mail fraud?

**Karen** · 02-19-2007, 09:52 PM

I remember this type of thing going around when I was in elementary school - and getting told it was illegal way back then - more than 20 years ago!

Same here....they are old old scams.
I'm 58, and can remember them when I was in school.
I think the people who start these things let them run for a little, and then when the going gets hot they back down and keep it quiet for a while.
They seem to surface maybe once a year.
A lot of people have lost money on them.

Catlady711- my statement should have said " they can arrest you without warrent.." Thats what I meant. ( not 'without cause").. ( lol.. why someone would arrest someone without a cause is rather funny...lol..darn decongestants..) Thank you- thats what I meant..

Lh....hold on tight...I am coming to your aid!

Arresting people without cause or without warrant...only in Dick Cheney's dreams!

But what I find most.....oh would ironic be the right word???

A couple of you who thought the post with this in it....

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is
based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you!

was so wonderful! Sending it to all your friends as I recall.

Now....you are offended by mention of anthrax...while mentioning "going postal!" Well! I am offended by the use of the expression "going postal!"

So there!

I am sorry...you gave up the right to be offended, remember?

And LH...of course you are a bully....so am I. And I think we should be offended that people are suggesting that being a bully is a bad thing.

So there!

Might be a good idea for you to stop posting altogether when you are
under the influence.

STOP! STOP! STOP! PLEASE!

This whole thread started with me. I want to be the one to end it. Karen, please shut this one down. Enough is enough.

Well I am offended by people being offended. Now how would one deal with that

Is it just me or are people more easily offended these days? I have seen far worse things said and implied than sending talcum powder in an envelope. I know people that died in car accidents.... should I be offended by jokes about idiot drivers? certainly not. If you are offended I suggest you look away from the thread instead of demanding people conform to your standards. Freedom of speech sucks sometimes don't it.

Edwina's secretary, the fact that we agree on something shall never leave this thread... understood

lol Thank goodness neither of us is easily offended or we could have some serious issues sharing this board lol

As for mail fraud, LOL a guy on my hubby's hockey team is a postal worker and at christmas a lady sent cookies to her neighbor and just walked over and put them in the mail box with a little note. LOL he took the cookies and left a note for the lady that sent them saying it was illegal to put things in the mail that aren't from the post office.... he later went home and ate the cookies

lol what a guy

Sparks, you think YOU have some explaining to do for agreeing with ES?

I think I just saw a red guy with horns, a pointy tail and cloven hooves skiing by!

**Edwina's Secretary** · 02-20-2007, 09:41 PM

I so glad I have converted the two of you. Make sure you toe MY party line from now on!
