Okay I couldn't get on amhd today because I 'guess' it was down when I got home from work

So I started a Facebook profile. Thing is I can't find very many people on there.
So if you want to do an invitation for me I'd appreciate it. :D

This is my Myspace, I hardly ever check it though.

MySpace - mom - 54 - Female - The dark side of Moon near The Burgh, Pennsylvania - myspace.com/formyfourangels (http://www.myspace.com/formyfourangels)


Thanks

I went back to my old site help.com
I makes me appreciate this one so much more the navigation is irritating and the posts are filled with begging for money and suicides you can only read so much?
Glad its back up
Was that hijacking?

Nah I like to know what some good sites are and what ones to avoid.

I have purposely stayed away from the myspace/facebooks so I know nothing of them
It seems like a lot of people use them to HOOK up is it good way to stay in touch w/friends etc
What better about it than a email?

I added you :)

I thought the same as you zippit until I actually joined a month or so ago. Now you can't get me away from it.
It's great, you can see what your friends are up to, it's a lot faster and easier than an e-mail and the games on there are addctive haha

AMHD has been up and down all day, I keep getting database errors and such :(

I hope they aren't changing the layout again :(

It seems boring to me so far but I only have 2 people added. It seems sort of hard to find people. I can't figure out how to narrow looking for people down. Like if you want to find Ann Smith it isn't letting me narrow it down to location or anything...

... I'll have to go add you now

BRB

Can you add me again.
I don't see a request/add thing from you at all.

I hope I figure the site out :(

When you go to Facebook just click on the "home" button at the top.

Then to the right of the screen it will have your requests waiting to be confirmed :)

P.S. If my posts are missing the letter "i" a lot lately my silly keyboard has decided it is only going to type that letter half the time "rolleyes:

I think I may have accidentally clicked it delete because I had all these profile pages popping up and the pages kept changing,
I don't see it on the home page or the mail page or anywhere.

Sorry

Thanks

I will keep checking

Got it

Thanks :D

Cool beans :D

This is a good way to learn member's real names!

When you compare the two sites, Myspace is more of a singles bar, while Facebook is more like a family picnic. I'm on Facebook, and nearly all of my contacts are family members and my middle-aged pals.

Yeah I think it started the other way around. I like Myspace because you can be more creative with your page.

I've never had a MySpace page.

I have both family and friends on Facebook, I can't believe the amount of old school friends I have found on there, it was great!

I like the comparison of a singles bar vs a family picnic, nice :D

Yeah that is what I am really liking about it.

Just to put it out there... if any of you that are on my Facebook and you share who I am with any member here... I will accept that we will no longer be friends... I expect you to feel the same way if I ever even thought about it.
I say this with all the love in my heart... but some people are just not who you think they are. They just aren't. There are only certain people that I can trust here... you know who you are. Thanks. HUGS!
BE CAREFUL! I have already learned my lesson.

Thanks Starty, don't worry I'm the same.

I know a few peoples real names on here but I would never, ever say what they are on the public forum.

I've said my first name on here before but you aren't finding out my last :p

...if any of you that are on my facebook and you share who I am with any member here....I will accept that we will no longer be friends...I expect you to feel the same way if I ever even thought about it.
Hey starty, you got it right, That was my point in my post above yours. You basically give you AMHD anonymity by friending the same people on FB. If you are cool with that's OK... I'm not.

I have a few, very few, friends from AMHD on my Facebook, but like Starty and NK, I still like a little bit of anonymity.

This is so true, anonymity being the word here.

Oh well
I see why I gave up trying to have friends in my life. Everybody likes sticking to themselves.

TOO discouraging for me!

I guess I am better of playing another 200 games of bejeweled.

Sorry for asking

You need to make the distinction between the internet and real life. In real life you get to meet the people who may be your friends, you see the non-verbal cues and the way they interact with others. On the internet people can put on personas that aren't really their true identity; the problem here is that their true identity can be toxic. In real life you would be able to spot this early on, not so with internet 'friends'.

I know it just hit me when starby died and I thought how close everybody seemed to be here and all

I'm all for it, I mean yeah some people don't like conversing outside of this board and that's perfectly fine, I can certainly respect that, there is a fine line that people are either wary of or just don't want to cross when it comes from crossing from message board to real life.

Personally though, I have a few friends on here that I love chatting to in e-mails and on Facebook.
I just wish I lived closer so I could chat on the phone.

And N0Help, you completely whooped my butt in bejewelled, I can't get anywhere near your score haha

Yeah exactly
I have met more characters and crazys in real life than on the internet for real!

I guess I just get lonely when I can't go any where, do anything or meet people because I only am at work and at home. Then when I rarely do get out every body is with their own little groups or cliques.

Scratch the work part for me.
It's just me and my partner at home, he goes to work, I sit on my own, we only have one car which he has to take so interaction is hard at the moment.
My friends all work so I can't see them through the week, only on the odd weekend when they are not busy doing something else...

I have a new pet peeve: People who have a job that you would kill for but all they do is whinge, complain and call in sick :rolleyes:
I swear I am going to smack that girl silly one day soon!

