Where do you draw the line with family, on the internet?
Then again I only use facebook for people to keep in contact with me.....I dont friend request people as friends even if they are....I rarely message people on there....I never really comment on pictures and shit.
Fuck my mom uses facebook more than I do.
The only time I was nervous was when I was in college and people would mention drugs and drug paraphernalia on my wall....but that was when facebook was legit and you actually needed a school address on there so I didnt have too many family members.
I fucking HATE the facebook birthday well wishers tho......if you want to wish me a happy bday do it in person or call me.
Is there a nice way to tell an elderly person they're just too old to drive? No, it's a bad conversation. They will either take your advice or continue on with what they're doing. That is ofcourse until they get themselves in trouble and wish they had taken the advice.
Finally Up and Running. Numbers to Follow. Check my MR

Well, we've already sort of told her, in a half-ass way, that she needs to just stick to email and buying her catalogs and shit, because it's gonna get her in trouble and she didnt listen. Apparently she clicked on something or signed up for some thing that was "alledgedly", "supposedly" supposed to only cost her $4.10 per month but when the first monthly transaction occured, her bank called and asked her if she had approved a $410/month withdraw.....yeah. Luckily, she hasnt been burned yet, but we're afriad that when she does get hit, itll be for all shes worth.
It's just hard to tell your grandma to keep off the internets. "It's not place for an old lady like yourself.."
dude...my mom (she's early 50's) would get 300 spam emails a day cause of her online escapades...once her spam box got to 30,000 in a week dad changed her email...she did it again. She just goes to these OBVIOUS spam sites and gives them her email and stuff.
She once bought some "dog training" vids...was a scam...with a google search I found the $50 online books he sold (which were written in the 80's) for free...from this guys website even.
Don't know what to tell you...it's bad because they are the ones being taken advantage of...we take for granted our experience online and how easy we can spot a scam but they can not. But then again...how do you tell someone that's older than you what to do?
