Facebook status is an occasionally interesting, mostly banal, sometimes humorous window into the lives of people I know but do not see often enough to know much about their day to day lives. Mostly, it’s fun. I know that one friend is rapidly losing weight, I get little updates about my fellow teacher training graduates picking up classes, and learn about friends’ kids’ milestones. I even get confirmation about what does and does not change in the world: the guy who was a snob in high school now complains about having to fire another maid, and the guy who was voted most spirited posts lots of stuff about local sports. I enjoy these little details, BUT, for the love of man, for the sake of all that is holy, could you please just NOT post about having a “stomach virus?” My god, people. Even more so than posting about firing another maid:
1. It’s disgusting, and
2. It makes me never want to talk to you again because I am paranoid and neurotic,* and
3. Oh my god, it’s really disgusting.
*Morning sickness doesn’t count, because it’s not contagious and miracle of life and all that business.

i appreciate the disclaimer. it’s nice to know that my vomit is socially acceptable.
btw, i thought that by “following” your blog, i would get notified when you posted. otherwise, what’s the point? do you get notified when i post something?
You’re welcome.
I don’t get notified about your blog, but when I log in to do something with my blog, there will be something about your new post at the bottom of the screen. I, too, was hoping to be notified about blogs I follow, but alas, it is not to be. I wonder if there is some setting for that somehwere? I’m tired.
