My Mom, the "FWD" Alarmist Queen

Anyone else have a mom (or dad) who sends FWDS, even against your wishes, that contain life-changing notices or witty anecdotes.

I got one today about cleaning off soda cans or soup cans because some guy got yellow and died from eating some sh*t in some place.

Yesterday was about a lady in her 90s in a bathing suit, with multiple pictures of her wrinkly, saggy body parts squished into a Wal-Mart bathing suit.

And the day before that it was about not flashing my lights because of the GANG ACTIVITY.

Point is: I'm going to kill my mom.

These are the times I'm grateful that my parents are terrified of the internet and have no idea how to use it.

My mother knows how to play on pogo, that's about it. And I'm lucky if my dad sends more than 2 sentence e-mails.

My mom also calls me "Matt", and I think it's JUST to piss me off. Just because.

"Look Matt. You need to know this!!!

Woman killed by her own credit card."



I really love my mom. She's cool, crazy, and very smart.

Apparently "Don't send me forwards anymore, bitch" doesn't click with her!?!?

my mother has no idea how to go to a website and even see pix I've posted. When she finds me on AOL, it takes her forever to respond to an IM....now when I see her come on, I run.
She is SO one of the computer impaired.
My dad goes downstairs, locks the door to that room and goes online......God knows where, but I have this horrible idea that one day I'll see him listed on a sex site, EWW!

That soda can e-mail made it's way into my inbox as well. Only slightly edited to encourage me to drink from dirty cans more.

It's ok, she just wants my money.

Not that you have any risk of running into him there...

Out of all the porn joints on this planet, I had to run into you, Dad.
