LOL Vanessa The joy of the internet and the stat counters etc (and for everyone else's information) when you post a comment, I get your ISP. I know when you visit, and if I care to, can track how often you come etc.
Anyways - I usually can't be bothered. "Real Life" (you know those 4 kids, husband, job and the friends etc) keeps me too busy, but if someone wants to stalk AND post comments it kind of takes the privacy factor out of their picture :).

So you're kinda like Santa? "He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when you are bad or good so you better be good for goodness sake." :))))) Regina

LOL Regina - Really the internet is not so anonymous. For example, if you email a link from my blog to someone, in say Edmonton, and they use that email to link back to my blog here to comment - it shows me that too and the originating isp. If someone is googling me, and links to my blog, it shows me the google search words, etc.

I mean, unless its drawn to my attention, I could not be bothered to check! Do you? I know that because I have commented on your blog you know where I am. :)

LOL! I'm busted too. :) I've pretty much stopped leaving comments because I can never find the time to respond back (we have 6 kiddos now, 5 of them 4 and under, so...). But, I still do obsessively click on people's blogs to see if they've posted anything new. Feeding the leftover addiction serves as a nice stress relief.

I've really missed having the time to keep up with everyone.

I'm a stalker and got busted by you! ha-ha
I've enjoyed reading about your family. I found your blog on someone else's blog, you know how that goes.

wow, I've always found it fascinating how this thing, the computer, realy creates such a bold highway of a trail. There realy is no such thing as anonymity or hiding in plain sight.
Sorry if it was I that caused you concern. I am realy not very good with the computer. And obviously am lacking in computer etiquettte A friend, Di, linked your sight to hers and I have found your writing insightful, inspirational, and very real.

Welcome to my blog Di's friend. Don't worry you are always welcome to read here :-)

This post wasn't addressed to someone random, it was addressed to someone who knows who they are :) as do I.

With over 17,000 hits now there are LOTS of people reading here I don't know, and many I do know. And one or two who thought I didn't know but I did in fact know despite the fact they tried pretty hard to make me not know, if that makes any sense at all.

Not a big deal :) this was just my way of saying hello to them. Maybe next time, if they want to chat, they will email.

Anyways, welcome to my blog di's friend. Hope you enjoy it.

It's a good thing you don't mind my stalking, cause I was going to keep doing it anyway. :) Nope, not posting anywhere, although I really wish I had a place to keep a bit of a record of what's going on in our lives. For instance, today we finally, after almost four years finalized Miss A's adoption! We also finalized on our two year old, so it was a pretty big day for us. I intended to send an update to the Aunties, but I'm too beat tonight. Or maybe I'll have to resubscribe to some of the forums (if I can even find SoA again) and do it that way. Maybe sometime in the next week?

Since you're letting me stalk you, I figure you could be the first to know (plus Regina, if she happens to check back *waves* just in case).

Anyway, I've enjoyed cathing up with what's going on with your family and hope to return the favor sometime soon.
