Yes, Rosie, I know where that request would go........nowhere. My wife is sort of "challenged" when it comes to stuff like that. She can change a light bulb, usually.

Sometimes we gals pick and choose our talents 😊

If you unsubscribe it only lets them know that this is a good e-mail address and you will get even more spam. I just delete a pile of unwanted and unasked for stuff each morning.

I do that, too, Rita, but it is very annoying, especially as Rosie says, you never subscribed in the first place.

It is annoying but I try to just ignore all the junk.

I do too, but it's maddening to have to spend time daily deleting unwanted mail. Most of the snail mail we get is also junk and has to be shredded.

Well even up here, we are not immune.
I had, and still have to a degree, an aversion to long johns.
I am not a moron and do wear them when it is biting cold but until sub-zero is day after day, not often.

At that, when I am outside for long periods, either working on the car or shoveling without them on---- ( if you get sweaty shoveling snow without them , and you can get hot enough that you get just plain wet from sweat, even below zero, if you wore the wrong combo, the snow melts on your pants and freezes. Now this may sound odd but once that happens, the ice forms a barrier that keeps body heat in so, snow melts and freezes till you can get it caked on your jeans. You hang your pants in the shower to drip off.)---- while I would not be shivering from exposure or anything near that, your whole body gets odd cool feeling. You feel the heat of the room but feel cool like laying on a cool sheet.
I then will sit, I slide down and sit, in the shower for a long time.

Most of my snail mail is junk also. If its not junk mail then it is bills as I pay my bills the old fashioned way. Which is get a paper bill and mail off a check. So bills and junk mail.

But I like e-mail, sure don't want to go back to the days when one actually had to write a letter to friends to keep in touch.

When I was a young woman I dated for a time a lovely young man who was in the navy. We wrote back and forth and those letters were much awaited and anticipated. Things are so different nowadays.

Hmmm, I am very old school, although I was never a letter writer either.
If I want to talk to some one, I use the telephone, land line, I have never had a cell phone or face to face.
I had a cousin who I had many interests with, who although we both had e-mail, that was used only for one or two sentence questions or info relay.
When we spoke, we talked on the phone or I drove down to the town he lived in.
Even my other half calls the relatives she is close to. NO letters, except holiday cards.
The one she is closest to also has e-mail and near never uses it even for info exchange.

I love hand written letters, Rita. I have saved most that I received as I was growing up.

I am not one to save stuff like that. I can't imagine having to go back to letter writing!!

I do love e-mailing, Rita, just consider a written note or letter a precious thing.

One of my most precious possessions is a letter my grandmother wrote about a visit from my mother and father when she was pregnant with me. (My mother passed away a week after I was born.)

I have 2 old letters that I love:
One is from a lawyer to my grandfather when he was homesteading in Canada - to advise him that he could take over a homestead because another homesteader had defaulted in the requirements. My grandfather was called "James Singleton, esquire" which I believe is just below Lord?!?!
The other letter is from my aunt, to my mom & dad when their 2nd born (a son) passed away. He was under a year, and in the 1930's I imagine there were a lot of SID (sudden infant death) babies.

I wrote my brother many email " letters " over the years but always sent a handwritten twice each year...we would joke that centuries from now researchers would use the info to learn about these times.

When my older sisters were plentiful ...I would write one loooong letter and each would get a few pages..it created a situation where they met at my sis Kitty's house (she was bedbound with MS) to read it..it involved lunch and dessert and laughter for them. Kitty is gone now..as is Millie, and Jeanne 😢😢..
Ann and Adeline and Margie remain..

Came back to say when I unsubscribe, I do not see them for months and months.. I think there is some law that makes them offer the unsubscribe and ties them toma time frame before trying again

For the unwanted emails -- if they are really "junk mail," and not some site that you actually signed up for but are no longer interested in, why not just use the "block sender" feature of your email program? Most of the excessive emails that I get come from sites -- largely gardening sites, LOL -- that I thought I wanted to get notices from, but find that I never bother opening them, so why even get them. Unsubscribing really does work for those...

Ken, temps in the teens ARE cold, even for us northerners; especially when things are still kind of damp outside. I think we just expect to be cold in the winter so it doesn't feel like as much of an affront as for a person that hasn't dealt with it; I experienced the opposite effect when I lived in S. Carolina for about 6 months years ago (which included the hottest summer months) -- whew, I felt like i couldn't breathe!

Yeah, Sandy, both extremes is difficult to deal with. The difference is that we can only take off so many clothes when it is so hot and humid it takes your breath away. We have indecent exposure laws here. At least with cold, you can layer as much as you want. You might not be able to move and will look like a snowman, but layering works.

I just stay in the house as much as possible!

I layer up and go have fun when it's this cold. Even better is when we have snow so then my nephew can come over and go sledding here.
