Hey at least it is an informative and educational spam. lol

And it depends on whose e-mail addys show.
If it is just only close family or a small group of close friends, I send it to all.
If not I just send it to the immediate sender, as you do.

sleepydog..er i mean unwanted feels strongly about mail like this as in my mind is abusive and very unwanted and honestly makeds me angry at getting them...here is the xample i got yesterday. Im sorry i dont find them funny....



THIS IS TRUE, ALWAYS TELL SOMEBODY HOW YOU FEEL

God Bless

The Wilsons

READ ALONE, ESPECIALLY THE POEM.


Case# 1. Kelly Sedey had one wish, for her boyfriend of three
years David

Marsden to propose to her. Then one day she was out to lunch,
and David proposed.


Ø She accepted, but then had to leave because of a
meeting in 20 minutes. When she got to her

office, she noticed on her computer she had some emails. She
checked it,

the usual stuff from her friends, but then she saw one she had
never gotten before.

It was this poem. She simply deleted it without even reading
all of it.

BIG MISTAKE. Later that evening she received a phonecall from
the police.

It was David, he was in an accident with another car, and he
didn't survive.
Case #2 Take Katie Robinson. She received this poem, and
being the
believer that she was , she sent it to a few of her friends,
but didn't
have enough email addresses to send out the full 10 that you
must.

Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball. Later that
night


when she left to get in her car, she was hit and killed by a
drunk driver.
Case #3 Richard S. Willis, sent this poem out within 45
minutes of

reading it. Not even four hours later walking along the street
to his new

job interview, with a big company, he ran into Cynthia Bell,
his secret

love for 5 years.

Cynthia came up to him and told him of the passionate crush
she had on him

for 2 years. Three days later he proposed to her and they got
married.

They are still married with 3 children, happy as ever.


This is the poem:

Around the corner I have a friend,

In this great city that has no end,

Yet the days go by, and the weeks rush on,

And before I know it a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,

For life is a swift and terrible race,

He knows I like him just as well

As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine, but we were younger then,

And now we are busy tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying to make a name,

"Tomorrow" I say, I will call on Jim

Just to show that I'm thinking of him"

But tomorrow comes, and tomorrow goes,

And distance between us, grows and grows

Around the corner, but miles away,

"Here's a telegram sir, Jim died today."

And thats what we get and deserve in the end
Around the corner a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean

If you love someone tell them,

Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out

and tell someone what they mean to you, because

when you decide to tell them it might be to late.


Seize the day, never have regrets, and most importantly
stay close to your friends and family, for they have

helped make you the person that you are today.

You must send this on within 3 hours of receiving it to 10
different

people. If you do this you will receive unbelievably good
luck. The

person that you are most attracted to will soon return your
feelings.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

*NOTE...The more people you send this to the better luck you
will have.

SMILE...even through your tears.

:thumbsup: i am going to do that.

But in the case of lucia, when they are sent by friends who think its funny...i wonder do you sound prudish by trying to be nice and say please dont send them...

This dog likes to speak his mind, somtimes it gets me in trouble, but atleast people dont misinterprit what i say.

It's quite easy to be open with friends - my real friends know what I think anyway, but I would find it quite difficult to confront their parents without feeling I was being rude. That may be prudish, but I prefer to call it good old-fashioned English courtesy! (sorry about stereo-typing here!)

Scarlett, what you say makes sense.

Unwanted ask them to please not send them to you.
Of course that may not matter.
You know how some people are, no matter how many times they are told something, they never listen.
Do they??
Do you know what I mean??
