Question

Hi All,

Why do I get messages sometimes from people who don't have MS?
I just got one from a guy who was like 20 something (so he says) looking for someone to be his queen in Nigeria.
Sorry but it irks me.

Thanks,
Mary

Do you allow your journals to be read by anyone, or just friends? Since I locked mine into just friends, I haven't gotten any weirdos.

Hope that helps!
Good Luck and God Bless - Rana'

I've gotten a few as well - I just don't respond, so far has worked. I felt bad doing it though in case they were a lonely soul, etc, but we'd have had not one thing in common, so I got over it. Diane

seems anything with Nigeria in it is a FRAUD

Funny Larry.. I guess if I answered him he would have wanted me to wire money to Western Union for my Princess Crown. Boy in the old days you use to get neat toys in the cereal box.

Hi Warguppy,
I cannot believe someone has that much time to go shopping on every community to bother people.
ell I will say I feel safe here cause I have seen everyone pull together when a baddie comes on.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
