A friend of mine learned the hard way, put YOUR OWN Picture on your FACEBOOK page!  He is newly married and thought it would be clever to put his wife's picture on his page. That way when he is traveling, preaching revivals and she is not with him, he can log into his phone's browser and there she is.

Well the problem is .. some single UPCI guy thought that Michael was Michelle and started hitting on him, asking him for a date etc...

Now he is changing his screen name to MIKE and changing the picture!

So hint: don't use your spouses picture, you must might get hit on by someone you don't want to hit on you.

That might just redirect the guy to start hitting on his wife.   :-\

Sometimes it even gets confusing if you put up a picture of the two of you together.  Sometimes people just look at the picture and don't pause long enough to figure out if it's me or Jason posting.

I don't even know how many times I've done that with you two. *grin* Ah well. I figure if I comment using the wrong name, you'll forgive me. Blame it on BrideBrain or something. ;)

Hmm... well, BrideBrain and BirdBrain may be more closely related than we thought... :P  ;)

Ummm...  a taco has lettuce and meat and cheese and a little crunchy shell thingy around it all.  A clown has a rubber chicken and a bicycle horn.

Okay, if you are a single woman who has one or more children, and you are going to send a single guy that doesn't know you/yor family really well a friend add request, have something else besides the kid pic as your main page pic! Otherwise, don't blame him if he thinks he's getting a  friend request from some child he doesn't know, and ignores it!

I am not a big fan of "couples'' face book pages. Who is writing the post? 

My wife and I have separate FB Accounts, I know her password, she knows mine. If she wants to look at my account.. fine. If  want to look at hers.. fine.  I know my kids FB Passwords and they know ours.

Same with our email accounts. In fact.. my kids know my password, they knowy my wife's password and I know theirs.

lol  John.

Seth: How do you know what flavor clowns are?  :eyebrow:

Scott: Couples facebook pages drive me nuts!  lol  The other day someone was tagging ministers in a post about a conference, and they tagged two ministers, and then the last one they tagged was a minister with a couples page, and it made it look like the man and his wife preached at the converence.  lol  I was like...  huh??  And then there's the people I went to college with.  I only know one person in the couple, but there's this couple writing on the wall, and sometimes it's not the person that I met.  It's weird.

It doesn't make sense.

The same goes for couples email accounts. One couple I know did make it a little easy...

hisnamehername@hotmail.com (her account)
hisnamehername@comcast.net (his account)


Seriously, when I see a couples account I think that there are serious trust issues there. 

One minister friend of mine had his account and wife had hers. An old High School girlfriend sent him a friends request - wife closed her account and made his a couples account.  :roll:

I look at my friends list and there are several ex girlfriends on my list, I even have one of my wife's ex boyfriends AND his sister on my list. He is on my wife's friends list too.  *shrug*  Life is too short and too stressful to get weirded out about small stuff.

On my list I also have several ladies who are dating friends of mine and my wife has some of those men on her page.

Worried about trust? If your wall is open to all on your friends list - everyone will see the conversation!

True, but in my case.. my wife has all my passwords, I have all of hers. Nothing is secret, nothing can be secret!

The key is to be open and honest with each other, allow the other to double check what you are doing.
