I have an inner dialogue going on that contains lots of cursing. Curses!
Early this morning my dad called and he found my blog. Apparently, he searched for chicken tags in technorati and there i was! The chicken lady. *gulp*
I'm pretty sure he was scared away, and as i compulsively check every link and visitor on this blog, i pretty much know when anybody i know visits. He was, however, very concerned about how much information i let loose. Especially the names and photos of my kids. His concerns are valid. But, i'm just not willing to censor myself in that way. I'm pretty vague about where i live and, heck, for all anybody knows these are all made-up events. Shane and i have discussed this a lot and we decided together on what we felt safe about.
On the other hand, a while back i posted some photos of my kids in the bath on Flickr. Over the course of a weekend i noticed that those photos had WAY more views than any others. It really sickened me. I changed the access on them, but the experience has stuck with me. I even got a few people trying to get me to add them as family on my account so they could get access. That sucks. I could go on about it, but frankly, i don't want to give it my energy. It's not worth it.
So, i am going to continue on as i always have and hope that my family understands.
xxoo

Eeek, I’d never even thought about people (I use the term loosely) wanting to get extra access to certain pictures. Ewww.
Oh, and welcome to the world of bloggers whose dads read about their lives online…
Oh, boy, I’m not very secretive, either…stuff to think about!
Hi there. I actually came across your cute photos on flickr and checked out your blog. I, unfortunately, wouldn’t post pics of my kids in the bath or in undies on any public forum. But I still love posting pics of my kids on flickr. I’m sure the vast majority of the viewers are benign, and I’m careful not to post anything iffy. I also try to be discreet about location, last name, etc. More importantly, I am with my kids almost all the time, and I talk with them a lot about the dangers out there. But keep on having fun with your blog and your photos. Everyone needs an outlet, and this seems like a lot of fun for you,
