Im gonna get this off my chest. And if you still think the page is funny, thats on you.

Im sure my friends who read this who think the page is FUNNY will roll their eyes and thats fine. But Im still getting messages about whats being said and this stupid page is popping up on my newsfeed and it makes me sick.

The facebook page is called overly sensitive military wives, at first when the page was brought to my attention I looked it at, I read about it and honestly I didn't think it was as funny as my friends did. So I unliked the page right away. A few weeks or so passed and I haven't heard anything about the page, well a friend of mine posted a picture from the page, so I went back to check out the page. And I ended up finding a picture of someone who Im facebook friends with on there. Saying horrible things. So of course I told her. Seriously, I would want someone to tell me if I was in a 'make em famous album' or any album for that matter. So then some drama happened, I asked people to report the page, as did she. The page got posted on Col Joes page. And it was deleted without a word. Well now a few days LATER someone informed me that they are actually e-mailing people who are ON THIS SITE and saying look, we are kicking you off of an on post organization because of the her involvement with the group. She said people spread lies about what she wrote, I hate to tell her but EVERYONE can see the things she posted. And maybe it wasn't what was under the picture, maybe it was her running to the group telling them oh shes asking people to report you. Bottom line, I think its awesome. It really shows me that Ft. Bliss is taking this page seriously. And that they won't stand for it.

What makes me the maddest I think, is people who I have in common that 'like' this page, and are active members are saying they would never make fun of someone like that. Yet there it is, wide open for the world to see. I wouldn't do this, but I do wish I could take a picture of these people...because I hate to tell you guys but your no super model -either am I, and even if you are, theres always something embarrassing about you that someone could find - even if it has to do with your personally or mistakes you made. Have you made mistakes, I know I have..millions....and Im sure I could take a million pictures or post a million bad things about you -and write it on the page for people to make fun of. That page makes fun of people who don't look good when they go out. You know army wives always say "I have kids Im tired". Guess what Ill be the first to admit, I dont have kids and I still don't feel like getting beautiful to go to the store. Most days I wear a tank top & shorts...no make up & hair up in a bun, usually pretty messy. This page targets overweight women, but not only overweight..people who look like 'crap'. And you can say 'if you go out looking like a fool don't be mad if someone takes a picture'. And honestly, I wouldn't. Im sure if someone took a picture of me looking horrible and posted it on facebook Id be embarrassed but then Id laugh, because it's whatever to me! Im waiting for me to show up on people of walmart one day, I really am. Because sometimes I go out looking pretty crazy, and thats totally fine with me.

This page keeps popping up on my newsfeed, and I really want to delete everyone thats involved just because Im sick of seeing the name. But I won't do that, because Im actually FRIENDS with some of the people who like that page (not just facebook friends). But I sit here and say, Im not a perfect person. I wouldn't even call myself a GREAT person. But I see how horribly wrong this page is. Even without the pictures, going on a public form that the WORLD can see making fun of someone who saw walking their kids to school in their pj's. Thats not right. Or making fun of peoples business's, thats their JOB. Its what they do. Why do you care? And making fun of people who are PROUD of their husbands so they wear the purses, wear dog tags, take pictures of themselves with their husbands gear on, ones who buy army clothes for their kids or wear cloth ACU diapers.. They are proud. I know I am! If your not proud of your husband, you are the ones with the issues. What kind of person does that make you? No, stop and think about it..really think about it. If someone made fun of your weight, your clothes, your look, your purse, your husband, your family -how would it make you feel? Im sure if I talked about you behind your back it would hurt, but if I publicly blasted you for the world to see, and even if its just the people who 'like' the page, thats close to 4,000 people who now have a bad taste in their mouth because of me. Sure that page is entertaining, but will it be just an entertaining when someone you don't get along with posts something nasty about you on the page? When someone sees you in a shirt, and you think you look fine but someone points out how FAT you look? And people are bashing you to no end. Most woman have a weight complex, and other women judge that. I can pick through MY friends who like this page, and point out their flaws and public bash them. Just as they can do to me, but what does that do? Does it make you feel better to laugh at someone else?

I read a blog of a lady. It was sad, she was writing about how someone took a picture of her children at the store, and posted it on there. Apparently someone told her about it, she saw all the nasty things people said about her. She talked about how immature the page is, and what not. She talked about how it hurt. But I'm willing to bet she cried, and she cried hard. People..its not funny.

The page won't be shut down, and even if all 19 of my friends unlike the page (which makes me sick because before I wrote my status the other day I had 15 friends in common, 3 of them unliked it durning the whole thing and now its back up to 19), theres always 20 more people who will find this page and laugh and think its great. Hopefully with this blog at least someone will unlike the page.

I know Im guilty of posting things about people on my personal facebook, things that never should have been posted. No matter how much I dislike the person, but you know Im learning and growing from it. And Im sorry to all those people who I hurt. I dont have 4,000 friends but I have plenty who saw many things about my drama they shouldn't have seen. You live, learn & grow from your mistakes. Thats what makes you a better person.

  1. I agree with you 100 % I saw the page and I honestly did not find it funny, I found it insulting. I'm a proud military wife and my car is decorated in magnets and stickers and all kinds of things, shame on these people!

  2. Agree 100%! It is insulting, i have issues getting this weight off (Dang kids, Lol) but i know that even when Jeremy says something my feelings get hurt and i would not want a bunch of women, who should support other women, making fun of me. My kids have a pair of acus and shiana wore them all the time. She is very proud if what her daddy does and it is only teaching her that she should not be. I highly dislike the page and it makes me sick

  5. That page is not funny! The final straw for me was when I read a comment on the page and someone had wrote "A day without making someone cry is like a day without sunshine!" Um noo!!! That is definitely not the kind of page I want to be associated with! Anyone who goes on there and picks away at people by saying derogatory things is looking to make themselves feel better! GET A LIFE && FIND JESUS! And no one on that page can say they "found" jesus because god does NOT teach us the things those people are saying!!!
