Grin

Thought of you and I do believe in Karma. Hope u get something good out of it xx

This is for u x Read till the end! I sent an angel to watch over you last night, but it came back and asked "why?" The angel said, "angels don't watch over angels!" twenty angels are in your world. Ten are sleeping, nine of them are playing and one is reading this message. The universe has seen you struggling with some things and says it over. a blessing is coming your way. If you believe in Karma send this message to 14 friends including me, if I don't get it back I guess I'm not one of them. As soon as you get 5 replies, someone you love will quietly surprise you... Not joking. Pass this message on. Please don't ignore it. you are being tested and Karma is going to fix two big things tonight in your favor. If you believe in Karma drop everything and pass it on TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. DON'T BREAK THIS. SEND THIS TO 14 FRIENDS IN 10 MINUTES IT'S NOT THAT HARD. WHOEVER SENT THIS TO YOU MUST CARE ABOUT YOU

Just hold your finger on it n it should say forward

STOP IT NOW Angry

This bit had me sneering at my monitor.

Why twenty? Why are ten sleeping? Why are nine playing? What is this wanky bullshit?

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 03/08/2016 15:31

You ok there Bill Grin

I break the chain too and am very happy to do so. Even if I believed I had twenty angels playing above my head I'd still know they weren't prepared to lift a fucking finger to alleviate my lack of money, holidays, nice handbags and expensive shoes. Bollocks to them!

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 03/08/2016 15:33

I agree Betty - that bit in particular had me Hmm and Confused and Angry. The ones that are playing will obviously wake up the sleepers and then they'll all be in a prize snit! Wanky bullshit is exactly what it is.

A friend of mine on facebook posted that she had just won £900 on a scratch card. Everyone who clicked "like" received a message saying she hadn't really won, but would they please donate to a cancer charity.Apparently it's a new scheme to raise money for the charity, but it's an odd way to do it.

BettyDraper1 · 03/08/2016 15:50

bollocks to them! should be the response to all 'angel' messages imho Difficultwoman!

Honestly, I logged off from FB one day last November and have not missed it since. Reading what you are all saying reminds me of why I left.

I had an argument with a couple of people a few years back about the 'no make up selfie' challenge. Not only did they wear make-up (like we can't tell) but they couldn't understand how self-serving it was. As somebody else said, who isn't aware of cancer? It's a line in the sand for me. It speaks of narcissism and lack of intelligence.

minsmum · 03/08/2016 15:58

I had one of those I believe in Karma ones sent to me by my sil shortly after my dm died having had a long and painful death from cancer. My response was not very nice and I couldn't possibly repeat it. She doesn't speak to me now

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 03/08/2016 15:58

I believe it's called 'virtue signalling' isn't it? Makes me want to puke lime green ectovomit all over them Grin

I've not seen that 'won on a scratch card' one yet - I'm sure it's only a matter of time and the awful thing is I can predict who it will be who posts it!

I'm about 20 months pregnant with about a billionty children. My head is not working.

could mean anything! It could mean someone you love will drop down dead in front of you!

Just choked on my cuppa laughing out loud. This thread has me in stitches.
"Wanky bullshit" GrinGrinGrin

And yes I break these piles of shite all the time and no huge affliction has befallen me either. Unless u count DH.

sallysparrow157 · 03/08/2016 16:11

I've got a few people on mine doing the 'love your spouse' challenge... So they post a photo of them and their other half every day. when their cover pic and their profile pic are already wedding photos or lovey dovey coupley photos... Makes me feel vaguely nauseous.

cardibach · 03/08/2016 16:11

Ah but, the ice bucket challenge made a breakthrough in ALS research.
No it fucking didn't, people donated money and scientists used the money and made a breakthrough. Most people who did the 'challenge' didn't mention ALS or donate. Those who donated could have done so anyway.

allofadaze · 03/08/2016 16:15

Hang on, hang on, I need to clarify the angels thing... So there are 20 in the world. 10 are sleeping (permanently, or will they wake up?), 9 are playing and the implication is that I am the other one. So, if I forward this onto 14 people, are they one of the other 19 sleeping or playing ones? Cos I'm the 20th remember... And if THEY forward onto another 14 people, that's... well, way more angels than I can calculate hanging about. More than 20 anyhow. Do you know, if I wasn't so worried about karma, I might just think this didn't add up somehow...

LunaLoveg00d · 03/08/2016 16:18

Usually sent by teenagers or the terminally brain-dead.

The ones I hate the most are the people who post something on FB along the lines of "that's it, i'm giving it all up to be a stripper in New York" and when people comment they get a message saying "HA HA you fell for it, in order to raise awareness of you have to write XYZ on your timeline too!" Honestly.

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 03/08/2016 16:19

Grin *fuxxake @ 'unless you count DH'. I can relate!

I'd be hard pressed to find a picture of me and DH where one or both of us wasn't quietly seething or overtly scowling at one another Grin so that 'challenge' will be wasted on me!

WorraLiberty · 03/08/2016 17:12

Well I always click 'like' and type Amen on these things.

You should too OP.

Otherwise it'll be your fault if little Johnny doesn't get his operation.

fuxxake · 03/08/2016 17:19

Trevor I love that one. Actually think it's made me more tolerant towards stupid people Grin

I ignore them and delete, but maybe we could all just reply with a link to this thread and see what happens, it would cause a few of us a giggle if nothing else. Also outrage from those that are too stupid and sheep like not to do exactly as they are told by complete random strangers on FB

WorraLiberty · 03/08/2016 17:59

But how will people know that I hate cancer?

I can't have people thinking I love it.

FlibbertigibbetArmadillo · 03/08/2016 18:00

We could use this thread to collectively write one and send it out into Facebook land. Then if you see any FB friends posting, link back to this thread Grin
