Officially do not like FB. Found out about a friend's recent and sudden death via facespace. The family is sharing and tagging the deceased in their posts and it all just feels grossly inappropriate. I was absolutely shocked when I found about the death. I met this guy during my first year back at school and and became friends with him after we found out we both have an S2k, we would spend our breaks talking about cars and his beautiful girlfriend. He talked about proposing to his GF and I got him set up with my jewelry guy; they've been married for a while now and are sweet couple... It's been a few years since I've seen them and we kind of lost touch, but Evan and I both really enjoyed their company. Just found out they were in a car accident and his wife passed away, and he is in critical care. Finding out about this on facebook from other people just feels really wrong, it's like people are excited to have news to share and I don't see it as news that needs to be shared ASAP.

I understand you 
Monica. I see similar daily and while I do understand the families/grief etc, I believe there is a part of "I'm in mourning, you should mourn with me" attitude. I'm guilty of it when I mentioned my dad and grandmother's passing. Looking back, I should not have posted.

Sorry to hear of your friend's accident LG
I think maybe the solution for not liking FB is closing it out
You seem to disagree with some of the things that occur on there.I seem to be hearing of more & more people telling me they are no longer on there. I as you know never have been so I can't JUDGE it for what occurs I just don't need it myself. You know how I feel about friends staying or being true friends - the need for FB
Did you see today's FACT or CRAP ?
