[chiver78]

except that #2 there, yeah.

although I can't really judge much, with the beach shots from the weekend and various airport check-ins so family knows I'm still on track to get home on time.

Do I have non braggy friends?

I guess so!

I also don't identify with people's complaints about their FB pages.

Coming here was the first I'd heard about that food stamp SANFU.

#12: politics - I've had to 'unfriend' several people because of political comments.  My friends list is less than 50 and most of those post very seldom and nothing political.

[Rocky Mtn Saver]

1.  David Tennant promos for Tenth Doctor month. 
2.  My latest blog post. 
3.  Wedding photo of a friend's granddaughter.  Bride in a nice but simple wedding dress.
4.  Inspirational message on a nature photograph.
5.  Casual selfie pic of a family I'm friends with. 
6.  Complaint by a friend about how much homework her English class is having. 
7.  New "Catching Fire" trailer.
8.  Upcoming events list at a friend's new local nanobrewery.

I friended lots of people I don't know to play games so see lots of stuff I don't care about. I don't notice may vacations, usually a new grandchild or complaining about people not treating them right. Those that do random friends don't do that to friends without saying what happened seem like sad losers. I don't check my feed but maybe once a week in case someone I actually know has something interesting posted. The vacations don't bother me at all, some are living in parents basement or parents paying and or may have saved a year to go. Some it could be the first vacation in 25 years and be a dream come true. I think most vacations are cheap and people go into debt for them or someone else pays. One mother of 6 niece and her BFF another mother of 6 went to Disney without spouses or children. They probably drove to Disney world, stayed as cheap as they could and didn't do extras they live in Tennessee. I bet it was her first vacation for just fun. She came without family for mom's illness but I don't think they vacation all the time.

I haven't had a real vacation in 29 years, just camping trips so if I post about one nobody should really think it is common. Going someplace that seems exotic like Bahamas may be a cheap trip if you live in Florida.

Yeah, my "friends" are totally boring.  If you'd asked Sunday, would've been a million pics/posts from our 25th HS reunion Saturday night.  Now, some of those were interesting

[sheilaincali]

Here's mine:

1.  Nerdgasm post article about the anniversary of Atari's release

Wow- during the work day my facebook is super boring.  Mostly it ends up being posts from pages that I have liked at some point or other (George Takei, Science, RDF, GSHM, etc) 

[chiver78]

my feed can be kind of braggy....

1. a friend pimping out her car via the new car-sharing service Lyft
2. a post-race family pic from a hockey teammate, she and her sisters did a half-marathon this weekend
3. new music post/link
4. someone booked their flights for the Feb trip
5. Tony Lucca announcing a new festival lineup he's going to be a part of
6. a SAHD posted a goofy pic of his toddler w/a produce sticker on her forehead
7. casual jewelry gift pic
8. event advertising from the business account of a friend
9. more new music
10. pics of a new mural for a friend's baby's room

I'd say 50/50 there.

[sarcasticgirl]

I don't really find vacation posts braggy- of course I travel and so do quite a lot of my friends. I enjoy beautiful vacation photos... in fact, it bugs me when close friends don't post photos while traveling. I'm nosy! I want to see what's going on! show me something pretty 

my feed is boring-ish today:

1. friend bought concert tickets
2. sephora has a new eyeshadow palette 
3. a soldier I sponsored during her last deployment complaining about her base
4. a pic of someone feeding a baby
5. a friend's hockey blog link
6. some beautiful shots of hawaii from a friend who's moving back to the mainland
7. George Takei
8. Barkbox sharing a post about a pet artist
9. me whining about having a cold
10. a bunch of Likes and comments by friends on random things that have nothing to do with anything I follow on FB. There used to be an option to not have your friends' "likes and comments" show up in your feed.... where did that go?!?!
 

[kittensaver]

Pretty non-braggy:

someone asking for suggestions about embracing a clean diet
a family birthday photo
a friend's cat (adorable!)
a photo of rescued turkeys from a local private animal sanctuary
a dog photo
a gorgeous photo from Heal The Bay of a breaching humpback whale (yeah, I have a LOT of animal sites in my feed)
a friend testifying today in front of our Board of Supervisors
stuff from George Takai (he's really funny, folks)
another cat photo
a computer friend talking about the new version of a back-up system
Lupus Awareness month
a list of spammer phone numbers (don't pick up the phone when you see one of these)
someone cheering the Dodger's win
a posting from my hiking club
a friend teasing her DH with a photo of a scary clown.

I did the opposite...I had one person that posted non-stop political  stuff (and in a very judgmental "all of you on the right are clearly morons" kind of way)...I kept replying and arguing with her until she finally unfriended me!lol  I don't usually talk politics to friends and certainly never argue politics but she just irritated the shit out of me...instead of just unfriending her I decided to have fun with her

[Otto the Orange]

You people need to start unfriending those worst assholes of all:  the ones who post pictures of scary clowns.  Which fyi - is all clowns.



oops, to be fair, I posted one awhile back to torture a couple of the girls here.  In retrospect, I may have deserved an unfriending.  Or an ass-kicking.

You've never unfriended anyone because they block you first

[Deleted]

- I've got 2 friends constantly posting pics of their grandsons,
- one newly retired friend posts lots of pics of the view at her new place and the walks and stuff she takes when the rest of us are working,
- a few friends are posting family pics from 20 and 30 years ago,
- my cousin's wife posted a pic of her new car with discussion about my cousin only getting to wax it for her,
- another male friend posting updates of how well he is doing working through his separation (I don't think he really is doing well but we give him encouragement)
- another friend has booked her vegas trip for Feb

We are a braggy bunch. And we have the nerve to congratulate each other!
