Re: Re: paranoia

[Guest guest]

You what gets me about the whole paranoia thing....is that, if they are such

angels (as only they know they are)  what's there to be paranoid about?  What is

it in their sacred lives that is worth all the time and effort of other people

snooping into?  Also, the irony of it all...my nada accuses people of looking at

her 'records' and 'papers' only to send them out to people the next day! 

AND...I think a lot of the paranoia comes from the fact that they themselves are

not to be trusted.  For example, searching your name on the internet...they are

the boundary crossers and privacy violaters and that's why they believe others

do it.....ARG!

Re: paranoia

Yes! Phone tapping, people watching her, Dad and I plotting against

her, grocery store items being put on sale for dastardly reasons,

and finally only wanting to put mail in the mailbox that sat outside

her bank because she felt it received more official handling. We

could pass a hundred mailboxes, but that was the only one she would

use.

ps - look out for the black helicopters over your house .
