There’s a spam in my bulk folder with the subject line “when to stop blogging.” Um. When you want to? When you are making way-too-detail-specific bitch posts about your job, complete with overly informative profile? Or, in the case of my mother, when some weirdo decides that he doesn’t feel like joining to leave a comment, or even just shrugging and saying “oh, well, fuck it, then” but rather LOOKS YOU UP AND LEAVES A MESSAGE ON YOUR ANSWERING MACHINE ABOUT HE HAS GENEALOGY INFO FOR YOU. WAY TO LET OUT YOUR INNER STALKER THERE, PAL. Also…she is the only one with her name in all of the state? Really? Granted, her first name is not a common name, and not the common spelling even when it was more in favor but…the only one? Really?

Somehow I find it easier to believe that he was just creepy on several different answering machines. Because you can’t just leave all the first-initial-only listings off your list. Not if you’re that psycho stalker about passing on your completely non-crucial info.

Not that my mother is stopping with the genealogy blogging, but we did make a point to add her email to the fucking thing, just so folks don’t feel the need to show off their scary quite so loudly.
