Protect your puter if you haven't already. Especially if you frequent chat rooms.
Many sick people with evil intent hover like vultures in chats and it is up to you to know what to
to do to protect yourself and your children!
They have many good programs and firewalls to help you fight off those
who would invade your privacy.If you go to www.google.com
and type in Internet Security....you can choose from many.
Here are two...

for Macs
and
Zone Labs: Zone Labs, Internet security product
For PC's.
I have consulted with some of my Tech friends for pointers on protecting you and your loved ones. Never give out names of your children or their schools or any information that would be of help to some sick stalker. This means in e-mails to your friends and relatives as well as in chat. Work out abbreviations on the phone with people you write to...for names and places.
Never mention what hours you will be away from your home.
If a sick person zeros in on you they will patiently collect information to try to intimidate your family and possibly hurt your children. Never EVER put any personal information in your profile or fill out the forms on the net. Your address is none of their business...type in anything..the computer can't read. Lots of xxxx's and zzzzzz's will suffice at times.
If you have already messed up...start over....Get a new account...all new names and then be careful. I think you have all seen the recent shootings by some sick sniper....this is how very sick some people can be...and the internet is crawling with them.
BE AWARE!
So many think that if they chat with someone for a few years they can trust them.
DO NOT BE FOOLISH!
Con artists have abilities to present themselves as totally different people than they really are.
This is what they do...this is their business.
The ones you trust may be your worst enemies.
If you install an internet security system on your computer ....you can see who is trying to invade your privacy and where they live.
Get one...It is worth the investment.
I think you may be very surprised by the results.
If one of your "friends" tries to "sell you something" and asks for your address or phone number...
DO NOT FALL FOR IT!
Anything you need to buy is on the net or at your local Mall. If they don't give you a toll free number to order when you surf the net.. go someplace else...If you order from your phone and don't give them your screen name or unlisted number it will not go on record.
Many people are on the net just to sell you something...they are not really your friends....they just want your money!
You can find anything you need by typing in www.google.com in keyword.
When you get to Google or any other search engine..just type in what you are looking for and choose... but order it by phone.
Always protect your children by LEARNING all about Parental controls and monitoring what they are looking at on the net. Teach them to not trust anyone in chat rooms. If they write to their school friends and relatives tell them not to give out any information that a stalker could use should he somehow invade your computer.
The internet is fun and full of good information..but with any tool you need to take
precautions and learn how to use it properly.
Take the time to teach your children. It could save their lives.
If you think inserts in e-mail are safe..think again...downloads and inserted pictures can both carry invaders.
When they say to download only from people you know...they do NOT mean strangers you have
"gotten to know"
through e-mail or chat rooms!
They mean
PEOPLE YOU KNOW!!
Never keep your banking information in your computer...If you must... use made up names like "Piggy Bank" etc; and code your account numbers...Keep your list of private information on a handy disc and remove it when you are not using it to find addresses and phone numbers...etc;
When in chat and people start asking you questions that are seemingly innocent..be aware of why they are asking and ask them why they want to know.
Do not give an itinerary of where you have been...are going or anything even as innocent as the weather to let them "key" into where you live.
Ask yourself if YOU are interested in knowing these things about them...if the answer is no...then wonder about why they are asking you.
I realize that some people are just "nosy" but why participate with "gossip gatherers"?
I have been on the net for five and one half years and have learned many things...check out my site and you will see.
I hope you will consider the above and that it will help make your childrens and your online experiences the wonderful...magical...charming place that it can be.
The Best of the Best wishes go out to you from me....Kes
QUOTES
Speak kind words and you will hear kind echoes.
Slow down there is no telling what you might miss. Cultivate your sense of humor...Laughter hides in strange places.
Life is not about the breaths you take, but about the moments that take your breath away.
"And then the day came
when the risk to remain tight in a bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom"
Rule:
"I" before "e" except after "c", or sounded as "a" in neighbor and weigh.
(There are over 500 exceptions to that rule)

Defeat is not the worst of failures.
Not to have tried is the true failure.--George E. Woodberry
"Have courage to confront rather than retreat from abusive or threatening situations "
Choose to chance the rapids, dare to dance the tide.
One evening an old Cherokee told his Grandson about a battle that was
going on inside of himself.
He said, "My son, it is between TWO wolves."
"One is evil: Anger, envy,
sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego...
The other is Good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith..."
The Grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his
Grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied,
"The one I feed."
May the Lord bless you and keep you...
May He make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

Attention Website owners.
It is a good idea to have your url written on your pages
as in the example below...then when someone copies
the information to their hard drives
they can easily remember your site url plus refer others to your site. :)
