Myspace... the "How To"

I'd been asked a lot about exactly how Myspace works. And although I could navigate it with my eyes closed, so to say... I often find it a bit more difficult to explain to people, just because I'm used to doing it rather than having to explain how to do it. The good news is that MSNBC has posted a "MySpace How To" which does a great job of explaining the community and giving instructions on how to navigate it.

For those parents who are interested in seeing just what is going on there... I can't encourage you more to take a look at the How To.

This is a great link - the report about the three girls and their MySpace accounts was incredible - it should be MUST viewing for all parents of teens. I didn't know this was up there - thanks a bunch for posting this!

I've decided we need a visual image for the internet.
The internet is a lot like river where you go white water rafting. It is fast, fun, and even useful and educational. And especially the edges can be very fun. But there are deep, dark, fast and dangerous waters there also. And just like most parents wouldn't send their children white water rafting without supervision, they should also be supervising internet usage.

If your kids have Myspace accounts, you might want to check out this page it's from MSNBC and it contains a fake profile to help you get an idea of what shouldn't been available on the site. Sort of a "don't do this".

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

The Beating Death Of a Child

Michael Porter was arrested Thursday for the death of his two year old stepdaughter. He is accused of striking the little girl in the abdomen earlier in the week causing blunt force trauma and inflicting deadly wounds. The little girl was described as having significant bleeding in her intestines and bruising on her ribs, the front of her chest, side and back. Records indicate that she had bruises in other areas of her body and medical examiners believe she suffered from possible kneeing, punching or squeezing. Kelsey Smith Briggs dies hours before her father was due to return from serving in Iraq. Port has recently filed divorce papers on Rae dawn Porter, the little girls mother. The bond has been set for $1 million, after he plead not guilty in court Friday morning to charges that he killed the toddler, Kelsey Briggs. The judge in the case has issued a gag order for everyone in the case. You may have to register Video, grandparents speak out , grandmother report the abuse without any...
