You may notice that my pictures aren't showing up today. The reason is because my daily bandwidth has been exceeded on my web hosting plan. Apparently alot of people are watching my silly videos because this happened yesterday too. Not sure how I'm gonna handle it yet. It sure is nice to be getting attention.

Have you noticed that kids like to use their birthdays in their screen names? Do they not realize that is way more information than they should be handing out over the internet? Why do they do that?
Well, alot of times to have a unique screen name you end up having to use numbers at the end of it. Why use random numbers when you have a perfectly good set that you carry around your whole life? Tack that birthday at the end of a name and your chances of having a unique name are pretty good.
Of course this is a really bad idea because there are nasty evil people out there and you just never know when you're going to end up talking to one of them. Do you really want them to know that you're 13 years old? No. Would you tell them if the asked? Probably not. If your birthday is in your screen name they know as soon as you start talking to them. Bad idea. Don't do it.

Well said!
It's amazing how you hear about kids just giving info out, like their mobile number! Or worse, they think it's a hoot to give out their mate's number!
Idiots.
:)
You might say it's a bad idea. But at least you won't ever find yourself in a position where you have to go, "I swear I didn't know she's 15."
It's interesting how these kids can divulge such information to those psycho maniacs online. I guess it has something to with them wanting attention; if not that, then they're just stupid and naive.
It's quite sad.
Also makes it easy to steal your password.
How about teenaged girls that call themselves: "Sweetgrl16", "14AndCute", etc!??!?!
