Given that the developers of this application seem wholly uninterested in filtering children and inexperienced users out of their testing pool, I thought it would be prudent to go over some basic rules for navigating social media safely. 1) Never disclose personally identifying information online. Ordinarily this would include one's full name, but Retrospec has made that a moot point by displaying it at all times. Nevertheless, it is important that you keep other information such as your date of birth, home address, and passwords to your online accounts a private matter. 2) Never post anything that you wouldn't want someone to see. You might think you can just delete it, but once something's on the Internet, it's effectively there forever for anyone and everyone to see. Think carefully before you post. 3) If someone on the Internet wishes to meet with you offline, never go alone. Ensure that you have someone with you, preferably a parent or other trusted adult, and ensure that you'll be meeting in a public, well-lit area in open view. Better yet, don't go at all, as not everyone on the Internet is really who they say they are. If anyone has any additional safety pointers, you're welcome to add them to this post.

To help us take our minds off of the recent strangeness, why not take a moment to think about a rose? Tuesday is Valentine's Day, for all you who have been procrastinating buying a bouquet for that special someone. But, is a Rose really the sentiment you want to share? Did you know that there is a whole language of flowers, many of them in fact? Different flowers have different meanings, and getting just the right arrangement can say something truly special to the person that you adore. After all, one of the best ways to show someone that you have a true love for them is with a forget-me-not, not a rose. You wouldn't want to say the wrong thing with your flower choice, would you? Come by Enchanted Blossoms in Tisse and see our Valentine's Day arrangements. Feel free to ask any questions you want about what the flowers you choose say about your love, and we'll help you pick the perfect ones. And if you like, I'll even tell you something about the language of flowers right now.
