facebook dangerous in my mind sm
Posted By: no name on 2009-04-19
In Reply to: I use it. I have everything private so only friends - 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.

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

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?
I like Facebook better, had a myspace page - sm
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.
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?
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
We never go anywhere either. too dangerous!
my sympathies about your hubby :(
Yes, very dangerous...sm
I haven't even thought about getting her a helmet yet because she's only 9 months old. I didn't realize I would have to worry about her being on anything this dangerous already! It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. My brother-in-law has a 15-month-old who he takes on the riding lawnmower with him while he's mowing the lawn, and they don't understand why I need to have someone watch my daughter while I'm mowing the lawn! I know they think I'm overprotective, but that's ok I guess.
oh how I know - they are the most dangerous gang
most dangerous gang here in America - the world has become a very dangerous place....all some of us wanted was peace and love an all we got was guns, terrorism, gangs, death, and more destruction!
makes me VERY ILL..........
Oh Yea I SURE HAVE!! Equally as DANGEROUS!!
Why trampolines are dangerous ...
New hazard of trampolines discovered in Wisconsin.
And I don’t think it is dangerous just to travel, sm
If I had waited for a Starbuck I might never had a trip before. Believe it or not, never remember seeing 1 anywhere I traveled. Your response is strange.
Speaking of dangerous LIARS
Have you made note of the people running OUR country into the ground - while killing with abandon in Iraq, etc., ad nauseam?
Banging his head could be dangerous...
My son did that a couple of times when he was about 3, and I was telling a guy at work about it. He said his girlfriend's son did that all the time and actually got brain damage from it, which really freaked me out. The next time he did it I just got down on my knees right in his face and told him verrrry seriously that he could really hurt himself doing that and let him know it was unacceptable. He must have sensed something in my tone, because he's never done it since!
It sounds like he just needs to figure out a better way to manage his anger. Maybe buy a book about how to help kids deal with outbursts or get him a couple of counseling sessions? Does he ever express what is making him so mad verbally to you so that he can vent? It sounds like he may just need to get it all out, and instead of doing it in a healthy way he hurts himself, so maybe that anger could just be redirected.
Maybe you could also explain to him that everybody learns new stuff. Tell him if he doesn't let people teach him he will only be as smart as a 5-year-old his whole life! Tell him he's smart for a 5-year-old but no one is going to want to hire someone with a kindergarten education! I don't know if he will understand those exact words, but just try to get the point across to him that even adults learn new things every day and that's what makes us smarter. Tell him to at least watch the way you do it and consider doing it your way. Maybe if he knows he has a choice to do it your way or his way he will feel better. Kids want choices too, I guess. I don't know for sure, so like I said - I would try to find a book on the subject too or something. Good luck! Before I had kids I had no idea how smart and sly you have to be to constantly figure them out!
Some people are just not aware how dangerous
it is. I tried to talk with my sister-in-law about her husband (the half-brother of my husband). She has worked in the medical field. I was so sorry my words not heeded. I have been around him, seen him falling asleep just sitting down, the wreck, even out of town with my husband 1 night my DH told me about his horrible snoring, he is overweight but diabetic too and does not pay much attention to that. You cannot help where they don’t want it.
I think it is a dangerous thing to do for several reasons.
First, it shows the employer that the employee is not responsible with their finances. Creates a feeling of always desperate and can never get enough.
Secondly, how can one ever possibly try to hold to a budget with constant borrowing from the future? You can never, ever borrow your way out of debt.
Sad.
Borax washing powder is not dangerous.....
Borax sold in the supermarkets for laundry washing and other uses is not poisonous to the public. However, REAL boric acid is......just be careful with it.......that's all.....regarding pets and people.......
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is dangerous, not aspirin
Patti is right - aspirin can safely be given to dogs. It's Tylenol (acetaminophen) that is dangerous to give to dogs, and I believe also to cats. (Anyone with doubts, please call the nearest veterinarian, but I know several vets have told me so, I've had probably 20 dogs in my life, and though I love cats, I'm allergic to them  ) The animal livers can't handle Tylenol like human livers (and it's also very dangerous to our livers in overdoses) Chocolate is also bad for dogs, by the way.
the best plan is lifestyle change, not some dangerous
like the previous poster said, the weight will come back when you stop. I have kept a food diary and counted calories and now am down to 108 lbs. Creating a calorie deficit is the only safe way to lose weight.
