which I have since cancelled, was approached by a couple guys looking to hookup (one told me what a good lover he was-- yuck, what a turn-off especially coming from a complete stranger) which ticked me off as I clearly stated I was married, etc, then again that is probably why they contacted me. Told each of them off and never heard from them again for which I was glad. Cancelled my account soon after that. But got on Facebook a about 8 months ago and some old friend "found" me back in February and since then have gotten back in touch with about 30 people I grew up with, kind of cool, exchanged a few emails here and there. Just dug out some old class pics over the weekend and plan to post them there, ought to be funny, another girl dug out some, and I have found more so we all get a kick out of it.

I do Facebook but have not gone over
to check out twitter yet. My BF is on there, but only just got on, so I haven't heard much about it.
Facebook for me has been fun just
because I am now in contact with people I have not seen/heard from in years (I am 50). The people I run around with are all on it, but mostly we just play the games and take the tests (don't ask me why). Posting of photos is nice.
By the way, my daughter (who is 19) thinks it is stupid that all of us "older" people are on it. She did let me be her "friend," but I am not allowed to post anything stupid to her.
facebook
Anybody else think facebook is weird? Looking up people you have not seen and listing off personal stuff about yourself? It seems weird to pretend you know everyone so well, virtually, but not in reality.
Maybe try Facebook for this stuff. nm

