Becoming concerned...

The other day, I had some concerns, because someone made a statement that they are not my "stalker," but they agreed with most of what my "stalker" wrote.  I added a tracking device gadget, just so I could see where these comments were coming from. Now I am becoming a bit concerned. I know my blog has become more and more popular without a real reason, the counter that comes with blogspot has me getting 50-60 hits daily...even when I don't add a new blog. I was warned that the tracker might hurt my self-esteem...well, it didn't...actually, it scared me...and at the same time, it seems to have proven my assertion of harassment at my last place of employment before being approved for a disability retirement. Now, I am concerned about the obvious obsession by someone there. Over a month after my last day, I am still having my blog tracked. 20 hits in one night from a suspicious IP Address and 3 hits the next day from the computer where I used to work...or at least the same IP Address as the office computer. I know that no one would have such bad professional ethics as to use office equipment for personal gain...shucks, you could get fired for that.

Okay, so I am a bit of a technophobe myself, and really got this information from someone that knows more than I do about computers and how to find out or verify where information is coming from. Techno sleuth...showed me how to verify an ISP (Internet Service Provider) and go a step beyond to verify an IP Address (Internet Protocol Address). While many people can use a single computer, most computers require that you log on and most businesses have IT people who can verify who signed on to what equipment and for how long.

So, my question at large is this, should I feel threatened by this abnormal behavior on the part of someone who appears to be obsessed with knowing what I am doing every minute??

Like the famous line says: "I'm not paranoid, they really are out to get me."

I really dislike that the tracking device has proven that there is someone so obsessed with vindicating themselves, that they are truly stalking me. On the other hand, it's nice to know that you can actually quantitate someone's dislike, bullying and abnormal behavior with a few simple clicks of a mouse.

I really am glad we are slipping off for a well-deserved vacation on a tropical island...and calling it our honeymoon. I'm also glad that my case has been proven by the perpetrator time and time again...and I have it logged...lol

When we get back, I think I will take this information and go get a restraining order...this type of behavior will not and cannot be tolerated.

Why I had to moderate comments on my blog...lol

Well, my mentally and socially challenged stalker is back...lol
They are without ethics and have so little self-esteem, that they want to attack me, my doctors, the Dept of Labor doctors, my military career, and my family...while hiding behind being anonymous.  So, for my few readers, I apologize for digressing but this needs to be addressed...they commented on a comment on the blog: How can the bids be bogus if the sale was bogus???...

Sorry folks, no pictures today.

This is their comment:

Oh please. Forced disability. ???? You can do everything you ever could do..... just trying to get out of work as always. Your whole career (milatary as well) is defined by the same BS. Your new friends will figure you out soon enough. Your new found attempt at intellect and blog is sorely missing it's mark. You are simple and everyone can see it. A joke. You married someone with more sickness than you.......... go figure. Maybe the $1000 she makes on being an "author" with save you both.

So let's get the record straight. Forced disability: after four years and eight months following my injury, my employer could only find enough work for 45 minutes of an 8 hour day and expected me to sit or stand (since medically I am unable to sit for extended periods), waiting for them to have work within my medical restrictions. I was told that the only place I could do this was either in a small glass room which put me on display as an example for having an on-the-job injury or stuck in a storage area.  Which place would any thinking individual want to be?

"You can do everything you ever could do." Well gee, boss...lol.  I used to be able to pick up and carry my grandchildren without pain...now I can't do that.  And no, it's not because they have grown up, there are still plenty of small ones.  I can't sit for extended periods of time.  I have a loss of grasp in both hands and overall loss of strength.  I have three discs in my neck and one in my low back that are bulged or have moved due to the fall I took while on the clock and doing my assigned duties.

"Just trying to get out of work as always." Sounds like you are misplacing your work ethic upon me.  I have and always will continue to have a good work ethic.  In 10 years and 9 months of punching the clock at that place, I was only late twice.  Unlike other coworkers, when I was done with my work, I clocked out and went home...not waited 20 minutes for the half-hour mark.  Or stretched my day talking with customers because I didn't have a full day's work.  Or cut corners on the job to make it so I could get home early on the long days.  Good hell, I was the only employee on the overtime desired list for seven years...yeah, I'm just lazy.

"Your whole career (milatary as well) is defined by the same BS." First, you can't even spell it. Second, you really don't want to challenge my military career, most of which was spent in line units or doing classified work that I still can't discuss. I was on active duty for almost 12 years, and after the things I saw during the first Gulf War, I just couldn't go on doing that 24/7/365...so I went back to school and graduated with my bachelor's degree at 38 (where's your degree???). I was active with the US Army Reserve, and did an additional tour following 9-11.  Don't talk down my military service or the service of those that didn't return or returned as less than they left (and we all come back changed from war).  You haven't earned that right!  Show me where you have served with honor, show me where you are even brave enough to put your name on a comment.

"Your new friends will figure you out soon enough." A wise man once told me: "You will have many acquaintances, but count yourself blessed if you have enough friends to count on one hand." True friends know you, they want to be your friend with all your flaws and imperfections.

"Your new found attempt at intellect and blog is sorely missing it's mark. You are simple and everyone can see it. A joke." The only joke here is the person that wants to make accusations without proof, that feels they must put others down to pull themselves up, that doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to show themselves and let others know who they are.

"You married someone with more sickness than you.......... go figure" Now, if you know that my wife has been ill recently, that means you are way too close to my family to make those assertions. That is the most chickenshit thing a person can do: to attack someone when they know that person is down.  Either you are a FAKE friend or acquaintance, or you are someone lurking in the shadows of our life sending out all the bad energy you can in the hope of destroying our happiness for your own sick and unrealistic reasons.  I didn't marry her for any reason other than our happiness...so stay the fuck out of it!!  If you are an acquaintance, I would very strongly suggest that you never make this breech of etiquette in my presence.

"Maybe the $1000 she makes on being an "author" with save you both." Once again, you have shown your total ignorance, and absolute lack of knowledge.  Being a writer means that you MUST write...you are wired that way.  Being a good writer means you have talent.  Being a New York-published author means you have enough talent that others notice.  Being a best-selling author, means that you have all the previous, and you caught a break, achieved a following or sold your soul.  Unless you are the last type, there is no real money in being a writer.

So now that you have been exposed as the joke you are, I would suggest that: 1) You either identify yourself so we can all laugh at you. 2) Continue to lurk and raise the ratings of my blog. 3) Get a life.

I will continue to moderate, and will continue to remove comments that are not germaine or that are attacks on myself personally or my family. Doesn't mean that I won't spotlight what a moron you are on my blog. Everyone should get to enjoy your complete idiocy. Why should I have all the fun?

A First!!!

I'm so excited!!! I have my very own first stalker!!!
Sorry I had to change the comments to moderate them...but, that's what happens when you have crazy people following you!
The stalker doesn't seem to realize that each time they view my blog, it becomes more popular, and it gets rated higher on the search engines...so, I have to say, thank you...keep it up.