Severe warning about dangerous dog-toys!!
I came across this blog today on Craigslist: http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/
And if you have a dog, it's a must-see. It details what happened to a dog that was severely injured by a dog toy called a "Pimple Ball" made by Four Paws, Inc. The dog ended up losing his tongue, and the pain he had to endure was excruciating.
The dog's owner relates that the Four Paws Co. hasn't owned up to the fact that its toy is dangerous, and he's calling for a international boycott of Four Paws, Inc. After watching his video links of his poor dog's suffering, even though I have cats, I plan to be sure I don't purchase ANYTHING from this company, andhopefully you won't either.
Just saw a report on news where they listed it as a dangerous drug
apparently caused something that looked like malignant polyps in the colon but other than that, people told not to take it on a first date, not good idea and you should maybe, starting to take for first time, wear dark pants. I guess that is so the orange diarrhea won't show through so much.
The difference is...the doctor is working in dangerous territory (sm)
on a person who needs help. The people are having surgery or in the hospital because they need help. The accidental gun deaths are completely unnecessary.
Cell phones - How dangerous is their long-term use?
Hoax or not, the long-term safety of cell phones is still very much in question! They are not innocuous, and emit harmful electromagnetic radiation in varying amounts. Just as policemen's radar guns laid in their laps have caused testicular cancer, so the incidence of brain tumors from cell phone usage has also been on the rise.
That very thing happened to my stepdad, a brain tumor & aneurysm right above his right ear, where he holds his cordless phone constantly. Cell phone signals decrease fertility of humans & animals alike, & Swedish researchers have proven that they are ESPECIALLY damaging to the brains of children! Cell phone-using kids are FIVE times more likely to get brain cancer. I gave mine up over 5 years ago & will never use another one on a routine basis. This issue is being covered up, but is certain to become the controversy of the 21st century, just as tobacco was in the 20th century.
Please be aware that St. John's wort with any SSRI or MAOI can be dangerous - sm
...unless your physician is aware that you're using it in addition to your Rx meds. (Other things, like 5-HTP, if I'm not mistaken) can have similar potentially dangerous side effects in combination with Rx antidepressants. Just sayin' ....
If you don't mind me asking, did you take the
mega-B vitamin pill every day or just when you felt the symptoms? My former OB/GYN basically dismissed me as "it is part of life", but she did suggest vitamin B, but I don't remember if it was every day or not.... Thanks for listening.... By the way, I think my Mom had PMS too but never sought attention. I find out later on down the line not too long ago that she also suffered from severe anxiety. She had high blood pressure as well, which I do not have. But I think of all the times as a child how she would be so moody, ya' know.... LOL.... makes more sense now.
would you mind
what you think I could do to make it better for her... I'm not referring to the party.... just in general. It weighs on me. Thank you.
Sorry you had to deal with that growing up. That had to be incredibly hard.
I can do about anything I put my mind to...
The waterfall idea I had was obviously to make my own, but creating out of pottery, or a like substance and having it fired. However, I've no experience and tho I am keenly interested, I am afraid it would be quite time consuming. I would like to propose before Christmas.
I was always of the mind that
Happy Holidays encompassed everything from Thanksgiving through January. It was just a more efficient way of noting good tidings. It is certainly easier than saying, "Happy Thanksgiving and merry/joyous religious and/or cultural holiday and/observance of your choice and Happy New Year.
