Just being the mom that I am (and probably many of you out there are too, and probably several dads too), just be sure to everyone who decides to meet an e-mail buddy to put safety first. I've heard many horror stories about people meeting a complete stranger from the internet and having the situation turn bad very quickly. I have no idea what any safety steps are or the right thing to do when meeting someone. I felt pretty good about meeting tinkerbell (if it would have worked out) because we were both staying at AKL and probably would have met out by the crowded pool with both of our families there. But I'm a little more than paranoid when it comes to meeting strangers from the internet. Does anyone have any good advice when it comes to meeting strangers??
