I think it’s time to go back to school. Ummm. Recently a family member and a friend asked me why I blocked them. I was confused. I checked just in case and there were no blocked people on my list. Then I see this. Hmmm, I am not the only one. So now I am fixing my blocked posts. I wondered where everybody had been! This is good to know. It's ridiculous to have over 300 friends and only 25 are allowed to see posts.
I ignored this post earlier because I didn’t think it worked. It WORKS!! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypass the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed. Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts...
okay here goes....HELLO. To regain friends in your news feed and get rid of ads - Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ′copy’. Go to your page where it says ‘What's on your mind?’ Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.
Hello new and old friends!!

It's sad we have to keep doing this to kill the Ads and see our friends hello haven’t seen you or your posts in a long time 😳

This was an article help written by my baby brother Paul Graf, number 10. I’m number nine and yes we have 10 children that were produced by Rita and Fritz Graf while he held a full-time job working for Ritter. Fritz also had a professional NFL job for 23 years and one year with the AFL and he did the championship game that the Browns were part of so enjoy the article below we’ve heard we’ve read we’ve seen many of these things over the past 20 years with Fritz and his accomplishments it would be great to see him get inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame one day soon. So proud of my father for being official at the highest level in a sport that everyone loves and now we have the Super Bowl that’s this Sunday. One of my empires Mark Larson called me up today and said he enjoyed meeting my father Mark is an official as well and does football and he does basketball and he does softball and he asked me if I missed my father more around this time and of course the answers yes but I think there are many times that you would like to just pick up the phone? And then my dad would ask me where the hell are you? Don’t they have any umpires in Michigan don’t they have any umpires in Indiana don’t they have any umpires and Pennsylvania don’t they have any umpires in New York don’t they have any umpires in Illinois don’t they have any umpires in Wisconsin? Don’t they have any umpires in Kentucky? I said dad I do the same thing you do at the highest level on softball I’ve been working in division one for 38 years and I’m so excited that the season started yesterday so with that said enjoy the article and let’s vote for Fred to make it into the football Hall of Fame, so proud of Fritz Graf, my father, our father, and he enjoyed himself on and off the field

Graf is the 18th candidate selected to be presented to Canton
