Teppy, those are great pictures! I think the apple one is my favorite, because it's just so ... something.

I have 2 friend requests to ignore this morning. One a dude in Alabama that I never heard of and the other is one of my customers. Now this customer is one of my favorites. The entire practice is filled with the sweetest most loving people we have ever worked with. BUT they are super heavy duty religious. As in they are a cancer center and pray with the patients, have only bibles in the waiting room for reading material, and have 'spiritual agreements' among their standard medical forms. I think they would have heart failure if I friended them.

Honestly, I have never worked with nicer people. K in my office was late creating some forms for them and they asked in all sincerity if she was having some issue causing the delay that they could pray about for her. So much better than the screaming clients.

But FB friends, not so much.

So the kind of religious people where you don't want to shock them, rather than the sort of religious people where a few well-placed shocks could only be a good start?

I'm friends with a nun on FB (she's only 4 years older than I am), and so I will judiciously filter her out of some things, although in general since I have a lot of family -- and Tim's family -- on my friends list, I try not to post things that are risque or ridiculously profane. (Sometimes I have to edit the audience after the fact based on how the comments go. Obviously Sr. E. and Tim's family are familiar with profanity and other salty language, but I'm just trying to be mindful of who might read things.)

Exactly, Connie.

I try to avoid such things on mine as well, Teppy. Lots of family on FB and too lazy to filter. Still, my content is still going to be way left of where they are located. As it is I get a lecture every time I post something from 'Fucking Love Science' from step-dad. He has been told a number of times from me and sibs that he can just deal with it. Most have his grandkids have just unfriended him because of the lectures.

I actually don't share stuff from that page because of the name. FB is just different from here, and while I'm profane as hell in certain company, I'm more careful with my speech in wider circles.

For the most part, I haven't friended anyone on FB that I wouldn't want to see whatever I normally post. And I don't normally post really rude stuff. (I don't think I do...) There are some people from work on my FL; those are the only ones I'm really cautious about. There was a period a few years ago where I decided to try and get back in touch with some people from high school (what was I thinking?!). It didn't go well. Only one woman friended me, and she turned out to be a hideous racist Tea Partier. I was horrified. I always knew she was not real smart, but I never thought she'd end up that far down the track on the stupid train.

My posts get political, but I don't think there's anyone on my FL that doesn't (mostly) agree with me politically. FB is not the place I want to have "stimulating" political disagreements! And no matter what you do, it's still public. Friends of the person you're talking to can wander in and start commenting. It's happened to me more than once that a person I don't know has butted into a convo between me and a friend and started raising my blood pressure.

Oh, yeah, the I Fucking Love Science site - see, that didn't even trip my "inappropriate" filter! If there's anyone on my friend's list who's offended by that, they can just deal, and they must, because no one's given me any shit about it. People* are totally welcome to unfriend, mute, or block me. I don't give a crap. I probably won't even notice. If we're not actually friends enough for me to notice they've got a problem with me, or for them to talk to me about it, then as far as I'm concerned it isn't a problem.

*Not you guys. You guys can unfriend me, of course, but I would give a crap.

They have a clean version.

Perhaps the answer is obvious, but...what's it called? I Love Science?
