8/4/2023 0 Comments Just because you re paranoid![]() ![]() “Well, tell your sister that I now know her name, address, and have her background check, if she needs it for anything.” …Apparently, people, you CAN “reply all” on a text message. I guess she replied to all! Can you do that on a text message? Oh wait! Chuck’s getting it now too!” She was joking about my photo of Radford that I texted to you, her and Chuck. “Well, I got a text from her that I’m assuming you put her up to.” Your sister IS so-and-so so-and-so, isn’t she?” “And I just got a text from you – was that meant for me? I don’t get it.” Harassing me while you’re on a date, huh?” “Hey! I was on a date with Chuck – sorry I missed your call.” “Coming from a blogger that’s been harassed and threatened for real, not so funny. See if I try Mom Jeans on with HER ever again. She should know this was NOT funny.Īnd…seriously? After reading my blog this morning, she had texted me the following baby tips addendum of her son:īe sure your child always has the appropriate protective equipment on his head and knees and knows how to sit still and firmly hold the handlebars. She knows some of the cyberspace issues I’ve dealt with. …surely this wasn’t just a really bad joke…and from a FRIEND, too!!Īll of a sudden, I found myself intensely irritated with my dear friend Lydia. Wait a minute…one of my best friends (Lydia, incidentally from aforementioned Mom Jeans fame) is from Sunset, and still has family in Sunset… This time, it came back with a location of Sunset, Louisiana. Found one – high ratings, looked legit – $4.99 for all the information you’d ever want on a person. I searched the internet for a better reverse look-up. But if I’m right and it is an angry stalker of some sort, a text back will only fuel them to harass me further.” “If you’re right and I’m wrong, then a text back would solve the problem. “I’ve gotten lots of texts from wrong numbers before.” Not even the balloon shot.Ĭhris suggested that I text them back, asking if they had the wrong number. Seriously? There is nothing in there that anyone could take as even halfway dangerous. Third order of business: I went back and read my post. Nope… a few Louisiana visitors went to my Mom Jeans post, but that hardly warrants my arrest. Next step: I searched my entire blog’s stat logs for the day: had anyone been on my blog from Lafayette and read Baby Tips? If so, I’d have their IP address. I don’t know anyone in Lafayette, Louisiana. No name – a cell phone from Lafayette, Louisiana. ![]() I started by using reverse look-up on the phone number. Why wouldn’t they just send me a threatening email?” But still…how did they get my cell phone number? Nobody would go to that much trouble for a joke. No one that is serious uses four exclamation points.” “But look!! They used four exclamation points. “If it had come from a number I knew, sure – but not from an out-of-state one. “Are you sure someone isn’t just joking with you? Some people have weird senses of humor.” I told him what had happened and showed him the text. Not because I was scared of DCS (I was thinking it was more of an empty threat to scare me), but because I was upset that someone would think I was being careless with my children.and also, how could they have found my cell phone number?!?Ĭhris came in the room. (I am, apparently, easily misunderstood when taken out of context.) Then some of the things that have happened in the past began flooding into my mind. Surely I didn’t have some wacko person that found my post and actually took me seriously, thought the photos endangered my child, and called DCS. Then I remembered: I had posted my Baby Tips post that morning. What’s DCS? Parent of the year? Huh?ĭCS, DCS, DCS… Department of…Child Services?!? “Parent of the year award goes to you!! DCS will be visiting later tonight!!”Īt first I was puzzled. It was from a number I’d never seen before, out of state, and all it said was, ![]() Or at least that’s what my Dad used to tease me with during the days of my overly-suspicious youth. …doesn’t mean they’re not really out to get you.
