Good time to voluntarily quarantine yourself because you just got Da Rona.

Then it's the husband you have to worry about.

Nothing like that, she’s a nice lady. I was just a bit shocked when she said she’d meet me at my house.

Dude...just have them put their phone in the shoebox lined with tin foil you keep in the back seat....

They don't complain much....well they might but the duct tape muffles the noise

Someone will be along shortly that will tell how they crashed the system by all the saved addresses.

Not that. One of those gals who has been beautiful her whole life (e.g. cheerleader in both high school and college), and everybody always bent over backwards for her so she didn't take much personal responsibility. Major princess complex. As the saying goes - no matter how hot a gal is some guy is sick of her shit and I was that guy. I don't think anybody had ever dumped her before.

Oh great, a bunch of old guys talking about modern cell phones.

No, not "old". Aglifter very specifically labeled himself as "middle aged".

So I guess the only question is what qualifies as "middle aged"... I know plenty of old guys who think of themselves as "middle aged".

(Hell, my mid-70s ex-mother-in-law used to brag about how she volunteered at her church once a week to "help out the old folks". She clearly didn't consider herself to be part of that category.)

So apparently the local po-po doesn't take too kindly to it if you do this - ESPECIALLY if the chloroform wears off sooner than you planned.

jus' sayn'

"Pardon me, miss... Does this handkerchief smell like chloroform to you?"

Google Voice also lets you set up a separate number, with calls and texts to/from that separate Google number handled through your real phone without exposing your real number.

Way Way Way back before cell phones, it seems everyone knew their friends, families and girlfriends phone number by memory along with where they lived.

Now I could not tell you more than three phone numbers I know by heart. If I would really think maybe five but that would be pushing it.

I did not remember all the street addresses but I knew where they lived.

I'm not sure what changed, but back then I did not worry about someone knowing where i lived.
And I dated my share of crazies.

My favorite was sending a picture somehow she was able to know where it was taken. She advised me to turn off some tracking/ sharing thing. I look at the phone with contempt.

Yep. Geotagging. Unless you disable it on your smartphone, it tags every photo you take with the GPS coordinates of where it was taken in the data of the image. Then once you've sent that photo to someone, or posted it online, anyone viewing the photo can then look up exactly where it was taken.

So, for example, that photo you took with your smartphone of your dog in your living room and then posted to the Dog thread on the forum could potentially show anyone with access to the photo exactly where you live.

It's extremely important to turn of location data/geotags/whatever the manufacturer calls it in your camera settings, anytime you get a new smartphone. (This applies to anyone, not just middle-aged bachelors... And it's especially important on your kids' phones.)

Some photo hosting sites also have a setting that lets them automatically block or remove any geotag data for photos uploaded to your account. This is a handy secondary protection, for photos that you're posting on the forum at least. (Doesn't help with photos that are directly emailed or texted to someone, or are directly uploaded to something like Facebook.)

FWIW, I don't take photos with my flip phone, and my camera does not "do" GPS. I have a device that enables me to add GPS data to photos, but I'm in control of that process. Photos I post to Flickr usually do have GPS data, but none of those are of sensitive content.

Rookie mistake.

I usually have to pay extra for that...
