I was thinking of creating an new account using my REAL first and last name. I realized I've made a total a$$ of myself on this forum using pity-threads and whatever. I'm looking forward to change myself for the better this year. Its still January. I have a BIG dog and guarantee if anyone hunts me down she will bite in self-defense if anyone were to do anything to me.

Im confused in what you mean. Is there some underlying theme to this that I dont understand? Anyway, using you real first and last name in a forum like this is a bad idea. Do you realize the power of google?!? I guarantee that if you google the usernames of people already in this forum, you can find their Facebook or Flickr accounts with pics and everything. Just something to keep in mind when you create usernames! Dont make them the same for anything personal!

Everyone who reads this, should really google their username. See what you find and if it makes you uncomfortable. BTW, I am not ChiGuy2 elsewhere. lol

LOL!

A dog vs a gun. Who do you think is going to win? If someone really wants to get to you they will.

They can poison your dog or shoot your dog or stab your dog or use dog catcher instruments to catch your dog or they can pick your dog, even a big police type dog, and just shake until its neck breaks ect.

This is a really bad idea.

Neither were those girls who were killed on craigslist.

If you have any doubt as to why this is a bad idea go and visit The Charley Project or NamUs or The Doe Network or NCMEC to see why THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY BAD IDEA!

Whats the difference between the internet and the bar? i've had guys at the bar asking me where I live and work. its a small- hometown bar in a rural area where people mostly know everyone who comes in and out of there

Wow, you really don't know the power of the internet, do you?

Think of it this way, putting your real info out there also puts your family at risk.

The internet isn't a small little bar in the middle of nowhere.

The internet is a scary place where predators spend hours looking for stupid men, women and children to rape, murder and exploit.

If you can't see the difference then perhaps this will be a thinning of the herd although I hope it isn't.

Katie, come along now. You've been around this forum long enough and on this planet long enough to know how daft that is. If you have an overwhelming desire to write then start a blog but under no circumstances use your real name anywhere on an internet forum. This was a silly thread to start.
