AK Jeff, I believe your Stalker was not a Cyber Stalker, because he/she had details about you that would be available though the internet, correct me if I am wrong.

We had a little excitement yesterday. I was doing some rewiring in the garage. I was pulling out the old wires to replace with new. I old wire was under sized for the breaker and could have been a fire hazard. I turned off the breakers to the outlets that I was rewiring, disconnected the wires from the breaker and was pulling them out of the panel, when the bare ground wire hit the power buss, this instantly melted the wire and plastic insulation, starting a fire in the wall. I ran out to the panel and turned off the main, smoke was coming out of the panel. I ran back into the garage and fire was coming out of the hole in the wall, where the outlet used to be. I ran in to the house and grabbed a fire extinguisher, yelling to Barbara to call 911, 6:29 PM. I returned to the garage and emptied the fire extinguisher into the hole in the wall. When I finish with the fire extinguisher and the fire appeared to be out 6:32 PM. I asked Barbara to call 911 back and tell them that the fire was out. We argued for a couple minutes, until I convinced her that it was no longer an emergency and she call them back to tell them that the fire was out 6:35 PM. I fire department showed up at 6:42 PM. The things that I learned from this are, 1. Never pull wires to or from the panel with the main breaker on. 2. If you have VOIP have a UPS on your cable/dsl modem and router, I did and had just replaced the batteries last week, if I didn't Barbara couldn't have called 911, I would have had to and I was busy putting out the fire. 3. Replace the batteries in all smoke alarms, the two in the area did not go off. 4. Have at least 1 fire extinguisher on each floor, I am buying more today. 5. You can't depend on the fire department to put out a fire, 13 minutes to show, (I am about 1.5 miles from the closest fire station.) If I hadn't put out the fire, I would be homeless today, they should have been there before we called to tell them to tell them the fire was out (6 minutes). I the fight of flight, I chose the fight, kept a cool head and saved the house. The new project for this weekend is to open up the wall and see how much damage the fire did. Thanks for listening, have a good day and be safe. Philip

What was your earliest memory of being a witness?

I promised that my life was an open book.

Here goes, I was about four and didn't want to go in the field service. We are in this apartment building, I wait until we are at door and the person answers and then I stood there and peed my pants. That didn't get me out of the field service, I got to finish with wet pants. I never tried that again.

Sorry, guys, it was late or early when I posted this, 4:36 AM PDT.

What I was trying to say was. Does anyone know of any Stalkers or been a victum of a Stalker.

The "I am not a stalker. " was an attempt at humor, with the sunglasses you can't tell who I am, can you?

Why I was a lurker for so long: because english is not my mother tongue

i often write on the swedish board for ex-jw: http://www.network54.com/forum/349340/.

it's so much easier for me to write in swedish.

it takes a lot of effort to find the right words in english.. i understand most of what i read here, but it means more hard work to try to express my thoughts in english.. anyway, i finally wanted you all to know that i appreciate this board.

Madame, welcome to JWD.

I have read some posts and had some PMs, that I could not decipher, you are doing great, keep up posting, it will get easier. Being a high school dropout, actually never attended high school, dropped out after 8th grade, 13 years old. It takes time; but, it does get easier. Philip
