Prisoner E-Mails...

Last week I got an email from corrlinks.com saying that a prisoner wanted to add me to his list of contacts. I would get a log in and password and be able to contact this person.

Over the weekend, I got another one saying I had been removed from the prisoner's approved list of contacts. Phew... I'm really glad this was a wrong Erin Thomas... I didn't really want to know that my friend was in Federal Prison.

...and the cheese stands alone.

It's as if he KNEW I had mentioned Wine Erin... her boss is  up to his old tricks again... I got some kind of order information that doesn't make any sense to me...

I've just forwarded it to her. Sigh... When will Scott learn? My guess? When Erin gets another job.

It's been a while, no?

I've been a little busy/lazy lately my friendly followers, but I've stirred up some quality e-mails in the last month. I'll share them with you today... even though I have some work to be doing, I need these out of my inbox...

1. The semi-racist e-mail: This one came with no name attached, no nothing... not even a real name in the e-mail address...

"As I was driving home yesterday, worrying about all the crap going on in Washington and how my life was falling apart, I saw a yard sign that said: NEED HELP? CALL JESUS 1-800-555-3787
Out of curiosity and desperation, I did and a man showed up with a lawnmower!"


2. Erin Number 2 in Seattle, not the same as the Wine Expert, has been the Red Box again.. She got "Everything Must Go" and "Red Riding Hood (2011)." She seems pretty set on girly-ish movies. I wish I could figure out who she is because I am tired of getting her receipts... I have no recourse other than to block Red Box from my inbox according to their less than helpful Help Center person... This may require more research on my part.

3. The young girl from George Mason is at it again... I got her FAFSA e-mail from the school... I don't think she's attending yet because she's not in their student directory as far as I can tell, but she is another one I cannot seem to locate by other means... She is the same girl who tried to reset my password because she REALLY thought my address was her's... gah! It's really hard when I can't locate the other person especially in this instance because I want her to get her student aid information if she needs it.

4. This e-mail comes to us from lovely Ontario, Canada where they use the metric system...

"Hi all!
Looks like the week is shaping up to be great! Supposed to get sunny tomorrow and warmer this week! Going into the 20's by the weekend and sunny (fingers crossed it stays that way) so we can be outside as well at Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!! Yeah! Kris -bring Gilby and Autie Fran and people with allergy's take your pills cuz of the animals. etc. Thanks! Regards, MB"

Ok, so this one makes me sad a little because this woman works at a school, but what are you going to do about it... The other thing that amused me was that she was excited about it being in the 20s, until I realized she meant Celsius. And Thanksgiving is still like 2 months from now... unless you're in CANADA! It's this weekend up there... crazy Canucks...

Ah well, that's all I can say for now.
