Opening my e-mail is always accomplished with mixed feelings . One never knows what the contents will reveal . The retail alerts are easily dealt with...love that delete button ! Rare,but precious, notes from friends and family are savored and kept forever . The "forwards" are a challenge...some are funny or moving and are copied, then deleted . The offensive ones are those that threaten..."send this immediately to 4,000 of your closest friends or dire consequences will absolutely follow for the rest of your miserable life" !!!
Now , I don't know about you , but a blessing held out to me with a hand also holding a sledgehammer has lost its allure ! The whole point to a blessing is that it is a good thing . The Biblical blessings were dependant upon proper behavior...your chosen behavior determined the blessing (or cursing...) . These computer deals do not flow from The Divine , regardless of their presentation ! I'm on this dreaded Beast (my computer) to muddle through my chosen tasks . My ineptitude creates enough challenges , without being threatened from an outside source ! These are summarily dispatched to the cyberspace netherworld..and good riddance ! Harrumph !
Those chain letters are illegal too. I dump them into the trash immediately as well as block the sender if they do it again.
