Guest guest Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 What the bleeping bleeping bleep? I got a email from LinkedIn, saying fada wants to add me as a connection. Why the bleeping hell does he want to add me?? It had no extra message, other than the generic LinkedIn one. He's coming out with a new book, something about leadership for homeschooled teens. bwahahaha. More like his leadership is full of coercion. threats. and fear. One of his " specialties " listed on there is parenting. Riiiiiiight. I'm both angry and fearful and just filled with....swear words. And I thought I had LinkedIn locked down as much as Facebook, but now he knows where I work. Well, the university police department can take care of him if he ever shows up---two states and 500 miles away. I was just FINALLY moving forward, finally accepting not much can be done for my siblings right now, finally realizing that I am in effect an orphan. And now this. Well, counseling is tomorrow afternoon, so good timing, I guess. Just venting. there's no other contact. no messages. Just this LinkedIn invitation that I can click " ignore. " But I'm going to let it sit for now as I ponder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 that is sooooooooooooo annoying. I can empathize. for whatever reason I just don't want my identity online. I have a youtube account and a dummy facebook with no friends but that is it. I don't particularly want my family knowing what I do online, which is very little, but it just creeps me out to think they might glean *any* info they don't already know about. When I had an actual facebook my mother seemed fascinated with the fact that I had 'friends' that were not family, as I had it locked down and didn't add any of them and had them blocked for a long time. It was almost as if she didn't believe it possible that I had friends she didn't know about. I try to keep it so there are no suprises from them online, and I know how it feels when they happen. > > What the bleeping bleeping bleep? > > I got a email from LinkedIn, saying fada wants to add me as a connection. > > Why the bleeping hell does he want to add me??

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 As a friend on FB said (I have *that* locked down severely), it could be that fada wanted to add me in as a connection on LinkedIn to help promote his new leadership book.That way it looks like we're a normal happy family, and fada can say he raised two leaders, look at how they're doing, one's an assistant manager of a grocery store and the other's working at a prestigious university library. I will probably just delete the invite--we'll see I get any emails from fada or dishrag nada wondering why I won't " friend " my dad on LinkedIn. Also, DH and I are going to be reading through his new book and seeing if he talks about me at all. If it says anything slanderous, DH and I are going to be using a lawyer to contact the publisher and asking them to remove whatever passage. I knew he was sorta working on it when he disowned me, but the vast majority of it was written and edited during and after he disowned me. So, it would be really creepy if he said, " look at how I raised Holly to be a leader! " Eff you fada. Sometimes I just want to kick his balls. Still won't be enough pain to compensate for all the pain he caused for me and my siblings.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Oh crap - I am on Google + now and I thought it was safer because of the circles. SHIZ thanks for the wake up call!!! I need to keep locked down. Actually I'm about the least locked down person. . . but I am a little. I've stayed away from twitter for that reason And I third that emotion - trust your instincts and don't add. I had to get a new number this week - but the bright side is that my nada and fada and bada will never ever ever have it.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I know I am probably being too loose about Google +, and I'm hoping I'll feel motivated this week to make sure I lock it down from her, but I figure, she's not trendy at all, so it won't get under her radar for at least another 6 months to year.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 afldancer and Girlscout, I remember reading somewhere about Google+ deleting all the profiles set to " private " sometime this summer. I can't be 100% sure that's what I read, but I will try to find the article as soon as I get my computer working at full speed again and let everyone know. 'Cause, ideally, I would do a locked down G+ profile, but seems like Google made a Facebook with the privacy of Twitter. That's the whole reason why I dropped off of Twitter in the first place! > ** > > > I know I am probably being too loose about Google +, and I'm hoping I'll > feel motivated this week to make sure I lock it down from her, but I figure, > she's not trendy at all, so it won't get under her radar for at least > another 6 months to year.
