Right now it's 11 here. What site did you use? I use Accuweather-- best one there is. That, and their info is usually pretty accurate. And it never reached 32 here in my area-- highest it reached was 21.

I use Weather on iPhone.

Chicago should be very larger city.

It is, but it has more than one zip code. There's like 15 or 20 for here alone; I live within 5 miles of several of them.

And I also have a couple of job searching apps on my phone, too. I'll need to use those a little more often.

oh dear oh dear... now these companies know everything about you since you've installed their apps in your cellphone

while I was job hunting, I used LinkedIn's paid service for a month and it showed that a majority of interested employers have responded back for an interview after reviewing my LinkedIn profile. I had no problem finding another job in short time after I got let go.

I got let go last year in October and I took a month of hiatus from "work" because my previous job was quite stressful and depressing so I needed to recharge my mental battery. and then I got fed up with no work so I spent 2 months looking around and sending my resumes out... and then found a job.

why are you paranoid about it? how does it affect you negatively?

It doesn't, but I want to prevent some "so-called" friends from being able to easily find me, and continue picking on me. If you haven't yet seen my other posts about my bad childhood, please check that out, and then come back here, and hopefully, you'll understand a little bit about why I don't need one-- it's for my safety and protection.

I recommended you to include a link to other thread so that will be a better guide for Jiro to find it, otherwise you could left with a huge confusion.

Hey, Jiro!! Here's the link to the thread. Go to Page 2, near the bottom. There's a little bit of history about what happened to me, and why I am apprehensive of certain stuff.

I'll give you another tip on AD ... when a person posts look at the top of their post on the right corner and theres a thing that says permalink in the blue bar ... click that and it will change the WWW address in the bar at the top of your browser ... copy paste that into a link as you usually do posting one and when someone clicks on it then it will take them to that particular post you want them to see ... example:

Awesome. I wondered what it was for.

Now you understand why I do not need one? My bad childhood would catch up with me, and I've kept it at bay all these years, and I am not about to open THOSE floodgates. I'd like to keep them locked and padded. That, and if any of my former "so-called" friends found me from back then, there's a very high chance I wouldn't be here today. Certain websites I tend to stay away from, and with good reason.

You only add friends on Facebook that you want to add. Those people that you don't want, you don't have to add them. They won't see your posts if you make it private and only friends can view it. Simple as that. You can keep those bad people out. If they request to be friends, just deny it.

True, but that still makes me searchable, though, and I'd rather not be. I like my life as it is now, thanks. I am quite happy without Facebook intruding in my personal life and whatnot. I know a friend of mine who hates Facebook for several reasons, and I can't blame him. Me? I'm open-minded, but I'd like to stay private, though.

Facebook isn't even under my real name. I used a pseudo name. That's another option some people do. I agree with you though about Facebook in general. It took me a long time to sign up. In fact, I was one of the last people to sign up. Using a pseudo helped. I found out it's great keeping in touch with friends, play games or for information from companies. I have some companies added into my Facebook so they can let me know what's on sale, coupons offered etc. It's been helpful. Just no real names. You can be called Mark Chicago or anything you like.

You're right, it is. However, my family does not (I repeat) does not have Facebook (at least to my knowledge), and heck, I'm not even sure if my Dad knows how to use the Internet on his Samsung Galaxy S2, and I need to teach him how to do that the next time I head down south, because I'd like to add my Dad to my Google+ page, so he can view some of my pictures I have up (speaking of which, I need to add more), and go from there.

Sounds good. Stick with Google+. I tried it once 4 years ago and didn't like it. I had 2 or 3 random people added to it and saw nothing, had no clue what to do with it.

I don't even have any of my family on facebook. Just friends. Mostly friends I've met online from gaming.

Using Google+ is pretty easy to do-- I have some beautiful pictures there from a recent vacation, and I just got done downloading my pictures of the current winter onto my laptop, also easy to do, and uploading pictures isn't that hard to do. Just gotta practice, and you'll get it. I'm getting a knack for getting beautiful pictures here and there; I'll have to upload some of the ones I just downloaded onto my laptop and add them to Google+, and go from there.
 
There. Now I've uploaded six new photos to my profile, and deleted 7. I'm glad that's done with for now, but I'm quite sure I'll be adding lots more before this winter season is over.
