Since around 2000 when my wife's mother first obtained her AOL account, I've had zero interest in poems about how precious children are, lists of reasons why I may or may not be a child of the 80's, or Rush Limbaugh's ideas to keep Mexicans out of my bedroom. That's why I've spend a good 4% of the past decade just deleting emails she's forwarded to me (roughly 3,500 hours).

With the New Year approaching, I feel I should finally give her e-mail forwards a chance. Though I'll still be skeptical that the Democrats are trying to poison the world's peanut butter supplies, I feel it will be a nice thing to do for her. The 200 bucks I'll receive from Bill Gates' e-mail beta test will be pretty sweet, too.
