I agree too.. someone should be able to take care of himself and willing to share support both emotionally and financially with the someone they want to share their life with... I understand there are times when some can be down on their luck... but it shouldn't be drawn out to the point where they make excuses NOT to do what would be right.
I think most of us are sincere in our profiles, what we are looking for... I won't say there aren't any gold diggers out there, and I won't say there aren't any that aren't sincere... but I think a good percentage of us are. As far as money.. I too have my own personal reasons why I don't put it down. Because I too think that's personal. Let's just say I'm financially secure. If someone is looking for money, they are not looking for a relationship.
Know in your hear, myself and others will be praying for you... I won't say don't be afraid or nervous, because sometimes we just can't help it... but when you walk into that court room, stand tall, look confident and don't let HIM see you are afraid.
I didn't notice you disrespecting anyone.. (?) Joking around is alright. Now theres ONE member (who I won't mention) that should apologize but I don't think he won't... Not the type. He's too "full" of himself.
Hate to ask? How long will they keep him in prison? Even if he doesn't make bail.. if anything I just hope this doesn't make it worse, when he gets out if you know what I mean... PLEASE, if I were you... I'd leave town for a while.
Oh GOD!! GET OUT OF THERE... !!! PLEASE!!! I didn't go thru exactly the same thing but close... mine was a controlling, manipulative jerk too.. but I never feared for my life... Do you have any family, etc? Even if they are not close by... that you can stay with? At least temporarily? I hate to say a shelter, but if he does anything else, tries to break in, etc... besides just phone calls... (it could be just "talk") GO TO A SHELTER.. I don't have to tell you about women in similar situations... you can read about them in the paper... please don't wind up another statistic...!!! Keep us posted, ok?
yep, if you have a firewall that prevents unused ports being opened you're safe. But if you don't, you're at risk. One way of telling is to go into whatever program your firewall is and looking into it.. For example.. if you have Norton, look into "Firewall" under Antivirus "Reports", if you have McAfee or AOL privacy wall, open it and you will see how many try to "ping" your computer looking for open ports... scary, I know.. but if you have a firewall preventing this, you can consider yourself somewhat "safe". That's why so many are victims of identity theft... not something to get paranoid about, but just make sure you have a good firewall protection, 'sall...
whew.. looks like he's gone.. I hated doing that.. I never, ever reported anyone but I just couldn't help it after finding that he was actually "following" me here. checked thru his profile and it showed it, wow!!!
Well, anyway... yes it is safe but I'm serious with the open ports though... heard from someone that received an IM and then noticed her computer being "hacked" and credit card info stolen... just be careful, s'all. And despite what that "guy" said, you can use parental blocks from kids accessing anything you don't want them to by simply creating a screen name with a password you only know.
I just reported you.. sorry but I noticed you visited every one of my posts... you sound like some kind of nutcase... farewell dear.. I'll be praying for you though.. taught to love thy enemies...
Okay, so now that we were so disturbingly interrupted... lets stick to the subject AT HAND... repeating topic thread:
One solution... since most of us have web cams now.. request a person to send a live web cam thru Im's.. just be careful, some hackers take advantage of open ports... That'll prove that they are who they say they are...
adding on... I would be more afraid of hackers taking advantage of open ports than anything else... (My kid has his own computer anyhow, I know, spoiled-not allowed to access the internet) So make sure you have a firewall that prevents anyone trying to invade an open port....
don't be afraid, you can set a block depending on what ISP you have... AOL has parental blocks as most others do, and Yahoo.com seems to be the most easiest to figure the CAM. My Cam cost about 30 dollars, very easy to use too. You can also set a password on your sign in screen so that only YOU can access it... and create another screen name for your kids.
One solution... since most of us have web cams now.. request a person to send a live web cam thru Im's.. just be careful, some hackers take advantage of open ports... That'll prove that they are who they say they are...
Well, one solution is if you're really interested in someone but still not sure if their photos match... request them to show you a "web cam" thru an IM... Almost everyone has one now... I have one.. Just be careful because there are hackers that can "hack" open ports when you use a cam... That's proof enough.
