Unfriending Kilties on Facebook

**Hamish** · 23rd September 11, 05:39 PM

Ron, I cannot remember whether I was your friend or you were mine (!), but I finally got out of Facebook a month or three ago. It was driving me crazy with the mass of inane rubbish which folks were throwing at me - nothing personal, my friend - and it reached the point where I felt I could not believe folks saying who they were! I am so glad I cast it off.

Take care,
Ham.

Thanks Ham, don't think we were or woulda kept ya on. Another thing that baffled me is where all these folks came from. I don't recall giving the okie doakie. But even if I did there was an occasional problem. Every now and then the monster computer at FB would ask me to confirm who I was by identifying pics of my friends. They always seemed to put up pics of "friends" I didn't know so I'd get shut out. And then realized I didn't know who most of the people posting were - sending me game stuff I had no interest in, sending me BS posts that had long been proven false by Snopes.... Heard on the radio there's another upgrade coming that everyone likes....right...sure....think its the merchants that like us. I stll can't figure out how when I order something on line suddenly ads for it pop up on my FB page. Trying to figure out how to get the Budweiser ads off there - in my worst alcoholism I never drank that evil tasting brew.

Oh! That was horrible!

I needed to upgrade my browser, I had been waiting on a plug in to become available, and many of the menus were missing from Facebook when they changed it. Stuff like removing a wall post. There's a few things I still can't find, but I don't care about the difference in the news feed after that experience.

Have you tried google+ Obviously I dont know how it would work for you but it seems a simpler lay out for your computer to read.

No, I haven't. I'm on Facebook to communicate with a couple of friends and look at one organization's page, and that is the only reason. If they went Google, and actually told me, I would probably follow along.

I just needed to update Fire Fox, that's all.
