Definitely a "tween" thing to do. I could recognize at least 2 of the voices and they were a couple of girls I really liked who were hated by my master teacher, but who I had taken under my wing and protected to a certain extent (as much as I was able) in the face of the awful temper of the master teacher.<br /><br />I remember that my sister and her best friend used to call random names in the phone book. Sometimes when I was very young (less than 10 years old) and home alone because I was a latch-key kid before they invented a name for it, I used to carefully lift the phone off the hook and see if any of the people on our party phone line were having a conversation. If they were, I'd listen. I never was caught that I know of. For those of you too young, there used to be "party" lines which were shared by as many as 4 families. Only one could make a call at a time, so out of courtesy, calls were very short and succinct, such as setting a time and place to meet. Our phone number was 2 letters and a 4-digit number Am-7991. The AM stood for Amherst. No area codes were used as long distance was done by a human operator. No answering machines either.Sunny CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451116932556227816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-293277653086496902010-09-17T22:40:39.710-04:002010-09-17T22:40:39.710-04:00I seem to have some memories of being a middle sch...I seem to have some memories of being a middle schooler who made prank phone calls to teachers with my friends and erupted into high-pitched giggles.

As soon as I got the first FaceBook "friending" from a student in my new school, I made my site completely hidden from view and eliminated all acquaintances as "friends" leaving just family. When I was student teaching 8th graders a group of girls kept phoning me (as a group). One would say something stupid and the whole group would explode in high-pitched 13-year old giggles. It was kind of cute, but I still felt invaded to a certain extent because they had found my phone number and hence also knew where I live. I also, while on a long-term sub assignment (the next year) was the victim of a prank FaceBook page. One of the students snapped a photo of my overly-ample butt when I bent over to get supplies from a bottom cupboard presumably with a cell phone. The photo was posted and kids then posted nasty comments below my picture. Middle-schoolers are so cruel.Sunny CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451116932556227816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-75770596167189052882010-09-17T15:32:03.655-04:002010-09-17T15:32:03.655-04:00Roy, your link doesn't show up well.
1. Jane...Roy, your link doesn't show up well.<br /><br />1. Jane: I do what I do when Roy asked me to be his LinkedIn contact: ignore it. I'm not on LinkedIn.<br />2> Marcie: Return the message and thank her the kind words and tell her I'm glad to hear things are going well. I'd also tell her that I'm not allowed to Friend patients or former patients. The risk management attorney at the hospital where I am on staff has flatly said "Don't Friend your patients." I have a feeling that the Risk Management staff are busy with other things today--- they didn't have a good day yesterday.<br /><br />3. John: I'd do nothing about it online but might mention it in a session.<br />4. Mary: I would thank her for the link and ask her about the material. I would also let her know that I'd like her to talk about this in treatment and it might be more than I could do to read daily blog posts.<br />5. I don't chat on line with patients. I do have a friend who is a wonderful shrink who had a bad rating put up about her by an anonymous patient (she doesn't know who). She did nothing.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-13859416160408526752010-09-17T13:27:17.583-04:002010-09-17T13:27:17.583-04:00oh that's easy.

Some girls and guys in the group added me on facebook, when the therapists said "NO FRIENDING >>> GROUP IS NOT ABOUT FRIENDS!" ... I didnt friend them, but they friended each other. <br /><br />The only proffessional relationships I've friended were teachers from long ago who are now on a mutual relationship with me (still weird not to call them Mrs lastname though). <br /><br />I have sent personal messages of thanks to certain doctors/nurses/teachers/professors who I encounter only once in a crisis or special talk/class/lecture but I never friended them. I hope that is appropriate, it seems it is because they reply back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
