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!

  1. 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.

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

  3. 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.

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

  5. 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!

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

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

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

  9. I would just delete it without replying.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
