I've always wanted a big brother - I only have a horrible sister. I think I'll call him Jack.

If they know when I was going to get the flu the least they could have done is send me an alert! I could have gotten caught up with work before I got sick :) I guess we are not privy to our own information?!?

This is only a drop in the bucket. The government knows much more about you.

I don't find this surprising, but I don't worry too much about it, unless they decided to DO something with that information. And still, they wouldn't know if I am looking for something related to my life, or if I'm searching for something someone else has asked me to search for, or if I'm just doing some research for one of my stories (I'm a writer) or whatever.

There's a point where you just have to trust people, or else nothing would work. The employees at my local supermarket know what I'm eating, my bank has my money in it, my government (I live in Uruguay) has a lot of information about me, and my friends know where I live. C'mon, don't be so paranoid :-)
