I have a Telus e-mail address thatI never use. I received it as a consequence of signing up my parents for ADSL at their place. Telus e-mail addresses can undergo a lot of turnover. You can change your e-mail address to almost anything you want just as long as no other Telus customer has it.

I gather I wasn't the first person to have my Telus address. Everyone once in a while I get e-mails that obviously aren't for me. Once, I got the medical test results for a newborn baby's vision from a hospital. No joke. I've also received preliminary plans and budgets for real estate agreements. Just a few weeks ago, I got an e-mail from mom, not my mom of course, but somebody's.

Last week, I got another one of these unintended e-mails. Here it is:

"Hi Erwin,
Thanks for the copy of the 'Believers Declaration'. I still can't understand why you wouldn't read it to me again on Saturday.....

Coffee on Friday afternoon sounds great. I'll be home after 12:30 if you want to call and we'll where and when we'll go.

I have a huge exam tonite. I don't think I studied enough for it and I'm a little nervous. Or should I say a whole lot nervous, I was wide awake at 2:30 in the morning. I'll have to turn up the music even louder on the way home tonite so I don't fall asleep behind the wheel.

Talk to you soon,

Belinda"

Should I reply to this Belinda person and tell her she's got the wrong person? Usually, I let these things slide, except if it's important, like the mom e-mails and the medical reports. I think I'll let this one go unanswered. I hope she did well on her exam.

One of the benefits of running this little dog and pony show is that anyone can go on Google find my site. Over the years, I've had numerous former classmates find me and some even send a little message. I wonder about the people who don't send me anything, but continue to read the site.

Anyways, just a few days ago, a former high school classmate stumbled upon my site while looking for lesbian porn researching schools. She sent me an e-mail updating me on her life. While it was short, it was a nice little note. The last sentence read as follows:

"Good luck with your life (from your intro it seems as though you need it)"

I'm pretty sure it was said in jest. Even if it wasn't, those things in my intro aren't even true anymore. About the girlfriend... oh wait... ok... well then there's the car... no... yeah... well, that part about having a poor paying job ain't true... I don't even have a job anymore...

In a dazed stupor today, I began to let my mind wander. I daydreamed about James Bond villains for some reason. I thought, "What if we combined the evil Blofeld with the menacing Oddjob?"

Yep, we'd get the supervillain named... Oddfeld. Oh how I pray for sleep.

If you type in "virtual bartender commands" in Yahoo search, my blog entry comes up as the fourth result on the list. And I don't even have the full list of commands.

I have no idea why, but tonight I'd like to remind everyone that the movie The Goonies holds a special place in my heart. The DVD of the movie is also quite excellent. And, someday, I'd like to go down to Oregon to see where they filmed it.

Surprisingly, since I started this blog, I've typed the word "porn" only seventeen times in my posts.

When it comes to the effectiveness of cleaning products, I trust the opinions of homemakers and parents with young children. If they say something is good for cleaning, you can bet it does the job. So, when a young mother, wife, and homemaker found the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, she just had to write a positive review about it on her web site (for all her friends to see). Take note of the very first type of stain she says it's good at removing.

I'd say the Magic Eraser is a must in any household!
