An alias, in other words. To get around it I have set my privacy levels at "block the universe" so that nobody can find me on a search. If anyone gets to see anything, I have to contact them first. At least I assume that's the case. I have no idea if people who are friends of friends on facebook can also see more than my basic profile, but I hope not.

I joined to keep up on family news etc, but even though I AM a 55 yr old man from Canada, there is no way in heaven or earth I would put private details of my life -- even real public ones like my name -- on something as wide open as facebook.

An old trick! John - yes, things are pretty good here. I can't even say it was a worry. More like an unsatisfied curiosity. christina - she was really nice about it. After I sent her a msg back saying I was so convinced it was her, and sorry to bother, she said it was no problem, nice knowing she has a double with the same name out there. indie - LOL! that's a good reason to let memories stay that way. rain - you may have something there.

I guess it's a good thing you said you were married to make it clear that you weren't trying to hook up with her. The internet and/or facebook has another advantage: total anonymity to shield you from embarassing situations like this. But if this is one of the biggest worries in your life, then your life is pretty good, isn't it? That was pretty funny!

This made me laugh. And there you were sweating bullets while waiting for the reply, eh? Probably for the best that it wasn't her after all. I wonder if she thought it was funny being "poked" by a perfect stranger. :-) Ha! This made me laugh. And there you were sweating bullets while waiting for the reply, eh?
