Terrye, Michelle and I discussed our concerns for our friends and the amount of private and confidential information some were including in their blogs. It seems as though they've forgotten there's a terrible element in society that preys upon those that are naive and trusting. Our intent wasn't to scare you, by any means, although, yes, there have been many instances of these exact things taking place. We simply wish for our friends to be more careful and avoid any possible tragedies in their lives. I'd rather lose a friendship over an article than to have one of them lose a child because I didn't speak up. I've always said that the children of the world are the greatest treasure a family can have. Let's keep them where they belong!

Terrye, Michelle and I discussed the dangers of all the information being provided in many of the blogs we read. Writing about family is fine, as long as you don't give out the information that can inadvertently put them in danger. We all think too much of our friends to want them to go through any hardships. This one was way over the line, but, I thought if I could display this type of attitude in a harsh enough way, something might hit home and show them another perspective at work. Hope I didn't burn down the bar with the pyro. lol Many thanks, my friend!Richard Rumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478732756685966429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-30486575603360679082013-02-07T19:01:38.043-05:002013-02-07T19:01:38.043-05:00Terrye - Need I say, "I told you several tim...Terrye - Need I say, "I told you several times this one was way over the line?" lol When we were discussing doing these, I knew it would prove itself to be extremely harsh unless I could round off the edges enough to find some humor. I tried to be gentle. lol My kids always understood my lessons laced with humor. I'm not going to say they always liked the truth they spoke, but they understood. : ) Many Thanks!Richard Rumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478732756685966429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-52051324052806364172013-02-07T18:04:44.023-05:002013-02-07T18:04:44.023-05:00dude! not just play with your teeth...but get out...dude! not just play with your teeth...but get out the lighter fluid at the end of the set!<br /><br />(Posts like this remind me of the fun that I had in the early days of bloghood, when I didn't think past the next week, much less playing it careful.... thanks for the reminder!)Clark Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606902779389446947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-27655079089121045272013-02-07T14:34:36.645-05:002013-02-07T14:34:36.645-05:00The whole way through, I kept asking myself "...The whole way through, I kept asking myself "How much did he spend on therapy for his kids when they were growing up?"

That's the scary part! Of course, I did my best to make it somewhat humorous, as always, but there's a lot of truth in what was written. Michelle, Terrye and I have discussed this and only want to prevent something terrible from occurring to one of our friends by bringing out the facts that there are lunatics that read blogs, too. You and I have already discussed this a few months ago. We've got to make sure that we're not putting the one's we love, or even ourselves in danger.

Child Services is over run with so many reports of neglect and abuse that they have a difficult time investigating them all. Perverts are using the web to select targets, and the more info we provide about our personal habits tend to make things easy for them. This can and has endangered our children. Michelle, Terry and I have discussed this, and felt something needed to be said. So, all of us wrote a message in our own style concerning this topic. It is scary, but hopefully it will prevent one of our great web friends from suffering if they heed the messages.
