"As the Net Turns"

This page is dedicated to all the wonderful friends I have met on-line and for those lonely people who have made bad decisions and are in unhealthy cyber relationships to keep from being lonely!
I'll never forget the first time I went into a chat room! A friend at work intorduced me to the world of chat. That was in 1995, years later I have witnessed many lives turned upside down from chatting and cyber relationships! Though I have had the pleasure of seeing lives that have been enriched.... but sadly that is too far and few in between....With any new adventure you have the positive and the negative! This site has both views! My message to you is EDUCATE yourself!

The Positive!

"All the COOL People"

In October of 1998, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet 11 friends who I met on-line and had chatted with any where from 1- 4 years!
Even tho some of these people know more about me then my own family......It is important to remember safety in meeting people face to face! Meeting in a large group such at a chat meet like this or one-on-one, there are safety issues!
Tips for Internet Safety
Three Basic Rules to Keep In Mind
NEVER give out personal information (including your name, home address, phone number, age, race, family income, school name or location, or friend's names) to anyone you met in a chat room.
ONLY meet virtual strangers for the first time in a public place, where there are many people! NEVER invite them to your house. TELL others about your meeting...when where and with whom.
IF something seems fishy, it usually is! NEVER respond to messages that make you feel confused or uncomfortable. You should IGNORE the sender, end the communication, and tell someone you trust right away. Take down their IP number and email the host of the chatroom.

Music: I'll Be Over You by Toto

Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny
Passes by
There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That's how our love must be
Don't ask why

It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you

Chorus:
As soon as my heart stops breakin'
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you
Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same

There were nights holding you close
Somday I'll try to forget them
Somday I'll be over you.....
