Social networking dilemma:
Husband of an acquaintance had a horrible heart attack followed by many complications, which delayed having the bypass or whatever that he normally would have had in fairly short order. It is indeed a lucky and excellent thing that he pulled through, and today finally had the far more extensive surgery which should stabilize him, and I can't understate how genuinely pleased I am that he's pulled through this far and the repairs went well.
But, and here I go into very small petty I am an awful person voice, I kinda want to unlike acquaintance's announcement on FB -- not to pull any sense of support from her, which wouldn't ever want to do, and so I never actually would -- but because I'm being absolutely fucking BURIED in email from random people I don't know that all pretty much say "yay!" and ":)" and the like.
rat update: she has fled out the front door. Cat is currently penned up inside to give rattus time to get away. We thank-you for your support.
amych, could you just temporarily un-check the preference that you want to be e-mailed when other people comment on the same thing you commented on?
(Is that even a preference for FB?)
It... probably is. But I find it hard enough to find my way through all the million prefs to find the right ones, let alone remember what I want them to be. Stupid facebook.
(IOW, good suggestion -- I'll do that.)

You can also filter it out of your gmail.

Easier still, since Facebook is so made of fail today that it's crashing every time I try to get to the settings page. Bah.
(Mostly, I feel heartless and trollish and therefore seek technological solutions. Sigh.)
Those notifications drive me crazy too.
Calli, thanks! Just what I needed. Vortex and Laga, um, points for effort.

I had this dilemma a few days ago. I was thinking I should wait to say Happy Birthday or whatever in the future for a while until the mass of people had posted so I wouldn't be inundated.
I cannot believe how much I have to skip around here after only 5 days of university (this just in: I'll actually study MORE than the previous year. Hello, 52 credit points! [out of total sum of 120. And I already have 51. Yes, I'll end with more credit than I theoretically need, but not practically. The joy of studying in two different faculties, let me tell you about it]).
But.
Erasure. A Little Respect. I'm concerned about the lyrics, and that has nothing to do with respect, since I have little to none.
Yes. That is what disturbing me now, as I collapse to bed and to blessed sleep. Erasure. For some reason, I figured you'd understand.
And I really really weally want to go back 300 posts and read what I've missed this week, so stop talking so much, all of you.
So the last thing I looked at on eBay was the collar Steph linked to.
Imagine Joe's surprise when he pulled up eBay today and got a look at the "Recommendations based on your last viewing".
snerk.
