Yeesh.<BR/><BR/>As for money and kids---we wiled both to my brother, who seemed the most likely to cope with the children. I always thought the money was supposed to go to their support, so that's why we gave him the dough, too.<BR/><BR/>As for forwards, I don't answer. Any of them. Eventually, most everyone gets the message.

The family would be fine with her child. It's her boyfriend the family doesn't like. <BR/><BR/>Trying to think of anyone to give my own children to is a lot harder. I don't want to give them to anyone else. Wouldn't wish them on anyone else, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-10797292876212180712008-03-14T07:44:00.000-04:002008-03-14T07:44:00.000-04:00Lisa, I wish I could have see the boys doing the B...Lisa, I wish I could have see the boys doing the Blues Brothers. I bet it was a riot. <BR/><BR/>One of my best friends who lives two hours away sends me tons of forwards. I've told her nicely that I don't have time to read them, but she told me the ones SHE sends are GOOD ones. And she sometimes quizzes me on their content to see if I've read them. If I confess that I deleted the one in question, she resends it with orders to READ IT. <BR/><BR/>My advice is just keep hitting the delete button. Some people you just can't argue with.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755947919433555176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-24771905698790922252008-03-14T07:24:00.000-04:002008-03-14T07:24:00.000-04:00I have one relative who forwards everything, and I...I have one relative who forwards everything, and I mean everything. Some days there will be 20 forwarded emails from her. I never open any of them, I just delete them. We've told her we don't have time to read them, but she sends them anyway. <BR/><BR/>As for characters, I can't imagine my protagonist having children. She's too unsettled right now. She probably only knows one person who would make a halfway decent guardian, so that would be a tough decision.<BR/><BR/>I love that picture, Lisa!Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-30166453222963984442008-03-14T06:33:00.000-04:002008-03-14T06:33:00.000-04:00One of my friends used to send me every email chai...One of my friends used to send me every email chain letter known to mankind. I remember finally sending her a particularly heinous one in return. I think I did tell her, point blank, to stop sending me these things. At least they've stopped. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, she's also stopped emailing me to tell me how she's doing.

As for emails, I really don't mind the politically weird or the cute puppies -- it's the ones with sappy pictures and, often, angels, that insist I forward them to all of my friends within 15 minutes of receipt that I despise. I never send them on but, just like those pre-recorded phone messages from Ed Rendell, they just keep coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
