But thanks to Facebook, I can\u2019t get away from my friends sharing their political thoughts with me (I wish there was a privacy control to filter out political postings, pictures of food and abused animals).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just here on FB, people, to see what friends are up to when I\u2019m bored, throw a few birthday shout-outs, smile at some cute kid photos, laugh at funny animal videos, publicize the links to my weekly and monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Momservations-135100983366277\/\">Momservations,<\/a> and maybe post a noteworthy* pic\/update now and again.<\/p>\n<p>Can we please keep the politics out of it?
