It's my understanding that the only way to get an avatar here is to upload a picture from one's computer. Is that correct? If so, is every avatar unsafe? I mean, my avatar is an emoticon but I had to first save it to my computer, then upload it here. Is it still a risk to my privacy?

Divine, when I right click on your avatar and look at 'Source" and 'Properties', I only see references to the Q community, nothing personal.

So I think you're safe!

I would never put a photo of myself on the internet, generally speaking.

Amazing how wonderful that perfume looks just because of the peonies. What perfume is it?
I think I need it, too.
BTW nothing happens if I click on the perfume picture or your avatar. You seem to be safe.

Thanks for the comment and info. I wound up deleting the pic as I was just practicing and didn't mean to take the thread OT. Then after doing so I saw your question. Woops, LOL! Anyway, the perfume nestled in the peonies is Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede. I've been wanting it but no place to smell it around it and hate to pay the price unsniffed.

Hi i see the pic. 😃

I don't go and try to do sleuthing to find out who is whom on facebook. I've discovered in the past few years, that some do. I obviously was very naive as I once posted a comment on Jacque G.'s FB page years ago and a person "discovered" who I was. I just don't care what other posters look like, and I don't stalk facebook trying to uncover who posters are or try to live vicariously through hosts' lives.

Like I said, I was naive. Since I don't peruse into peoples' personal business, I erroneuosly thought others didn't. I've learned that a few do. They know everything about everyone through detective work. It's odd, creepy and has a bit of a "stalker" mentality.

I understand completely. When it's something we wouldn't dream of doing we tend to be very trusting. In my case, I know a couple of people who were traced from anonymous forums, identified and then stalked in their "real world." It's not a pretty thing and is enough to teach us to be skeptical and even (unfortunately) cynical. Online security isn't a laughing matter, even when it comes to what we think of as simple, "harmless" forums.

Sadly, the attempt to provide a "heads up" to folks in case they're not aware is often met with bad results even though our intent is positive.

I love the aroma of old fashion peonies. (most of our new ones have little to no scent) I wanted to love the Jo Malone perfume. I didn't get a lot of peony from it. I think it's sort of fruity. My initial sniff I liked it but as I pulled back, I thought it had a leathery smell. (I know, strange)

I recognize that gorgeous bouquet of yours and remember your beautiful wedding pictures.
