Ugh!

I'm totally addicted to Facebook. I know it, and I could care less. I've reconnected with many people in the last year and a half I've been a member of the site and met a few new people, which is awesome. I play some of the games...okay, I can't lie about this one. I'm hooked on FarmVille. Anyway...I'm kind of pissed off right now. A few of my FB friends think it's okay to overshare. You know, "TMI" and all that. It's nice to know what's going on in their lives, and we get into great conversations. However, some things are too much. One of my FB friends was in an accident today. She rear-ended a school bus, and texted this in her status just a few minutes later. This is SO unsafe, and it makes me wonder if she was texting when she hit the school bus in the first place. Now she's posting pics of her 7 year old daughter sitting in a bed in the ER. The kid was with her mom when the accident, and now has a concussion because of it. Another one of my FB friends' son got a really bad burn over the summer when he stepped in hot coals from a campfire. I sent my well wishes, this woman sent pics of her son's mangled foot. Am I the only person who sees anything wrong with this? If my son was injured, I would be comforting him - not taking pics and posting them to my FB page. I didn't take a pic of him when he had H1N1 and post it, because the kid was really sick. I did take a pic of my nasty burn on my arm and post it, because my friends know how clumsy I am. Not to mention, some of them asked to see a pic of it. So, yet again, I am "cleaning house" on FB. Going through my "friends" and deleting some of them is sometimes hard on me, but I've got to learn to get a thicker skin.
