Hi-
I rarely go on FB. I used to be on it a lot, but as you have discovered it has turned into a "Look HOW Terrific MY LIFE IS" feed.

The people I need to be in touch with, will text or call me. Only a few of my friends will post something controversial, or state they do not like something. When i started to use it to post dog rescue photos, most of my non-rescue friends never commented. In fact, when I ask to "Please share", some guy I knew in high school left me a NASTY comment for everyone to see, ie "Do not tell me what to do!". I PM'd him and wrote, "remove me as your friend please. All I ever post about are dog rescue things...plus I hardly demanded you to do anything....I could care less what your FB page looks like." Have a nice day!...WTF?
I ignore people, cut them from my feed, my settings are very private, not all of my "friends" cannot see my photos...One of my family members unfriended me! I laughed at that!
