i am having issues with facebook. Mind you, I am not devoted to it like some people I know, but i do check it every week or so. I sometimes put photos on and recently added a face shot (yikes).
My issue is with friend requests. Originally I only had a very few friends from work and that was okay. I added my brother and that is when things got sticky! Other family members started sending requests. some of these people I have not seen for ages and I was okay with that. These are people I have not kept up with and who don't have any Idea whats going on in my life.
A few weeks back I received a request from one of those long lost relatives and i accepted the request. Lo and behold she started filling up the wall with Jesus ramblings. OMG! So, I had to unfriend her as I was not going to be subjected to her religious ramblings. I have a friend now that posts a million farmville things and she is teetering on the unfriend list.
The thing is I have separate components of my life. there are casual work friends, closer friends, extended family and close family and i like keeping all the areas separate. It makes me happy to have those distinct lines. There are things about me that only close friends know and I don't want to share information unilaterally across all sections of people.
So now I receive yet another friend request from another long lost relative. My brother accepted this relatives request while I let it sit there unanswered and not sure exactly what i should do.
I feel like that Seinfeld episode where George's worlds are colliding. Independent George doesn't like it!
