Only 23 more ads have come in since last I ranted. Looks like the spam artists have had a slow night.
Making up for that, though, I notice that in one of my hotmail accounts that 111 little pieces of spamitis have come in today. That’s a little over the usual count, so I guess it evens out.
As for monstergue’s comment regarding penis enlargement … were I to sign up for that one, it would confirm my ex-husband’s suspicions, I suppose.
A riddle for you: What to the internet and a rush hour highway have in common? Answer:Because some people see no need to use common courtesy and respect when on either one. I’m helping out the local no kill spay shelter again this Saturday. A radio station is having an “adopt a stray” day, and…
Shay has a good point. How could a large mega-company force a small, privately held company to sell? Well, the rest of the story was like this. An executive from the mega-company in question was overheard saying in a public place that they would either purchase us, or grind us into the dirt. This company…
I stand outside the church, anonymous among neighbors. They know each other. I do not. They speak of new cars, aging houses, children at college and weekend chores. I try to read a book I brought along to help with the wait or I pretend to read while I eavesdrop. The doors to the churchâs…
I was doing well before I was hospitalized, but I seem to have lost my drive since my discharge from Big City Hospital. I’ve only spent a handful of hours looking for a job. I have come to the point that I don’t know what I want to do anymore. I know what I don’t…
Twelve hours later, and I’m still trying to shake off last night’s sleeping pill. It’s worth it though – I got my first full night’s sleep in what seems like a week last night. The morning is definitely running in slow motion right now though. Tonight is the much anticipated Dar Williams concert. Front and…
How does my garden grow? Well, considering I still can’t bend over to weed, and it takes about fifteen trips for me to water the garden by hand because I can’t fill the watering can more than half-full (it’s too heavy for me to lift, otherwise), I’d say the garden is doing very well. I…

Just checking in this morning and getting caught up on your entries. I am glad you had a great vacation and that you are doing fine and getting better each day.
Concerning all that junk in emails, I get so tired of reading those raunchy subject lines. Do they really think anyone would want to read that stuff? It would be great if they could be sent back to the sender in triplicate!!!
Have a great day!
I purchased Mailwasher to help cut down my spam. It allows me to bounce messages back. This, i’ve discovered, is pointless since almost all spam comes from forged addresses. All things considered, it’s not cutting much spam. :/
Don’t you wish that you can "spam" them right back…with pictures of Barney!! 🙂
what the world needs now
is way less spam…
i ain’t even got the thing
they think
there’s
too little of.
(apolos to burt)
Palimpsest, I’m so glad to be watching you recoop from the crisis of your #1 Song Parody subject. Please write some more parodies about another one of life’s miseries: SPAM!!
I am probably inviting trouble by saying this, but I have never really had a hard time with SPAM. For the most part, the email I get is normal. I did *start* having a problem at my embrysonic address (which is why I left it) and was getting a LOT of refinance & penis enlargement emails. Is someone trying to tell me something?
A small victory for the good guys in the Spam Wars:
