My wife was sitting next to me and picked up my phone and was idly scrolling through (yeah, idk why either). She sees my call history and starts laughing, "who are all these guys with the weird names"? 

I previously told her I was on GYE to mentor people, so mumbled that they were guys who were speaking to me for help. 

Meanwhile I was waiting to see if she opened the google voice app (where I do all my gye texting). If I saw she was going for that my plan was to disembowel myself on the couch as a distraction.

God, I hope it's not a velvet couch.

First of all, ew no way. 

Second of all, what do I care what it does to my couch once I'm disemboweled.

As the resident Nudnik, can I ask what tool/technique you were planning on using for the disembowlement?
May you slide down the banister of happiness and get many splinters of success up your career

My ethnicity is Jewish. I would use my wifes sheitel pin. 

I guess we can compare results later

Dude. Bury the google voice app in a subfolder of apps. Labelled “insurance”.

I am very conscious of privacy and safety. I use a separate Google voice account which is hidden in my phones hidden apps section which is only accessible by entering a special code in the phone dialer. Additionally I have a task running that turns off the notifications for Google voice when I am at home so that my wife shouldn't see a notification pop-up for an incoming text. You can usually use a do not disturb routine. Contacts are saved with real names that reference the person using the initials, Like for ChoseMyShem would be Chaim Moshe Sheminov, etc...

However the biggest way I protect other people's privacy is by not being in contact with other people!


As an a side note, it bothers me when I see people sharing every time they meet someone. I'm not sure if the person they met wants you should share that info. For example, I am based in New Zealand and if people know that fact, every time I share I met someone, than anyone can know that the other person is also based in New Zealand. If I really want, I can list out a couple of people based in Lakewood based solely on their interactions. In general what someone shares needs to remain private, including the actual fact that he shared with you.
Ok, rants over, time to go back to my hiding spot.
Since it is the grouchery, you can all blame a certain soldier for waking me up!

I need to know to whom to send the dry cleaning bill. I spit up my coffee all over myself reading this! I picture my wife on my phone next to me, praying she doesn't find something wrong, and as she is about to find something, I preemptively decide to cut off my own balls...LOLOLOLOLOL

Seriously, that was a massive concern for me for many years, and I had good reason to worry. My iPhone was a bottomless pit of smut. I had so much "bad stuff" on my phone that it was disgusting, to say the least. I took the action of just getting a second phone. I got an Android, and that became my "smut" phone. My iPhone was clean, and she could (and did) look at it all the time. That was before I discovered GYE.

The "smut" phone is gone, and my iPhone is clean, but it is on the way out. I NEED it for business; there is no way around it, but I want to separate it from my personal life and keep a flip phone. I am still trying to balance all of this.....any advice is always appreciated...

Now off to change my shirt...

Lm'aase, in the user profile it has the timezone, so everyone can know where you are based. Though its probably not always accurate, עיין שם yours
