Random updates.....

.
Well friends and neighbors, I guess it's time to fill in some blanks......

Lets see.... how about starting with the crazy stalker?

I dated her for a month or so.... and broke it off. I'm just not going to have crazy in my life anymore, not after living with it for so many years. I guess what followed was par for the course..... because she turned into a stalker. Cell messages, text messages, email messages.... nothing for a month and then the flood gates opened all in one night.

I got Yahoo to block her e-mail and I had Verizon block her cell number, but it only took her a few days to find a way around that using AIM. I shut down my last blog after she found it, and she began spending hours reading my old posts. Now, every few days, I get a blast of six or eight broken up and jumbled text messages on my cell phone. One set demanding something, the next explaining her latest date in detail.... and I answered none.

Now I see she has found this blog too.... persistent whacko she is. I suppose I should do what the nice state policeman said and look into a restraining order.

M*A said...: I came to your blog via my husband...he reads gunblogs I read milblogs...and everything else. We have a friend, a milblogger, who had to go silent because of a stalker not so affectionately known as CPB (crazy psycho bitch). It's been a little over a year now that she's been quiet. I pray every day it stays that way. I'll add you to my anti-stalker prayers.; October 30, 2009 at 11:41 PM

"Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.

But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please — this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time — and squawk for more!
So learn to say No — and to be rude about it when necessary.
Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.

(This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don't do it because it is "expected" of you.)"
