stalk·er
'stôk?r/
noun
noun: stalker; plural noun: stalkers
1. a person who stealthily hunts or pursues an animal or another person.
a person who harasses or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive attention.
The above definition of the word stalker I copied from the internet. It was the first one of a long list.
I'm not famous, I'm just an artist and a mother/wife/, a woman who enjoys life and family, friends and neighbors. I am a woman who enjoys participating in certain on-line opportunities. I email, I search, I text, I write, and I usually enjoy my time on the web.
One of the things I do that brings joy to my life is camping. Those of you who knew me as CampInsanity on that other site knows the story.
My sister and I went camping together with our children. We have been camping together for about 30 years and we still do it. Our kids are grown now. A few of the children drop in for a week or a few days, some with the grandkids.
So who is stalking me?
My sister and I were talking about this coming summer on line. When we took down the camp to go home last summer we tossed our old screen (kitchen) tent because it was too hard to set up and take down.
Elaine sent me an email with two links for an easy up screen tent for next summer. We made a decision and bought the tent that is in the advertising at the top of most pages as I travel around myLot. (see the photo above)
Its a bit spooky that my computer is so concerned about what I do on line that they remind me on a daily basis.
Have you been stalked? What have you been doing on-line that your computer will not let you forget about?

Never had a real stalker - I remember camping trips where a girl had a fixation on me and followed me everywhere talking to me incessantly. I used to hide if I saw her approaching

@PainsOnSlate I once hid in a campsite portaloo to avoid her - she was still waiting for me when I came out 20 minutes later

@PainsOnSlate yepperz, i married'im. pitiful, eh? 's fer the cleanin''f yer puter. what browser ya runnin'? if'n 'tis chrome, there's a tool fer that. i use ccleaner myself 'n do such e'ery time i get off'a this dang thingy. really frees up yer memory 'n gets rid'f 'those folks' who tend to benefit from sellin' yer info (where ya been, how long ya stayed, what'cha took a gander't, etc). 'n then, ya run a gremlin getter to make certain ya aint picked'p any hitchhikers.

Yes, I have. I bought some pajamas and it stocked me. Then I bought some Legos and it did again. It was getting to hair pulling time. Luckily I don't buy a lot online.

I get stalked all the time on-line and it is a little annoying, but so far I haven't have a MyLot stalker.
The curious one is from women who start out with the innocent sounding statement "I like you". My profile says I am married, but still you get the approaches, normally after a couple of comments I ignore them and they go away, sometimes I have to unfriend them or ban them.

It your magnetic personality. You either have it or you don't, and you have it!

I've been browsing sites for British foods. One popped up the other day "Visit Great Britain."
Don't mind if I do!

@PainsOnSlate It was because he had a short fuse and that was the first time I saw it. Lucky for me he found a new girl friend and that was that!

@PainsOnSlate I only can get Safari on mine. It's so tough, that I can't do certain things. I did get spam recently on my iPad. I called my carrier. They told me to shut it off. It worked. Humph!

Hello I remember you. I remember all those camping stories you told us about. I know exactly what you mean whatever you buy online , it keeps popping up on your screen. It has happened with house insurance,kitchen cupboards,certain clothes stores. It makes you laugh because you have already purchased these items. You are not going to double up are you.

Isn't it just weird how these things won't go away? Everything we have purchased online has stalked us it seems!
