Ah, if only life were so easy!! I get a lot of important work through emails from people I've never heard from (or in some cases even heard of) before.

I've had my Yahoo! address for over 7 years now, and never had any spam at all until I started listing my address on websites like this one. That does make you more susceptible, I'm afraid, and I now clear out a good 10 or so spam emails every day from Yahoo. But on balance I think I still prefer that everything comes in to one place and I clear out the dodgy ones, rather than something like the system I have set up for me at work, where the company's mail server filters out some things, then Outlook filters some other things into Junk Mail but I still end up with spam in my Inbox, plus genuine things in the Junk Mail folder, which as far as I can see defeats the object of having a Junk folder (since I have to check through it every day for genuine emails anyway).

Actually, there is a weird problem that's come up just in the last couple of weeks, at work, which is that a lot of the notification emails I get when someone places an order online through our website are now landing in my junk folder, despite all coming from the same address (and I have clicked 'Always trust mail from this address' and it still seems not to make any difference).

Yahoo now give you lots of disposable addresses which it's much safer to give out eg for newsletters or forums like this. They all end up in the same mailbox but if one address starts getting spam, you can just delete it and stop the junk. If you have lots of them, it's also a good indication of where the spammers have got hold of the address from.

Would a prescription also sort out these eyebrows? 

Last night was a really grumpy night.
Worked a little late (for me) at work and then went out for dinner and a film with my friend and colleague. Except that we ended up arguing. Well, not even arguing. Just kind of both actively staring at our dinner (and mine was a rather unappetising cremated burger) and not talking to each other. Fortunately sitting through the film helped clear the air a bit (it was Elizabeth: The Golden Age, which annoyed me intensely with its awful OTT anti-Catholic propaganda and outrageous historical inaccuracy while still being an eminently entertaining and insidiously enjoyable film) but on the way back, she fell over a cobble and grazed and twisted her knee quite badly, and then when I got home I managed to snap the arm off my glasses (it's been snagging on my jumper whenever I've taken it off for about three weeks and I've not thought much of it until last night when I pulled the jumper off and SNAP!).
A slow morning cleaning the bathroom has helped return some sort of equilibrium.

What is it with bluddy people? 

There is a woman at work that I have very little to do with, thank God!  Whenever she sees me she just cannot resist sticking a knife or two in my back. This can range from comments on my personal appearance to insinuating that I should leave because I`m not up to the job. I have absolutely no idea what I have done or what she thinks I have done, but her behaviour has become more blatant over the last 2 years. She never speaks to me in this way when there is anyone else about which, I guess, puts it into the bullying category.  By the time I left the building I was staggering under the weight of at least three daggers

A pox on her high heels, I say!!

Way to go, Milly

Here, wear these when you go stomping in and she won`t stand a chance! Do not mess with Super Mils! 

I'm aiming poison darts in her direction, Mort....
