Hope this makes you laugh, it sure did me… the truth is always funny.

10 things I learned from my spam email folder.

1. My manhood is too small. (omg I have one??)
2. Even if it wasn’t tiny, it doesn’t work anyway.
3. My mortgage interest rate is too high.
4. My golf clubs are old and outdated.
5. I am paying far too much for prescription drugs.
6. I am missing out on many opportunities to meet singles in my area.
7. There are many stocks that I have never heard of that will make me rich.
8. If that doesn’t work, I can still get rich on Ebay.
9. My long lost, fabulously wealthy Nigerian relatives continue to die by the carload, leaving me enormous sums of money.
10. My Ebay and PayPal accounts have been suspended. I need to resubmit my financial information and passwords to http://www.westealebayandpaypalpasswordsfromidiots.com in order to restore service.

Man oh man. Reformatting a computer should be such a simple thing even if it can be a headache but nooooooooooooooooooooooo my computer feels like being a… well, a you know what!

I burned 9 DVDs full of stuff I needed (ok wanted in the case of the 2 1/2 DVDs worth of music), but my computer does not want to read the majority of them and keeps saying particular items have errors. So I am currently flipping out. This means I have NONE of the websites I have been messing with, none of my graphics which include pictures that can not be replaced of my birthmother who passed away, etc etc. I can live without the websites… those can be made again but I really am freaking out about all of my personal stuff like the images, address book, text files with phone numbers on them and so on.

To top it off this all happened Friday and it took until today to get my computer to reinstall an operating system… won’t even accept XP Pro, had to go back to Home Edition (gag) and just now able to get the backup of my emails to load. Won’t load my contacts but atleast I can get the majority of the important ones from the emails. This means I now have to contact everyone I was suposed to help and let them know what is going on. Yuck.

Anyhow, figured I would post this here on my blog so anyone who comes to the forums looking for me will understand why I have not been around. I still haven’t been able to install any of my IM thingies so have to try and figure out all my user names and passwords. What a pain in the butt.

I am soooooooooo going to double check anything I burn from now on before I touch a dang thing on my computer. lol Oh well, such is life. All of it is replaceable eventually sept the personal pics. I will be upset about that for a very long time to come.

So sorry this post has nothing to do with osCommerce but I had the urge to post something after speaking to this very nice lady while playing canasta online.

She recently lost her nephew. He was murdered… get this… by a 22 yr old woman for a gold chain. Yes, I said a 22 yr old woman, for a gold chain.
Can you believe that? All caught on video. Kicked in the head for 20 minutes by the womans boyfriend who is over twice the kids size. There are many other things they did to this teen but I will not go into it because it is horrible and scary to think people are capable of such things.

Luckily the people who killed this teen were caught and are in prison. When they were caught they were wearing the things they took off his dying body. This poor kid was just walking to the skytrain station after watching fireworks. Shows you that you just never know when will be the last time you see someone you love. Now this is a horrible subject, and depressing and sad and disturbing but it brings home something I truly believe in which is what prompted me to make this post…

Always, always, always make sure the ones you love know it.

I make it a point to tell my husband I love him before he leaves for work every morning. I tell him I love him every time he walks out that door, or calls on the phone. Sounds silly, but even after 7 years of marriage I want to be sure he knows just how much I love him. Every time I talk to a family member, I tell them I love them. I have lost enough family members to know I never want them to leave me without them knowing I care.

Such a simple thing to say, yet so many do not say it.
