So are the e-mail warnings that are hoaxes. They take a lot of time as well. I am feeling much better thanks and hope you're feeling better soon. It took me nearly a month to get over the flu. I'd be sick and congested, then feel better, but tired. Then I'd get sick all over again, feel better. I hope you're in the last part of it and feeling better for good soon.

I hope you’re in the last part of it and feeling better for good soon.

When you think about the time you spent trying to block it and delete it, it takes a lot of valuable hours away from our already too busy lives. Definitely ridiculous and time-consuming.

I'll have to think about that for a future romantic comedy. That would be a blast! I’ll have to think about that for a future romantic comedy.

It has not reached that person and is being returned to me for more information. Then there are the "bazillion" dollar messages filled with all sorts of errors! Wouldn't you think that if you were trying to scam someone, that you would at least send grammatically correct messages!! As you probably can tell, this does upset me! How are you feeling? When last we met on the 'net, you were in the midst of the flu. I'm finding that the cough is what I cannot seem to leave behind. I guess that calls for another trip to the doctor's office! Take care........ Pat Cochran The newest spam to hit my computer is

Okay, not really since the internet started in 1965. But since it went public in the late 80s, there has been spammers. I've been surfing the internet since 1990, and there were spammers too. One of those spammers was Amazon.com. *lol* But then again, back then "spam" came from those young blooming companies. (How else would they get people to know about their products?) Now it's all about sex, nudity, size of private parts, sex, nudity, viagra... it's ridiculous! Spammers are as old as…well, the internet. Okay, not really since the internet started in 1965.

What if your heroine worked for a company that manufactured some of those products? Or if your Hero took it personally and went on a rampage against the spammers(or the companies they advertised). What if your hero was tempted and accepted the offer. -hmmm that one might be something for EC. What about a scifi where the products actually worked - maybe too well, or unpredictably? Has anyone ever published studies about er...human sexual response in zero gravity/outer space? The opportunities are limitless. You know that would be a fun topic to explore.
