I don't use my name or DH's name on here, and I don't post his pic or our specific town that we live in. Other than that, I do use my kid's real names and share pics of them. I just don't give too many speicifc details of things that could lead a stalker to me.

Same. I've done one exchange, but even that made me nervous (having someone have my home address). My mom did have a stalker back in the day before the internet, so I'm coming from a place of caution.

I'm so glad that we used up the last Huggies diaper this morning. I ran out of Pampers before the new box came for the month, so I decided to buy Huggies to try again. I didn't like it before and I still don't like it. We had lots if leakage and I've never had these issues with Pampers. I'll gladly pay a little more for a child that doesn't wake up smelling like pee.
I think fatalities ate higher with pits but not the number of bites. I don't have a link handy but it was something I read a few years back. I thought it might habe even been on here.
yeah I'm far more worried about the "bad" cases though. As I said, If a dog bites her sure it sucks but if a dog literally bites her face off then that REALLY sucks. So I'd be more concerned about a situation like that arising.
plus I can only assume if there were more bites by labs or whatever other "gentler" breed, it was an absolute number not % based.
Lot of labs and goldens in the usa.
Obviously like anything else there are outliers, a labrador who WOULD kill a child and what have you. But anything crazy can happen in any area you think of. All I can do personally is look to statistics, see what the most likely dangers to me and my family there are out there and try to avoid those if I can.
That's me.  This is kind of funny to me. Is your name IRL Rainbowchip? Why isn't your user name your real name?
I try to stay somewhat anonymous on here. I've met one probie in 5 years of being on here. Not because I don't like a ton of probies, but I'm a little more private and don't know if I want to mix the 2 worlds.  Its not like I will call them Henry and Jack in front of Probies if we ever meet at a GTG.
I may have less confidence in lurkers not being weirdos. I've shared my city and a bunch of other personal stuff. I'm sure someone could google enough and find me. I'd rather not make that easier for them as my kids have somewhat unique names. H would not be happy and I respect that.
Actually, I am in the process of legally changing my name to Rainbowchip. I love it that much! Kidding. I can understand not wanting people IRL to find you here but I guess I don't understand how saying your kid's name here makes it easier to google you. And what exactly is terrifying about someone googling you. Unless you piss someonr off really bad or something. IDK, I just think that if someone wants to take the time to stalk me or something, more power to them. Wink wink musiclover

It's not about me. It's about H. If someone got mad at me and googled me and found me, I don't trust that they wouldn't also do some shady stuff to H. His career is what I'm conscious of.
But I'll just out my kids names here anyway. Pdq. I'll dd. orangejello is Jack and lemonjello is Henry. See why I am so concerned? Totally identifiable if you google.
Finally a thread about wedding dresses, that I didn't start! I obviously haven't worn my dress yet, but in this current moment I can't imagine getting rid of it...just yet. I may change my mind, but I think I'm going to keep it for future daughters. I don't have any family heirlooms (aside from some furniture and paintings) and I'd like to be able to start a tradition. Images of brides trashing the dress make my palms sweat, and give me palpitations. I could never! I love jarred garlic and will spread it on buttered toast and then sprinkle parm on top...:::drool:::
I've said it before, but I love having a toothless dog and want only toothless dogs in the future. I mean, it's sad that their teeth get to the point where they have to be removed, but if the damage is already done, I'm here to adopt them. lol
My dog's teeth are falling out and we're so excited because he's an asshole. I can't wait for the day he goes to bite me with no teeth! Suckaaa.
I work in Government here. My husband is from a fairly well known family that is involved in politics. I would not be stunned if A went into politics or another visible public position when he grows up. At that point, I'd hate someone to bring up posts where I was complaining about a major blow out or something! I also believe he should have some control/choice over his internet presence when he is old enough to have a say in that matter so I try not to post much about him in places where people can find it.
Yup, I've even see people lose jobs and severely damage their careers because their Facebook pages were, literally, hacked or things were taken out of context in other public forums. Another co-worker was followed by her stalker (an angry customer who knew her unusual first name and place of work, found her from there).
I agree on the internet presence too, which is why I stopped blogging. I had a decent sized readership at one point but just started to feel less comfortable. I think it'll be different for our kids than it was for us (already is!) so that's why I keep using FB and IG but I try to be judicious in what I post. I don't care what others do for their kids though, none of us can predict the future so we're all just taking our best guesses. My only side-eye is public naked or potty pics (a la Selfie).
I never had that many followers/readers, but for a while I had decent views.
Since the kids were born I just let it slide since I have no time, but also don't care to put that much out there anymore. I still have my domain, but am starting to think about letting it lapse and taking the blog down.

I get what you are saying. I think being wary of all strange (to you) dogs is you best bet no matter the size or breed. (And that was the general you of course)
My wedding dress was preserved or whatever and sits in a box. Why I keep it at this point( I have 2 boys), I am not sure? I've donated all of my many Bridesmaids dresses to charity, but that wedidng dress just takes up space. Not sure what I want to do with it. Maybe charity?

But you have this kick ass picture foreverrr. And it's like what up I am a total hot bad ass.Unless your computer crashes and you lose your hard drive and don't have a print copy of it or on the disk. Asshole city- population Regina.

fryjack2 I think having twins is more memorable as well. So the combination of the names might be easier to find? I dunno. Not to say that all kids aren't memorable, and twins are more common, but they are still not the norm, so people seem to take more interest.
I don't use my kids' real names here only because I am sensitive to their privacy. I've been a lot more conscious of what photos I post on social media lately, too.

I know, but I want to be able to look at my dress and hold it and pet it lovingly. My mom showed me some amazing photos a family friend did for her wedding, she's underwater near a coral reef, they are stunning and I still was like "omgggg noooooo, it's getting wet"!!!

Haha my friend did one covered in paint. I love it. It looks so good. It's like nooo the dress, but yeah this is awesome.

Because your 3rd child just may be a girl.
LOL. Even today at DC someone asked when we would have #3 *-).
What are you thinking about #3 at this point in time? You and I can annoy everyone and obsess over it together....
I want three, but really do not if we should. Money is certainly something holding us back, and the un-certainty of our move. Plus, will 3 put us over the edge? Right now N clings to me and DH cna be with A, it is even.
