My ex and I just broke up 3 times in the last 4 years. The first two times she broke up with me for no apparent reason. I tried hard to reach out to her for answers. She ended up telling me that she didn’t love me and don’t want to be with me. That hurt so I’m pretty much gave up after that. I was depressed for months and I just count understand why because we had a great relationship. We ended up getting back together and she apologized for the way she treated me. She did love me and she talked about me to her friends nonstop. She told me she would never leave me that way again. But because of the way she treated me I’m insecure and I couldn’t let her in completely right away. I lied to her about some small stuff because I was scared if her leaving me again for nothing. She found out about the lies the day I had planned a date to talk to her. she broke up with me again and it’s the same treatment again until i met a spell caster who helped me restore my relationship back within 7 days am so happy i got her back. you can reach him via email {priestolokun @gmail .com}
Was hoping this post would work, but I believe it is now completely outdated due to Facebook updates. Is the suggestion in this post even possible anymore?
I see you don’t monetize your website, don’t waste your traffic,
you can earn additional bucks every month. You can use the
best adsense alternative for any type of website (they approve all websites), for more details simply search

What’s up, of course this post is truly good and I have learned lot of
things from it on the topic of blogging. thanks.
On the left hand side of the page right above messages and events theres an “news feed and arrow. If you click the arrow it allows you to change it from “top stories” to “most recent’
Here is the 2013 fix: If a friend stops posting unexpectedly, go to their facebook page and “Like” on any one of their posts. You will then automatically receive all of the old stuff you missed. And you won’t feel lonely any more.
I am trying to figure out why most of my friends are not able to see my likes, posts, comments, messages or search me. Its like my profile is active but I am invisable. I haven’t touched my settings. I did accidently deactivate my fb page but reactivated it the next day. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem? Thanks
I found out a way to fix the problem but is hard work. Go to Friends List. Click on the Friends button next to each of your friend’s name. Under “Show in News Feed”, click on “Settings”. Then tick “All Updates”. You have to do this for all your friends.
Thanks. Luckily I don’t have that many friends. We’ll see what happens.
I don’t see the above most recent and edit option. please help me.

Facebook has changed since I wrote this post. Now the best way to see what you want it to use LISTS.
that’s nuts too. i have 250 friends, i sure dont want to add them one at a time to some stupid list.
my home page does not look like the one shown. I don’t have News – Most Recent with Blue down arrow. nor do I have Status udates, photos, links etc. no Edit options either. Help?
Facebook has changed a lot since I wrote this post Joan! We no longer have these options. 🙁

I have resorted to trying the lists. I created a few different lists to categorize my news sources, local news, national news, etc. When you want to add a “like” to a list, use the drop down menu under the “liked” button. It will let you add it to whatever list you created and it also gives you the option to “show in news feed”. So now I can go to one of my lists and see everything in that list AND all of my news likes are showing up in my news feed! Kind of a cumbersome way to do it but I also like being able to see each list by itself. Now whenever I see a post from one I know is not in one of my lists, I add it then. You can do it right from the post. Just hover over the title, then move to the liked button and tell it what you want it to do. I hope this helps somebody!
Thanks heaps for sharing, Janis. Facebook is changing so many things – some for the better, some just make more work for us!
Your news feed option is no longer available. Is there another way to fix this? I don’t see half of my friends’ and likes’ posts.
Hi there Janis. I think the best way around this now is to use lists. For instance, the Close Friends list shows most/all activity for people in that list. So you can add the friends you want to see in your news feed to this list. I’ll probably do a post on this as well. Let me know if that helps. 🙂
It’s something to try. It’s not just friends, but a lot of my likes are not showing up, either. I have “liked” a lot of news sources (newspapers, magazines, TV stations, etc) and am frustrated when I realize they are not showing up in my news feed. Why should I have to create these lists? My list would include everyone I’ve ever friended or liked!
Yeah same problem here, its annoying now! why do facebook change things for the worse? I use mine for a lot of football news but now I dont get half as much as i used too
I’ll look into it more and do a post on the best way to see what you want in your news feed. Watch this space! 🙂
Janis Yoder Breen I agree, I have been searching for a fix. I have so many “likes” news sources etc. and they don’t post half the time to my news feed. Sometimes i catch them on the side bar but never show up in my news feed??? Help
Any fix yet? PLEASE?
For me, when I go to Edit I get a box that says “Hide Posts From” and in italics “You have not hidden anything”. So I am left with missing 50% or more of the updates from sites I have ‘Liked” in the past.
Hi Jacqueline. FB has changed a bit since this post. I’ll see if I can work out the new settings and do a new post. M 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I do not see what you are showing. When I click the blue arrow I get…
account settings

help center
I wish I could change it so I could see all my friends post. Thanks again and have a blessed day.
@Tori: Thanks for sharing that tip! 🙂
I found an even nicer feature. You can turn feeds off without unfriending someone. It is great for those friends/family who post comments that you really don’t want others to associate with you but unfriending is a little too offensive. Just mouse over a comment and to the right an “X” will show up. Click the X and you will get the option to hide just the one post or all post by that person. I’ve hidden A LOT of feeds.
