Joe and I aren't alone in thinking this was HIGHLY inappropriate, right?

Old people just do not "get" the SPAM.

Well, certain people. My Mother and Aunts. They think its just GREAT to send a prayer for the soldiers or dubious paranoid medical information or warnings on how I should be careful getting into the car at the mall to a couple of hundred people at a shot (many of whom cheerfully "reply all" with some inane comment) and simply do not understand when I object to this.

I honestly don't know how she got it. She probably just looked it up or something. If she had sent it other business owners in Ypsi, I wouldn't be as irritated, but she didn't. It was all friends of hers.

Ah yes, the emails with pages upon pages of email addresses. At least it was for something legit enough and not promises of $ from Microsoft. @@

AmyLiz! As a summer thing and being closer to you than usual I purchased Room Service before I headed north. Now this is not at all my usual genre, but the last time I tried this type of fiction was probably over 30 years ago, so I am keeping an open mind. I am looking forward to thinking of you as I get to know your characters. One sister and my niece love romance, my other sister reads gory serial murder stuff, the rest of us a bit of variety. From the lovely reviews I read it promises to be a pleasant diversion and again with the warm feelings when I think of where the words originated. So be pleased to know you have led me astray and be prepared to autograph it for me when I see you!

Nora - I would call her just to make sure. I hope she comes through.

Porr Connie and her teethers.

Tell your MiL to take that guy's email address out of her address book, stat, Aimee.

My sister got some of the professional photo proofs from her wedding. Note how I resisted the tanning decree. Best picture of me and DH eva! I should have gotten my teeth whitened.

So be pleased to know you have led me astray and be prepared to autograph it for me when I see you!

My mom and dad are the same way. Email is still new enough they think forwarding a joke is totally cool. Drives. Me. Nuts.

Aims, just be grateful your boss is a nice guy. I think MiL stepped over the line, yeah, but in her head she was probably just being friendly.

Cash, you look beautimous!! So does Lori. And DH is just as cute as can be!

Aims, are you sure that the rest were just friends of hers? I couldn't expand the list (it's obviously a list she set up, so the To: field just shows Mom's e-mail addy). I tried calling her to give her either a stern warning or a taste of unholy hell (depending on her reaction), but she wasn't home.

Vortex, backflung. Also, you are made of awesome. (not news)

Aims, are you sure that the rest were just friends of hers?

To be fair, no. Not entirely sure. t is abashed at making an ass out of me and umption

Still irritated though.