Well first keep in mind that everything changes....(sm)
Nothing stays the same. I remember at one point in my life feeling like I was at the lowest point possible... like no one in the world cared. I remember sitting in my room thinking it would be better if I just died. Then my sister called and told me that she was thinking about killing herself. I talked to her for an hour about all the people who would be hurt and devastated if she did. All the things she had to live for and how you never know what the future holds. By the time I finished talking to her I felt so much better. About six months later, my life was going great and I was so much happier, I thought back to the moment when I had sat in my room wishing to die and I realized that we have to always understand that a moment is just that...a fleeting moment. Nothing stays the same. You never ever know how things are going to go. You do have people who love you and count on you...your daughter and your granddaughter...it was a good decision you made not to exchange gifts with your daughter when you are in debt. Christmas is not about getting gifts anyway...it is about giving and loving others...and you did just that by sacrificing your own gifts to be sure your granddaughter had a good Christmas!! You should feel really good about that. Also, you said you have avoided people...reach out and reconnect with your old friends..you say you didn't even get a card...did they get one from you? Did you call them? Go to a debt counselling service and get help with your credit card issue. Keep looking for better jobs and hang onto your less than great ones in the meantime. Just from your post I can see you have much to be thankful for. You are obviously intelligent from the way you type, you have family members, you have 2 jobs (many people have none), you have friends whose opinion you valued at one time enough to avoid them over being ashamed. Everyone has something at some point in their life that they are not happy about or proud of...everyone comes into hard times at some point in their life. Reach out!!! Take some steps to improve your life. It is all so within your reach!
Do you mind if I ask
how your kids like your b/f and if they are comfortable around him. I have so much anxiety about that and that is one of reasons I choose not to date. How did you bring your b/f into their lives?
What if it is on her mind?
I think about ice cream all the time! Although, I suppose it is a problem. :)
Don't mind really
You know..It's funny. I really don't mind doing it. I kinda like the social aspect of it and being able to feel like I'm doing something other than just production work. But, I really would like to get some compensation for it as well. How should I go about it? My boss and I get along VERY well and we see eye to eye on most things, but I've just never been very good at asking for things.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
I did not say he was in his right mind- sm
it is never right, just saying maybe childbirth, etc. made him be *tupid- who knows, who cares at this point. No need for you to be a total witch about it. I had not read all the posting when I posted, what is your excuse? I am more concerned about her current children. If he is a pedophile she needs to see if he had done anything with her/their own kids.
Only in your mind (nm)
.
Mind your own
I doubt that getting the stick is so heinous, or the child wouldn't have chosen it. What the child did was deliberately deceptive, which is really one of the worst offenses. When a child believes he is so clever he can outwit the parent, there is trouble brewing.
Like others have said, DHS is not the best solution and once you get them involved, you can't un-ring that bell. If you see the child with marks on him or limping from injuries, that's different. As it is, stay out of it.
A J Cowling and OJ come to mind........
Oh yeah I did watch it - and still felt *inundated* - it became prime time TV.....it preempted many TV shows.....
And as far as you not thinking he did the deed - you're entitled to your opinion - just as we all are. I believe he did it and it's as simple as that, TO ME. To me, he HAS the legs - legs that were/ are known for running!!
Have a great Sunday...........
I think she should mind her own business - NM

I actually dont mind others using....
a cell phone if I am in a store as long as it is not to argue with family etc. My son has one and sometimes he will use it in a store to call me and ask me something regarding an item I asked to grab for me while there etc. I have also heard husbands talking to their partners asking questions regarding food shopping while in an isle. That doesnt seem to bother me at all..
How do you quiet your mind
My mind just always races and I can't sleep. I am not good at meditating, can't take meds or herbal supplements because of health issues. any suggestions?
Big DollHouse comes to mind!...

Brings to mind
Michael Jackson's little court room dramatics- hobbling into court in his PJs acting like he was at deaths door.
Do they really think the judge is gonna go "ohhh, poor thing, I can't send them to jail if they don't feel well!" Gimme a break!
Paris's "medical condition" is obviously not so severe that it kept her from going out and getting drunk and driving.
And please, I had a friend who had full blown AIDS and was still required to serve most of his sentence.
Okay, losing my mind. I now see it! Thanks for the help. nm
!
That's a weight off your mind!
Glad it was just a contact allergy to something avoidable.
I can't touch roses myself.
Okay, I don't mind paying
to make sure everything is in order! Thanks for all the advice!
Would you mind sharing?
My mom used to always keep a copy of The Pill Book which had pics of medications as well as info about them. When my son and my niece were little, they would play doctor (REAL doctor, not the other kind! LOL) and use The Pill Book to prescribe things for each other.
with peace of mind 24/7 nm
