    That all people care about is how big their diamond is and that their baby is cuter than all the others posted...

    Not on Facebook anymore, not my scene... I left high school almost 15 years ago and even then I didn't fit in :)

    The worst thing I found out on Facebook was that my cousin was pushing Shakeology.

    Seriously, though, even with the drama, I love Facebook. It's amazing for military brats who spent their lives having to leave their best friends every 2-3 years. I've reconnected with old friends I never thought I'd hear from again. I love seeing the pics of their kids and seeing how their lives have turned out.

    Sorry for the folks with the horror stories, though. :flowerforyou:

    ^^^ This! Navy Brat here! And I have reconnected with several really great friends through facebook. Yes...it can be drama...but usually that is the people that live nearer me for some reason...LOL

    Nothing from family or friends thank God, no drama on my page. I "like" my local RSPCA feed though, and some of the stories of animal cruelty they share are horrible.

    Oh, and that my old high school friend who got a job as a peggy (cleaner) earns more money than me :(

    That's OK, OP. Nobody tells me anything, either. I don't find out about something happening until AFTER they've already left the hospital or sometimes months after someone's wedding, birth or funeral. I've complained before about being left out of the loop, but for some reason the answer is always that everyone assumed I already knew or surely someone must have told me...Whatever, people. I would say it's because I live far away from the rest of the family, but it was the same story when we all lived close together. :laugh:

    P.S. I've never found out about anything on Facebook because I've never been there. Maybe that's why I'm missing all the "good" news. :wink:

    I found out my uncle had been hit by a truck on Facebook. He survived, but that was nearly two years ago and he's just now relearning to walk.
    I also found out my cousin had died in car accident while moving to Kentucky. Since I live in Kentucky I contacted my uncle and other cousin to see if I could be of any assistance (they live in Texas), and found out it was all a stupid scheme hatched by my two cousins... Something about wanting to break connections with bad influences... They let everyone on my mom's side of the family believe he was dead for DAYS, including his own son. Utterly ridiculous.
    I also just found out today that another uncle who had been admitted to the hospital in a diabetic coma had had a stroke and two seizures last night.

    Usually my family is pretty good about calling, though. Sometimes they slack, like recently, but there's been a lot of health issues going on, so I can forgive them.
    The worst non-family thing I've learned from face book was that a former classmate and friend (I've lost touch with) was inspired by my healthy eating and weight loss so she started a juice cleanse. She got mad at me when I showed her evidence that it wouldn't work, so I dropped it. Drama is as drama does.

    Most of my Facebook is my friends and family posting about their day to day, food porn, and George Takei. Not much drama there.

    Edited for typo. Oops.

    I found out my eldest son impregnated that woman he married and that she lost the baby. Several months later, I found out he (we're going on the assumption it was him, at this point) did it again. She is due in July sometime. He still hasn't told me. *shrug*

    Best part? This is the FIRST grandchild out of three sons. Not sure this was how I envisioned it...but then I also envisioned him marrying an actual HUMAN BEING. :huh:

    Really? Re-read what you wrote. It's not very nice. I think you'll be a happier person if you let go of the bitterness and focus on the positive things in your life. :brokenheart:

    Facebook! Seriously, why does anyone even need it? It's nothing but a site for attention and all it does is break up marriages and relationships. So many people are addicted! What a shame you all can't live without it. Do yourselves a favor and delete your profiles. :)

    I'm not even on Facebook and even I think this post is ridiculous..

    I found out my first love went back to the girl who had cheated on him. All power to him if he's happy I guess.

    Sounds more like the husband sucks. Facebook didn't make him do it.
