Here's the bottom line, PP.

No one really cares.

Depends on who you have as friends on Facebook. My close friends/family care. I'm genuinely happy/excited when good things happens to my friends.

Then send the damn news out on email and spare the rest of your not-so-close friends and family of the details.

b/c THEY don't care

Somehow I think THEY will survive. If they truly don't care then it's pretty easy to scroll right past. Problem solved right?

They'll scroll past, yes, and then unfriend. I've done it. My more-than-annoyed friends have done it. Or, as we've also done, we'll copy the status updates and send them to our non-braggy friends for a good laugh! So sometimes you keep the "friendship" just for kicks.

get it?

So, people who care read, people like yourself get a good laugh out of it. Win/win right? Honestly, I do get where you're coming from, I just don't think it's a big deal.

not really b/c I think there are more of "me" than those who do care
