Dear Facebook, I do NOT want your constant urging to make more friends

I have to go on FB to do a few things, and every time the ever so caring and altruistic people of Facebook suggest new friends to me! Why, how nice of them!

Look peeps of FB, I'll find my own friends. Please stop. (yea yea I know it will never stop, $$)

but do not log on often and last week saw zillions of "friend suggestions"
it took me almost 30 minutes to clear my page to see what I wanted to see
and then I had to search for a way to log out

so much for Facebook.
Once again appreciate DU's ease of use.

But sometimes I find it incredibly creepy that they know I know someone.

There is no possible way they should know I am acquainted with some of these people and yet they show up as suggestions.

I don't know what kind of spying they are doing but it creeps me out.

Facebook's friend recommendations for me a while back turned out to be my boyfriend from 1963, who dumped me for someone else that winter. I'd like to be Fb friends with him long enough to tell him to go to hell.
