prior to joining or such, before we get 'friended'. At least, from the stories I have heard about FB, I'm glad I never joined. Good luck w/ your attempts to be friends w/ her, she deserves an 'F' for being so disrespectful in others' feelings. Not everybody feels the way she does and she should already know that, that not everyone feels the way she does.

I give you a lot of credit for attempting to reach out to her, but I think you're right to unfriend her.