Myspace for 13-yo
I frequent another board and someone has asked about her 13-yo son having a myspace site. She is not getting any response, so I thought I would post it here. What is the consensus on this. For one thing, though, myspacers are supposed to be 14yo minimum. My only advice for him having a myspace would be that she could learn a lot about his friends because kids post so much on myspace, blogs, comments, etc. Other than that - I didn't think it was a good idea - but that in itself might be a good reason to let him have one - and only if she had the ability to monitor it - what do you all think?
My son is 12 and he WAS on myspace SM
I had him delete his profile. I said maybe this summer, and he keeps begging to get back on. The one thing I found was the profound language used on this site. Also, it is not monitored so anything goes. Yes, my husband and I monitored his web pages and found he had access to quite a few racey sites through my space. He also right in front of my eyes clicked on a cloud icon that suddenly appeared as I was watching, and it was a video definitely not for young eyes. I also found when he was on myspace that he spent endless hours on the computer and lost interest in the other things he enjoys such as skateboarding. I was convinced he would somehow join a gang. I will not make such a long post, but please tell your friend and be forewarned that a lot of what goes on at that site is not for young eyes and be prepared to have this kid sink further and further into cyberspace. I keep fending my son off, but is such the cool thing for kids right now. An alternative is AIM pager. He has some friends at school that have screen names, and he is liking this a lot. He is limited on computer time however since he plays sports. 
I'm no big myspace, fan, but.... (sm)
The kids are all over it, I guess it's one of those generational things....
If I were she, I'd insist that he not use his real name anywhere (like the site name, on the site) and understand why, that he have a protected/restricted page where you can't even view the profile unless you're already on his friends list (that way he can give his URL to his friends then they can send a friend request and he can let them in), and that she either make her own myspace page and him friend her or that she have his username and password so she can get on his site that way.
The kids seem to have fun with it, and I don't think it's inherently bad, but like anything else I think carries risks that you have to weigh out. The best thing that she can do IMO is create her own myspace profile and check it out and learn about how it works so she can monitor his usage better.
Anyone here on Myspace? ..nm
Unfortunately, myspace is all about
Which is why I only visit facebook now. For some reason, there's not all the drama on facebook that there is on myspace. I think myspace is more for the younger people, and the drama queens. You might do better getting a facebook and having your sister and family sign up there too. I love it!
BTW, don't give haters the pleasure of upsetting you. You have a beautiful family I'm sure and don't let anyone make you second guess that! I agree, it is very VERY immature for grown women to attack someone's children...but then again, you are dealing with myspacers!
If you have facebook and really liked Rose Flack (sm)
you can join a group on there to support her. It probably will not get her back on, but it would probably really make her feel better to see how many people supported her. So if you do have facebook and liked her, please join and forward an invite to your friends :)
Multiple Generations on Facebook
Both my adult children don't want me as their friend on facebook. I'm not sure if it's because they don't want me seeing their page and all their friends' pages, or if they just find it weird to be friends with their mommy. Either way, I only have a very select group of friends on my facebook page, and I still don't see the point of visiting it much. I'm only in my early 40's, but apparently my long-lost friends either want to stay that way or are too old for Facebook themselves.
But Twitter still totally confuses me. What is it *supposed* to do?
facebook dangerous in my mind sm
Friends invite friends who invite "friends only" until there are people from all over on what is supposed to be my "family space" according to one family member. Never place a full-face picture on there as they can lift it and put it on a phony license, etc. My son had his identity stolen, had to take time out of work, travel to the city where the crime was originated and go to court. My son is Caucasian, the other person was not, it was horrific! I also do not like other family members posting pics of me and my family on there at every family function under their "family and stuff" albums. I am so sick and tired of preaching - nobody listens, they love the attention, they post every move they are making during the day which to me is sooo ridiculous! I feel the same about Twitter and My Space. I vote hands down.
Yes, he can see who has viewed his MySpace
I can't remember exactly what you have to type in, but I get the emails every once in a while that have the directions to see who has visited my profile and how often. I think it says stalker something in the directions.
one has to be 18 to do pages at myspace
myspace is most definitely monitored....
The owner's name is Tom (forgot his last name) and he was on American Idol last week for the American Idol Gives Back Telethon. If any child is using a page at myspace, that child had to tell a big fib on his/her age to get that page.
As a matter of fact, myspace works with AMW (America's Most Wanted) and other police departments looking for predators! What they do not monitor though is the foul language or they apparently allow that (freedom of speech and all that).
I put the bow wow trivia on my myspace!
4 dogs, 4 cats, 2 gerbils and a bird.
I use FB and myspace, have for years....sm
BUT, I have rules for myself:
- I NEVER put last names, EVER of anyone.
- I never put pics up without making it private for only my approved friends.
- If I put pics of friends/family up, I ask their permission first, and usually just say "my cousin" or "my sis" without using their names, if they are my friends, they already know their names and I don't need to put them.
- I don't approve "friends" who are people I don't know. Everyone on my myspace and FB are people I grew up with and got reacquainted, or family, or friends I know in person right now, not random people I've never met.
- I put the state I live in, but not the town. I don't put any other personal info up, and my profile pic isn't a close up pic of my face, its a full body shot with a beach in the background, so you can't even see my face without seeing the full size version of the picture, which is in the photos section, which again you can't see unless you are on my friends list.
I've done this for years, and I haven't had any problems, and I ask family that if they put pics of me up, to either put only my first name, or no name at all and just like my cousin, or my good friend, not my name. I have googled myself for years with various things, my maiden name, city or state I live in, and have never been able to find myself online except one exerpt that was in a web site where I gave them permission to use my name.
Its all in how you handle things, you have to be very aware of the info you share. I also have a yahoo e-mail account that is strictly for registering for sites including FB and myspace, that has NOTHING to do with my own personal e-mail addy, so no one has access to my personal e-mail addy either, just the random one I've made for all registering.
Sadly most people don't think of those things, and I say to each their own, if you don't want to do it, don't do it, and if you want to, be careful and aware.
Try Facebook, Twitter, My Space or those other blogs ..
They are usually on there, at least you'll know he's okay. You must be heartbroken. I have one whose wife plans busy plans every weekend with her mother and tribe, he has no say and he can't see us because he has to go to the in-laws. I wish he'd get a spine! When he does have time, he's blogging. We just wonder where we went wrong. We worked our a$$ off for him and the MIL never worked, so I am considered not so good of a mom by his wife because her mom stayed home and baked cookies, I was in the trenches with the troops. What good did it do me? I was just the working woman, bad in their eyes. I guess my main job was not that of a "good mother" because I worked. I see it as I worked in order to provide a good home for my family and I baked, cooked and cleaned as well, probably not as good, but not good enough. So tired of it! My friends say if they did come over he'd probably have to get nagged in the car afterwards. I wouldn't want that, I love him too much. They do break our hearts sometimes, part of the old saying, "A daughter for the rest of your life; a son until he takes a wife." My heart aches for you, really. I'd find him just to make sure he's okay and if he doesn't respond, it's his choice, at least you tried. Or just see if he's okay and let it go. Watch me get flamed now, that's all I need, I am heartbroken enough and I get flamed enough in person. I don't need that either, worked too hard all my life, for what?
No, but change in behavior might cause me to look for MySpace or other

