facebook status update haters

Just been to check out my status updates. I have come to the conclusion that I am not quite a baby bore but almost certainly a glutton, the vast majority of my updates are about food.

Boop, I hope you are ok. ?

Checked mine. I never knew I was a weather bore. ?

...better than mine which are mostly about self-medicating with alcohol and the state of my house (two topics close if not exactly dear to my heart). <yawnity yawn><sends apologies to all FB friends>

[and a ? to lovely Boop while we're at it]

Having read mine, there appears to be no theme, just a bore

Mine are a mix of my children and homelife. I couldn't give a rats ass if anyone finds it tedious and boring. I could be like my H who seems to go through endless song lyrics but the minute I start to type I get writers block. Probably why I fall back on my kids so much ?

I am sorry to have read Boop's post ? and for what it's worth it's not sad to be proud of a dog. I am proud of 2 labs and they're not even mine!

So how do you check your status update history?

I don't have to check mine to know that I am a terrible bore, albeit on a great number of subjects (mainly music, food, getting off my pickle and pugs). I like hearng most peoples updates because it's a way for me to feel like I'm in touch with snippets of my friends' lives without it taking much effort on my part to do so. (Yes, lazy cow icon required). I figure if people don't like my updates they can cull me or change their settings (not aimed at anyone in particular, Niiiiiick!) ? Boop, can't think of anything to say that doesn't sound trite or sh!te, sorry. You are lovely and I hate to think of you feeling like this. ? xxx

Oh boop, I really dont know what to say to you but it really is ok to feel the way you do. You are trying to cope with something in your own way and i cant even begin to imagine how hard it must be for you. I am pretty angry with your friends though, totally insensitive and selfish of them to be so unaware. OUr friends have just been through similar and i did everything ot "hide" my baby bump and certianly not drone on about pregnancy. We tried VERY hard not to take it personally when they didnt want to see us for the first year of N's life and totally understood even though we were not having a good time of it ourselves and needed some friends support. I want to shout at your friends.

I have a very annoying "acquantance" on facebook who has in the last 4 hours posted:-

R loves Matilda

R is thankful for the wiggles, M loves them

R is tired, matilda needs to sleep more

R is taking M swimming today

4 hours? Why? Why do we need to know updates every hour. they are always so smug about her fabulous no trouble baby. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Another weather bore here - 5 out my last 10 related to snow! The others all included a wider range of topics though !

I think I am just a bore generally rather than a baby bore. Looking at my last few updates they have about food, snow, new job, waiting to hear about new job, facebook emails not working, lack of sleep and going out for a night. So not really any one subject but I don't think any of them were particularly interesting updates?

I'm a bore, I'm sure! Last few have been about falling over, going out for fresh air (in wheelchair) and fire/arson stuff. I love reading yours Lou! Apart from your Coldplay hatred LOL

I LOVE lou's updates, they make me feel young again ?. harp ?

i hope i'm not a bore. i have culled in the past for annoying updates rather than boring ones (no hitchers i hasn't to add) and overuse of text speak. mine are occaisonally about cub, but more often about yoga/food/life / whatever pops into my head.

recently a few people have REALLY helped me out through fb and, like lou, i like the no hassle way of keeping in touch with snippets of people's lives.

? boop. i really hope you're ok.

I like getting updates for much the same reason as Lou. My only problem is I want more of them as I'm only a relative newbie so don't have many fb friends ? Woe is me.

Look, people, i dont care whether you like them or not. you certainly shouldnt have to feel you must defend liking them. some do, some dont. this thread was aimed at the don't s. i appreciate i m a grumpy old *** about it.

Wf-i-sS!

Apart from the yoga bit, obviously. ?

I don't think I'm a bore about anything in particular, just in general. ? My updates are normally quite random. I do have one friend who is driving me batty though. She found out she was pregnant and every day her updates are only about that, her avatar is her scan picture, her wall posts and notes..you get the idea. I am normally okay about baby posts despite being a DTCer, but I am starting to consider culling this person just because they are irritating me so much - just now I have turned them down so I don't see their updates as much.

I used to have a lot of fb friends, but I was ruthless the other day and I pretty much got rid of about half of them. I got rid of anyone who I never speak to at all, or hasn't replied to any of my notes for months. Now I have found status updates are far more amusing - FWIW, I have never been bored by yours MrsB, Lou or HH, or in fact, any hitchers
