My Crazy Thoughts
my thoughts on various topics.

So...Name a color.

I've been meaning to post for days now, I just never get to it, not that I'm doing anything that's taking up so much time that I can't post, I'm just lazy. I've thought up several posts in the last week or so. I'm surprisingly witty in my head. Too bad the wit never makes it to this blog.
I went to the mall today, and it's been so long since I've been to the mall myself I started to wonder if I'm aloud to go to the mall by myself. But then I saw Justin and Samantha there and since they can go to the mall by themselves, I probably can too. Really, it's been a long time. And I noticed how much the mall needs a wash and wax, it's getting a little run down looking. It could use some new signs and a good pressure wash.
Recently I've gotten 2 e-mails from people I don't know about this blog. It's always fun to get e-mails from strangers saying they liked something I wrote about or are going through something that I went through and are glad they aren't the only ones feeling the same way I did once. Interestingly, in both cases, I almost didn't open the e-mail. I have the same yahoo account I've had since we went online when I was in high school. I think it must be the oldest yahoo account still in use. I should get a prize or something. But it causes a problem in that I get a LOT of junk mail. A LOT. I've always been one of those e-mail pack-rats. I don't delete anything. In the early days of my e-mail account I would constantly have that yahoo reminder that I was nearing my limit, and when it got to about 105% of capacity, I would go through and delete enough e-mails to be down to about 90%. I was probably the happiest person whenever they increased my limit. But when Gmail came out, yahoo increased their limit to match. And I now have no problem with my limit. It has a bulk mail filter which filters most of the junk mail and deletes them after a certain amount of time, I don't ever even look at it. And I just let the junk mail that makes it into my inbox sit there. I only open the ones I recognize and rarely delete anything. And even after doing this for a while now, I'm only at 12% of my limit. It also means that if I don't recognize your name, and your subject doesn't ring a bell then I might just figure it for junk and skip over it. It was just luck that I read either of those recent e-mails. So...I'm considering moving to my gmail account. I got one when they first started testing Gmail, because it was offered through blogger, an arm of Google, which is the parent of Gmail, I didn't even need a code, I was a bad test dummy though because I didn't use my Gmail. But I do check it occasionally and I haven't gotten a single mail their yet. So they must have some good spam stuff going on. The only thing stopping me is that I've had my yahoo account for so long, and I don't want to miss e-mails from anyone who wants to get a hold of me.
So the moral, if I don't know you and you want to e-mail me about the blog, then mention the blog in the title, so I know to read the e-mail. And if you e-mailed me about the blog and you didn't hear from me after, then I probably didn't read your e-mail, sorry, send it again, because I like e-mail that isn't trying to sell me male enhancement products or refinance the mortgage I don't have.
And as for the color question at the beginning, if you said anything but red then you aren't a typical north American. That was a trivial pursuit question I got off my pringle. Apparently when you ask most North Americans to name a color they say red. So far, this is not the case. Let me know what you said so I can count you in the survey.

Note: the trivial pursuit pringles are great to take on a picnic, we got subs and took them to the sugarmill park and had a little picnic before Nikky's soccer game Sunday.
