Of COURSE they are!
I knew when we took a 'field trip' to earn our Girl scout Fingerprinting Merit Badge at the local PD wayyyy back when, something just gave me a "Book 'em, Danno" Hawaii 5-0 vibe...
Then, when my daughter's GS troop visited the Spy Museum in D. C, I just KNEW I was being 'monitored.' ...well...that and the fact that our family has been directly enlisted (minimum of one for each generation) in four branches of military dating back to the revolutionary war (took about 5 yrs of digging to get all the names). My sons are the 11 generation.
I'm fully aware that "Lexa" is listening, my phone is tracking, my monitor is watching, and my freezer is defrosting (power surge 🙄).
We were assigned Cntgx badges (not sure if I spelled out the full name, whether it would trigger a virtual slap on the wrist and remove my comment altogether) for "emergency usage" in my school system.
It monitors us as to where we are inside of the building.
I deliberately remove mine when I go to the restroom... Even though the trainer vehemently stated that it does not track us inside of the building...
Then why is it in writing that it tracks us inside the building to provide specific immediate assistance inside of the building??
Somebody, apparently, hasn't read the handout 🤔
And don't let me get started on the Ariel humming that I continuously hear outside...drones all over...

Sometimes, if I get a call and think it's someone I'm expecting, I'll answer (like my dr or nurse)
If they say my first name or ask for me, I immediately ask who's calling, before I say "speaking" or "this is she."
If they continue without telling me who they are, I immediately interrupt and I tell them you "may be" on a recorded line.
If it's legit, they will usually continue,
because my doctor usually is on a recorded line anyway.
But if it's some kind of random person trying to sell me something, they'll usually hang up. Sometimes I'll say we have a bad conn--and hang up.🤪
I don't usually have to entertain too many of those calls because most people are in my contacts.
But for the rare occasion that I do get them, or they slip by, the "you may be on a recorded line" usually gets them to leave me alone and then I can block the number.
Seems like a lot, but I'd rather do that than keep letting it get me angry and possibly miss an important call. (And there aren't too many since my remission, but when I had various doctors and appointments with techs and schedulers calling, it cut down on the trash calls.
My MIL used to blow a whistle or an airhorn, but I'm too cheap to buy one. Sounds fun though 🤣
I still find it extremely strange that we can see the rings around Saturn as if they're on our own ceiling but the surveillance on an alleged criminal 20 feet from TEN cameras walking out of a store resembles Oscar the Grouch in a hoodie that NO ONE can ever make out!🙄
Lastly, I set up a credit carma account because I can check my account and any possible accounts that have been opened in my name on a daily basis and it won't affect my credit rating. The annualcreditreport. Com only allows one free report per year and by the time you get access to it, if you pay for another report, someone could have opened up several accounts in your name.
I know there are also credit monitoring sites, that come with bank accounts, but even those are not as accessible all the time.
I would rather be proactive and check it myself rather than wait for them to catch a breach
I also Google my name occasionally to see what may be connected. One of the reasons I refuse to go back to my maiden name (it's a very common name) is because there is a woman serving life (but we all know 'life' may not be 'life') in upstate New York somewhere with the same first and my maiden name. The last thing I need is to be picked up if she breaks out. (Regardless of the fact she's a different race, I take nothing for granted) 😮
Gotta stay as vigilant as possible.
