Is it just me?

I am just floored by some of the email that is forwarded to me.
It's partly the content of the email itself, but mostly it's that someone is reading this email & thinks, "huh, I think I'll forward this to Amy (or Jeremy)".
Yesterday we received one that we've gotten before. It's falsely attributed to Andy Rooney & it is a long, bitter, racist, sexist, and downright nasty diatribe. The subject line was 'This is Great... Forward it'. Hopefully none of you have had someone send it to you, it is absolutely ridiculous.
Others that I get are in support of prayer in school, an end to affirmative action, a call to arms for anti-abortion activists, the proud to be an American screw-you-if-you-don't-agree war rants, etc. I don't get it.
Granted, none of these are from my friends. They're usually from my co-workers in other branches in the company I work for, or from Jeremy's co-workers. Every once in a while I get one from someone that I really like though.
Am I the only one who gets these? Is it that I don't articulate my stance on issues?
I guess if you don't know someone well, maybe you don't know where they stand, but if I don't know someone well, I don't forward crap to them.

Welcome

I've added a few links lately. Traci & Kelly have blogs now, so check them out. :) Can't wait to see you two chicks on Friday, I hope Abby is ready for this invasion. We will have a blast. We all really need this night together. It's awesome that Amy is coming too!
Also we have a "gurls" weekend with my Lansing friends planned in West Olive the weekend of February 23rd. We'll probably head out to the bar or downtown GH shopping, so if any of you chicks over there are free that weekend, maybe we can merge my "chicks" group with my "gurls" group!
Can you imagine?
Total chaos!

Not sure where this is going

I just have not been able to get back into posting. I've decided to just make myself do it today so here goes...
I added links to two of my long time friends websites today. Traci I've known since kindergarden, so that's about thirty years. Abby moved to our hometown (in West Michigan) in 8th or 9th grade, so about twenty years? Correct me will you Abby?
There are about seven of us women (me, Kelly, Traci, Angie, Abby, Michelle, Char) from our hometown who have known each other longer than our husbands, boyfriends, coworkers, and most of our every day friends have. We try to get together once every few months for a girl's night, and we have a night planned for one week from today.
I was back home this week for Kelly's father-in-law's funeral. In the midst of such sorrow, I am amazed by how quickly we fall back into such easy laughter and joy in each other.
After the tragic death in my family this fall, I feel a deep appreciation for all of my friends and family back home and here in Lansing. I am thankful for the support everyone offered me in November and the support you continue to offer to me as I struggle with Sarah's death.
I am thankful for all of you who endure my endless stories about her, allow me to cry, and offer to help me through this in so many ways.
Thank you.
