This email I got...

I'm not sure what kind of drugs, how many drugs, and how much of each of them would be required to fall for this... but they REALLY targeted the wrong person.

Really, wtf is this wannabe ransom note? lol

Remember this?

Does anyone remember the plague of "chain E-mails" from the late 90s, earliest 2000s? Where people you knew would send you a million chain E-mails and you'd have to say "Take me off of this f***ing chain!!!"

Forward this email to 5 people if you LOVE JESUS! If you don’t forward it the DEVIL WINS!

Chain emails are now just idiots who won't stop hitting reply all. Work currently has one going that was originally sent in January. A simple reminder to check your work email daily. People apparently decided they needed to respond, by replaying all...AND do so daily? Or is it new people very time? I can't tell. The list I'm included in gradually grew to over 30 people repeatedly getting this. I want to reply all "Please stop replying all" but then I'm just a part of the problem. LOL

And it was always women, 99% of the time. Pretty much the same ones when MySpace and Facebook came out would send you a million Farmville invites. What was that, anyway?

The darn FB games pushed you to need others playing and doing crap for you in order to even enjoy it fully. Hated the thought of bugging others to play stuff they probably weren't interested in. I've got a bunch of old side accounts that I used instead when I needed a "friend" to pitch in.

Everyone concerned about the monster AI could become...

Me over here realizing I might get to see KITT become real before I kick the bucket. And Herbie, too, don't they dare leave it out.

Recently there was finally a message telling people to STOP.

But I found this email this morning. Seriously, Sheila?

I don't know whether to be annoyed or just laugh. How some people even manage to survive simply existing is beyond me.

I just saw a random clip of "Erin Brockovich," starring Julia Roberts, on FB. I thought to myself, "Huh, let's IMDB her age because she's got to be at LEAST my age now when she was in that movie. Because she was OLD already in that one."

I look it up and she's 32, over 10 years younger than me now. Shiiiiiiit....

It pisses me off that ebay is so nonchalant about fraud , so many forgers that shouldve been kicked to the curb

Dont collect autographs , its a circus hobby with NO control. FBI should investigate the sticker mafia (JSA , PSA & BAS) , they only care about your $....it doesnt matter to them if youre stuck with a stickered forgery.

Family member has a rather halfass-themed word search book. Supposed to be a Christmas one, and they did make an effort to include holiday and winter season words, but only to a point.

The lists are like cookies, candles, joy...spiders. Tf? Ah, yes, the long tradition of Christmas spiders, how could I forget.

Glanced at a newly open page two nights ago, that... well, I feel like whoever made the list sat there saying, "I need just ONE more word. One more that is related to the season. Ah! YELLOW SNOW!" I had a mouth full of mouthwash that I'm glad I didn't spit out from laughing off guard like that. lol

I once had a conversation with a young woman who argued that we should end raising livestock for meat and instead focus on producing corn, soybean and other non-animal based products for ethical reasons.

Bless her heart. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her how many little critters I’ve killed as a kid riding around in a John Deer disking a field.

“Run, Mrs. Brisby, Run!”

“Mommy! Mommy! Where’s Timmy?!”

“Too late, leave him!”
