Guys, I decided to use FB only for family affairs 'cause I am not sure how much everyone can see and boy I got 75% of my hubby's family on there.

So please don't be upset. You can reach me here or by e-mail. Thanks.

I have absolutely no idea on how to do it. When I went in there I just saw everyone connected incl. pics.

To Lumpy: If I post here pics of my family it's a different thing; I voluntarily do that. But I'd like to protect other family member identities, I can't mess with that.

You should have started with NOT mentioning here that you were on Facebook if you didn't want to be asked by some members.Period. [Roll Eyes]

I think you need to look into the setting on facebook and how they work.

I think i messaged you on there just asking if you are tl before i saw this thread. It had the same photo as you have on your profile.

Even though I didn't add you as a friend I could still view the people on your friends list. So, nutters can see your family whether you add them or not.

As you seem to be worried that the ES nuts will contact them you need to sort it out asap!!

I would say, I have quite a few eser's on my facebook. I also have my best friends and my sister. As far as I'm aware everyone is perfectly sane and my sister hasn't received anything.

But then I haven't publicly announced that I have a fb account. Maybe, instead of telling the whole of es, you should have just pm'd the people you trust, if any.

I mean.... what did you think would happen if you put this thread up? we'd have a nice convo about fb or people would want to add you?

Lumpy butt, you can't see my profile UNLESS you have my full name (incl. someone forwarded to you) or through e-mail correspondence.

Am I right or not??

Now I know that you sent me a message and it was indeed strange. At this point I wasn't aware that it was you, you didn't give me any hint.

No but thanks I'd rather stay a little bit more out of the limelight. Pics can do harm to a certain degree but I am more concerned about revelation of names and some nutters will have nothing better to do than go into public records or do some other stupid things - just think about what sonomod did to smuckers last summer and you get my point.

Lol, without having a name, address, phone no., workplace etc. it's still anonymous isn't it??

It concerns me that some people obviously can't accept that I won't do FB with them. I changed my mind, end of story. Get over it.

I cant work you out TL not that I want to because I find you very strange you annouce to ES you on FB, woohoo so what, then you tell people to get over it like hello oh I forgot you the queen bee of ES, you then start twitter part 11 begging for people to follow you, you are so inconsistance with what you say and what you do, so ppl following you on rwitter would not know who you are, in fact you are one big joke, I most definitely do not want to be your friend
you are to complicated and love every so often bashing people, you had your snide little remarks at me from time to time seriously get over it i dont want to be your friend now or ever

Just to add to your announcement
I am on Facebook now!!!!
I care, dont think so if you were on the moon
I wouldn't care go and tell some one who cares
This is exactly how rude you are to people
not nice is it, no wonder you got your detractors on here, you love to stir the pot

you're a tad wrong

tl... do i know your full name or email..... nope.

So, UNLESS I was dreaming, your picture came up on the right side of my page as a suggestion. I only messaged you as the photo was the same as on here. Your full profile can not be seen, but your friends can. you need to do your settings, as you seem very worried about your family.

I have no idea what sonomod did to smuckers. i probably wasn't paying attention and didn't note the in's and outs of es. Do tell though, just so i'm aware what to show or not show my friends.

Really I don't feel any need to explain myself over and over again and ridiculously talk through the same BS. And fine, LB, you are right and I was ohhh so wrong. I hope the issue is resolved for you - now go and worry about your own life.

Besides that I have more important things to think about right now like f.e. how to find a comfy and yet affordable beach house in the Los Angeles area like Santa Monica, Hermosa Beach, Long Beach. All these place are right on the ocean which is great but come without a pool (and that's what my kiddos want). Perhaps I have to go with a condo which has a pool facility. Hm, any ideas or recommendations? I might ask for assistance from my Egy friends if they are able to remain in the US.

Read this FYI TL

By Glenn Chapman
San Fransisco - A hacking incident report released on Monday warns there has been a steep rise in attacks at social-networking hotspots, including wildly popular microblogging service Twitter.

