Normally, I'd say that I don't have serious control issues. Or maybe I just know so many people with worse control issues. (This is me waving and smiling and not mentioning any names...)
But Wendell and I have decided to add an additional filter to our computer after the 5-year-old and 3-year-old found a surprisingly indecent picture very accidentally. This filter is called K9 and... I LOVE IT! Best of all, I love the level of control I have.
I now have all Google images blocked (this is where the offending photo was found), I have all the game sites blocked and I can block any other site at any time I want. BWAH HAHAHA! CONTROL!!!
Do you have teenagers? You can block Facebook. Then, with your password, you can override it for yourself for a certain amount of time or allow the kid on for, say, 30 minutes, then buh-bye. When time's up they are kicked off the site.
You can even set the computer to bark every time a blocked site is attempted to be accessed!
And I almost forgot--you can also set time frames that the internet can't be accessed. I have "Night Guard" to shut things down from midnight to 6:30 AM, but you can shut it down anytime, any day.
I am so in love with it--I would kiss it if I could. I am seriously having a control high right about now.

That's the same program we use, and the only one we recommend to others. It's the best one!!
Better safe than sorry!
Happy blogoversary :)
