I am an email curmudgeon

I will readily admit to reading my junk email. A morbid curiosity overtakes me when I see "Sale! Buy Now" in the subject line. I can't help myself, I have to see what the next great deal is. I never buy them. I somehow don't ever think I will ever need a new vacation home in the Poconos, or a great time share deal near central Florida. I also don't need any male life enhancing drugs thank you very much.

The one email though, that I hate to see, is the chain email. Its been forwarded to a hundred other people and you. You probably don't even know the original writer. Most cases you don't want to know the original writer, particularly if they are so stupid that they believe if they send this email out they will receive cash. I can't believe in this day that people still believe this stuff and they won't take the time to check out the facts.

I got one today that if I forward it on Bill Gates will send me $245. He will also send $243 to whomever sent it to me, and $241 to whomever sent it to them. You get the idea. Apparently Bill Gates is rich, stupid and has time to check my email . I checked www.snopes.com and of course in 30 seconds, I found out its a big joke.

What is wrong with you people? Stop it already! No more forwards!

Thanks Lambert and Lindsey show, Not!

Saturday night, George, the boys and I went to hear the Louisville Orchestra's Christmas Spectacular. It was wonderful, the music was just what I needed to get in the Christmas mood.

Matt and I had fun picking out the music that he knew. They played selections from A Charlie Brown Christmas, Matthew was pleased that he could recognize it. He knew a lot of the carols that they played and of course he sang along with Rudolph.

They played my favorite Christmas song, Carol of the Bells, a few bars in, Matthew turns to me very excited and says in his loudest whisper; "Mom! They're playing ding fries are done!"

What is wrong with you guys? You're ruining Christmas!
