I get a lot of junk email, don't you? Some of it is scams saying they are holding my inheritance in a bank in some foreign country I've never heard of, and I'm supposed to supply basic information to a person with a yahoo address so they can pay it to me. I've got enough sense to know that giving anyone basic information is going to allow them to clean all of my $42 out of my bank account.
Then I get stuff from 'friends' that say after you read this, send it to X number of other people including myself and I'll know you are a true friend.
Or the ones that have a prayer and some scripture that say if you love Jesus you will keep this message going, and if you don't forward it you don't love Jesus. I don't think whether I forward an email determines my love for Jesus.
So, I'm a chain breaker! Sue me!
I always read them, I just don't forward. But the other day I got one that as I read it, it brought back memories, so I'm going to put a few of the questions here. Answer them if you wish, I don't need to know those answers, but if any of them strike a familiar chord, then the time to put them in will have been worth it.
Have you ever:
( ) Gone on a blind date
( ) Skipped School
( ) Watched someone die
( ) Been lost
( ) Swam in the ocean
( ) Cried yourself to sleep
( ) Played Cops and Robbers
( ) Recently colored with crayons
( ) Sang Karaoke
( ) Paid for your meal with coins
( ) Done something you told yourself you'd never do
Hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. Do something silly. Make someone laugh.

YOU. ARE. UP. TOO. EARLY.
I could check off all but two.
I hate the emails that people forward that start off with "read this, it made me cry".......why would I want to read something that is going to make me cry?
I hope you have a good day, I was up early this morning too.
I'm a chain breaker too. And a frequent REPLY ALL with a link to Snopes.com when people send out the ones they think are true, that aren't. LOL
But when forwards are good, I copy and paste the message without all the 'forward this or . . .' parts and send it to those I think might enjoy it.
So I'll answer yours . . .

Wow - I think I'll go play cops and robbers with my kids tonight so I can finish out this list!!
Apparently my sister isn't ready to get up this morning. I'm thinking of going home to play cops and robbers. I want to be the robber! The cop part sounds boring. Then I'm going to color you a picture while I sit in my cell. Then I'll probably cry myself to sleep because you won't come bail me out, but they'll let me out early if I can get my hands on a karoke machine because, geesh, me singing would be tragic!
I guess you can say I "played" cops and robbers for nearly 22 years, does that count? But I also played it at school just a month ago when I substituted for a
2nd grade teacher!! It was still fun. I didn't ever skip school till I went to college, and then I don't consider it skipping because they didn't care if you were there or not. But I was mostly there. I have not watched someone die, but was there after they killed him and brought him back to life. And I think I have done most of the rest of them, not really well, but I have done them. Isn't life great!!!????
I'm not a good email buddy, either! I never forward on stuff and I rarely read junk/joke emails.
I'm a chain breaker too.... so I suppose I'm not a good friend and I suppose some might think that I don't love Jesus because I didn't forward their message? OH well? that's between He and I? Right??LOL
Have you ever seen this link?

I've been thinking of sending it to anyone who sends me JUNK!
I have never been able to figure out how me forwarding a stupid email would prove that I love Jesus. Or the USA. Or my friends. Or whatever. I hit delete. I'll open something and if the first words are "you gotta read this!" or "This made me cry!" or "let satan stop this one!" and on and on, I just hit delete. What a waste. If you want to keep in touch with me then write a personal note, don't send me some garbage.
You hit on one of my pet peeves, can you tell?!
I was up way too early this morning.....mom's brain biopsy.
~marge~
I get way too many also. I break chains also. And I can check off 9 of those on your list.
The Park Wife weighs in, well, not really weighs because i would not share that info with anyone, not even Big BUckaroo!
