When MySpace was in its early days I used to get a ton of friend requests and messages from random guys.. so did every other girl, not just me..it was so weird because they would be from any city or country.. we figured out that they must be searching by a MySpace feature that let you search by area, hair color, age etc etc. So my girlfriends and I all changed our descriptions so we’d have less of a chance of getting strange messages from creepy internet guys.

ohh lol.
I understand that.

I used to get random people from Africa and India add me in facebook as well.

Just to defend those "creepy" internet guys... let's have a shout out for those "creepy" internet girls that will readily post personal information about themselves and then get upset if someone responds. It's a two way street. And an easily predictable response. :grumpy:;):)

There is no defense for these guys.

I was in my mid 20s when MySpace came out.. it was my first time on social media. We had a group of around 20 of us, no one had kids yet.. we all lived in either SoBe, downtown Ft Laud, downtown WPB, or downtown Boca.. we were the cliche ‘work hard play hard’ SoFloridian 20somethings.
We traveled and when not traveling were constantly at a restaurant, nightclub, bar, or beach during weekend days..sand volleyball leagues and scuba diving and such. This is what our photos and “wall” (or whatever the MySpace profile comments were called) were full of- Our group having fun.

We were obviously not looking for relationships via the Internet..and there is absolutely no other word but “Creepy” to describe a man who would send a message such as- “hey baby wanna chat” or “what are you wearing” etc etc etc. Men like that have Zero defense for that kind of predatory and disrespectful behavior towards women.

So, we quickly figured out how to get out of their twisted searches. :)

@21stamps i think T would genuinely enjoy Jackson Square!!

But here's the deal with kids in New Orleans.... They really limit the things you can experience, in my opinion. Want to go in that shop? No kids allowed. Want to grab some water and use the restroom, no kids allowed in that place either. We went to a restaurant that yelled at us for talking the kid in their main door, because they had a side door for families to enter so the kids didn't walk through the bar area. At one point we were searching for a bathroom for my nephew for a half hour. Which in none year old time is a long time, lol.

He really enjoyed the rock and stone shops though, so if T is into rock collecting, there are some great stores for that. I think he'd really enjoy the streetmosphere too, as there's street bands everywhere.

One of our uber drivers did confirm for you that the city gets decked out in it's finest for Christmas and the crowds should be lower.

Thank you!!!
It sounds kind of similar to Key West with a child, but at least I already know where he can’t (and shouldn’t) walk into in KW.

I’m glad you all had a good time! The rock stores sound neat, and we do both love streetmosphere!

I’ll have to keep weighing my options.. on one hand it sound like a gorgeous sail to get down the Gulf- on the other, your experience combined with the weather are kind of making me lean towards Miami again. We’ll see. Thanks so much for the report!!

Good thoughts coming your way! But you might not want to jinx it by saying it's not raining yet. Find some wood to knock on!!!

Thanks!! Luckily I didn’t jinx us!! Rain started heavy at the very end of the game.
For those of you who have already lived thru the first year of kid pitch- Be Thankful You Are Done!!
Holy cow that game was lonnnnnnngggg

3 of our kids got hit by the pitcher.. most walked, a few struck out.. I think there was maybe 4 base hits all game- between both teams!!!
T is a monster hitter, he was thrilled that they don’t have to stop at second base this year.. and he didn’t even hit!! Struck out once, walked 3 times (once after getting hit by the ball).
Crazy how big the strike zone is! I’m going to have to adjust my instruction with him, I told him not to swing if above shoulders..but the ump was calling strikes at eye level.lol

Please tell me you are not saying that by having a myspace, you are asking for strangers to proposition you. As someone who has had men proposition me just because they "liked my name" without any personal information at all, the idea that I deserve it is offensive. So I hope that's not what you are saying. Existing or having a nice name doesn't mean I am asking for attention. It's not really a 2 way street at all, unless I've posted that information and specifically said "I'm open to relationships if you are interested in what you see here." Just like walking down the street doesn't mean I should be catcalled. There's also a HUGE difference between someone saying "I saw your profile and we have a lot in common, would you be open to getting to know me better" and "Hey, your pictures look HAWT, let's hook up." or sending explicit pictures of themselves.

Offering up personal information on social media is not an invitation for creepy guys.
