Statute of Limitations

Ok, there should be some sort of statute of limitations placed on people being able to call up and say "hey, it's ME."

That just happened to me. And I'm like sitting there thinking "uh...noooo....I just spoke to my "me" about 15 minutes ago, and that AIN'T YOU."

So, I'm sitting there, knowing the voice, but thinking "me me me" and it hit me. Of course, it was a give away. The biggest Me-Me I know. The other giveaway was when the next line started with "I....." Me-Me.

So, I'm sitting there, drifting in and out...thinking "ok, I'm still on a high from my last call from my real "me".....and now this. Don't bring me down. Can you call me back when I'm paying bills, or trimming the dog's privates, or shoving bamboo shoots under my toenails....something, anything, where this will not bring me down."

This same person felt the need to send me emails for awhile. They were kinda like a newsletter "What's happening with ME..." drifting between fact and fiction and totally blurring the lines. I wanted to get off the mailing list. I thought about replying with just "unsubscribe" in the subject line.

Anyway....what's up with people thinking they can still call up and say "hey, it's me." Even my mother says, "this is your mother" to give me a hint (like the heavy German accent doesn't give it away anyway....at least she puts in the extra effort).

Oh well. Mission not accomplished. Still flying high from talking to my real "me." Although I still have no idea what the reason for the call from the "me" imposter was. (it's like really bad grammar to end a sentence in "was," isn't it?)

glad you're posting again... too much time between posts makes me crazy.

how are things going with the breakup? i've been thinking about you, wondering how you are.

you cracked me up with the unsubscribe business. i have someone that emails me every stupid email forward they get and i'm now seriously thinking of replying with "unsubscribe".
