FACEBOOK FAUX PAS?

I'm a huge Facebook fan.  I mean - not that 10 status' a day kind of fan or 5 billion friends that I don't know kind of fan - but a fan.  A fan that looks forward to my time checking my friends daily status updates - see who's doing what and who's doing who!

In my 20somethings status updates seem to be about hangover cures or lack thereof, reminders of what happened the night before, and last minute Vegas trip adventures.  As I grew up (aka - older...) I started noticing these status's changing before my eyes... housewife issues, recipe sharing and baking bonanza's, and babies, babies, babies.

Don't get me wrong -  no matter what the status update I always look forward to what my friends near and far are up to.  I care - I want to know everyone is happy!  HOWEVER, I do feel like Facebook should come with some sort of rule book - I like to call them faux pas.

If I ruled Facebook - here would be my list of FFP's (Facebook Faux Pas):

• Pictures of each meal you had throughout the week! - I love food - sometimes too much.  I love seeing the occasional dish or delight - but if your posting pics of every meal you eat Sunday through to Saturday I'm seriously going to start counting my carbs - and I really don't want that!
• Gym updates!  - Ok, I get it, your sexy and you know it... you work out.  *clap*clap (that's me clapping for you).
• No baby poop status updates! - Ok I love babies, I love how they look, how they smell and how cute they are.  I know (from my mommy friends) that sometimes the poop's are a really big deal - but do you need to tell the whole Facebook world?!   I look forward to seeing my friends status updates - NOT how their baby looked pooping and what colour it was!
• Naked kids in a tub pics! - I'm not even going to say it.... It just makes me wonder why anyone would want those pics on the public... anyone can see... world wide web.
• A bazillion pictures of yourself - same pose different clothes!  - Unless your celebrity at a premier or red carpet event, I really don't want to see the same exact picture of you every day.  I know your hot - and you should too ;)
• The Fishing status - the vague melancholy status update where people have to ask you what's the matter, you explain, people feel sorry for you, you get a million people tell you that you deserve better, your beautiful, etc.....  Not cool - facebook is not your awesome girlfriend that would be at your house in a second with a bottle of tequila and it's definitely not not a warm shoulder to cry on - really, call your bestie!
• No pukey party pics!  - I would never truly let loose and enjoy a good night if I was thinking of the aftermath or that pic my hubs buddy posted earlier - so please - let me be delusional to think hangovers don't exist while I enjoy this 3rd glass of red wine!  Loovvvee youuuuu!

I'll admit - I'm sure I'm guilty of all of these if not now, I will be at some point.  These FFP's is what makes life interesting - if everyone abided by rules we wouldn't have anything to talk about.  It's like hearing of a celebrity wearing white after labor day.... so 10 seconds ago.  But please - let's all not be Lindsay Lohan's of Facebook - and rather strive to be Oprah Winfrey's of our modern world.
