The worst part of facebook is getting a "wish this person a happy birthday" reminder for a friend who has died. The second worst is seeing the well wishes from people who either haven't found out or have forgotten the person is dead.

Not the worst for me. It's a minor annoyance at worst in my eyes. That may well change as the years pass, should I live long enough and should Facebook last that long...

I don't know what you were going for here, but this is really insensitive.

From:

Yes, it was. I was in a Mood last night for reasons and/or excuses.

I hate that. I unfollowed my deceased friend because those reminders and people's forgetfulness weirded me too much. I had my mom's account memorialized after she passed away, so then FB knows she's gone and doesn't send birthday reminders.

One of the many, many reasons I go to FB only rarely. AIEEEEE

Yes!
Although I once found out about someone's death because of a Happy Birthday thing on FB. That was kind of shitty.

Lost two more of our foster kittens to Fading Kitten in the last 24hrs, though both of them crashed quickly and quietly. Void passed in her sleep without a peep, Big Blue whimpered a little and then passed in wife's hands between one breath and the next.
