How would you handle this?

[Laura's Babies]

I hit reply on the last "already seen (years ago) jokes" she sent and asked her if she didn't mind, I wanted to know how long she has been on computers and online since she sends me stuff that I have seen ages and ages ago. Just a short and sweet question.. She has been online since 99, so she should have seen most of this stuff herself.

The good news is NO email from her since that, so far........ Did not get the 5 to 10 of them today..... yet....

Oggy, I am getting that mailwasher!

Your post must be prophetic. I get a lot of emails from a woman who is in her 80's. I have known her for years and she lost her husband a year or so ago. All of her emails have forwards, but I never say anything because I think the computer has been a God-send for her now that she is alone.

Because of that, I will send her jokes etc. She forwards them and never cleans up the forward so my email address goes along too.

Yesterday I received an email from someone on her mailing list. They claim to know me - wanted to say hi and did I remember them? Well, no, I don't remember them.

Then came this steady string of emails - all with gobs of forwards.........takes you forever to open them up.

I had to laugh - because now I have to practice what I preached. Delete, delete, delete.
