good one Marty

How about the drivers in the parking lot attempting to enter the space from the wrong way! You went around and came up the isle the right way and here they are TRYING to manuver into the space.

Janet I'm right up there on that soap box when it comes to those emails that tell me i've got to foward or I don't love Jesus or bad luck looms...I've never, I repeat never sent one on. What kind of friend would send these to me and take the chance I wouldn't send it on...and drop dead tomorrow. Hellooo If they don't recieve them from me it should be a clue. The next peeve still had to do with emails. I clean my box out every night and when I get home from work I have 139 emails that start out FW. I don't even read those either just erase. If I send someone a joke or whatever I copy and paste in a new email. One last thing, how can I stop the spam mail that fills my junk mailbox?? In 4 days I didn't check my email I had 1189 emails...It's out of control....and so am I...I'm through.
I feel better, thanks.:-)

Dear SweetLady

Spam is Spam is Spam...but it is not Ham... Just kidding, I feel your pain and am feeding the Monkey for you as we speak.

Email spam is a chore, but can be resolved a few different ways. One is costly, that is where most email systems give you the Opportunity to select a higher priced email system that has spam block... not fun, and not always a safe alternative.. They work, but sometime block wanted mail too.
Then there are those little areas in the free site email that give you email preferences and how to handle spam... again not easy but manageable.
Third there is change your email addy and re-up with a different carrier...but, because most free sites use the spam people to subsidize their costs... the linger in again.. But thing you can do, is ever so often clean the cache out, do not allow cookies and get a free service like LAVA-SOFT, it will help stop and delete some, some not all pass through email spam...But as I said darling it is a thing we all must live with, but can be semi managed.

Hi, SweetTexasLady! Hey..if you feel better..that's half the battle.

I do the same when occasionally sending on something in an e-mail. Somehow it seems lazy to me to just click "Forward" and off it goes, no e-mails stripped out and often with a bunch of forward marks here and there throughout the body of the e-mail. When the thing has been forwarded numerous times, it can get pretty messy. I use a free program called eCleaner that cleans up all that mess and then I copy/paste the cleaned-up version back into an e-mail to send on.

About all that spam? Hm..I use the Yahoo webmail, mostly because sbcglobal (which is connected to Yahoo) is my DSL service and so that became my primary e-mail address back when I got DSL. I used to use Outlook Express which had loads of ways to block or filter out all that garbage mail. But after having one or more computer crashes and losing all my mail past, present, sent, saved..the works, I'm paranoid now so I ONLY use the webmail. That way nothing is actully stored on my pc and no matter what happens here at home, I can pull it all up anytime, anywhere. The drawback is, at least with the basic version (not sure if it's any better with the Plus service..but who has the money to put out for that?) the spam filter mostly just puts stuff in my junk folder...and yep, Marty's right, it can make mistakes so I have to look down the list before I delete just in case. Very tedious!

Oh, well..such is the internet..an amazing tool that can drive us crazy at the same time. LOL

Hey guys I sure appreciate all the support and advice. I have yahoo also. I have to skim through the bulk mail because like you said some of my good email gets kicked over there. When I do that I'm amazed at how many people want to help me sell my apartment, give me the million dollar sweepstakes I won in England, or increase the size of my organ. Well I think the owners of my complex would frown on me selling it, I've not been to England, I did go to Manchester Tennessee once, nice little town, and London Texas is too. Maybe someone there signed me up to win all this money. My Gosh...why in the world would I want a larger organ to Satisfy my Lady? Heck.. my Lady is perfectly content to curl up on the bench of my piano and it is too big for my apartment....but it's awful nice of them to think about me..don't you think? If you want to get in on all this goodwill I can send them to your email, LOL
Giggles and grins.and great big hug...Elaine

Say you dislike nasty overbearing cell phone tones and in the gawl awfulest places to hear it... Restaurant, Church, you know the list goes on... So you bring it up and someone adds to it and has more to say about it... well the monkey is now off your back an living on there's, kind of like the card game....what am I looking for....YEAH!! Screw your Neighbor...But, you really are not playing cards and the Neighbor is really not being taken advantaged of... it's just a way to get your peeve re-located...
