Back-and-forth

“The Keed” has a Facebook.
It’s called “Robert John Hughes,” me.
Would that I could change it, but nothing is ever easy on Facebook.
I’d call it “The Keed” if I could, but I can’t rename my Facebook that I know of. I hafta close out “Robert John Hughes,” if that’s possible. (My wife and sister, who both died years ago, still have Facebooks, as does a friend who died a while ago). Then I’d open “The Keed.”
I’m mad at Facebook. A while ago it would freeze my machine. But it hasn’t for some time.
It’s also insanely complicated. I never do much for fear of doing something stupid. Sure, I could figure it out, but I got better things to do.
And fairly frequently it would introduce a new interface, which I would have to waste time figuring out. They never could leave well enough alone. —Employ for the techno-geeks.
I have 50 Facebook “Friends.” Facebook is always suggesting I “Friend” people I don’t know, only because they’re “Friends” of people with whom I’m “Friends.” Perish-the-thought, I don’t feel 89 bazilyun “Friends” make me a more worthwhile person.
I have hundreds of e-mail contacts, and I feel e-mail is sufficient. Out of those hundreds there may be 10 or 20 I’m in frequent contact with.
My iPhone gets my e-mail. I preview my e-mail on my iPhone.
Facebook also e-mails every posting of “Friends.” I guess that’s what it’s doing; although I’m not sure, because “Friends” post things my e-mail doesn’t report.
The Facebook e-mails have links (as buttons) to that “Friend’s” actual Facebook posting. —Which is where the “back-and-forth” comes in.
I’ll try the link, and -a) sometimes the actual Facebook posting displays on my iPhone, or -b) sometimes Facebook won’t show me the posting, but instead wants me to get “Facebook for iPhone.”
Far as I know, I already have it. My computer-store put it on when I upgraded to iPhone-6. My iPhone “Settings” say I have it.
Not that I care. What little I dicker Facebook I do on my laptop. I’ve always felt I don’t need “Facebook for iPhone,” although having it was convenient.
It meant I could preview a Facebook posting, just like previewing e-mail.
But as I say, sometimes I have it, and sometimes I don’t. Each try is a test of where the Facebook techno-geeks are.
Suckerberg can just jump in the lake. I ain’t gettin’ “Facebook for iPhone;” not when I already have it, as far as I know.
I’m not desperate. My life has meaning far beyond Facebook.
Cat-videos I have no use for, nor “congrats.”

• “My machine” is my computer.
• “Suckerberg” is of course Facebook head-honcho Mark Zuckerberg.
