Stop Cyber Bullying
You thought bullying only happened in school, right? Well, welcome to the internet world where jerks hide behind proxies and anonymous comments to prey upon women. Yes, this is really happening.
I am not writing this to scare anyone. I think the majority of people on the internet mind their own business. It is the minority of people out there that are making some of our lives miserable. I am not sure if you have heard the story of Kathy Sierra. If you haven’t, please click the link. Yes, that is really happening.
Good Morning America did a short piece on cyber stalking this morning. See it here:
To me, it seemed more a fluff piece than anything, but I guess that is how you bring it to the nations attention. You start slowly. Kathy Sierra was interviewed for this. My friend Kat was also. She has had a cyber stalker for the past 5 years. Yes, 5 years and the authorities will not do anything to help her. He has threatened to turn her into Child Protective Services, threatened her, threatened her children, called her father a pedophile, and I could go on and on. I will not publish the site that he runs, because I do not want to drive traffic to him. However, in reviewing his site, I found several of my other online friends on there. One of them took down her blog last night due to finding herself on his hit list (she did put it back up this morning). There is also a piece written by the Washington Post which explains the situation much better.
I wish I could say I am not afraid of this type of behavior. In the internet world today, you can locate anyone (see privacy post below). With a new baby on the way, I don’t need this kind of crap in my life. I luck out. I have not become a target (yet). I would love to say that I would stand up to these a$$holes who do this. However, if my life and my kids lives are being threatened, I think I may do what Kathy did and pack my bags and close my blog. I give Kat a ton of credit for putting up with crap for 5 years now.
We cannot allow these creeps to do this to others on the web. I ask that all of you put the ribbon that Beth created on your site. Blog about this. The only way this is going to stop is if people take a stand and make these lowlifes realize that this is not acceptable! Or use this one:

Happy Mothers Day!!
Happy Mothers Day!!
Let’s see. My morning started with Madison jumping on me tellling me to get up. Her daddy was making his Sunday morning special (french toast). It actually didn’t rain today, so he finally made it outside and mowed the lawn. Then we went to Grandma’s and spent the day over there. Bill got me a card from Madison. That’s it. And for Bill, that’s good. I usually don’t even get a card. When he does good, it usually does good. When he does bad, I don’t get anything at all, so I can’t be too picky. As I am typing this though, my wrist is breaking out in hives. Not good. Now I have to figure out what I touched to cause it.
I finally finished Madison’s new bedroom. Hopefully, I can get some new pictures on here with out, so you all can see my hard work. It’s purple. I did a stencil border in the middle of the room and up toward the ceiling also. On the bottom portion of the room, I did paint stamps that were in the shapes of flowers and butterflies. On the top portion, I put up Tinkerbell stickers. It looks great. We moved Madison in there on Friday night, and its been interesting ever since. She’s not liking being in the room alone.
Ok, I’ve gotta go find some Sudafed before I go crazy itching. See ya later.
