Oy... >_<;;
Dec. 19th, 2002 11:38 pmSo my aunt Sue (my Dad's older sister) just got a computer and internet access. And she has just discovered the joys of email, and sent a group of us a...note.
Which is _long_, lacking in *any* paragraphing whatsoever, and is written in all caps. ...... *flails!!*
Doesn't help the note is basically her talking about all her health problems (she's a nigh-psychotic hypochondriac), her divorce (she was involved in that JerrySpringeresque situation some months ago when her husband, my uncle, took off with my other aunt's bisexual partner), and with her talking like my grandmother is on her deathbed (which tho she's old, and not in the greatest health, she's in no way about to bop off to the great beyond right this minute).
*sigh* So, in short, a wacked-out family member I really don't wanna deal with has my email address, and has email/posting habits that would have me laying the verbal smackdown if it were someone I saw on a messageboard or mailing list. Gah. *ponders* Think I'll harvest off the other family members' email addresses off the note and delete the message. Hey, come on, I sent her a card for Christmas. That's all the contact I need for a while. (and I'm not the only family member who's running in fear--and my Dad is way pissed that she got ahold of my stepmother's email address ^^; )
