Today for no reason at all I thought about my Grandfather and being the Granddaughter I am I once again entered his name into google’s data base system in the hopes that someone finally posted something about his houses (as he was a builder for years). The funny thing is it runs in the family, before my Grandfather my Great Grandfather was building houses. My Dad and his brothers dabbled in it too. Now every one of them does something with building be it guitars or cabinets, fixing houses so on and so forth.
One of my Uncle’s actual guitars.
Somehow this entire endeavor turns into me looking for information of any kind about my Grandfather and since he, his Dad and my Dad all share the same name all the information that comes up is about my Dad then my Mom, then my Uncle, then me. I had no idea there was a site that not only basically listed my families exact whereabouts, phone number, and net worth, but anyone that has lived in his household and is a registered voter. That is disturbing enough, but as some of you might know I have been getting baby magazines sent to the house for some time now. Since I am neither pregnant nor in the market to get pregnant the entire family has thought of this as a fluke deal. The magazines have started to multiply and solicitors are now calling me at my parents’ house to ask if I would like to donate this imaginary baby’s umbilical cord to science. Yes, yes I would… only not yet, wait a few years.
All of this leads me to believe that this site has sold me out, it lists my age, my parents full names and for the small price of $15 anyone can know the exact address, exact phone number, look at my birth certificate, marriage certificate (don’t have one but if I did they could look at it), and I am left to wonder who is this mystery person? My stalker maybe or my ex? I have pissed people off in this lifetime but those tiny pointless jabs seem to be headed straight for my parents. Hey just in case you are wondering Sonya is probably pregnant, or maybe not, just make you think she is. Maybe they are aimed at me, I lost a kid once with my ex and he always blamed me for it. Seems petty to bring it up now, seems pointless since he is married, and maybe it isn’t him, but I just can’t shake the feeling that it is.
