Privacy is not private

I have been seeing a lot lately about people wanting to protect their privacy!  Privacy is a good thing but what I have learned lately is if you want privacy you will not find it on the internet!  I see a lot of things lately on face book about the changes and how everyone can see everything!  It was mentioned to me (Thanks Bill) that whatever is posted is pretty much general knowledge to everyone who wants to view it!  It really does not matter what your privacy or security settings are!  I thought I was a relatively private person.  Did not go out much; throw my business out there like some people do and put pictures on line of every aspect of my life. No TB this was not directed at you about the pix! Some people think I am trying to hide things, no that’s not it at all, just don’t throw everything out there. LOL, anyway.  Why are we so intrigued with what other people are doing?  I will admit I like to keep up with hearing from my friends from my past, what they are doing; hearing from my distant family in Texas, but enough is enough.  I saw a comment today about what to post and what not to post, it was summed up by someone who pretty much said it all!  She said “it is better to have someone steal  from you than lie to you because you know what has been taken”.  Or don’t write anything you would not want your mom to read!  Those are good words to live by and something I have had to learn.  I have even been called secret squirrel because I remove stuff off my face book page within a day or so. I figured I put it out there and after the person read it I delete it.  We are all very innocent in this area but I am here to tell you there are some crazy people out there.  OH Well I think it is time to remove some stuff from the internet!  Its easy, if you don’t want your business out there don’t post it!  Until next time!
