Owning a Business & SPAM Mail

Since joining the ranks of other business owners out there, the amount of Junk Mail and Spam Mail I receive is just mind boggling.

Heck, if we think we burn through petroleum at an astonishing rate I wonder what the rate is for all the paper used to send Junk Mail.

I think I've received every offer known to man now through my mailbox, and all the rest show up in my email "BULK" folder.....here's the Subject Lines sitting in my Email Spam box right now.

Are you looking for Someone That Doesn't Want to be Found?
----well, not really, but I wonder if I could use it to find Osama Bin Laden....
Dafe Safer, Date Smarter
---Yes, the moron's do intentially spell that wrong....now, why they'd send it to a HAPPILY MARRIED MAN WITH TWO CHILDREN THAT DOESN'T DATE!!!! is beyond me....but hey, I guess I've never understood the mind of a spammer anyway...
Secret Datings!
--or it should read, "How to wreck your marriage in 3 short weeks!"
Take The Free Credit Score Challenge
--Free...hmmm....lemme guess, "for only $19.95 a month we'll send you a FREE credit report.." Nope doesn't sound free to me. I mean, c'mon, SOMEONE's gotta pay for the email account to blast this crap out with...
Get a Great mortgage rate today
---And why would I care about this? Sorry, I've become hardened to these ones....if the rate is so great, I'm sure it wouldn't need to solicit me--people would just flock to the thing.
ATTENTION - Breaking News
--Uh boy, I'm getting SOOOO tired of these one's.....I think the Nigerian Fraud Scheamers are on a big "Must Bilk Americans Out Of All Their Cash this month" marathon....I bet I'm getting 15-20 of these sucker's a day.
Alway's some piss-poor sob story about how their uncle jazawhatever has come down w/ some nasty disease and how they've got a billion bucks they need transferred to uncle whatshisname for some stupid reason and they need me to give them my bank account, phone number, social security number and anything else they can bilk me out of to suck all my bank accounts dry....I don't think so....

Lately the newest schemes have been the one's offering me employment (Uhm, HELLO!!! I OWN my own business!!!) if I just fill out their cheesy form & send it back to heaven-knows-where (probably some hell-hole in a 3rd world country that they're accessing things over dial up on).

Anyway, I really get tired of the spam. Lately, if you participate in any of the biodiesel forum boards, there's been a rash of these guy's posting to them and just mucking things up.....

So much fun, eh?

"And in other news....."
Can I just say I really hate being sick!

I've had this nasty cold catch on to me, grab hold & the sucker won't let go! Fever, chills, cough, headache, lots of toilet paper used blowing my nose, you know, the usual.....it still sucks.

Maybe it's the oil company's way of letting me have it for helping folks eat into their profits by making their own fuel...yeah, that's it.....yeah right! And I'm a millionaire! (I wish).

Anyway, it's seemed to nail several of us in the biodiesel community (girl mark included) and I personally just wish it'd bite the big one & go away.

So, while this post isn't much about biodiesel, it does show just how wacked out no-name Day-Quill drops can be to your brain. Hopefully it'll pass & let me get back to playing w/ biodiesel.

I can barely wait for the weather to warm back up too....making biodiesel in the winter is less than ideal. Ok, REALLY less than ideal, it just plain sucks.

But, warm months should be coming.....c'mon sun, bring some of your ray's this way!

Signing off....
Sicker that crap....
