Very sorry for your troubles, there seems to be so many people that forget we are all just people, more alike than not.<br />Wishing you a sunny day there!Anitahttp://thebloominbasket.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176295394229792526.post-79981534295299389632009-06-25T08:27:52.238-04:002009-06-25T08:27:52.238-04:00Good for you, girlfriend!
Now you know why I us...Good for you, girlfriend! <br /><br />Now you know why I used a pseudonym on-line. I had a stalker years ago and decided that was not going to happen again.<br /><br />I'm not on Google. Maybe because I don't use my name publicly, and/or I changed my name when I got divorced. My married name is so early in on-line social things that when it's googled, none of them are me. Even the pseudonym I used way back then is being used by someone else.<br /><br />I think it's borderline rude to bring up politics during a family dinner or in a group you've just met. Someone tried Obama bashing at our knitting group's first meeting. Fortunately she was someone that just repeated stuff she heard someone else say, and I being a politic junkie since the election, handed her seven sentences showing her "the other side" and she shut up not having any information to back herself up on. Other than dominating every conversation she's in with her own stuff, she's not as annoying...

I googled both my Maiden and married name and found so many people with my name scary.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07260472921229855667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176295394229792526.post-88628082539333257342009-06-24T16:36:15.476-04:002009-06-24T16:36:15.476-04:00I'm sorry people were sending you 'testy&#...I'm sorry people were sending you 'testy' emails. Whew ! Gotta be careful these days. I just recently got rid of a blog-stalker or at least I hope I've gotten rid of the stalker.

As I did for his predecessors. Which is true.<br /><br />I did not add that I think his immediate one did horrifying, horrifying things in my name as an American and that I prayed for him in spite of what he was doing, not because of it. <br /><br />But the thing is, I never got another forwarded email from there. I like to think I got the person to think with more compassion. If that helps stop the spread of those poisonous emails...I can only hope.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176295394229792526.post-8748558328342834862009-06-24T11:19:07.274-04:002009-06-24T11:19:07.274-04:00Well, I jusy Googled my name, just my kennel name ...Well, I jusy Googled my name, just my kennel name and the breeders of my first show dog were listed and facebook.<br /> I'm getting so I just don't open or forward them any more.

(That doesn't sound good, does it? LOL!) Not much on the Net. A reference to Facebook & a church reference. I either live a dull life or a non-existing one!
