Freakin' spam!

Got this message today...which made me quite upset because I thought it was from MBF's DH. Once I read, I realized it was freakin' spam. Talk about maddening.

This is not meant to be an insult or anything but people are talking at work about your weight.I thought you should know. I know it would upsetyou if you knew but I know some friends here andoutside work that have used a program that worked within weeks. I am not pushing anything on youbut thought it wouldn't hurt if you looked at it.I also think I am doing you a favor as it's alwaysnice when people talk about how much better you look than how much you've been putting on. I hope I amnot intruding, just trying to help out. My cousin &friend Alex used this and it helped alot. Here isthe page I know they got it from direct.http://www.011.doasimilatecat.comAgain, I'm just trying to help out.Thanks for listening.Mark

I get crap all the time in my inbox, but this was different. An actual plea to read. It made me so mad to think someone persumed I was overweight and unattractive. Whoever sent this has no idea that I've been working hard for almost 2 months and lost 23 pounds. Anyway, just hurt to see how someone's ignorance can hurt.

I must also rant about Reader's Digest. I love the magazine...and the Sesame books E gets monthly through them. But I'll tell you, I'm extremely reluctant to deal with them ever again. Weekly, if not daily, I receive junk mail from them. 'If I'd only buy blah books, I'll be eligable to win a billion bucks or something.' Yesterday I got what looked like registered mail reading "FIRST NOTICE". I started freaking wondering what bill I forgot to pay and are they taking my house. Yeah, it was RD trying to get me to sign up for something and win $500,000. Frig! I was furious. Once I finish E's subscription (Sesame alphabet books), I think I'll write a stern letter to the company regarding their harrassment!
