True story. I took care of this yesterdayish.

Wow, Facebook.  That's just sad.

AlexiaANDRobert

Yeah, I thought they were done doing this.  I remember something similar being on the news about deleted profiles not really being deleted and they save your pictures.

You know what I wish? That the four pregnant friends I have on FB would stop posting how many cm dilated they are everyday. I don't care how big your lady bits are getting.

Girllennon, While I love John Lennon, I don't really like all you have going on in your signature down there. Holy schnikes.

I'm so fantastically beautiful and my pictures are so wonderful that I'm positive they will steal all of mine and make them a national add... RIGHT! Thanks for the PSA, done. (In case they need to have some "average" looking people in the ads)

My friend's response to this earlier: "I better not see my profile picture in an ad for Valtrex!"

That the four pregnant friends I have on FB would stop posting how many cm dilated they are everyday. I don't care how big your lady bits are getting.A FB friend commented on one of her friends photo albums, so I just had to look.  Bad move.  There is a picture of her giving birth - like actual baby being removed from vag.  You can't see anything naughty, but still.

Facebook is quickly becoming a TMI Zone it seems.

karenttrouble

thanks for the heads up cubs- do you read STFU marrieds?

N.C.DoubleYou

Thanks Just changed it!! And I agree that Facebook is becoming somewhat of a "TMI zone" Yesterday, my SIL wrote that she "is spending some sexy time with her hubby!" Does that mean that she was Facebooking during their going at it session?....Gross...

Been there, done that.I have a friend, that while I'm happy she's met an apparently great guy, I am so.frickin.tired of hearing about how amazing and wonderful he is everyday.  He gets a standing ovation for breathing every day from her.I hope I was never like that when I first met FI.  I'll have to go back in time and smack myself if so.
