It seems that the wristwatch business has sent a flyer or something to every retailer in the World with my email address. My spam filter has been filing at least 6 to 10 emails a day trying to sell me a time piece. I guess they don't know that I'm from California and I am supposed to always be late!

at first there was enlargment pills, mortagage and debt consolidation, and viagra spam..
now there is Hoodia diet pills, small cap stocks, and cialis..
i have 3 mail accounts, one of which is 8 years old and probably is on every spammer's DB..

i get 80-100 mails a day in total.. only 5 are legit
luckily my filters are rather efficient

In my case, a lot of people seem to be very concerned about my poor sexual performance, are trying to convince me to update my PayPal account or insist that I collect my lottery prizes.

Apparently I have grown a D!ck or P$nis(not trying to avoid the filters, this is how it looks in the spam) and need Cialis Viagra or a bigger package.
Also I may want to refinance my mortgage NOW NOW NOW....

I have heard from every exile from every 3rd world country who wants to split their inheritance with me. So far that comes to almost a trillion dollars.
I also have 34 mortgages on my house and I have no dysfunctions in any area as my medicine cabinet is full of every miracle product and drug known to man.
I have also won lottteries in 6 different countries, all without ever buyng a ticket and there are dozens of hot women in my neighborhood who want to meet me.
Life is good!

I'm am apparently in dire need of a larger pen!s and a degree that I can earn in as little as two weeks. And although I am very healthy, I am supposed to stock up on alot of perscription medications at discount prices. My house that I don't own also needs a refi.

If people judged me by my email I'm a sad person. Why can't they send me emails about all the cool stuff i do like milling about on a forum all day, I'm so money and they don't even know it.
