    Oh dear - confession? (totally off topic)

    A friend of mine has recently acquired a computer and was asking me how to use Google and how to search for things.

    I was talking about how much information about us is available, sometimes without our knowing about it, and when she said well what can we find out about you, I wasn't going to do that, so I remembered an ex-boyfriend (and we are talking about someone I haven't seen for over 40 years!) who has a slightly unusual name, so I started googling just to see how much we could find out.

    My goodness, the things I found out! If I weren't an upright and responsible citizen, you could call it stalking! I know where he lives, what he is doing, what he looks like, what one of his daughters looks like, what planning permissions he has requested on his house, what his house looks like (and an aerial view), where he lived before that, what price he got for his old house, what he paid for his current house - the list goes on!

    And because he is on the committee for a local event I knew where he would be this afternoon and could have gone there and found him. (No, I didn't!)

    I am stunned! Just as well I am an upright and responsible person who doesn't go round stalking ex-boyfriends!!!!

    My friend was horrified.

    They say you can find out anything about anyone on the net! I guess it's just about knowing where to look.

    It's like every move you make now is being tracked.You go to shopping centres and you are on cctv.You go into stores and your on cctv.You walk down the streets and your on cctv.

    Even your phone tracks where you are.
    It's a good thing in one way as if anything happened they would be able to trace where you were or are or see who done it.But in another way we have no freedom anymore.

    March 2011 = 11 stone.
    May 2011 = 10st 4lb.
    July 2011 = 10st 5lb.
    Sept 2011 = 9st 13lb.
    Dec 2011 = 9st 11lb
    Feb 2012 =
    9st 10 1/4lb
    March 2012= 9st 9lb
    April 2012= 9st 7.5lb
    May 2012 Here there and everywhere so no weighing.A month off. Been naughty weighed once.



    If it wouldn't look like food to somebody wandering around 40,000 years ago
    in a loin cloth and a spear then it's not food for you now, either!

    I also loved the £25 cheque, and the amusing phone call to confirm the tip! Mum insisted I signed a copy for her....

    That's why we have to be mindful of the personal information that we post in the net. We have to protect ourselves.

    It was a crap tip! The cat kept jumping on the window sill and knocking all the plants off, so I attached an old fridge shelf with hooks and string and stuck them up on that - see, naff!

    Saying that, I'll never forget someone getting £25 for cutting up bacon with scissors....
