I have been talking to my daughter a lot recently about friendships. I believe you should be yourself around a friend and true friends never judge you, but just accept you the way you are.
I have also been thinking about people here that I see of as friends have been talking to them for about a year, and I would trust them not to repeat some personal things I have told them.
I only have 3 people here I would treat that way.
When talking to them on this subject, one said they are only words on a page.
The other said he doesn't care what people think of him, I then said I would only feel upset if someone here I see as a friend took something I said the wrong way.
I do believe a lot of people don't really see us as real people with real feelings at times.
But I hope the couple of friends I feel I have made see me as a real person, as I see them as such.
What to you means friendship?
Can you make friends in cyber space?
Can anyone here really be trusted?
Have you made friends in cyber and then been let down?
Am I just being naïve in thinking people in cyber can really be a friend?
What are your thoughts and feelings about this?
For a basis intro with what has gone wrong in the banking system read this!
I found it funny but hits the nail on the head!
How about this one!
Am I showing my age?
Muttley you snickering floppy eared hound,
When courage is needed, you're never around!
Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest,
Should be there for bungling at which you are best!
So, Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon,
Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon,
Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon
Stop that Pigeon How ?
Nab him - jab him - tab him - grab him,
Stop that pigeon now!
You silly, stop sneaking it's not worth the chance,
For you'll be returned by the seat of your pants!
And Clunk, you invent me a Thingamybob,
That catches that pigeon or I lose my job!
So, Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon,
Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon,
Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon
Stop that Pigeon How ?
Nab him - jab him - tab him - grab him,
Stop that pigeon now

My twins are 11 and I have told them all the things to look out for, not to add anyone that they do not know to msn etc.
It wasn’t until they saw a programme that I decided to let my children watch about a girl of 14 that was groomed on the internet and was told never to tell her parents that my children understood exactly why I look over their shoulder ask who they are talking to etc This girl later met up with the guy and was killed, the man said he was 15 and she thought it was a boyfriend.
I believe we should never sit back and expect our children to see all the risks, when as an adult we are still learning some of the ways ourselves.
All the parents I saw on this programme thought it was harmless, that their children were just chatting to friends, that was what the children thought.
I have heard many stories now where internet is used by children for things that parents had no idea over.
Should children have open access to pc's and the internet?
I for one monitor not all the time I must say what my children are doing on the pc.
I have all their login details for msn and go into their accounts to see whos around, I watch over their shoulders who they are talking to. My son is 17 and I have twins of 11, I think children are so naive about the workings of the internet that I feel I need to keep a close watch.
I have gone into my sons account once when he was late home and his mobile was switched off. He wasn’t happy but I said next time you will have your phone on then.
I don't think we can be too safe where our children are concerned can we?
What are others opinions?
What measures do you take?
I have for the last few years been tracing my family history, I have found some fascinating facts and it made me explore more as I traced one family line back to the early 1800’s and the other line back to the late 1600’s what I found was that I am part of French Huguenots. After tracing the tree and linking up the information it gave me a sense of belonging.
Have you every tried to trace yours?
Are you interesting in knowing where you come from?
Or are you worried you might find something you wish you never had?
It is a hard one to explain.
I think is a feeling deep within, how it got there I don’t know. But is the ability to way up a situation, the feeling in the gut to be in tune with the mind and body.
My gut reaction has told me a lot in life and very rarely lets me down.
I knew I was going to marry my hubby as soon as I saw him, I knew I was having twins and told everyone at 8 weeks of pregnancy. Some would say it was a premonition, It was just an overwhelming feeling of knowing.
I feel some have a strong gut reaction and others don’t, I think it is about feeling and knowing what the signs are.
I think we all have it some use it better than others.
It is a natural immediate instinct.
I know what I mean but just so hard to put into words.
Hope you are ok!
:inlove:
