Daughter: "Mom, you should add a profile picture"
Mom: "I tried, but couldn't get it to paste!!"

Just a thought-
Some of the people who may enjoy reading us because they're able to laugh at themselves, won't be able to follow it because they just don't know how to RSS.
What a vicious circle.
What a vicious circle.
Tiny niece, huge pic
Dear parent,
A BMP picture can be re-sized and condensed using JPEG.
This way, it won't take 5 hours to send me an e-mail with one picture of my cute new niece, and when I open the picture, her eye won't be larger than my head.

Same Dad, different day...
What is the deal with sending me the same spam garbage over and over again?
Below is a list of spam I wish to stop receiving:
1. Anything "inspiring" the Dalai Lama said.
2. Lists of "funny" things that happen to you when you get old.
3. The winners of "this year's" Washington Post's Mensa Invitational word contest.
4. Pictures of cute dogs and cats.
5. Requests to forward e-mails in order to save someone's life (they are probably dead. the original e-mail is dated 6 years ago).
6. AOL\Microsoft conspiracies. (They won't pay anyone 100$ for anything. you will pay them. "Really! It works!")
7. Those pictures of the amazing street art that looks like there's an actual hole in the pavement to Narnia. Amazing, but i've seen it a million times.
8. Power Point presentations with Celine Dion singing in the background and close up pictures of flowers with a drop of rain on them, and the eyes of a tiger, and a baby hugging a kitten, and nature in Africa.
9. Power point presentations of architecture in the world. (I personally prefer traveling there and seeing them myself).
10. Power point presentations of construction in Dubai\ Dubai wealth.
11. 100 reasons why Israel is amazing.
12. 100 reasons why Israel is terrible.
13. Pornography. (These e-mails don't necessarily repeat themselves, but they are Gosh-Darn-Inappropriate for father to send child).
14. "funny" things that happen to you when you get old (this was one of the first ones on the list, but you probably forgot that by now. f-u-n-n-y.)
love,
General child

Our Ever Expanding Universe
In an email from my father, dated 4/5/2010:
"....Had lunch w/ a former classmate, who has( as is now diagnosed) Asbergers Syndrome. It's a form of autism. It was fun, and interesting. I haven't seen him in about 30 years. He's doing OK, way better than I expected. He's in the Guinness Book of world records, a few different times. Do you understand the word " perseveration " as applied to psychology? It means to perform a task repeatedly, with no goal. It applies particularly well to autistics. And in Lee's case, it produced a 5600 page poem entitled" A Cure For Insomnia". Out of room(???)"
