WTF? Crazy things can happen because of Facebook.

[KaciBlakely]

So here's how I cam across the story.

I was online, and decided to check my email from yahoo, one I haven't checked in forever and this is what popped up as the headline.

Unique Name finds Love.

Or something of the sort.

So I thought it sounded like an interesting read and decided to click on it.

After I read it, it sounded like a cliche romance comedy, with a big plus on the comedy level.

It sounds crazy and weird.

And now I'll you what it is, because I'm sure you are all interested.

Kelly Hildebrandt a girl from Florida was on Facebook and decided to search her name to see if anyone shared it.

One person did.

A guy from Texas, my home state, Kelly Hildebrandt was the only person who shared her name so she messaged him a quick sentence saying it was cool or something.

After three or four weeks, that's one month!, they decide to meet, well he flew to Florida and they started dating.

8 months later they are engaged.

So I have one thing in mind.

They said they searched and went back 250 years to see if they were related in some sort of way and they weren't, or so they said.

But really don't you think in some weird connection they are related at some point.

Whether it be, 450 years ago or later.

That's just creepy and weird if you ask me.

I just wanted to know if anyone else heard about it.

When I googled for this story there were 32,000 or so results so it looks like it fascinates people to some degree.

Weird but true I guess.

How does one sort through mail though?

it was on the front page of yahoo.com earlier.

I did hear about this earlier, it's pretty crazy. I know you're a private person and all that, but did you know there's an NDN Facebook group? You really should join it! I think it's called something like "www.nodepositneeded.com is the BEST forum on the web" or something like that. Check it out, at least, there are a lot of people you know on there. Eejit, Lori, PANAMHIEST, and others.

Um I didn't see the story. But no, I doubt they are related. And It's kind of romantic in a way. Each to their own.

But think about it ..... Do you know how many (Jim Smith's) there are? Do you think they are all related? NO!

Face Book Is cool! Each person sets their controls to their likings. You can completely hide yourself from the entire world except your friends if you like. No body can see you if you choose.

Have you checked it out? Or you are just dead set on not liking it?

I think she does have a Facebook, she just doesn't want to add anyone that isn't related to her or something. She talked about it somewhere in another post, I don't know if her feelings have changed on it or not. I know I have mine set where no one can search for me, I have to search for them. Even if you look at Klinkman's profile, it just says he's engaged, but it won't let you find me at all.

[KaciBlakely]

I'm just a private person is all and I'd rather talk on here than on facebook.

I have a facebook for family but not many people are able to find me.

I think my settings are I have to find them too.

I'll take a look though and see about joining the FB Ndn group.

You make me sound like I'm amish Tay! lmfao.

Don't put personal info on facebook.
That info will be there forever. Can you afford to have everyone
that has contact with you to find personal stuff about you. Say a future employer. Might be fun now, but 10 years from now could be embarrassing.
Make up a cyber character and enjoy.

I dont really care.

If they wanna risk it, good luck

[KaciBlakely]

I just don't let anyone search me, and leave everything I want offline, offline.

It's not that hard to still have fun and be a great asset to a forum or anything, like myspace, facebook, twitter.

I just don't need anything too personal getting out to people I don't want it to get out too.

So it doesn't.

Simple solution to me really.

And Ringo is right, I have heard people getting fired for their blogs, myspaces, facebooks, etc.

sounds like junk mail
