You would be surprised at the mass amount of information Google, Facebook etc. is tracking whether with a brower or not. Every website you go to, every facebook like and friend , every purchase you make is being tacked and it is not anonymous. Ever wonder why certain adds pop up on your screen and how the seem to match what you were searching for yesterday. If you want to stay private, stay off the internet period. As for apps, I only let ones that have a legitimate reason to know where at am. Mapping apps, travel apps like TripAdvisor , my astronomy apps etc. anything else, no you can't have my location. On the IPad you can review these settings later and turn them on and off. But don't let that fool you, the trackers can use cookies and your IP address, network provider etc to narrow down pretty well we're you are located. And of course your cell phone always knows where you are as does the wifi in your car.

PammyFay said, "Also, I'm working on a computer 8 hours a day at work, a few hours when I come home to check forums and things, so I think that for my eyes (I have to see an ophthalmologist 2x a year because there's high pressure), a traditional book is best." My husband has glaucoma, which is high pressure in the eyes. The "problem" with glaucoma is that you do not feel that extra pressure, which is why it's so important to have your eyes tested every year. And, yes, he sees an opthalmologist who specializes in glaucoma three times a year. My husband loves to read, as do I. I read a lot of novels and other fiction, he rarely reads a novel or any fiction. We both love our Kindles and my husband states emphatically that reading a "real" book is not easier on his eyes than reading his Kindle.

Very similar to Craigslist but local to your area. I didn't know there were services, I was browsing the general for sale items. I have never tried any of them, there's a LOT of them I keep seeing them on TV ads. Like the let go app. Ilike nextdoor for finding out things happening in the neighborhood. Today someone posted about dog napping! Some guy in a pick up truck with dog crates in the back stealing dogs out of backyards. A few days ago there was a post about breaking in to cars at night. It is great for lost pets. I was hesitant about it at first but it has been beneficial especially with the flood situation.

Thank you all! I will use my phone to send my icon to others, thanks Raven. All the rest, I will delete this app. I am not sure how I got the app on my phone. I do have all the GW forums saved in my search engines. So I'm good to go there. Its just when I want someone to find GW, I've been telling them its part of Houzz. Everyone know Houzz it seems, so thats what I reference. I will stop telling them its part of Houzz and just tell them to search Garden Web in their browser. I don't know what I would be like these days if it wasn't for GW, LOL. It has been so helpful, kind, and motivating. Sometimes over these last 6 or so years, it has been a real stabilizing part of my life when I've needed a port in the storm.
