Fun with email
I’m not much of a forward person. Typically I read all my forwards, but unless I am REALLY impressed by it, that’s all that happens. I love all the “you are my friend ones” but don’t typically forward them, not because I don’t have any friends, but becuase I know some people don’t want endless forwards. Like my mother-in-law. She actually shut down her preivous email because all her friends and family did was forward things to her, they didn’t actually send her quality content and orginal correspondance. Which let’s face it, forwards are a great way to let someone know that you are thinking of them. I don’t think there is anything wrong with them. I just don’t tend to send them back out into the cyber void
I often get really funny stuff, which I started saving in a file to use in my blogs, but alas, always forget to utilize. Yesterday a friend sent me a fun email. It’s based on one of my favorite games – Scattergories. So I thought I would post my answers and challlenge my xanga friends to do the same — I’m not going to tag anyone, but I hope some of you will take up the challenge!
SCATTERGORIES – it’s harder than it looks! Copy and paste into a new email.
Use the first letter of your first name to answer each of the following. They have to be real places, names, things – nothing made up. Try to use different answers if the person in front of you had the same first initial – which by the
way is hard if you already have read their answers! You cannot use your own name for the boy/girl names.1. What is your name? Annette
2. A 4 letter word: aunt

What fun! I’m going to do this one.
I am not one who regularly forwards everything either. If it is really inspirational, or funny I may, but I do start to resent all the people who just forward stuff with no note or anything. It is nice to know they are thinking of me, but they could add a little note. And Jesus and I know that He loves me and I love him, I don’t think I have to full my friends with some forwarded message to prove that.
Hope you have a great weekend!
How fun! I may have to do that on my blog another day! I don’t forward stuff unless I find it very funny or really worth reading.
I’m not a ‘forward’ person either. I’ll have to do this one in my blog one day.
I have to think about this one….
Mine would be a little more difficult…
…..You can send me stuff in the e-mail.
i’m a no forwarding type of a person. i have a friend that likes to send junk to me and it will always have a send this back if you agree or love or something like that. we went back and forth with the same email 4 or 5 times before i finally gave up and stopped opening her emials. we see each other at work all the time so it’s not like we’ll lose touch.
I don’t forward often, but when I do, I clean up the email first so not everyone else’s email is spread all over the place!!!
i’m stealing this…lol
I don’t…
I’ll only forward if it’s really funny… I may just have to ‘borrow’ this survey from you! Cute…:so-cool:

Your real first name is Dale? Were the folks expecting a boy? Just kidding, I like Annette though.
I don’t very often forward. My Dad is the worst about forwarding junk e-mail, it’s frustrating at times. He forgets what he’s already forwarded so he may send it a few times.
Are you still in touch with Deanna? How are she and Andrew doing?
ZE COW APPROVE.
