#facebookfail

So, I hear this rumor that facebook had the ultimate fail. Some how, their system had a glitch, so that every "private" message, is now posted on your wall, for all the world to see. Now, this was only messages from the year 2010 or before, and let's be real, only psycho-stalkers would ever go back that far to search your page, but they're out there.

There is a fix, for YOUR page, but all of your friends will have to fix their own page. I bet at this very moment you are thinking, "oh my! what in the world have I posted that I wouldn't want someone to see. What have I said (written) that is now public? who is going to find out about it? who is going to know how I really feel about them?  had a crush on them? wanted to curse the ground they walk on?"....aren't you, you are aren't you??

Well, don't worry, I had those same thoughts. I went through and hid them, so you'll never know, BUT in doing so, I found this one message, from my then friend, now - husband! I can't wait to show it to him when he gets home from work. I wonder if he's seen my "wild side" yet or not :)   (p.s. sorry Fa, I just realized you totally got called out if you did indeed, skip out early on choir practice to meet me)


Soooo, now I'll tell you how to fix it:
  • First, go to your profile.
  • Then, click on the year on the right hand side of the page. 
  • Next, you will see a box pop up with all of your "events".
  • Click the "pencil" in the top right hand corner of that box (It will say "edit or remove").
  • Then click "hide from timeline"
  • TA-DA! DONE!
While writing that step by step instruction set, I had a flashback to English class from some early childhood days! first, next, then, lastly.......I thought I'd never use that information in my nursing career!
