PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY ON FACEBOOK - Part 2

(continued from 5/14/12 post)

More ways to stay secure . . .

Turn off Tag Suggest - This disables the privacy setting feature that automatically recognizes your face in photos and deletes the information.

Block apps and sites that snoop - Unless you intercede, friends can share personal information about you with apps.  To block that, use controls to limit the info apps can see.

Keep wall posts from friends - You don't have to share every wall post with every friend.  You can also keep certain people from viewing specific items in your profile.

When all else fails, deactivate - When you deactivate your account, Facebook retains your profile data, but the account is made temporarily inaccessible.  Deleting an account, on the other hand, makes it inaccessible to you forever.

SUMMER FOOD SAFETY - Part 1

Here's how to stay safe:

~ Before touching any food and after handling raw meat, wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.  If they are unavailable, use a sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

~Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables under running water.  Wash melons before cutting and keep them cool as they support bacterial growth more readily than more acidic fruits.

~ Organize picnic coolers.  Put drinks in one and perishables in another.  The drinks cooler might be opened often.  Make sure you have plenty of ice or ice packs.  Wrap raw meat securely and put it in the bottom of the cooler so juices don't migrate.  Place coolers in an air-conditioned car, not a hot trunk.
