the question with something funny or trite, but the fact is it struck such a deep chord for you and your OH.

All I can do is pour you a very large G&T and lend you a nice clean soft white hankie. Big hugs. I still miss my Dad, too. xxx

I saw that Zizi and thought of my Dad straight away, like you I can cry buckets over my Dad and he has been gone 44 years . Some people don't realise or understand how you can still feel sorrow after all these years but you can deeply , You have been through a lot of stress with this damn kitchen business and feeling very sensitive , I bet at times you have thought if only I had Dad to talk it over with ,I know I have thought that myself many a time , A good cry can release the tension this is probably just the pin that was needed to burst the bubble , get it out your system tonight , a brighter day tomorrow lv xxxx

Big (((hugs))) Zizi. I also saw that and thought 'My Dad', I would give anything for one more conversation with him. I would also love it to be my friend who was murdered in Israel. I didn't reply on the post however.

I love FB, but for me it has got too political and with too many stupid 'repost if you hate cancer' type of posts. I won't be leaving FB, but do edit out a lot of content, which makes it a better place for me.

[ZIZI]

Yes those repoststs and amen posts are annoying aren't they. I think I am just a bit emotional at the moment, four weeks to holiday and counting!!!

[Gemini]

Roll on that holiday Zizi, you need it xx

This has been doing the rounds for quite some time, and every now and again it rears it's head. Yes, some people are so insensitive.
With all the stress of the kitchen, I can understand it making you feel so emotional.
Your holiday can't come soon enough,you certainly need it.

Zizi I am so sorry. I re posted a picture of an empty bench on Facebook . I did it as I was feeling low and missing dad terribly so yesterday. I never gave it a minutes thought as to how it would upset any one. I think I was dwelling too much in my own self pity yesterday. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to upset you. I have taken the picture down .
As for those pics that tug at your heart strings with 'type Amen ' and re post, I never ever respond to those.

((HUGS)) for all of us missing our dads, and any loved ones.

Mimi please don't feel bad, I am also in a low time at the moment. I know what you mean though, I have my little self pity moments too. Let's have a little ((hug)) just you and me to remember our dear dads and draw a line under this xxxx

Those posts effect me as well ZIZI, funny enough my sister and I were discussing our parents today, speaking of their little pecadillos, funny sayings and sharing other memories. I still cannot believe its almost 20 years since Dad died and 5 years ago we lost Mum. Where the heck have those years gone.

[Nana]

I saw this too but reacted differently. I imagined sitting with my dad too. Dad was a quiet, humble man. We just sat there, me 'linking' him (my arm through his) not saying anything but just enjoying being together again. So a thank you from me as I spent a few extra minutes with dad today that I wouldn't have ordinarily.xx

Following on from what's on Fbk, mine's a hatred of all the racist/foul language posts on there now. I believe in free speech but not this. The people who respond to the posts say they're Christians. When my DDs went to RC school they were taught to 'love your neighbour as yourself' & to try to see Christ in all people.

These people who say they're Christians are telling people of a different faith to "f*** off to where they came from". One girl used the C word & it wasn't 'Christmas'. I'm surprised any posts with so much hatred & racism are allowed by Fbk. Sad really.

[Plantaholic]

I wonder where they come from, I don't get those Nana

[ZIZI]

Plant sometimes you can just click for something that looks half interesting and then you get loads of stuff from them, it doesn't mean you agree with their politics or ideas but they know a way of keeping you on the database. I don't know how because I am not clever enough in IT to know. For my work address I get loads of rubbish but because ours is a massive worldwide server I can click on a link and report it spam and it will not come back except if it is sent from a different email address (normal)
