Bulk mail folder
The bulk mail folder is a handy little folder that yahoo has so kindly provided it's users to filter out alot of the JUNK that we receive via email. Well, I've not looked into it in so long...I typically just empty it without checking it out. Tonight, I checked, just to see what kind of wonderful things I've been missing out on...I won't write exactly what all of them are, I'll put more of a "why I deleted them" reasoning to it.
1) I don't want to refinance my house in West Monroe as I no longer live there.
2) I don't want any of my body parts enlarged and especially not those as I'm not a woman
3) I don't care to get a degree in life experience, although it does sound kind of cool.
4) I don't care that his/her webcam is up and running
5) I don't want any more prescriptions
6) I don't want an AARP card...yet.
7) I don't recall any relatives from Nigeria...and I appreciate the offer to run 25 million dollars through my account and the willingness to pay me for my trouble, but next time try the US Mail...it's more believeable...oh yes, and leave me a phone number to call you at.
8) I don't want a new car.
9) I don't care to gamble online...in fact, I don't care to gamble offline either.
10) I'm not interested in donating money to an individual speaking on behalf of those that have been evicted from their homes due to Hurricanes Katrina or Rita...especially when you can't spell "evict" and "money". It just sounds fishy...sorry.
11) I don't want a free XBOX...ok, sure I do, but as long as it took Christin to get her IPOD, I can only imagine how long the XBOX will take.
12) I don't want a $400 dollar gift card in exchange for my personal information
And possibly my all time favorite
13) I don't want my free psychic reading...I mean, if you're psychic and can use the internet, why haven't you called me directly?
There, that should hold me for a while.

A real psychic would know in advance who is going to pay for a reading. All they have to do is mail a reading and a bill to those folks. Of course that would mean they've probably already saturated that market and put themselves out of business. Maybe that's why they keep bothering the rest of us.

David,
I'm glad to know someone besides me has thought the same thing in regard to them. You put it much more clearly than I have though...well done.

It took so long to get that free iPod that I gave up. I got one for Christmas, though, so I'm happy.
