You, searching for me by name....

-
I have to admit it kinda CREEPS me OUT... FREAKS me out... when someone from (one of) my hometowns shows up on my blog.... (I don't tell people I blog...)

What is even creepier, FREAKY-ER... is when you search for me by my
entire name....& social security number....
(not really my ss#... but my last name...like how do you know that?) maiden name..yes... but married name.. hell, Norwegians can't even spell it...


DING DING DING... you found me...

I guess blogging & being in the witness protection is NOT a good combo?!

YOU..from Silver Springs MD...looking for me... SHOW YOURSELF!..
(Ok now I am picturing myself like some zit faced World of Warcraft Player...)

Seriously... if you know me just say HEY Tree! Cool blog.(unless this is crazy x-boyfriend from college...EEK..).
searching for me with everything but my thumb print kinda makes me NERVOUS...

Ciao Chica's

I swear it was not me even though I show up as being in that area when I visit your blog.

That is so creepy and I would be freaking out!

Kind of creepy if this person has your social security number...

I've had people looking for my colleagues on my blog -as well as for things like: pooping log lady, poop lady, Quirky girl..??

Um, how did they get your SS#? That alone is terrifying in this day and age. Here's hoping your stalker reveals themself.

I think I show up from a different town then where I am actually when I go to your blog. Odd. Maybe it's something like that.

Ewwwww, creepy!!!! It's a good thing you're far, far away from Silver Spring, MD!

Oh, and to answer your question, I have a Nikon, but tweak the photos a bunch after- the contrast, color balance etc. Thanks though, I feel like I'm a pretty shitty photographer most of the time! :)

hope you are going to report it to social security!! or investigate what you can/should do about it - If I would be in your place I wouldn't just let it pass, because this person maybe trying to intimidate you, OR it's a scam...

Oh freaky! Definitely freaky!

I don't think non-bloggers realize we can SEE how people arrive at our blogs (and from where!) I hate when I get pervy traffic...I always go erase the phrase from my blog that someone disturbingly searched.

Oooh, that is freaky. This is why the whole tracking thing kind of freaks me out...do I really want to know how people are finding me?

I did a search on my me and there is a list of all my addresses out there. TMI!

That's exactly why I Don't do Facebook or myspace. You give up even more info on those sites than you do on blogger typically.

We moved from Frederick, Md down to the back of beyond Az 1 1/2 yrs ago! One more thing...

Btw, ya want us to string em up?!

Have you read the blog Rubber Slippers in Italy? http://rubbahslippahsinitaly.blogspot.com/ She lives there and on the left side of her blog has a list of all the travels/hiking/dining/festivals she has attended. You might like to look it over while considering your travels.

I just googled you and you have a ton of listings. I'm surprised how much you show up via facebook - weird!!

That is freaky. I mean, I know loads of US sites have "background info" on people, if you have their name. Try searching for a phone number on switchboard.com for instance, and then all of a sudden you're offered unlisted phone numbers and addresses. I find it scary that they are able to get change of address details from post office records etc. Norway is quite open about stuff too, but there's a limit - unlisted phone numbers are just that, unlisted!

Wow Treesa, that's creepy. How did you find out that they were looking for you? If I google myself, it doesn't show people looking for me.

I thought someone from work had found my private blog once. That was really creepy.

I kinda freaked out when two specific cities kept showing up on feedjit. Turns out both of my sisters were reading but didn't want to deal with all the malarky of opening an account just to comment. Maybe your "stalker" feels the same way.

that is creepy!
My blog is a scret to the real world to... wich is why I am not up for meeting other bloggers in the near future either. Maybe when I feel more comfertable in my own skin, currenlty my blog is my outlet for it everything I am to ashamed to tell people about.

But how to you know people are googeling you??

I love doing that!! lol I just can never find my old ex's!! I just want to see how their life sucks without me in it.

Oh I do searches on my ex husband and found some lovely photo's with him in an orange jumpsuit and holding a number in his hands! Priceless, I tell ya!

Maybe it's an ex boyfriend from years gone by? I understand why it would freak you out. I also blog under ad alias and wouldn't want people I know reading my blog!

Seriously, why I'm closing my (real name) Facebook account.

WAY too easy to find out info these days.

Also why I don't read my Feedburner account. I know it's there if I want to check it. That's enough.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
