LOL you guys! Ok, here's the thing, I don't do the Investigative stuff as a full time job right now--just the Paralegal part. I still take some jobs on occasion, but nothing to complex or time consuming as I do have a 9-5 job.

Yeah, Shiny--H was crazy to even think he could be slick. I don't think he quite realized just how strong my (can't think of what else to call it) 6th sense is. He knows I have done some investigative work. I never told him a great deal about that kind of work that I do, because it can be dangerous and I knew he'd worry too much. He also doesn't know all that much about the tools of that profession:

Talitsa opens her bag of work tools: parabolic listening device that can pick up conversations going on 150 yards away, check; Voice activated 45 hour digital recorder the size of a bic lighter which can also double as a telephone recorder to pick up both sides of phone conversations, check; telescopic 3rd generation infrared night scope, check; CD full of software that sits undetected on a computer, takes snapshots of activity every 3 seconds, logs every keystroke, logs every website visited, logs BOTH sides of chats as well as incoming/outgoing emails--and sends all of this information to the email of your choice (btw, this can, if modified, be sent and installed on a remote computer--but it's illegal to do so "without permission", check; various disguises that can make me look like an old lady, a pregnant woman or even a cable guy with a mustache and goatee and a uniform that says my name is Bob, check; pinhole camera with wireless transmission, check; and gee do you think this old handheld scanner can pick up cell phone conversations once you figure out the right frequency of the cell phone you want to monitor???? Naw...that would be illegal in the US....

I even have done some experimenting with making latex masks for some of my friends in the business. I got a "life mask" of Angelina Jolie on ebay, did a life mask of my friend and then combined the to by injecting adhesive latex between them to give her a custom fit mask!

BTW Pam, those internet search programs are a complete joke. You have to use one of the ones I use that people in my profession/attorneys/repo-men can subscribe to (proof required). It's a pay-per-search thing and very good. The only problem is that you can also pick up other people with the same name in the search so you have to figure out who's information goes to the right person. Finding a birthdate is VERY easy.

I didn't do much snooping in terms of XOW after the initial week. I did as much as I could without setting off alarm bells and taking up too much of my work time.

P.S. Deliciously evil plans have begun. I just ordered some spraypainted black roses to be delivered to XOW at work. The card reads: "Consolations on your failure. Stick to single guys cuz payback sucks!"

Next week, I'll send her a picture of a Pendleton blanket and an invitation from a group of Indian women to an upcoming Pow-Wow to honor her with a "blanket ceremoney".

Yeah, I may get some questions...but let's not forget...we are the third couple THAT I know of that she's done this to! It's not a matter of if someone would want to harrass her, it's a matter of figuring out WHICH po'd Indian woman is doing it.
