Incredible. <BR/><BR/>Not only are we probably related in past lives, but we may even be the same person. (See "Strange Questions from a Strange Mind".)<BR/><BR/>By the way, I found this statistic about the Nigerian email frauds: 'Estimates put the losses from these "Nigerian Advance Fee" operations at over $1 million "every single day" in the U.S. alone.' No wonder democracy doesn't work in the U.S.; it requires a functioning brain. <BR/><BR/>Oops! Maybe I shouldn't have said that, Wombat, until I asked if you've accepted Mary's offer. No offense intended.Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134828658060646685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-5601854572145847122007-05-24T23:14:00.000-05:002007-05-24T23:14:00.000-05:00It is a small world, Fleming.

AND all the money Mary can hardly wait to send me. You claim to be Mary Crowder's dear relative, but don't expect canny Fleming to fall for Internet scams and frauds.<BR/><BR/>I like that story about the reason for all the Marys in your mother's family. My mother should have tried that with me and my two brothers. When she wanted to call one of us she often ran through two of our names before getting to the one she wanted.Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134828658060646685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-6974440785081478712007-05-23T13:40:00.000-05:002007-05-23T13:40:00.000-05:00Now, whereas my "first comment" on this post was m...Now, whereas my "first comment" on this post was mere fun-poking, this comment is serious and true!<BR/>My Mom and her two sisters were named Mary Helen, Mary Yvonne and Mary Lou. Grandma's thinking (other than being a churchgoing lady of great goodness) was that all she'd have to do was call out,<BR/>"MARY" and all the girls would come running!My Mind's Eye...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09882831508899284050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-35930205600351921012007-05-23T13:38:00.000-05:002007-05-23T13:38:00.000-05:00Fleming, you may just be SOL on this one. You see...Fleming, you may just be SOL on this one. You see, Crowder is a family surname of ours, on both sides as a matter of fact and record and I am quite certain, without any doubt, that Mary wrote to you in error and that email was meant for ME. But then again, giving more thought to this you are absolutely right: the kissin' cuzins were Mary Margaret, Mary Lee, Mary Clementine, Mary Jo and Mary Elizabeth... none were ever just plain old ordinary Mary!My Mind's Eye...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09882831508899284050noreply@blogger.com