Okay, ladies. I just joined facebook. My friend wanted me to sm
join, but I can see how this could become a neat place to network with my friends and family members. I'm going to try to get my mom to join. I'm so cheesy. Anyoneo on facebook wanna join me? haha Or add me as their friend..even cheesier LOL
No, it's 60, Look it up on the SS web page, as I did.
Try this web page
It may be a combination of Ctrl-Alt-Right Arrow or Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow but this web page has a few suggestions. He just changed it to a landscape orientation
http://www.tabletquestions.com/windows-xp/31041-screen-orientation.html
Once on the page, you click on
NKORHO STREAM on the top left....but today it doesn't seem to be working so not sure what's up.
I charged $10 per page. nm

right now, that former thread is on page 2
.
TLR look towards the middle of this page
there is a post up above for you!
Oops. Should have read the top of the page.
Thanks again.
U SURE DID INSULT HER DH...read page 2 or 3
On the Oklahoma City page...
Garage Sale is listed in the For Sale column, on the right hand side just after Games and Toys (see link). What city are you trying to list under?
yahoo is my home page too and
it was working fine earlier today. I just tried to get in it this evening and I was able to check my mail but it was in a funky format. I'm guessing it's on their end.
If you go to that PDF link I posted it's page 10
The whole magazine is great to read though. You can subscribe through Lifeway. We get them through our church and they always have inspiring stories like this!
In her original post (page 3)
she says that they did try to tell her at the time and she "chose to believe him" so actually it sounds like she has questioned him about this before.
Can you go ahead and print the alignment page?
The print heads on HP printers are in the ink cartridges, so when you change the ink you've got new print heads to align.
I think they require this alignment before they will work properly, so if you can print the alignment page successfully, the message should then disappear. If not, then check your printer properties in Control Panel for other diagnostics.
how do I access the mental health page?
I just came across it a few seconds ago. Thanks!
TLR-Tyne's cake - see message below on page 2
the cake sounds like so much fun. She is going to be so excited. I wish Cupid and I could celebrate with you and Tyne! How cool is that to have that doggie shop next to you! I want to move where you are! We used to have one at the mall before I moved here in Ohio but they closed it. How did she get so spoiled? I asked myself that all the time about Cupid! LOL! She is lucky to have someone like you!
Are you okay now? Did the guy get the bat? I know exactly how you feel! I was living in NC a few years back and one night a bat flew out of nowhere through the room and Cupid and Lexi (my exboyfriend's dog) booked out of there! Luckily he came home a few minutes after and he did not believe me that there was a bat in the house,and then he went in and said oh wow, there is a bat! he tended to take what I said in one ear and out the other! Let me know how you do! Was Tyne there while you were gone?
Comes up after viewing the blank page with 'done' down below

I got sucked in too! This thread is dominanting almost this whole page!
It really disturbs me too. If the son is such a good kid, why is it so important that he gives his key back? It's all very disturbing to me. I need to stop reading a lot of these huge threads! LOL!
go to bhg.com then down page to Crockery Appliances. Good luck! nm

On the main Craigslist page, look at the upper left-hand - sm
side of the page under the word "Craigslist". It should say "Post to Classifieds". Click on that, and it will take you to a "Create Posting" page. Click on the type of posting you want, and it'll take you to a category list. Click on your choice, and the next page asks you to pick your city. After that, you're asked which local area(s) fit best. You will finall be at the space where you fill in the ad itself.
Hope that helped! I've given away furniture & an old PC on Craigslist...I LOVE Craigslist!
Anyone with a printer deskjet know why it prints a page with part of it dark and part of it light.
It is not printing uniformly.
I tried to go to the web page for the dancing banana but it does not bring up the banana.
