I know everyone has different opinions about this, but the internet is a scary place. It worries me that these beautiful children are identified by name and their location could be pinpointed by someone based on their proximity to you.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you probably have the parents' permission and, like I said, everyone has a different comfort level with this kind of thing. But I just felt like I should say something.Jenn Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443688970619269216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33666188.post-42865615681685677022009-02-03T10:01:00.000-07:002009-02-03T10:01:00.000-07:00Funny, Janette!I can relate to this: I get to use ...Funny, Janette!<BR/><BR/>I can relate to this: I get to use all the really cool names that my husband wouldn't let me name my children.<BR/><BR/>Your hubby didn't agree to that deal? Sheesh.<BR/><BR/>PS ON the writing in the movie Groundhog Day, I completely agree. That is why I think it is one of the best movies.
