The book swap

There are currently 17 people signed up for the book swap. And perhaps there would be more but my email was totally full. After deleting some 2000 messages and then deleting them AGAIN from the trash can I am now sitting at only 50% full so any messages sent should be received now. The address again was emmamcdonnellATshawDOTca. Oh, I did learn to do the AT and DOT after receiving hundreds of emails proclaiming me the winners of British and Irish lotteries, asking if I would like a bigger penis (not really, quite happy with the one that shares my bed) and would I allow the wife of some Nigerian in exile to deposit his great fortune into my bank account?

I have to tell you, I almost fell for the British lottery one. You see, I am the holder of 200 premium bond numbers. And in my 34 years of life I am the only one of my grandfather's (the purchaser of said bonds) 5 grandchildren to not win. NOT ONCE. My brother used to win almost constantly. My youngest cousin won a thousand pounds. Even Taylor has won twice. But me? NOT ONCE!

So I was quite excited to see that I had won the lottery. So excited I ignored the fact it said lottery rather than premium bond. I even called my mother saying I had just won the big one! A million pounds! And then my mother, that bearer of bad news to the gulliable among us, said "Well, how did you find out? It would come to my address." As I said they emailed me I realized how stupid I am. Sigh. I had that money spent in the brief minute I was a millionaire.

Anyway, I digress, as always. So the book swap....email me by July 25th, feel free to link to it in your blog. Wouldn't it be nice if I had one of those fancy little buttons? I do not. Beyond my limited computer talents, I'm afraid.

I'm hoping to get everyone their partners by midnight mountain time, and email everyone then.

Oh how annoying, I can't believe you have never won when you have 200! To rub it in we only have 10 and we've won 4 times now!
Maybe the luck will change.
Book swap sounds great I emailed you.

I just get the penis emails and emails from someone named Angie who wants me to see her pics. Which are apparently of her naked.

Sigh.

I re-sent, just in case. Thanks for doing this. I gave you a plug on Sunday.

No book swap for me but your penis and lottery spam has me laughing.

Julie said...

I just emailed you - I'm in.

At least you only fell for the lottery one and didn't give up your bank information to some Nigerian in an internet cafe! :)

Love to swap a good book. I'll email now.

I won't be signing up this time, but maybe another time. I had to laugh at your lottery story. You have quite the way with words.
