Even though Freya didn’t seem to be as sore this morning as she was yesterday, we skipped today’s trial, and Rottweiler wrestling and chase games in the yard were disallowed for another day. That should help her get back to 100%, at least physically, before our next class. We still need a lot of work on attention under heavy distractions.
Since we skipped the trial and cancelled all Rottweiler contact sports for the day, there was plenty of time to go online and find things to complain about. I have complained a few times in the past about the faux “news” from stupid Facebook apps filling up the “news” feed.
So I just want to say one more thing about that. There is one individual that I keep as a Facebook “friend” for only one reason. This person adds just about every new Facebook application, stupid or not, seemingly almost the minute it is released. Now, you would think that would make me not want that person as a friend, and in general, that would be true.
However. In this case, I am using said app addict as my early warning system. The minute this person sends out a “news” item from a new application, I can immediately block the app and never be bothered by it again. Or at least until Facebook breaks itself yet again.
See, everyone has a purpose. Sometimes, their purpose is just not very grand.
Oh, and if you’re wondering if you are that person? If you’re interested enough in my life to read my blog, and interested enough in your own life to post things other than just what the apps post for you … you are almost certainly not that person.

Facebook is starting to drive me crazy with all that crap. Luckily I can just do status updates on my phone and skip over most of that garbage. I like simple and Facebook is becoming anything but simple these days…

Thanks to my “early warning system” I have been able to block a lot of the app crapp, but there is still a lot of annoying non-news that sneaks by. It wouldn’t bother me so much except it gets in the way of status updates and photos, you know, the real stuff from real people!
