I don’t so much care who reads my blog. Most of it’s just photographs, and I haven’t written anything on it that I wouldn’t stand behind. But it’s a little unnerving when you realize that hey! That’s my full name! And no I DO NOT want you sharing that piece of information with my contact list, if I want them to know it I’ll effin’ TELL them MYSELF. Yoohoo recently pulled this stunt when I accidentally activated a profile I didn’t intend to. Made first AND last name required fields in the web form. But that didn’t stop me from changing the last name — and then hiding the profile. And Yoohoo has the temerity to say “Hiding your profile will make it unavailable to your contacts, are you sure you want to proceed?” And I say to the screen (yes, out loud) “Well it damned well better make it unavailable because I wasn’t planning to make that information public in the first place. Idiot!” But I still have to wonder how many people might have gotten that bit of data before I caught it.

I guess the point is that I don’t so much care who knows what about me. So if my online friends discover my real world identity or my real world friends discover my online identity I’m probably okay with that. But when GoogleHoo makes it their business to broadcast this kind of information without informing me I get pissed.

Oh babe, you DO NOT want to know what happened to me. Is why I use fake everything now. No pictures, not my kids real names. It’s tiring honestly.

I hope to go they keep their mouth shut for you.

MY mother and basically anyone else in this world I wouldn’t want to read my blog recently found it. Hence my lack of posting anything remotely amusing lately or posting at all. Good luck with this. I’m currently debating closing down shop and starting all over.

I’m so sorry that one person is enough of a jackass to tell everyone else. That sucks.

I am personally always amazed at the people who I tell to read my blog (who are allegedly close to me) who “never get around to it.” I’m like, hey, it’s all there, baby, read away…but they are too lazy/uninterested/busy/whatever to actually go and read.

Ha! Ya, that would be nice. I don’t know that the universe is big enough for all us aspiring bloggers looking for the next big ticket.

You’ve been through so much with your blog coming out. I can’t even imagine. I suppose I should just count my blessings….
