COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - David VanDinter was diagnosed with a hereditary kidney disease when he was 21.“I was active duty, Army, and my sister had been diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease a few years earlier. They found a cyst on my kidney. I did a lot of research on polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and found out it progresses over decades as opposed to years.”So he felt like he had time, felt the invincibility of youth. Life went on as planned with his military career, becoming a nurse, getting married, having kids.When he was 32, the disease made itself a bit more known when David discovered he had cerebral aneurysms.“It’s part of the PKD process,” he told me.But a craniotomy went well and he proceeded through the rest of his 30s and into 40s as normal. He got a master’s degree, toured the globe with his wife, enjoyed his sons.“We had a perfect life everything was spectacular and then all of a sudden it’s taken away from you.”It was as he approached 50 that things started changing.  » Read More

Do you have a friend whose Facebook account is always getting "hacked" or "cloned?" Or does it happen to you?

Who can send you friend requests? If it's set to everyone, people with absolutely no connection to you can send a friend request. Even if you don't accept, they'll still be able to follow you.

It doesn't effectively keep people from finding you. If a friend befriends a hacker, your name will still show up on their friends list.Next, who can see your friends list? Change that from "public." You can choose friends, specific friends, or, and here's what I do: Only me. This protects the privacy of all of my friends by not sharing their information on my Facebook account.  » Read More
