Dear FutureMe, So, where are you now? Can you believe that you are thirty already? I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'm nearly 27, time passes faster the older you get, I don't care what Einstien says! I hope you are better now, do you remember how bad things got? Let me tell you how sorry I am for what I'm doing to you at the moment. I know that I shouldn't hurt myself, but I can't help it.

Dear Jacob, This is Stephanie, of course. Right now I next to you in our little tiny apt. I just finished going shopping with you and J. Swish at Kroger.

Fred, that's a complete waste of space! AND, as a former paid subscriber to your original newsletter, it's a shame you had to involve yourself with Windows Secrets the way you did. I can understand needing to earn a living, especially after the "Big D", but the WS group lost most if not all of your former subscribers. A terrible offering to anyone of average intelligence.
ReplyDeleteSorry to see you using this Blog to entice people over to the WS site by throwing a bone or two here, expecting them to jump over to WS to read the rest of your column.

ReplyDeleteLook, I do this blog mostly just for fun. If you don't like it, please just click somewhere else. Nastygrams rarely accomplish anything positive; and anonymous nastygrams never do.
Have a nice life, and I suggest some prunes in your diet.
