    Recently spammers have been sending a "how to grow hair" email - I mean, really? Have they taken a look at my mop? I hardly need to grow MORE of it!

    I get so many spam emails from Match.com and Christian Mingle that I will never ever use them, even if I was single.

    Why do spammers now assume I'd want a Chinese bride, when I never have responded to any of the offers of Russian Brides or other Asian brides over the years? I wonder if my Russian-American niece-in-law gets those, too!

This seems to have replaced the v!agr@ spams ... Although I am now getting "mash patch" injury spams, when I'd never even heard of whatever it is!

    It is annoying that spammers assume I am diabetic (never have been), single (not for 27 years) and telemarketers have been leaving messages saying "If anyone in your household is over 60 ... which we are not ... maybe some of our furniture is, but ...

    A little OT but in spite of being on the Federal Do Not Call list I get approximately 10 robocalls/week.

    Me too, and at least 10 calls a week.
