Medical Records

Gee, sweet, there is so much we have to fear these days. I tended to think that the hoopla over the government knowing stuff about us was kind of overblown. By that I mean that I am way more worried about what potential employers and landlords, etc. can find out about us. It's a lot!

There is a web site that employers use to check where you have worked in the past. I went to it, once. There were jobs that I had forgotten about that appeared on this site . . . with how much I earned every single week on a given job. There are data banks of info out there that literally know more about us than we remember about ourselves. Someday there is going to need to be laws to constrain this. Or maybe we'll just have to accept that our lives are basically open books to whoever can pay the fees to subscribe to the right web sites.

Like the starter of this thread, I am getting to feel real antsy about what I will put out there for others to know. Easiest rule of thumb is "Don't tell anyone anything." unless you see an over-riding reason to do so . . . AND . . . you can't think of another way around it.
