My MySpace profile lists my age as 90. I did this at some point in 2005 to avoid the amount of messages I was receiving from men using the site to find prospective dates. This is my choice, and one that worked very well for me, even if I was, in fact, in direct violation of MySpace's terms of service, which state that all users must submit “truthful and accurate” information about themselves.

This blog post was written in response to a question emailed to me by one of my clients. It was such a good question that I thought it deserved a blog post (or 2, or 3)!

So you were playing on a social networking site and a guy friend from your home towm Instant messages you. Now he lives in another state far away.  So You decide that since he really doesn't know you all that well and he is far away;  You are going to spill your guts and tell him exactly how you feel about life. You commince to tell him how you lost your job six months ago, that you believe in marriage and how much you are tired of being alone.

Stopping junk mail's easy -- theoretically -- since all you need to do is say no. But because you have to say no to so many different companies -- and may want to preserve one or two coupon mailers you use -- de-cluttering your mail box can get difficult pretty fast. This perhaps explains why so many people still get -- and complain about -- the amount of junk mail they get.
