Received From My Niece

While catching up on e-mail, I see one from my niece Kelsey. It reads:

"http://home-income-newsllc.ru/?4L87ZL IExplo redTh eWor kFromH omeW ebsiteA n dHotMys elf F amil iar WithI t

And truly discover love at its plateau."

I am pretty sure it is bogus, for a few reasons.

1. She has about as much reason to e-mail me as Superman has to lift weights.

2. Teenagers generally are not motivated to work from home (or anywhere, really).

3. Kelsey would not make a silly mistake like "and hot myself." I might have been fooled had it said "and got myselfff."

4. I know from hours of philosophical conversation with Kelsey that she would never describe love as something to be discovered, but instead developed and given freely from the heart. She certainly would not try to sell me on the idea that love should aspire to plateau, mainly because she has never said the word plateau.

Concluding that it is a spammer, I'm left in wonderment. Who is his target audience? They'd know English words, but not English grammar. They desire to work from home, primarily so that they can achieve a state of flatlined love.

The web site appears to be from Russia. If this is evidence of their overall ability to strategize, I say we invade.

I'd have been a little more concerned if a spam email "from Kelsey" were peddling Viagra or some other male enhancement product!

LOL! No fear guys...I got the same one. And funny you post this, because just last night I asked her..."Have you checked your email lately?"

"No, why? Who's gonna email me?"

"I dunno, maybe something important."

"Mom, none of my email is important."

So there ya have it....
