#4 About Internet Safety

Well...What can I say? I've been using the Internet for over 10 years now...since I was 18...Wow...That makes me feel old.

Anyway, the Internet has totally changed nowadays...I remember when I was 20 years old, I used to get on different chat rooms (not going to list names), and was able to meet many interesting people through there. I found lots of great friends via chat rooms and instant messaging. That was 10 years ago. Today you can't go to any chat room w/out seeing the typical "Wanna see my naked photos - Click Here!". I swear, the Internet was not invented for this. All the junk that we used to only see out in the real world, is now on the web.

It was bound to happen, the Internet has become another "world" in its own kind of way. We come out here and for some reason our true persona is filtered through the keyboard. I love it, and hate it at the same time.

My motto on net safety has always been "What can't get me in trouble in the real world won't get me in trouble online". With that said, don't go to any places where you're going to find trouble. Use common sense, if someone walked up to your door and asked your for your social security number, would you just give it to them? Of course not, you would try to find out who this person was, who they worked for, how was the information going to be used, etc. Use the same judgment online. Simple as that.

# 3 - Welcome to my blog

Well people, our attendance is starting to get better here at Freeman. I'm guessing the summer heat, Cabo vacations, fishing trips, and just total laziness is finally all gone once our kids are back to school.

When do you have your best attendance rate?

Fall, Winter, Spring, or the HOT HOUSTON SUMMERTIME!!!
