I like Facebook and sometimes I do not. This is the time that I do not. I was on Facebook to check my messages and see what some folks were doing etc. and well, I was on my page and I saw that I was no longer in a relationship with my love or even friends!!! WHAT??? How? Why? You can imagine my horror when I saw this b/c I just saw him on Jan. 3 for a surprise visit and got roses etc. After my SHOCK on how I may have been "dumped on Facebook", I knew something was not right b/c he would not be that shallow and break up with me via Facebook without us talking first; especially not after driving over 4 hours to visit. He just would NOT do that. Needless to say, I was very worked up and well told him to call me ASAP and asked if I had done something? Of course I did not do anything, but it did make me wonder. He called back and was clueless of the event and I told him and he said not sure what happened he was not on his page changing things except to "like" some pages and comment on some post and pages. He added me back as a friend, but I cannot seem to get the relationship status update to work. I told him about this too and he says well, dear, "Everyone knows we are in a relationship" so no need to worry what Facebook says. I know my love is right and he reassured me that he loves me more than life itself, but it is and was very nice to look up on my profile page and see that I was "In a Relationship with JJ". Since it was being SO difficult and frustrating I took off the whole in a relationship part on Facebook. I am kind of sad about it, but it was probably for the best.
I hope Facebook fixes itself soon and stops with these glitches. It just seems like others can keep their relationship status correct on Facebook and for me it does not. But it has happened the same way twice now: Not friends on Facebook and then we re-add each other start with the whole fixing of the relationship status on Facebook. Sheesh :( What do you think, did I go overboard with it all?
On another note, I like Jewelry and Make-up a lot and a great site that has good daily deals and specials is called End Of Retail:
https://www.endofretail.com/ I just ordered a set of 4 rings (on right) for $7 and a gold plated chunky bracelet (on left) for $3.00. They are a safe site and their items ship quickly to you. Check it out and let me know what you think. Here are some pictures of what I ordered this shipment. They have deals sometimes as low as 1 penny!! Yes ONE PENNY!!!
~eloquently rambling...
Facebook sometimes does things arbitrarily as far as I can tell!! Just the other day I wrote -in a private group - I was consoling someone on the imminent death of a parent--it disappeared!! Well I did re write it--and strangely enough (or thankfully) she had seen it before it disappeared and responded! I do wish Facebook would get it's act together!!
ReplyDeleteMikiHope, me too, i wish they would quit with all the changes. no fix as of yet, and he still has not/cannot see my request :( oh well. i am glad your issue got fixed though :)
DeleteAnother reason not be on facebook. I have enough trouble with the computer without facebook.
ReplyDeleteif i did not use it as a way to keep in touch with some of my friends in various states and countries, i would have probably done away with it too.
DeleteFacebook seems to be a non-ending circus of changes and glitches just like you've noted here. I never know from day to day what will appear and how features will work. It seems to have gotten worse instead of better. I can see where it would be pretty upsetting to find that your relationship had suddenly disappeared, glad it was just a fluke, that would not be a nice way to find something like that out!!
ReplyDeleteJosie, OMG, no, it was not nice. i had to calm down before taking it too him about it! but there are some folks that it is the only way and first way they find out :(
DeleteI had a similar issue... about 300 friends that had joined my FB group all were dropped. They thought I kicked them out and I thought they all left without reason... Glad to know that FB strikes at all levels!
ReplyDeleteSherryl, aww, that stinks :( i hope they all rejoined and yes, it does seem to strike at all levels.
DeleteFacebook wouldn't be Facebook if it didn't mess up ALL the time. I have been "unfriended" a couple of times and wondered what I did to make this happen, Only to get a friend request from them later, neither one knowing what happened. They are always "improving" things only to mess up what was working to begin with. Ah, the joys of Facebook.
ReplyDeleteRedheaded Bookworm, i agree. seems like after FB installed the timeline feature, it got worse. they should just leave it an option to change features and not make it forced. glad to hear you were re-friended by all. i was too by him :)
DeleteWow...I would have freaked out too. Somebody needs to write a program that would back up all your FB contactcs, and then make them available to be re-added the next time it happens.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves your background, and we went to the Jelly Belly site. She didn't believe me that there was a "buttered popcorn" flavored Jelly Belly! Score one of the Mom! ;)
LuAnn, i agree. with all the smart tech savvy people out there, FB should be fixed by now. i am glad she likes the jelly beans. they are quite a versatile candy in terms of what flavors you can find them in :) go mom go! have you tried that flavor?
DeleteAn interesting facebook story. Look forward to seeing you again next Thirsty for Comments Thursday.
ReplyDeleteWayne, me too! i hope to be there too! what a neat concept :)
