Spam Thursday

The world spam index must be increasing or something over the last couple weeks. Seems like I'm getting more than usual. Some are old ones, but others seem to be new and they are coming in droves.

Of course I'm still getting the old "We want to send you a billion dollars and you keep a percentage as our middle man and we will send someone to your door to collect the rest thereby saving us tax money." Here's a recent example. This one is a $49 million dollar deal. That's awesome! They will send me $49M and all I have to do is give them my bank account number, address, company name, and all my contact numbers.....including fax. Better get that fax number.....can't trust someone unless they give you their fax number.....I understand.

Also, I've learned that I am perhaps one of the luckiest people on the planet. Winning the lottery is usually a never-in-a-lifetime event. However, I have won over 10 lotteries just this week all totalling over $20 million. And that's just this week! I have won over $100 million in the last month! Here's an example:

That is so cool. So now I have all the money I could ever want. But what if I don't have anyone to share that money with? (I'm married so this is only a hypothetical question.)

I just got the following message from a girl named Loren last night:

Hello! I am tired tonight. I am nice girl that would like to chat with you. Email me at qbwrm@docmaildirect.info only. Will send some of my pictures


She seems like a nice girl. I'm touched by the thought that she would email me even though she is tired. I don't mind chatting...as long as she doesn't chat way too much. And she's willing to send pictures so she definitely not trying to hide anything.

So you see I'm having a great week. I have millions of dollars coming to me and women are throwing themselves at me. It doesn't get any better than this....although winning some kind of beer contest would be cool.....and so would a buffet lottery. Ahh, it's good to always have goals to be stretching towards.