Crackers aren't just hunting for victims in the flocks of people at social networks, they're also using Twitter to command "botnet" armies of infected computers, according to Internet security specialists

"Any website with a huge user following is now attracting the bad guys," said Ryan Barnett, director of application security research for Breach Security.

"A lot of Web 2.0 widgets, mashups and the like that users go for make it easy for all these guys to launch attacks."

Facebook became an Internet star after opening its platform to widgets, mini-applications made by outside developers, and now boasts more than 250 million members.

Barnett was among the authors of a Web Hacking Incidents Database Bi-Annual Report that concluded social-networking was the most popular "vertical market" for hackers in the first six months of this year.

The prime targets for attacks in 2008 were government and law enforcement websites, according to the web Hacking Incidents Database.

Researchers analysed computer security incidents worldwide, finding the number of web attacks jumped 30 percent from the same period last year. Crackers targeted social networks in 19 percent of the attacks, according to the report.

"If you look back at 2007 and 2008 reports, criminals who are profit-driven with an end goal of identity theft were targeting e-commerce websites," Barnett said.

"What we started to see last year is that they are continuing to do that but that they have really branched out."

Twitter's appeal to crackers includes an ability to play the odds by routing short, tainted messages to thousands of computer users simultaneously. Unseen malicious code infects machines that haven't been properly updated.

Computer viruses can be hidden in files offered for sharing at Twitter, and in third-party programs that promise to enhance microblogging service capabilities.

"It is abusing some of the Web 2.0 technology," Barnett said.

Arbor Networks security research manager Jose Nazario last week reported uncovering a Twitter account being used as a "command and control" channel to send orders to a "botnet" army of zombie computers.

"I found a botnet that uses Twitter as its command and control structure," Nazario wrote in a blog post at Arbor's website.

"Basically what it does is use the status messages to send out new links to contact, then these contain new commands or executables to download and run. It's an infostealer operation."

A "botnet herder" was essentially using a free Twitter account to "tweet" commands for computers commandeered without owners knowing about it.

The account was being studied by Twitter's security team and was "one of what appeared to be a handful" of command-and-control accounts at the California-based microblogging service, according to Nazario.

"When you think about a lot of these zombies in a botnet, it is easy for them to go to a Twitter feed and download data," Barnett said.

Web browser makers need to work more closely with application developers, and computer owners need to be more vigilant about updating software their machines use to deal with data on the Internet, according to Barnett. - Sapa-AFP

You were the one with the issue to be resolved. I didn't give a flying **** that I could see you're friends list, but you seemed very concerned.

lol worry about my life??? why do I need to worry?

Lol you were the one having a go at first at me (including "what does she have to hide??" [Roll Eyes] ) after I stated I changed my mind and said I am not going to participate with anyone from here and believe it or not - my REAL friends understood.

Get real..... you are just pathetic. And don't worry I am not looking for any apology from someone like you.

Case closed. Yeah definitely for me!!!


And to your little friend Ferret:

Nah I absolutely loved my time there five years ago. We had a marvelous time (incl. got kicked out of two pubs in one night!! [Big Grin] ). Can't wait to be back (most likely meeting up with my other SILs again).

Besides that I have more important things to think about right now like f.e. how to find a comfy and yet affordable beach house in the Los Angeles area like Santa Monica, Hermosa Beach, Long Beach. All these place are right on the ocean which is great but come without a pool (and that's what my kiddos want). Perhaps I have to go with a condo which has a pool facility. Hm, any ideas or recommendations? I might ask for assistance from my Egy friends if they are able to remain in the US.

is this story the same kind as your former fiancee is now a Tunisian ambassador? You don't know his name but he's now an abassador!

Hey everyone in a previous life I was Mikhail Bulgakov's submissive. Wanna see a photo of Mikhail with the paddle he used on me?

that isn't an arab name.

now that you are on FB, does your FB account connect with family members too?

you know your in-laws could start chatting up with friends from ES and see your postings on here.

could make your hubby's retirement a little uncomfortable for you.......
