Well, it appears some of my former classmates are now removing me slowly from their "friends" on Facebook.
I say give it time, and most of them will have probably done so.
but....
in other news, my business is really starting to boom...so when that does happen regardless, I'll have a lot more friends on there--mostly business associates--and I'll be too busy laying on the beach of Malibu to even notice!! !

It's for the best. It doesn't seem like they were true friends anyway (just good acquaintances at best), if they're choosing to take you off their Facebook lists. So when your business succeeds, you don't want them to try to use their connection with you for personal gain. Heck, you can add insult to the injury by posting your successes on your profile, so if they check up on it, they'll regret disconnecting from you. (And don't feel obligated to accept they friend request either.)

Oh, don't get me wrong: 95% of the classmates that have me on Facebook don't even really like me as an acquaintance, either.
They're sort of in the "yeah, we added him" category, if ya get my drift.
What is funny though is next year is our 10th Anniversary Reunion; do you honestly think this is helping convince me to go any moreso than I'd already planned to( I hadn't)?
What's yet even funnier is that a good chunk of them went to college to become teachers: so now, they're dealing with Autistic kids in class, and since they won't talk to me, they gotta go based on the criteria laid out for 'em.
