Unsubscribe

For the past few months I have been getting emails along the lines of this one:

                                Welcome toKETO TonewX


There is a helpful link noted at the bottom -- to unsubscribe click here.

Well, why do I have to UN subscribe to something I never subscribed to in the first place.
Just plain annoying!

    I've read that it's actually better NOT to unsubscribe. That let's them know they've reached 'a warm body.' Instead, block them. If your email provider allows that.

    I was getting that email, too. I just sent it to Spam without opening it.

    And who knows what will happen if you click on unsubscribe. I wouldn't click on that button. It is annoying, like the robocalls I get.

    We also rarely answer our landline as it is always from people who want money!

    Agree, right to spam. My problem recently is texts to my phone making some kind of suspicious promise and asking me to call a number. No way ... delete!

    I just block them. I am leary of "unsubscribe."

    I have a bumper crop of those things. I’ll try ‘blocking’ them. Thanks for the tip.

    I agree with Arkansas Patti. I send mine to spam folder or I block them. It is very annoying.

    I would just delete it without replying.

    Toss it into trash. Delete trash. It is a darn fishing lure to get your IP. Never open what seems odd or unfamiliar. Even weird text messages are starting to make rounds to lure people to reply. Nada. BAD idea.
    Furthermore there are some forwarding scam to avoid. If a text is a warning and says pass it on to friends just delete it fast and no forwarding.

    I, too, was advised it’s best to not click on unsubscribe —- just send unread to spam and block if continues. Often when they get no response messages eventually stop is my experience.

I appreciate readers' comments so much. You don't even always have to agree with me.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Morning Coffee

As a rule, I drink two cups of coffee in the morning. Gone are the days when I drank coffee all day and even had a cup after dinner--and never decaf.  When I was a working mom, the sleep deprivation made it kind of necessary in order to function.  These days, if I had a cup of coffee after lunch, I would be awake all night. But I do like my morning coffee.  Now I mix regular and decaf.  I can't quite seem to kick caffeine entirely. Wednesday morning there was no milk, no white stuff of any kind.  Thursday morning my sone left a note on the coffee maker--carafe was cracked.  Desperate times! I was not able to find a replacement carafe.  At least I was not able to dedicate my entire day to finding one.  So I bought a Mr. Coffee--a little five cup one for around 15 dollars.  I was thinking that I never drink more than two cups so why not. What I forgot about is that the manufacturers of coffee makers definition of a cup is, at best, ha...
