I don't think you're heartless :p

Why a lot of people (if not MOST people) feel the need to broadcast their every move to the world is beyond me. Not to mention the glib, boasting posts.

My friend's marriage is in complete shambles, yet she keeps posting these Photoshopped, airbrushed pics of her radiant family smiling for the camera, the lighting just right, all of them wearing designer clothes, with their enormous yacht in the background for good measure. Geez. I'm not being judgmental, it's just annoying. IMO FB is aggravating, irritating and a source of constant negativity, unless your friends list is reasonable.

I just keep a few good friends that I actually KNOW, some of whom I've met right here in SR, friends from abroad and back home, and that's about it.

And by the way, FB rule #1 "Your mother is NOT your friend! Neither is your father nor your uncle!" Rule#2 "Your boss IS reading your posts, beware!" Rule#3 "Never keep exes in your friends list, unless you're fond of stalkers!" I've blocked all of these specimens, LOL
