OT: Share button
Darlene Darlin'.....we probably wouldn't have evdn noticed....I did not notice.....that Share button without your heads up....Thanks , I agree that nothing is private, BUT let's not be so casual about our info. I like the idea of a private group.....I would be lovely to feel a little comfy talking to friends.

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle"
I have always been concerned about people being too free with personal information on the internet.
I do not use my real name online and certainly do not publish my address, phone etc.
It is too dangerous - not only because of ex-spouses, and the like, but also because identity theft is an increasing problem.
Of course, that can happen online or not, but the less openings for that, the better.
On that note, did you know that there are now small electronic gadgets that can plug into computers that are attached to cash registers to "skim" credit or debit card information?
I found that out the hard way, not online, but buying a dress at Nordstroms.
Soon after that someone used my card info (I still had my card) and bought airline tickets in Dublin, Ireland and ferry trips in the Canary Islands.
The police told me another easy place for identity theft is restaurants - you give your debit card to the waiter who takes it out of your view. Easy.
I see daughter, nieces and nephews use Facebook without giving it a second thought, and posting very personal information. I think that is foolish, but then I'm just an old grandma.
