Spammers surely have their own place reserved in hell. I get a lot, but my email does a nice job of filtering it. Though it sometimes sends things I want to see to the spam folder. Because of this, I tend to skim the contents before deleting. (I had an email from Harlequin go to spam — yikes!)
You know the trends. Male enhancement products (no, I do NOT want my thing to be bigger because I don't HAVE a thing, thank you), dates, h*rny girls in your area, people on webcams supposedly wanting to hook up, lottery wins, cheap drugs, etc.
But a new one cropped up lately that had me giggling. Don't know why, but I find this one funny: see your neighbor n*ked (the asterisk will hopefully prevent blog hits, but you get the point). Now why on earth would I want to do that? Have you seen my neighbor? I don't live next door to David Beckham or Brad Pitt, you know!
No, I live next to normal people (I hope they're normal). There's a good ol' boy who likes to fire up his lawnmower at 7AM on a Saturday (no kidding), an air marshal, a few engineers, and maybe even a military guy. No one I want to see in the buff.
What I really want to know is who falls for this stuff? If people weren't clicking on these emails and following through, there'd be no spam. So someone could right now be viewing a nude neighbor. That's something to think about the next time you disrobe for a shower, eh?

I love the kitty picture!!
Hi Lynn
CONGRATULATIONS on your win! I know, I know, I’m sooo late getting this out there, but I’m sure you’re not sick of hearing it yet 🙂
I love your blog, especially ‘What Would It Take’ (I really feel for your friend) and this rant. Like you I have received invitations to enlarge a piece of anatomy that I do not possess among the millions of dollars I’ve won in an imaginary lotto.
I’m hoping that you might take pity on me and give me some advice I can never seem to get a Zokutou word meter, I go to the website, I fill out the little thingo hit the submit or whatever button and BAM! the page reloads, fresh, unfilled, and devoid of any pretty WIP bar 🙁 does my computer just hate me or is there instructions somewhere and I’m missing something?
Can’t wait to read your entry on I(Heart)Presents and the rest of your journey.
Good luck and thanks for the inspiration!
Nikki
Hi, Morag! It’s a cute, if angry, kitty, huh? I thought it was great. 🙂
Nikki, thank you for the congrats! Which blog program are you using? You didn’t leave a link so I can’t go visit. If you’re working in Blogger, you have to take the code from the word meter site and go paste it into your template. Let me know and I’ll try to help more!
Hey, I had a neighbor I would’ve paid good money to see naked…Hummina!
Not that I don’t love my Geek, but this guy was just pretty to look at. I’d be sorely tempted…except he moved to Alaska last year. Darn.
Pretty to look at is good. I don’t have any neighbors like that, unfortunately. Though I did have a Dutch neighbor in Germany who had the tiniest bikini I’d ever seen for a man. Too bad he wasn’t like your neighbor… 😉
Hi Lynn!
Thanks so much for your reply!
I tried Zokutou again and there was this message about the word meter having been broken 🙂 LOL! So it wasn’t me (which is a major relief because with my anti-technology thumb I tend to blow up computers on a regular basis). I’m in the process of creating a blog but I’m trying to use the advanced option to link it to the web address I’ve reserved but haven’t yet created… is it any wonder it’s not working? LoL.
I love YOUR website by the way! Particularly the title (my favourite so far), pictures and colours, ANYONE who hasn’t seen it needs to get over there!: https://lynnrayeharris.com/
Thanks a bunch Lynn!
Nikki
