( Love love love this song*!*)
My email box is always overflowing but I like it that way...read some now, read some later (when Mal isn't spreading peanut butter on the couch)... And I get all sorts of stuff:
"Find your perfect match", "Asian singles looking for you", "Earn your degree in nuclear engineering at home"... Whatever..I just delete that junk right away. (Well, unless it just looks too hilarious and ridiculous NOT to read*!*)
I like forwards. It just means that something made you think, made you mad, or made you laugh and you thought I would be interested in it so you passed it along. It means you were thinking about me...That's nice right? And I love me some inspiration. A quote, a feel-good story, etc. You better forward THAT stuff along...I just LOVE it*!*
THIS is the stuff that kills me:
When I am reading an email (about faith, my country, friendship, etc.), minding my own business and at the bottom it says: "Forward this if you are not ashamed of God, the USA, etc...." Or, "Are you a good friend? If you are, you'll forward this..."
Ummmm...... WHAT?!?
If I don't press "send" should I just change my name to Judas?
How did we prove our faith before computers?
Holy cow...did my poor Grandma Willie go to the bad, hot place because she never set up a Yahoo email account?
I don't think God has nor needs email.
(Because, you know...He's GOD and all.)
Really? I'm ashamed of my country? If I don't press "send", am I disrespecting my Grandaddy (who was a POW in WWII) and my Dad (who was in Vietnam)... JUST because I didn't push that button?
Hmmm.....
My friends don't look at my inbox.
If my friends don't know I got the darn email in the first place, and I don't forward it...
Then they DON'T KNOW how cr*ppy of a friend I am..
Oh, and by the way, NO MATTER WHAT IT SAYS...nothing is going to dance across your computer screen when you forward whatever to 11 people...that ridiculous "You'll see what happens!" thing. BULL*!* NEVER has a blasted thing happened...EVER*!*
AAARRRRGGGGHHHH*!*!*!*!*!*
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest...
Got this email from my friend Kristy (the keeper of the gnome) and I just love it:
16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN:
by Dave Barry, Nationally Syndicated Columnist
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
(hold on, gotta write that one down...)
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential that word would be "meetings".
(...especially when dinner is on the table, the kids are going nuts and he's already 30mins. late anyway!)
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
(I resemble that remark!) 
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.(ALWAYS true!)
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
(...lest you be lonely and sad.)
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
(Please : )
7. Never lick a steak knife.
(Now I'm a klutz, but I've never done that one.)
8. The most destructive force in the world is gossip.
(amen*!*)
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
(I too would love to know...)
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see the actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
(Good advice if you value your own life...)
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
(+22)
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
(But I really am.)
13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
(I think this one is THE MOST valuable one on the list!)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
(Yep!)
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
(I am a work in progress on this one...)
16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine......They start out like grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the cr*p out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
(I have done my job...)
Hope the rest of your weekend is great~pray that that d*mn Ike just disappears will ya?

I always delete the ones that say to forward for whatever reason. They drive me crazy. I used to feel guilty but not anymore.
Love that list.
We've been getting rain from Gustav for DAYS. We had a small break yesterday then it started up last evening again. I can't even imagine living right where they hit. I feel for you guys.
(ticket, ticket, ticket....no pressure but I'm getting nervous)
17. No one will ever think your penis is as fabulous as you think it is.
Just had to add that! You were the only one for days that found that amusing, so I totally love you for that!
And I actually hate email forwards, but only because MIL sends EVERY ONE she gets to EVERY ONE in her address book. So she's not thinking about you at all. Kind of like Christmas.
I am one of those people that find religion fascinating so I would love to tell you about mine and hear about yours. I'm weird like that. But you are probably talking about preachy people and in that case, I agree. :)
Hear me, hear me! HAHAHA!! I think I'm gonna say that to my boys from now on. ;)
OMG i was just thinking i needed to post on all the crazy shit that shows in my inbox....
ya know like the grow your penis and viagra is great and all that crap...LMAO
Great list and so true!
according to my email inbox, my penis is too small, I'm too fat, I need breast implants, somebody wants to sleep with me, and I need to eliminate my credit card debt.
...shows how stupid they are, nobody wants to sleep with me.
You are in Mississippi, right? Hope you are not affected. We went to the beach this afternoon and the ocean was AMAZING. Ike had it ALL stirred up.
