My ISP's email server has been down since Thursday...
I didn't realize what my email meant to me until I lost it.


Since Thursday my life has been devoid or such nuggets as:

Someones tryin tofind you.

5 Shocking Home-Invasion Statistics.

How to survive a heart attack when alone.

REQUESTS FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS.

MUST READ: Chinese Hair Bands Made From Used Condoms!!

FW: Make sure to look at the picture and read this!!!

Never ever i thought that ants can be sooooooooooooooo dangerous...

Saves 70c Per Gallon On Gas.

Did You Know This About OBAMA!!



I started wondering about all this today. If they don't get my email back up ASAP will my friend in Nigeria think I've forgotten them? Will the world end because I don't see the latest internet political smear? Will I use a hair band that was made from a condom? I hate to think what might be happening to my credit score without all those helpful emails telling me how to raise it. Then there's that delicate subject of my erectile dysfunction. Never mind that I'm a woman. Judging by the sheer volume of Viagra pushing emails I get, it's obvious I MUST have a problem in that area. Who knows, perhaps after taking Viagra I'll discover I really was a man all along. But not now. Now all those emails are being sent off into the nether regions of the internet. Their destination unknown.

The somewhat ironic part of all this is, my ISP's email failure was in part due to customers storing massive amounts of spam on the webmail system.

1. And no " you look stupid, Lone_Star_Dem" or "caught you in the shower, Lone_Star_Dem"
to say nothing of boner magic pills of all sorts.

Our server was down for about 3 days once due to being blackballed from the internets for spam originating from some naive fool's hacked computer here in our wee village. It was hell for the folks at our phone co-op but aside from missing messages from my daughter and my brother, it was all pretty nice.

2. I forgot those gems.
I guess my privacy is restored now that I'm sans email.

Other than missing messages from my mom and sister, I'm pretty much finding it to be pretty nice too. :)
