    I put mainly first names in except for ones that are duplicates, then put more info for those - like (glass guy) or (xxx's friend). For couples I may put both first names or nicknames. And I don't allow Facebook access to my contact list.

    We use the GPS to find home every time we go to a strange city. It tells us how to get out of town and to the highway that will lead us to our house. Once we are on a familiar road, we don't need it anymore, but it sure is handy to find the way to familiar.

    On a slightly different topic, be sure to check you credit card bills. On Saturday I noticed a big charge, $500+, at a somewhat local Walmart. Neither my DH or I had ever been in there and he still had his card in his wallet. He called and had the charges removed. The number used was his. He will be getting a new card via Fedex today. We can't figure out how someone got his number and I guess, his pin #. It is essential to check you bills!!! He uses the card for business, so I don't always know about every charge, but I always ask.

    Since I know where I live, I used the police department as my home address in my GPS, so if it is stolen, they will arrive to a place they really needed to go in the first place
