It Never Hurts...

I hate chain mail. I don't believe in them and they are a waste of my email space. What kills me is that you are supposed to send them to 10 of your bestest friends in the whole wide world. My argument is that if these 10 people are my bestest friends, there's no way in hell I'm going to proactively try to get them to start ignoring me by sending them chain mail.

So, here's my deal. I kind of like the following good luck chain mail that was emailed to me. Golly gee, wouldn't be it cool if it were true? So.. instead of bothering you all, I'm just going to post this. Since there's a few hundred people who visit this site, it's like emailing to all you guys.. so my good luck is going to be multiplied by 10s.

This is the email chain mail. Just the fact that you came to this site constitutes my having sent it to you. It's the 2008 way of doing things. Email is soooo 2006.

And yes, you guys are being sucker punched with this. It's now in your hands. And I'm going to sit back and wait for my phone call.


This is spooky
OK guys, this truly is freaky, the phone literally rang as soon as I read the last word of this email!!!!!
I am taking the bait - what do I have to lose right? Hope it works! Supposedly The Phone Will Ring Right After You Do This. Just read the little stories and think of a wish as you scroll all the way to the bottom. There is a message there - then make your wish. No attachment on this one.
Stories :
I'm 13 years old, and I wished that my dad would come home from the army, because he'd been having problems with his heart and right leg. It was 2:53 p.m. When I made my wish. At 3:07 p.m.(14 minutes later), the doorbell rang, and there my Dad was, luggage and all!!

I'm Katie and I'm 20 and I've been having trouble in my job and on the verge of quitting. I made a simple wish that my boss would get a new job. That was at 1:35and at 2:55 there was an announcement that he was promoted and was leaving for another city. Believe me...this really works!!!

My name is Ann and I am 45 years of age. I had always been single and had been hoping to get into a nice, loving relationship for many years. While kind of daydreaming (and right after receiving this email) I wished that a quality person would finally come into my life. That was at 9:10 AM on a Tuesday. At 9:55 AM a FedEx delivery man came into my office. He was cute, polite and could not stop smiling at me. He started coming back almost everyday (even without packages) and asked me out a week later. We married 6 months later and now have been happily married for 2 years. What a great email it was!!

Just scroll down to the end, but while you do, think of a wish. Make your wish when you have completed scrolling. Whatever age you are, is the number of minutes it will take for your wish to come true. ex. you are 25 years old, it will take 25 minutes for your wish to come true). However, if you don't send this to people in 5 minutes, you will have bad luck for years!!

Go for it!!!

Congratulations!!! Your wish will now come true in your age minutes.
Now follow this carefully....it can be very rewarding!!!!
If you send this to 10 more people, other than the 5 that you already have to send to, something major that you've been wanting will happen.

Message: This is scary! The phone will ring right after you do this!

I'm practicing my breathing for my phonecall. I am in my lace nighty awaiting some action.

I am tired dialing 976. I would be nice if they paid once in a while, so here's hopin'.....

I am expecting the man of my dreams to appear in the next 42 minutes - weighed down by an XL Tim Horton's English Toffee cappuccino, a toasted Subway BLT, and a fat wallet - I'll keep you posted...

hazel said...

I wished to be a size 6, win the lottery and have my agency call with a surprise referral.

And my phone rang immediately!

Unfortunately, it was the wrong number....

Matthew Ruley said...

Okay, its SO freaky! I was hoping I'd get THE CALL and within a few mins, I got a phone call and it was the WRONG NUMBER! What does that mean?!

A in BP said...

Did you get your call yet? First thing this morning (8:45, you'll be up, right?) you should get a call with a referral. That's what I wished for. Much love to you.

aaaahhhhhh...that is why I have had so much bad luck in the past....i delete these things as soon as I see them....within the first line even. I knew there had to be an "logical" explanation!

Instead of emailing these things on to friends you should email them on to all the people who have taken all the good email identities that you really wanted. You know what I mean... you really wanted to be HotMama@something but it was already taken... BOOM she gets all your annoying forwarded emails from now on.
