I am sure I've posted things from her before but my oldest friend who I've known since practically birth leaves for posting shit like this. It is not an exaggeration when I say she will often post around 20+ of these types of things a day. I was recently the lucky recipient of this beaut.

1) I'm pretty sure that creepy ass doll is an orangutan reborn (http://www.reborns.com/) which instantly makes it horrifying.2) WHY IS THIS THING TALKING ABOUT US DYING?!

there's a guy who works here who posts to FB perhaps 30-40 times a day (i wouldn't know for certain, since i've long since hidden his posts and only see them when other "friends" comment on them) --most of them either macros or links to articles i suspect he hasn't even fully read himself -- and still routinely complains about not having enough time to get work done, etc. etc. i feel like the little facebook "hand w/ thumbs-up" icon should reach out of his computer monitor and slap some sense into him.

my first post should have read that she "lives for posting" . . . rather than "leaves for" posting etc.
wtf is that "reborn" stuff?

(I would like to retract my post from 2009 on that thread in which I stated that the orang utan reborns were OK. They're not. They're creepy too.)

I do feel really sad for the women in a lot of ways but it's also so strange and creepy and very unsettling. On that thread there's a link to a fake birth video.

Yeah. I think I find it hard to understand the women who have kids still at home yet still play with the dolls. I can almost understand a women who never had but wanted kids or one whose adult children are not at home (almost) but the ones who have toddlers in one room and yet are dressing up and playing with their hyper realistic newborn dolls in the next? That I don't get.

how? i guess i am not very FB savvy
go to the "friend's" fb page and there should be a drop-down near the top saying "following", pull that down and select "unfollow"
at this point I think I have more fb friends that I don't follow than ones that I do
― schlep and back trio (anagram), Friday, 23 October 2015 07:45 (eight years ago) link
the only risk in this strategy being that they post some major life event on fb and then when you see them you say "hey, how's things" and they're like "didn't you know"
― schlep and back trio (anagram), Friday, 23 October 2015 07:47 (eight years ago) link
Lol I've totally done that. If you didn't only post competition entries and statuses about 'cheeky drinks' then maybe I'd give a shit
― kinder, Friday, 23 October 2015 09:32 (eight years ago) link
This can also lead to situations where the FB friend outright *dies* without you knowing.
Had one friend die of cancer three years ago and family didn't convert page to Tribute page (as most people don't know that's an option).
Then her b'day arrived and she got several happy b'day wishes on FB from casual FB friends that actually didn't know she had died. Eerie as hell.

x-post: That happened to me as well, though I hadn't unfollowed him, I just didn't notice he died. Just saw it was his birthday, thought 'oh yeah, we studied together, wonder how he's doing', went to his page and the first post is his widow talking about how much she still misses him. A sudden stroke, not even forty, newborn kid. Horrifying.

To avoid the faux pas of missing a FB death, you can unfollow people apart from 'major life events'. I'm not friends with many people who post things that are truly infra digital, which I attribute to being careful with additions in the first place.
