Wanna be (facebook) friends?

Yes the only comments I get is "But it's so hot out today." Thanks, I noticed.

IndySteel, I don't have much personal info on my facebook, just my city and the company I work for (which is located in 10 different locations), and not even my real name. But thank you.

Thanks for clarifying! Sounds like you already have it covered!

No prob, I actually got hacked last year through my ebay/paypal account and they accessed my gmail and online bank account. This wasn't do to any carelessness on my part but still opened my eyes. I don't post my full name or addy anywhere or upload my gps records of any runs or bike rides... it's a scary world.

Sometimes I'm even hesitant to mention where i'm going to be running/riding/hiking, but I only go to popular places where I'm sure to see lots of traffic and people. A pain to fight crowds but safer than being isolated...

You can always post here on TE - we're a captive audience that understands the need to ride, run, swim; or otherwise be active outside. Just sayin' there's already a forum

I posted on Facebook once about my 30 mile ride and an hour of swimming laps afterward and all my family had to say was "You need something to do!".

I thought... this IS something to do...

Would they rather I sit on my butt and watch TV? LOL!

FB friendship request sent - all I ever post about on FB is cycling/outdoors related. I give far more details here than I do there - but it is nice to know I've FB friends who won't automatically roll their eyes when I post about doing something outside

Hah! All I get are crickets too! Sometimes someone will say "you are insane" but most of the time, I think nobody 'gets it'. To them my little milestone of going 60 miles is no more impressive than riding the 20 I was doing several months back, because they think they couldn't do more than four so I'm just crazy. But if I were to say "I rode the distance between my house and Northern Chattanooga today" I'll get a response.

Most of the time on FB I stick to the weather, my garden, and what I made for dinner. People seem to like that. *Yawn*

Yep - so I don't even mention how far I ride any more, just that I had a good ride and leave it at that. I am more likely to give a deer count that I saw or post a cool picture - they seem to like that more. I don't get more personal than that...
