Does anyone else have parents who send them forwards of forwards of forwards from work and thus include every fucking email address ever created in the email? Mostly, these emails take me 1,304,093,389,089 minutes to transfer from the server. ARGH, if I get one more goddamn kitten picture from Mum, I'm going to

My mother sends me e-mail forwards ALL THE TIME. And they're always TERRIBLE and usually about Jesus. Or kittens.

[retronami]

But never about Jesus doing kittens. :(

[immortalis]

Sadly, no. See, that would make them good. Or at least amusing.

kittens in santa hats doing the Macarena to the sounds of Chex Mix being eaten?

[retronami]

It's like those Holiday CDs with the sounds of those digital animals braying out christmas songs...only worse!

Not 100% confident here, but a .pps is a PowerPoint presentation. Still not necessarily safe to open, but it still might have the kittens.

I'm just glad my mother is presently unemployed and I only have to avoid the handful of "meaningful friendship/relationship" bits that I have to put up with.

Interestingly, a book I'm reading right now compares chainmail to a virus. Although chainmail is much more contagious and might cause more damage overall. I'd write a chainmail of my own, post all the names that got attached from before, and send it right on back to your e-syphilitic donor.

.ppt is powerpoint. I've seen .pps used for virus', but it does have a real purpose, just can't remember what atm and I am too lazy to look it up :D

[retronami]

I'm not so much worried about viruses, but I assumed it was some extension I'd need Windows software for...which is about the same as a virus...:D

Kidding.

Mostly.

This is why I'm exstatic that my mother is completely computer illiterate.

[retronami]

My mum is just barely able to send emails...I am jealous of your computer illiterate mother. :D

I'd trade you the grandmother who always sends emails with Harry's CAPS LOCK OF DOOM, but I'm fond of her. She's a cutie

I hate my cousins for the same reason. I'm the youngest grandchild in the family by quite a stretch, being the youngest daughter of the youngest child, so everyone, except for one person, had about a decade on me.

And for some reason, they all insist on sending the same forward (usually about how Jesus won't love you & send you straight to hell if you don't forward it to your closest 50000 friends) within minutes of each other. Before I didn't have Gmail, which kindly groups them together, I almost went psycho trying to delete them quickly as theu came. Hence, I now only give family members my school email, not my personal email.

I need to switch over my emails to one my mum's friends don't know. But I've had this account for over 10 years, and it's too second nature to give up.

And Jesus is a fickle biatch.
