Pickin' bits and pieces of stuff outta Aunt 'Net's mail dump

Within this post, all links are designed to open pictures in pop-up windows

My regular readers know that I often get a lot of forwards from my favorite aunt, an AOL user. As many of us 'spect, there is an unwritten AOL rule that you have to forward ever'thin' you receive via email to ever'one in your email address book. So far, I ain't really seen anythin' novel enough in full form to share with ya'll, but have found parts of several that are worthwhile to see.

If I was one of the people who do caption contests, I might think this photo fully qualifies for such an event.

This little bit seemed to be the real meat of another:

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?

(F)ather (A)nd (M)other (I) (L)ove (Y)ou

My aunt sent this to me knowin' that both my parents are dead, that I am widowed, and that I have no children. I keep trying to tell ever'one that I don't have any real family. I lack any direct ancestors and any direct descendants.*

Then there was this alcoholic holistic approach to avoidin' the flu:

You can take the doctors office approach. Think about it, when you go for a shot, what do they do first? Clean your arm with alcohol. Why? Because alcohol kills germs. So......

I walk to the liquor store (exercise), I put lime in my Corona (fruit), celery in my Bloody Mary (veggies), drink on the bar patio (fresh air), get drunk, tell jokes, and laugh (eliminate stress) and then pass out (rest). The way I see it, if you keep your alcohol levels up flu germs can't get you!!!!

*I am mindful that durin' several youthful indiscretions durin' the time of my service in the U.S. Army in the early 70s, when oft such acts were consumated without so much as an actual exchange of names, conception could have possibly occurred. However, I flatly deny the claim that I am responsible for any part in the birth of the monstrosity pictured here.

Your aunt seems to be lacking education in basic tact.

Forgive her, she knows not what she does.

That cold remedy sucks. You need Southern Comfort for the cough, with a twist of lemon for the vitamin C. You can get the veggies somewhere else once you stop the cough. Spewing out half-chewed bits of carrot ain't attractive.

The fresh air, laughter, and passing out works.
