Not a problem for I. That is a fact.
I have less than 25 Facebook friends. Yes, less than 25, and that is 22 MORE than the true friends I have (if that). I am cool with that. I am obnoxious.
I found out about this limit because I got a ‘friend request‘ over the weekend from musician ‘Bruce Marshall‘ who I had met, Saturday evening, at the amazing ‘Kalled Gallery‘. Despite my obnoxious, anti-social behavior I try not to offend folks by not accepting the very rare friend requests I get. This was the first in a longtime.
I was then blown away to be told, by Facebook, that Bruce already had 5,000 friends and I could not be friends with him. Wow.
I had to look it up. I thought it was a joke. Wow. It is true. Who knew. Not I.
