on line safety 101
on line safety 101 Good afternoon, I hope this finds you with that secret smile on your face. This is my last week off work wit the knee replacement stuff going on. I am healing well from throwing myself down off the stairs and hanging on that electric meter. I am taking off next weekend as well, since it is my last weekend off before i start back to work. I would hope we all have certain things we do when meeting someone in person on-line. Don't get me wrong, I have did some pretty stupid things when I first started on-line, but I am a quick learner. By the grace of God those stupid things did not lead to any issues I could not handle. Safety 101 - Meet n greets After I have met someone on line, messaged, texted, and talked on the phone and have decided to meet, there are a couple steps I take. Someone, normally my friend Sharon, or even my , knows I have a meet and greet. I plan the meet and greet in a public place. My places of choice are preferably a place that serves beer. So, it's either a bar or restaurant. I have met in places like Waffle House, Mcdonalds, hotel lobby's, and Starbucks as well. As well as other public places. There have been times I turned down the meet n greet. We are not going straight to each others house, hotel, some place isolated, or one of my favorites, the parking lot. Oh yes, the parking lot. We pull up, roll out windows down, speak a few words, like the looks of each other and go straight to one of our houses. I have had more than one version of that thrown at me. The best is I'm driving into your area now, can I come by your house. Ahhhhhaaaaaahaaaa I have not met you, and I am sure everything you have told me is true, sure stop on by. I don't think so. I like the parking lot, and the I will stop by. Seriously, come on. Someone else may do it, but not me. Yes, something could happen with someone you meet while out, but you more than likely have been talking to them for a couple hours while out. Is anything 100 percent safe, no. Just use some common sense, don't do a drive by, and follow them or have them follow you. I am not saying I have not done something stupid at times. Be as safe as you can, and enjoy what life throws at you. Enjoy the ride searching for what you want here..........thegrls |

yOU ARE A WISE PERSON, even as a guy, have had all those you listed thrown at me too, I insist on a public place, with lotsa people within eyesite & hearing distance, food court at a mall is my fave, and I tell a possible that I may or may not have a friend nearby, just in case, and that they should too! Caution is a very good thing indeed!

One of my best lines is: Hi, I'll be passing thru your area next week on my "Serial Killer Tour" and would love to meet up with you in the parking lot of Wallyworld, say 12ish, I'll be in the black cargo van without license plates". It works every time! Enjoy the ride searching for what you want here..........thegrls
