spammed
 

Did you ever want to know that there are 17 uses, aside from the obvious, for dryer sheets? Do you yearn for the Irish prayer of the day? Do you need to know the definition of a True Friend, or want to read the latest American, chest-pounding poem written by "a veteran"? Me neither.

But I am being bombarded with the above-described e-mails, and many others, by a most unlikely source: my mom.

She's spamming me.

Dear Applejack,

Mum's have been doing that for centuries. They used to call it "Nagging". Technology has just enabled them to do it more often, faster and with less hassle than the old way! So, my advice... live with it! Some of it may turn out to useful! Who knows.... :)

I could do that but, i think i will spam her and wait til reality hit in with her.

I'm kind of curious as to where she's going with that dryer sheet thing.

when my mom discovered email. I got about 20 cat jokes a day, at least one heart-wrenching tale of someone who would die if I didn't forward this email to at least 15 or my closest friends along with a few phone calls asking if I got said emails. It's what moms do, god love 'em.

One day your Mom will be gone and you will long for just one little idiotic, meaningless email from her... and it will be the saddest thing ever to you when you don't get one.
So enjoy it while you get them.....at least she's not bitching at you.....she's only doing it because she loves you - suck it up! :D

aj~ I have to agree with Minx.
My Grandma (rest Her Soul), used to send me newspaper and magazine clippings, regarding various subjects I might have an interest in. This was before the internet was world wide. If She was still here, I know I would be even more informed than ever!!!!
Consider yourself lucky that you have someone who cares like that.

Just be concerned when she starts forwarding viagra ads!:confused: :crazy: :D

your mom sounds fun

you just simply back and say "unsubscribe" mom!!

block her adress, problem sorted.
or alternatively you could ask to stop sending you so much pointles e-mail

no i didn't know that

Bed sheets do NOT make good parachutes

But conversly parachutes make Good bedsheets !

THAT is the reason my mom doesn't know my email address.

The worst is when your mom learns how to use AIM and ims you when you're ...

...actually there. ;)

yup, good ole block function done served me well ;)

I've heard horror stories of people cybering and accidentally typing part of a message to a parent.

My mum doesn't know how to turn the computer on!

Isn't she cute! THANK GOD!

My mom is included in the ever growing number that fears the arrival of the metal ones. I'd be surprised if she worked up the courage to even attempt turning a computer on. In retrospect, this is probably a good thing. I talk with my mother plenty, but not using chat. :D

your mother must think your a creep

my mom knows how to use a computer... but when it comes to the internet... she's lost... after hearing some of the stuff in this thread though... i'm starting to be pretty glad...

There's always the easy answer of multiple email addresses - at least one of which mom doesn't have. :)

No shit. Intrigued, I am.

Smeat.
