Information on your mylot profile

I live in NY and have been to Long Island a number of times, I don't think I saw you, i would have remember you. My son played hockey in a rink named after a hockey player, it looked real nice on the outside but was a real dump on the inside. I remember we got there after a men's league game. someone had a had a camcorder and was panning the rink, not realizing the place did not have locker rooms or did not have enough locker rooms, when they got home they realized they had caught several guys on tape that were changing and were wearing nothing but a smile. A 1 1/2 inch scream does not display the same detail as a TV. I also got lost down there several times. Our paths may have crossed.

I understand that, but I would think listing Delaware or Central Atlantic states would give people an idea without divulging too much information, I myself put down the Hudson Valley Area, which is Albany to NY city but I think it helps people to relate.

You are so right, these online friendships could turn in real life ones. And nothing better can be said for a site that encourages this type of interaction. I wonder if you guys are more open because the midwest tends to be friendlier. While us east coast people tend to feel more insecure and threatened by the elements that live here.

Yes, you did and like so many other places, I can say, I once lived in Texas. I lived in San Antonio (what beautiful city, love that river walk), I have visited Corpus Christi, Dallas and Austin - I had a job that moved there but I did not go. Are you a native of Texas or one of the many transplants. I love that Texas accent!

I have been to Cincinnati, actually I think it was Sharon, am I close. I had a friend who lived there. The evening we dropped into see him, ok it was more like 3 AM when we arrived unannounced, we found that his wife just had a baby earlier that evening. I guess it is a small world and getting smaller. we were on our way to see a friend in Kentucky....ahh I can't remember the name of the town right now.

It certainly could have been Sharonville..this was way back in the early 70's we did this. You are right, paranoia is a bad thing.

Internet makes the world smaller. But I think you mean Sharonville. That's one of the suburbs here. That part is actually way out for Cincinnati. You don't have much city left before you are in Mason or some other city.

I don't blame you, at one time on the internet if you looked up someone, one of the websites not only had a phone number but a map to the house (ouch!) Loon Lake - where in Canada is that, what province, being from Buffalo I am somewhat familiar with Southern Ontario. Loon lake sounds very picturesque and relaxing? Is it?

The Loon Lake I live in is in Saskatchewan (there's also one in Alberta or BC). Its a really nice area in the summer the population booms and more than triples but in the winter we have 400 people living in the town limits plus farms and The Makwa Sahgaiehcan Indian Reserve is right next door and has a population of about 800 people. Theres about 300 campsites in the provincial park and approx 200-250 cabins by the lakes. Its a nice area to live and and..well everyone kinda knows everybody but rumors do fly...according to the local coffee shop i have a baby now (i wonder when that happened, i missed out on the whole process if it did!)

If your phone number is listed in the phone book, finding your address is easy to do online. So if you use your real name and city, you can be found.

I do when it applies to the discussion, for example it is July here and someone is complaining about the cold weather - I look and see that they are from australia. Or someone who condemns and hates all American, it is interesting to note what country they are from.

we live in a small town too. Only one traffic light in the entire county. LOL

I agree, I did the same thing. I live in a small town, my hubby considers it a city but I guess it is all relative, and if someone wanted to find me, it would be very easy if I put in the name.

Yes, that is one of the reasons that I look at location as well. Many people are scared to put in their personal information because of the possibility that there are predators or other sickos watching or waiting for them or a family member. Many people lie about their age as well, that I am not sure about the reason why. You did put in your city, it is one of my favorites, it is big and beautiful and so clean for a large city. It is a city to be proud of.

Many people including myself prefer not to put much information but in general I don't mind saying what city I live in and I have no problem at all giving my age. I can understand someone not entering the location, but the age I don't see the reasoning. As for TOronto, yes it's a beautiful place - I just wished I could live a bit away from it so I could enjoy a more peaceful place with less noise and less busy , but at the same time close enough to be able to taste it when I wanted :):):)

Well, I have not been to where you are from, I have certainly been in the general vicinity and I have bad news for you, you are almost in NY. My son played travel hockey and we went to scranton and hershey and many places I don't remember as well as Binghamton and Elmira. Wow, it really is a small world.

LOL...my old house was 6 miles from the border! I am a bit further south now though.

I think it would be nice to be near the mountains. I assume they get snow?

I wrote you a response a while ago and it is not hear. Well, I have not been that close to you other then LA and San Diego and the connecting road between them. Are you affected by earthquakes? Do you get the ocean breezes or the forest fires? California sometime seems like a great place to live and other times not. What do you think about your locale?

I have lived in California for over 26 years and like it very much. I am between San Diego and LA but on the east side on Freeway 15. We get earthquakes, and fires. I have only lived in this town for 2 years. It is interesting as I have a nice lake and am near the mountains and about 1 1/2 hour from the beach.

I do understand the need, especially if you live in a small town. It would be easy for someone to find you. Of course I consider 30K a small town so I can understand that. Can you put down a province?

I think that you can tell when they are insane, it is the people who are just sick and demented that often appear as normal as everyone else. I think you can sometimes tell a lot about someone after a reading their comments and responses. I am amazed at how some of these people can say things and I feel like I said them myself. After a while, some people I feel like I do know and would like to get to know them in person, or people I would definitely not like to get to know because I don't like their discussions or responses to them. I like Virginia, maybe next summer, if gas prices are more reasonable will plan a trip to Northern Va and The DC area. My husband has never been there.

The cost of living here in Winchester is SO MUCH cheaper than near D.C.! I can't believe the prices here! I mean, like everywhere else, prices are rising, but they're nowhere near the prices in the larger cities! The thing I love most is that my husband still works out of Gaithersburg, MD, not far from D.C. and still gets the big paycheck, but we pay so much less for everything here! To give an example, our house runs entirely on electricity except for our water heater which we have running on propane. Our monthly electric bill is $109.00. I think that's much lower than Maryland or the D.C. area in Virginia. I'm glad you have fond memories of Winchester. Oh, I know what you mean about those TV commercials! I remember when I saw my first Sonic commercial. I did a search on the internet and found the closest one was like 300 miles away! So unfair!!! When the Sonic here was finished, you should have seen the lines they had, morning til night! That went on for about 3 weeks before it finally started slowing down some. It's probably a marketing strategy, trying to find franchisees in areas where there's no Sonic around. Same with the other commercials.

I can understand you not wanting to disclose your location due to the fact that you have and talk about your grandchildren. We as adults can deal with the weirdos out there but children have not yet learned those life lessons.
