So, this news story is going around, you may have seen it already.
I removed our info last night.
Here's the article, and links so you can opt out.

You’ve probably never heard of this creepy genealogy site. But it knows a lot about you.

Thanks Lori! I also opted out for DH and I. Way too much info to be that easy to find!

Storm coming... I will be headed back up to the little house this afternoon instead of tomorrow.

 

[daleron]

Ah! Done
They didn't have much on me.

I think they were experiencing a lot of traffic.
Glad you got your info removed.

Good morning Bobbi.

I agree, too easy.
Sorry to hear you have to cut your visit short.

Icicles seem to be slowly melting here.
Still a little ice on some trees/shrubs/power lines, etc.
I checked out DH's truck in the driveway, it's partially protected by an oak tree that still has it's leaves, but his windshield isn't iced over at all, so I really think we missed the majority of it.
We got lucky, I watched as many of the bands of precip came through, and many times, we were in a dry pocket or split of the precip.

Heading off to check the MO and IL power outages map.

Yes it it!
The problem with this particular site is that (like you said) it's all in one spot, and it's FREE.
Most sites aren't. Some are pricey.
Most info is just public record, but no need to just leave it "out there" when you can easily remove it.

There's a lot we have no control over, as far as keeping our information safe, but when we can, we need to be proactive, and defend ourselves.

The news spot I saw on TV said that everytime you sign up for things online, that require your address, and other personal info, can potentially be sold to third parties.
When you sign up for things, it said to take the extra step to check their privacy statements. Opt out of allowing them to share your basic info, if you can't opt out easily, you might rethink signing up.


Not surprised. I think he stays on top of current news and events going on.

Great reminder Lori.

Good morning Lynn, Bobbi and Chels.

Bobbi, sorry you have to cut your trip short also. That stinks.

Just finished a late breakfast. Pancake muffins and bacon. Yum!

We had blueberries we needed to use up. The muffins freeze great and make perfect breakfast for the week. Ohmygosh I lurve me some bacon.

 

[Sara Love]

Do you always bake your bacon? Does it make the oven messy? I've always wanted to try but was worried about potential mess. I use our griddler/panini maker. It works well. Pop the trays out and wash. Bowl to catch the grease. Easy peasy.

I've got half a package that needs to be cooked
