I can't use it at work at all. It just crashes ie8.

I've tried everything.

Please don't say "firefox" either.

That's why you don't put up detailed pictures of your residence or post details of your social plans, or expose any defense you may have (alarm system, dog, firearms, etc.) Or you can solve that whole problem and just set your profile to private and only add friends you know.

LOL!
Add me!

And you're right, I see folks list phone numbers, addresses etc. on there--wth?!

I tell my female students to be careful of that and to all students be mindful of the pix they post. The "red cup" they are holding may have soda, but it sure makes it hard to believe when you see a bottle of liquor behind you.

No kidding!
It keeps asking me to add old boyfriends and I wonder how it knows I know them
But I just 'ignore' their suggestions and again, keep it private so if 'they' find you, they can't access your page either.
