My Spam Box Is a Big Fat Liar

Rate: 24 Flag

To Everyone I Found In My Spam Box today ... and all the rest of you who may be reading out of idle curiosity...

I checked the number "11" in my OS Spam Email Box and found messages from "favorites" and those I regularly exchange PMs with -- Now, I can only ask, what are you doing OS? In the meantime I'm prompted to say....

I'm around snooping and muddling in other people's business these days, b/c writing appears to be behind me.  The Silent Muse has refused all entreaties, and actually some of the treaties, courtesy of beloved OS family on my homepage under Foodie Tuesdays, and has remained frozenly silent for several weeks (months, but who's counting?).

In the meantime, I am basking in the glow and snow of all of my OS friends and neighbors.  Delighting in the cinnamon and holly, the deerscapes and the not so dear, and commenting ad nauseum on blogs that some wish I would 'unfavorite', most likely.

I figure Trig, Tink, Nana, Lezlie, Femme, Blu, Cartouche, Susan, Ann, LC, Crank, Matt, Steven, MTN, Amy, Bonnie, and even Lea and LL2 deserve whatever comes their way via me since we've known one another for a long time... but there are some others that may want to kick my behind right about now for ongoing commentary despite my lack of contributary writing this Fall. 

After all, how is it fair that I comment, 'judge', offer advice, and am otherwise obnoxiously present on the blogs of those on my "favs" list, without giving them equal opportunity to knock me on my own (witty?) writings and commentaries? 

It's a dilemma.  

One I'm not taking too seriously because it's The Season and I'm taking advantage of the Goodwill and Good Wishes of everyone here at OS.  

So to everyone reading, God Bless Us Every One and To All a Good Night!  Thanks for everything you've ever meant to me, and that includes you Stellaa!

I first noticed real PMs going to my spam folder several months ago. Nowadays I check it regularly to see who got dumped there.
Sounds like a filter issue. You seem to really care. That takes a lot of work.
It's happened to me, too. Like nanatehay, I check it every once in a while.

And no need to apologize for presence/absence, comments/posts and any variations thereof. It's all good: whatever you can do. Good to see you, though!
I'm glad to see you back, and hope inspiration comes again soon and plentifully. For now, I think you're right - enjoy the season and OS!
My spam box says there's always two in there when there's not!!!! Mine has issues, just like me!! :D

And yeah, I've been getting my favs in the Spam box too. I just renamed my spam box, EXTRA SPECIAL FRIENDS!! :D

**hug**

The Muse will come back, I promise, just relax and enjoy the ride!! ~nodding~
Right now my spam box says there are six messages, and there are none. weird.
I don't care whether you're writing, commenting or pm'ing, it's just good to see you here.

Oh, and my spam box is a big, fat liar, too.
I too found some real mail in my spam box today... yikes!

Nice to see you back, Abby!
I HATE MY SPAM BOX!

Funny thing is the real spam goes to the regular inbox.
Yes, write more often alright?
I can't even find my spam box and I'm glad!
Every week a few people are trapped in there.
Funny post and rated with hugs
Gaaaaabbbbbbbbyyyy,
You know where to find me. And when you write something, I expect to be alerted. Deal? :)
I'm sure they love your comments. I've always enjoyed you comments a lot. The muse is odd. Mine too has been very iffy. Happy Holidays.
Spam spam spam spam! It's going on everywhere and they need to get rid of that box! Thank you for exposing the sordid story.
Yeah, I check the spam box periodically too because real PMs end up there yet the love entreaties from hotslut@hotmail.com always seem to end up in the real mail.

And I love seeing your name in the comments.
It's happened to me as well. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to who ends up there. I'm just glad to see your avatar up and running. I've been thinking about you.
Apparently, the rating button is now stuck in the spam box too. Consider yourself rated, even if it doesn't register.
That Damned Cat doesn't need a spam box emptied, he needs his litter box changed.

Anyway, Gab, it's nice to see you here, whether you're putting up posts or comments.
...because it's The Season and I'm taking advantage of the Goodwill and Good Wishes of everyone here at OS.

Humbug! You thing you're gonna get of the hook THAT easy? Pfffft! ('Sides I LIKE reading your comments.) So till that bitch of a muse returns you just keep spewing your damn witty, funny (with just the right amount of snark), insightful comments where every you please and I'll follow you around and read them.

P.S. Just so you know I send stuff directly to you spam folder, just to screw with you.
Thanks so much for your blessing and yes please do have people hold the spam and with their right hand too.
My empty spam folder has been set at two since December 2009. I check it periodically, and the Nigerian princess does not write to me. What could I be doing wrong?
Acceptance in all things. You must do the things that have meaning to you.
