Why not just eat fruits and veggies????

I have FB friends that sell things, but it's not EVERYTHING they post. They post regular stuff and then every once in awhile mention what they have available or post a pic of the new cool thing they made. If it was ALL they ever posted or like many many times each day, it would get old really fast.

Maybe gently suggest to her that it might be really slick and professional of her to create a business page on FB for her sales, and keep her business updates and promotions to her business page. Then people that are interested can friend her business page if they want to see the advertisements and updates.

Even when she posts what could be regular stuff ("Took the kids to the park!"), she'll find a way to mention JuicePlus+.

I had a friend that was doing this with MonaVie or something like that. Didn't matter WTF he was talking about, it came up in the post somewhere, even if it made no damn sense.

"Man I was on I-90 today driving home from work and I ran into a Deer! CRAP! Damaged the front end of my car, and my airbags went off and I got a bloodied nose. Ended up getting home just after 2am and got almost no sleep. Umm.. Drank some Monavie before bed, can hardly feel my nose and my car fixed itself!"

Makes me want to punch him in the face.

I could send her a hint if you want me to lol it will be nice but she'll get the message!

Ok, I actually did laugh out loud at that. People like that are why I consider quitting Facebook on a weekly basis. However there are too many good folks that I know I'd lose touch with that keep me on there.

I totally feel for you. I have "friend" on facebook that constantly complains about her life. And wonders why nobody will attend her bootcamp or aerobic courses. ItAfter awhile, it's very annoying. Thankfully she lives 4 states away from me. I couldn't imagine going to her classes, that she gives for FREE! She is supposedly trying to help the county to get healthier. But I don't think anyone attends, because it is a very small town and absolutley everyone has "no money" problems or family problems. She acts like she is the only one.. blah blah blah poor me, why doesn't anyone come to my free workouts? lol.

On your next friend's post, you can avoid her posts by clicking on the little box on the upper right hand corner. Click unsubscribe. It doesn't block her, but at least you can stop seeing her annoying posts. She will never know. Good Luck.

I need to vent here because if I do it on Facebook, my friend who I love dearly will see it and be hurt. But she's seriously getting on my NERVES!!!!

She's involved with selling this crap called JuicePlus+. If you read anything about it NOT on the company website, it's basically a bunch of crap. They're pills that supposedly give you the nutrition of a buttload of fruits and veggies (minus, of course, taste or fiber or anything else we may like about fruits and veggies).

Every time anyone posts about having allergies or a headache or any kind of minor or major ailment, she posts, "You need JuicePlus+." She updates her statuses constantly with links and mentions and all sorts of stuff about this. RARELY does she post something that doesn't mention what she's selling.

So, today she posts a photo of a bunch of fruits and veggies and writes, "Are you eating this daily? If not, get JuicePlus+!" (Or something to that effect.) It was all I could do not to post the title of this thread underneath.

I mean, you'd spend less money and have a far more pleasurable experience.

In the last 10 years, I've had maybe three colds that lasted about 2 days each and maybe two or three minor bouts of allergies since I moved South. I get migraines, but eating better and exercising has helped that a TON. But every time I mention any of that, I get a sakes pitch.

GGGRRRRR.

Just a tip to anyone out there selling anything, your friends are annoyed with you if you do the above. It does not make them want to buy anything from you.

A lot of people seem to hate eating fruits and veggies and maybe she really believes and is "into" this stuff. Sometimes when people find something that works for them they become so excited, they want to share it with the world. My sister is a vegan (I am not even a vegetarian) and she is constantly criticizing my diet (without heme iron I become anemic fairly quickly for whatever reason and feel sick) so I sort of know how you feel. If I tell her I get sick on a pure vegan diet she says she usually has high iron levels (she is my fraternal twin so I always get the feeling she thinks that actually matters). it can be irritating when people you care about assume they know what is best for you and won't shut up about it.

If people want to take your friend's stuff, fine. I have no problem eating fruits and veggies, apparently, so I will continue with that. I highly doubt one supplement is going to cure anyone's health problems. I understand your frustration though.

I was going to let my sister come visit me for christmas (she invited herself) but the more I thought of it I knew it would be one long criticism of what I eat, wear, listen to, the meds I take, etc from the moment she arrived till she left so I cancelled that. When I try to tell her she is insulting me and stressing me out I get some smart *kitten* comment ("You must be easily stressed out, haha!") which makes me angrier. I have nothing against vegans or people who endorse x product but that holier-than-thou attitude can really get on my nerves fast.

personally, i love juice+ and give it partial credit for curing my son of autism (yes i said cure). he had intense food issue and couldn't stand the texture of real fruits and veggies. i tell everyone i can about the gummies (and no i don't sell them). i think they are awesome and better than the hype!

sorry your friend is being over-the-top about marketing her new obsession. she may be so excited that she is not aware that it is consuming every facebook post. if you kindly point it out, she may stop doing it. good luck!

That does sound very annoying...
