Private Schmivate

This internet business if for the birds, and I ain't no bird.

Out of sheer boredom, I finally broke down and Googled myself today. HUGE MISTAKE.  I'm lucky- I have a very unique name.  In fact, it appears there's only one other person in the U.S. who MAY have my name as a middle name.

So, I typed it in... D-O-A-N-Y-E-L-L-E enter.  Up popped 21 pages! I can't image how I would have muddled through if my name was Amy Smith!

So, I looked at every link.  Fortunately, I already knew what a lot of them were, because I guess each time I post on this site, it creates a new entry.  So that took care of @ 110 links.  But the others, oh my Lord!  I had no idea!

People can see all my pics posted on Intagram, what I've posted an who I follow on Pinterest and Etsy, recipes I posted and food diaries I logged into Live Strong, warm wishes I made for friends on their wedding registries, articles of me in newspapers I've never seen, my address, political affiliation, and voting records- down to the fact of if I voted early or not, funny little inspirational pictures I looked at, videos I liked on YouTube, and the list goes on!  I had no idea everyone can see how old I am, pictures of me and see my address.  It even shows my divorce from Alex's dad 19 years ago.  Sigh........

I guess it's a good thing I'm not into porn or racist jokes or taboo things..... That would have been hard to explain!  Ha!

Well, happy Saturday.  I walked for 4 hours last night, so I'm going to see if my legs will move today so I can go see some more of the world.

Check you later!

Here's a Saturday song:
