Don't call me a woman- that's going too far!

Don't call me a woman- that's going too far!

We all get spam.... Over the years, I don't really know that I've been particularly blessed or cursed with regard to my share of spam- I've probably gotten as much as the next guy.  I've had great spam-blockers, I've had some that weren't worth a dang thing.

I think Hotmail is pretty good at snagging spam overall- I probably have 30 messages a day that end up in the Junk Mail folder.  Not too bad..and I always check to make sure nothing good go thrown over there by mistake.

Like many of you, I've won the lottery.  They've tried to seduce me into buying every type of sporting goods and memorabilia that comes along.  I've also gotten so frustrated that I've talked to my computer screen and told it "No, I don't need to enlarge my......! It's just fine, thank you!"

The spam gods got me back today... I was sifting through the usual junk- Viagra this, Cialis that... when there it was..

"....you're being considered for inclusion with the National Association of Professional Women's Distinguished Women of 2010"

The issue of the year notwithstanding, there remains a serious problem here, folks.  I can handle losing those lotteries I've never entered...and I can handle it when they keep trying to get me back into every club I've ever joined and bailed out of. I get by, I stand strong and stay out of the DVD and CD clubs, health clubs, etc.- and only get a bit annoyed at the "Come back!" messages. I know marketing, and respect it...

but don't call me a woman- that's going too far!

My husband and I have two different last names. I love it when he gets mail addressed to Mr Thomas D Laity. His last name is Morgan. That's the junk mail that goes right into the trash. He thinks it's funny, too.

Dennis - first, congratulations. It is great to get noticed. As for man or woman, it is a 50/50 chance, they missed it this time. You still have 50% chance next time they will include you in the proper list (LOL)

EXCUSE ME!  Dennis * I've gone 60+ years being called MISTER.  The receptionists at my dentist called for Mr.Gibson and when I stood up, she said NO! I called MR.GIBSON....EXCUSE, Me!  I'm the only one willing to follow you to the chair and DRILL!

Hi, Debbie:  Thank you for stopping by.  I've also been victimized by the Dennis/Denise thing- been called Denise more times than I could ever count!  You've got wheels turning now, though...I could go with Denise for this and that- and it'd make sorting the mail that much easier!  Dennis...keep...Denise...chuck....oops- can't use another guy's name!

Hi, Jon:  Thank you for stopping by, and for your contribution.  I appreciate folks noticing all of the work I put into my NAPW campaign!  Thought I'd get to meet that Robin Dorian lady...yeah, that's it...lol.

Hi, Wallace:  Thank you for stopping by.  I've been in your boat, too- sort of.  There was a period where my voice was changing a bit...and if I'd had just one more McDonald's drive-through genius tell me "$5.87.  See you at the 2nd window, ma'am", they might've gotten slapped and I might've had a video on one of those news shows like the lady that flipped out when should couldn't get her chicken nuggets!

More opinions than you want to hear about.

So, what's the difference between a professional woman and an amateur woman?  And why does the NAR sanction sex based organizations anyway?

Hi, Mike:  Thank you for stopping by, and for your comment.  Good points all- as is the case that so many folks of any ilk that purport to be "professional" are anything but so.

I guess amateur women hone their Realtor skills without pay...Wait- that wouldn't set them apart, either!

Wouldn't that be an amateur REALTOR or real estate agent?

Hi, Mike:  Thanks again for stopping by.  Maybe it's like law and medicine...doctors and lawyers surely want to be considered professionals, but they're never good enough to quit calling their businesses "practices".
