[Modoasis] I have big time fear of the phone

[Guest guest]

Hey, guys. I guess some of you also have shell shock regarding the

telephone. Well, my daughter's confirmation sponsor had called and

left a message for her to call him back regarding the email she sent

him. She had sent him an email stating she was not jumping for joy

that his daugher and her cousin had been taking care of the mini

horses and even took them to show, all without telling my daughter

(who is their age). she was not mean to him in his message at all.

Well I encouraged her to go ahead and call him because I thought he

was a nice, gntle man. I mean daughter about had an anxiety attack

before calling him. Finally she did and it did not turn out that

great. He just ended up saying his daughter helped because grandnada

could not take care of the horses herself because she is not able to

bend over to shave them, and that homeschoolers also went over there

to take care of her yard because he had heard that grandnada's

husband was not helping her much. He also made of of those

statements: " Sorry your feelings were hurt BUT " Dang! I hate it

when people do that. He also said that grandnada is hoping my

daughter will reconcile with her so that daughter will be the one to

show the horse at nationals in the fall (talk about major blackmail

setup. These people are pawns and can't figure it out yet?) I think

it's ridiculous.

It just goes to show you we know why we don't answer phones or call

people much. Needless to say, I restrained myself from chewing him

out but I did send him an email stating what's going on - that I had

to take my daughter out of an abusive situation, not physical but

otherwise (you know how seriously people take that one, huh?) and

that my dad left for 2 weeks after being severely harassed and I told

this man I bet he did not know about that part.

well, daughter does not know I know, but she sent a gripe email to

the other girl who showed the horses and was helping to take care of

them. Now this particular girl was warned by my daughter's friend

that grandnada is nuts and that this girl should not get involved

with taking care of Katrina's horses. Well, the girl did not listen

and just said she had to get off the phone. I sent an email in May

to that girl's motehr just asking " Is ____ really going to my mom's

house to help care of the horses? If so, I was just wondering what

reason my mom gave as it seems kind of strange " No reply. So

daughter emailed and chewed that girl out telling them to stay away

from her horses. Last night while I am working, I see on the ID that

that girl or her mom are calling. I did not answer it. I went into

freekazoid attack mode. They did not leave a message. Same thing

this morning. They call but when my answering picks up they don't

leave a message. I am not going to answer their phone call until

they leave a message so I can know their intentions. Daughter thinks

I should just answer it to see what they want (she has not admitted

to me she sent that email).

I mean, it seems so weird to be a grown adult and absolutely abhorred

of the telephone. There are only very few people I will answer the

phone for if I know it's them calling. Everyone else has to leave a

message so I can screen it. but I get all kinds of physical and

emotional ill reactions when I see somone calling in who is not

welcome to or who is possibly wanting to tell me a thing or two. I

guess they have to drive all the way over here if they have anything

to say.

Even then, get this, I am having a peepscope put in my door instead

of a peephole so that I can see who is in my yard from almost 10 feet

away from the door. Boy, it sounds so paranoid, but that's the way

it has to be
