Surely they are equally cool as you.

Anyone who knows you knows that any of those horrible references could never relate to the REAL you. I'm sorry that your work puts you tough spots like that. WE love you!

That is horrible, I am so sorry that is the case. One bright spot is that anyone who really knows you knows how good of a person you are--mom, citizen, worker, etc---and knows that any of those horrible things aren't related to you :-) Oh my gosh Victoria–I had no idea. That is horrible, I am so sorry that is the case.

I couple years ago I decided to Google a couple of my ex-boyfriends from high school and college to see how much they changed over the years. One of them was named Jeff Stryker. Nice guy, TKE president at UNCC, etc. (WARNING: MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY) Well, just for the record, the guy that comes up is NOT the Jeff Stryker I dated. Hey, at least the images you got were all upper body... ;) Jill Ha!

I discovered a complete website in my name where someone who doesn't like my positions on things put a picture of people hanging other people with nooses. Not exactly what I hope my family and friends see. Kate–Try googling yourself when what you do for a living is engaging the public dialogue in controversial social issues.

Loved the Forest Gump reference. I have done this and oddly enough there are a TON of African American women named Chara...also some odd algea in the science world. Not sure what this means...I'm like pond scum? Before I joined facebook I always thought it was super fun that a beautiful African American woman popped up as me. In 3rd grade I went through a phase where I wished I was black. I even made a photo album filled with pictures from Jet and Ebony mags. It's like the internet was giving me my own alternate lifestyle wish. Hahahahahah! Loved the Forest Gump reference.

We have GOT to help our kids with a context for their online presence. We know if our play date friends serve 100% organic milk and cookies; we have to pay attention to their soon-to-be OR their current Facebook friends, too. Our children's digital footprint need not dog them as adults if we learn about profiling and data banking today, AND share what we know. Parenting is definitely a different job than it was when my Mom and Dad stepped up to the plate...except for those core values....which are probably exactly the same!
