constant workout updates
constant pics of meals
constant professing of love of their significant other
constant spewing of religious verses
constant bragging

What about poor spellers?

ISWYDT!

Meh.

Rational Versus Organic Approach to Problem Solving

Rational

A person with this preference often prefers using a comprehensive and logical approach similar to the guidelines in the above section. For example, the rational approach, described below, is often used when addressing large, complex matters in strategic planning.

Define the problem.
Examine all potential causes for the problem.
Identify all alternatives to resolve the problem.
Carefully select an alternative.
Develop an orderly implementation plan to implement that best alternative.
Carefully monitor implementation of the plan.
Verify if the problem has been resolved or not.
A major advantage of this approach is that it gives a strong sense of order in an otherwise chaotic situation and provides a common frame of reference from which people can communicate in the situation. A major disadvantage of this approach is that it can take a long time to finish. Some people might argue, too, that the world is much too chaotic for the rational approach to be useful.

Organic

Some people assert that the dynamics of organizations and people are not nearly so mechanistic as to be improved by solving one problem after another. Often, the quality of an organization or life comes from how one handles being “on the road” itself, rather than the “arriving at the destination.” The quality comes from the ongoing process of trying, rather than from having fixed a lot of problems. For many people it is an approach to organizational consulting. The following quote is often used when explaining the organic (or holistic) approach to problem solving.

“All the greatest and most important problems in life are fundamentally insoluble … They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This “outgrowing” proves on further investigation to require a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest appeared on the horizon and through this broadening of outlook, the insoluble lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded when confronted with a new and stronger life urge.”
From Jung, Carl, Psychological Types (Pantheon Books, 1923)

A major advantage of the organic approach is that it is highly adaptable to understanding and explaining the chaotic changes that occur in projects and everyday life. It also suits the nature of people who shun linear and mechanistic approaches to projects. The major disadvantage is that the approach often provides no clear frame of reference around which people can communicate, feel comfortable and measure progress toward solutions to problems.

Just hide her from your newsfeed.

Yes. Or delete. Your facebook, your rules.

I delete anyone who insults me or a friend, or who can't take a joke, personally.

Single moms who constantly complain that their boyfriends are stupid, selfish, cheat, go out too much and then turn around and post how much they love them. Chances are if he isn't around to help, he doesn't wanna have anything to do with you and the kid anymore. Just break up.

unless they've done something toadally assholish...i usually just hide annoying facebook friends.

Reasons I hide them:

constant workout updates
constant pics of meals
constant professing of love of their significant other
constant spewing of religious verses
constant bragging

Which leaves you having 3 friends, who haven't logged on in the past 3 years.

haha....pretty much. I just have close friends/fam showign now and then mostly updates on companies/shows I follow and to get to the next level in Candy Crush Saga or a rare item in Farmville 2. Facebook can be useful if you use it correctly.

I u !!!!

& that's why I use this site. I found I like these people better.:happy:

Just hide her from your newsfeed.

I had the same issue and I solved it by hiding that person from my newsfeed. It is addictive. I have since hidden so many feeds. It works and they never know about it

I post photos of my baby all the time because I have family all over the place, including my in laws who are overseas, and so they don't get to see her all the time. I'm sure my in laws appreciate seeing photos of their grandchild. Do I care that my old friends from college or people I haven't talked to in over 10 years don't love all the pics? NOPE. You can unfollow people on facebook ya know.

Now people who have given spoilers on my favorite TV shows? Insta-delete!

I find it a little funny because pictures of your kids IS what I want to see... and your dog and your friends.

What I don't wanna see is shared pages from organizations you follow or picture posts (pictures with words on them and sayings).

I am really good at un-following people.

Just stop following her. You can keep her posts off your page, but still have her as a friend. I do that a lot, especially when someone goes extremely left or right.

THIS!!!!!!

Oh, definitely add too many selfies to my list.

I think it should be noted that for the vast majority of people, they *do* want to see pictures of their friends' kids (and dogs[or cats, ferrets, horses, budgies] and friends, as someone noted above). It's just when you're posting 500 pictures a week, it gets old. And I mean, even if they're an ALBUM, it's not so bad. It's when it's one picture at a time, so it's an endless flood in your newsfeed. This goes for pictures of food, too. Or even random scenery or whatever (unless you're a photographer ). I'm friends with *you*, which means I like to know what's going on in your life. Obviously, your kid is a part of that. But then it gets in to the bigger picture of, have you lost your identity to parent-hood?

Most of my friends have kids, and have awesome, balanced lives that involve their family and the people they were before procreation. I have lost touch with a few, however, who completely turned over any separate identity they had the moment they gave birth. I know that goes beyond Facebook, but it's easy to see the turning point when it's captured there in social media and cyberspace, for the world to see. It's almost like some kind of social experiment.
