I agree with Ask Amy about this. While I wouldn't post anything rude to the person, I'd find her sharing that a friend said she's an "angel" with many people a bit strange. I mean, how does one respond to that?

I have a FB account, but TBH I sometimes find some some people overshare.

Surianne:
What the...what?  Her friend said she was an angel, and she took the time to write to 30 family members about it?  Am I reading that right?  Why?  To tell all her friends and family how nice she is? 

What a...strange woman.  I wouldn't respond to this either and I'd be quite baffled. 

Hushabye:
Yeah... That one would leave me going, "Huh?"  I probably wouldn't respond because I'd be tempted to say "Congratulations?"  That would just sound really snarky when I would mean it in a sense of utter confusion as to how I'm supposed to react to it.

MommyPenguin:
I agree with Amy on that one, she certainly sounds self-congratulatory.  I'm not surprised that they asked her what she's talking about and whether she's okay, because it does sound like really weird behavior.

What's with the second letter?  I mean, the guy maybe comes across as a bit judgmental, but Amy sure seems down on the idea of anybody being a virgin before marriage.

Sabbyfrog2:
I was wondering if anyone was going to post that...

I wonder if in some way this woman was fishing for compliments. ??? Like maybe she was hoping that the other she posted to would say, "Oh yes you ARE an angel!" or "I just love you so MUCH!".
I can't really think of any other reason she would send it to 30 people like that.