Don't be sorry, and for sure you are a big part of a family here. BUT it is an internet fam and as you know some of them are closer to you than others, so you tend to trust them a little more. I think the longer one is online, the less they become "scared" of who you may be really talking to!

See I view it another way - the more a person is online the more it pulls them away from real life interpersonal relationships. I do 85% on my posting here from work while I wait for other web stuff to update.

I added you too!

Agreed, that is why I said when you are online too much, it gives you a sense that others may be just like you, or safe to say the least;) Through this whole time, you have pretty much remained NeedKarma... I have made a few let my info go mistakes... learned my lesson;)

Hey start, I've been doing this web stuff since it's infancy, this is my specialty, well that and detecting bullcrap. :) Yea I may be a little more cautious than others but it serves me well.

You have done well. Detect away... Good job! PS. Let me know what you find;)

I added you... my initials are C C, FYI

Oh! So that was you NH! I saw your request, then went who the hell was that? *put in 'other friends' group. Lol! I'll move you now :D

I added you...my real name is C C, FYI

This is exactly what I am talking about... dont you worry that some weirdo is going to come and git you? Sounds funny, but its true... and it is not funny... believe me.

There are a MILLION C C's around... that also isn't my full name either.

Hey start, I've been doing this web stuff since it's infancy, this is my specialty, well that and detecting bullcrap. :) Yea I may be a little more cautious than others but it serves me well.

Because you warned me when I posted & removed my pic in the picture thread here, I am left forever wondering if someone copied it and when will it turn up! :eek:

Kidding:D,but being overly cautious around the net is how I like it.Less personal info known the better.

Even on Facebook most people wouldn't know much personal things from looking at my profile,unless I personally told them. :p

No one would want my pic other than to throw darts at.
And if they want to steal my ID then they will be the sorriest broke people in the world.

YOu shouldn't say such things... Nohelp, you are a great help to some people here... AND I think that is amazing;)

Even on Facebook most people wouldn't know much personal things from looking at my profile,unless I personally told them. :pBut that's how I use Facebook, only people I know and see in real life are friended. They already know that personal stuff about me. We just get to see updates on each others' lives in a more convenient way.

And if they want to steal my ID then they will be the sorriest broke people in the world.

It isn't JUST identity theft that I worry about. It is finding where you are... stalking you... finding you and then who knows what. OR even the people you know they can do that to... crazy people are out there... yes, yes there are!

N0help4u, you may want to work on your self-esteem issues though.

YOu shouldnt say such things...Nohelp, you are a great help to some people here....AND I think that is amazing;)

I agree starty :cool:

It isn't JUST identity theft that i worry about. It is finding where you are....stalking you....finding you and then who knows what. OR even the people you know they can do that to....crazy people are out there....yes, yes there are!

Yeah but, who would be crazy enough to post their address and phone number on a public site like Facebook...

I tell people my number if I trust them but just by adding someone as a friend doesn't mean they can automatically access all your darkest secrets and information...

All people see on mine is my e-mail (which is a hotmail account anyway) and my silly status updates.

I can understand why people don't like giving their name etc out like yourself and needkarma, that's fine, but as I said, it really doesn't bother me.
Yeah there are some creeps out there but if you spend all your time worrying about who is going to try and steal your identity today or start stalking you then you had better stop using credit cards and leaving your house.

On Facebook no-one can follow me home, in real life they can!

That's right Shazzy. Anyway, one can hide all the personal details from the other friends (though I don't see the point of putting them on facebook), create groups in their friends to act as a sort of filter.

I'll take my Facebook account as example. I only have my name, email address, and date of birth on it, no more. What can other people really do with that? I wonder...

Perhaps only 'make' fun of one's 'late age' and being on a supposed 'teen site', I don't see anything that could be done...

Concerning your status, you can 'share' things that aren't that important, that's simple.

Yeah that's a good point Unky.
I haven't bothered to do it but you can put different 'friends' into different groups and then choose which groups view certain information, photos etc...

Yes, that was exactly my point. :)

I suppose I was so screwed that it makes me wonder why others don't think they will get screwed... and you guys are having a mindset that... "it can"t happen to me"

YOu guys are going to do what you want, and I am fine with that. I just wish you to be careful while doing it... cause I care;) Lots of love!

Nah we are just not as silly as you... jokes, jokes :p

I do try to be careful, get to know people before I tell them anything private, I just need to be popular :p

I don't know why I am into some depression thing so don't mind me,
I ignore a lot of things so they don't get to me and then (now) it is all getting to me.

Usually my song to describe me is Drops Of Juniper

But lately its been I started a joke.

*hugs* N0help

What's bothering you?
You shouldn't keep things bottled up, you need to vent somehow whether it be talking about it or screaming into a pillow, you've got to let the emotion out somehow.

I'm with you Shazzy, keeping everything inside is like empowering a bomb with a timer... =/

I am starting to feel better today a little bit.
I think it is just that not working or having any money through the summer had me feeling like I couldn't and didn't want to do anything.
Then I was depressed for not accomplishing a thing this summer. It really started when my boyfriend got put in jail for missing a court date. The whole thing doesn't make any sense to me how they can be keeping him when people who do commit crimes walk out of jail within a week or two.
By next week I should have my first pay back and I can get caught up then I know I'll feel better.
