Tons and tons of work on the fewest lines of code, lol.
Anyway, long story short..notifications & favorites work,
but still need to associate objectId w/the object details
in notifications.  Think I will need to add a type option
to various actions (post, comment, hate, share, etc).
Also need to add activity logging to every little thingy
and clean up the styles on the drop downs for favs/etc.
