Damn you spam, damn you

I swear, whoever created spam should be shot. No wait, they should be forced to go through and personally be responsible for DELETING the spam that exists in my inbox....mutha effa.

So I have a bunch of random email accounts: yahoo, gmail, canada.com, hotmail, whatever...i have two yahoo accounts, one of them I used to use on occasion 10 years ago but now the only reason I even have it is 'cause it's my login for Amazon (that's where I was registered when I got married, and i've been too lazy to sync up that accuont with my regular yahoo email).

ANYWAY it's pretty much all spam, which on occasion I try to wipe out. Well I decided it's time to bring back that email account, and I'm going through all 3000 spam messages...problem is, I needed to filter out the ones from Amazon (that leaves Amazon.com, "auto-confirm@amazon.com", and the sneak peek emails i get from Cirque du Soleil)...

you'd think I'd be able to just select ALL and click SPAM, right? Sadly, no...yahoo email has some bug where it'll ask "are you sure you want to set all the mail to spam", if you select YES then nothing happens. So i'm trying to go through and highlight them all (using the new Yahoo Email format, where it looks like Outlook), but i'm on a crazy slow computer and the past HOUR has been spent trying to highlight a bunch, then click SPAM...

The slow computer is part of the massive computer problems we had way back when (see entry here)...it's actually gotten worse. Since I last posted, the "good" desktop PC's hard drive completely stopped spinning. So now i'm back on the crappy slow desktop PC, until I can either get an external hard drive or external CD burner to back up the personal info...after all the hard drive issues, i really want to get an external burner but those suckers aren't cheap (and i really don't feel like installing an internal burner onto this crappy PC only to later have to remove it and install it on the good PC).

Computer DRAAA-MAAAA...

Speaking of drama, some people make fun of me 'cause i'm in a book club. Y'all can suck my balls, at least I'm reading for God's sakes. Thank the lord for Meetup. Anyway, a whole bunch of stuff went DOWN...oh yes, people in the book club were ready to rumble. In the grand scheme it was all just chick drama, but it proves a few things:
1. Women are naturally drawn to drama. There's no effing WAY a guy's book club would ever have had this much drama. (Then again, no dude would join a male-only book club).
2. Women will bitch about ANYTHING.
3. Large gatherings of women creates nothing more than a clusterf*ck (i hate that word, but i can't think of a better way to describe it).

I wouldn't change items 1 through 3 for anything...

Sync up that account with Amazon and get rid of that account. :)

There's a reason why Yahoo is so far behind with the times. :)

You and your husband don't have any computer nerd friends that can help you out?? Between Ray and I we fix our share of computers for friends. Sounds like a weekend fix'er upper. :)

Get an external hard drive case with USB and a hard drive that can accomdate all of the data on both computers and Ghost them the drive. You can even install the drive into the computers to speed things up. Ok ok I'm leaving out some steps but it wouldn't take long to backup.

"Y'all can suck my balls" Sabina, that statment right there just made my day and the bulk of my day is over. :P

The difference between women get togethers and men get togethers is that men will beat the crap out of one another and then it's over, women will get bitchy and use personal/emotional attacks... suppose women could come to blows too but I doubt that as often as the personal attacks. Thing is they never let that stuff go, once guys get it out of their system it's done. Ooooo did I just open up a can of worms here?? :P Hope not.

I think it's great you're in a book club but for the sole purpose of getting yourself to read, couldn't you just make a point of reading an hour before bed? There is the social aspect of the book club which could be good, make new friends, business contacts, blah blah blah... oh and who can forget your own personal reality drama. :)

You don't like to use "clusterf*ck" man I probably use that daily. :P

You're right I've never heard of a guy's book club, maybe gay guys would - I dunno, Metro/SNAG's don't do the book club thing.
