Tuesday blog about bitching

I need to stay away from FaceBook because all of the following reasons

1. status updates from high school friends, who are now conservative or Republican, regarding Osama Bin Laden, President Obama, or general politics are making me annoyed, then angry because I don't want to get into a debate, then stressed because I keep thinking about it.

2. wall posts from friends about how much they LOooOOoOVE their other friends. I get it. You're friends, you're best friends, you think the other is awesome, so get off the computer, go hang out and spare the rest of us.

3. I just want to know how people I actually like are doing, I don't care about those people I've added out of courtesy and I've forgotten how to change those filters.

Thats why

1. I don't use facebook
1.5 I don't talk to people from high school
2. I don't "love" any of my friends
3. I never add people for courtesy, I'm not a big fan of being nice just to be nice

You've GOT to filter them for the sake of your sanity. Just click this https://www.facebook.com/friends/edit/

Then, to only see that filter on your news feed, do this.

You can also change the default filter your status updates are visible to. Mine are visible by default to everyone but my in-laws just so I don't accidentally post something stupid that they can see.

Keith beat me to it. Or just leave Facebook on Top News and only click Most Recent when you're desperately bored. It'll keep the updates down to only the folks you actually interact with.

I just click the X and select Hide all by Suffering Simp. And I do it with extreme prejudice.

Though I am also not sentimental about whom I defriend. Most won't even notice.

I so often feel the same way. Or I see a group of my friends posting pictures of places they are all at, having a great time and no one invited me. Then I feel crappy and it ruins my day.

I have everyone sorted but I really lack the skills to organize my feed by the groups themselves. If I do, then I forget and miss stuff I want to know.. So I feel ya.

Hopefully I give a good description of how & what I am doing: eating food, wishing I could sleep more, what I am reading, pictures of my cat, things I hate, where I am at... Not to say any of it is entertaining in the least!
