      I feel so lucky to have been saught out by this person, especially through MRF?  Of course this email is a hoax, but it was odd that she used melanoma.org as reference to how she got my email.  Maybe…. MRF wants me to have this woman deposit the six million smackers into my acct. then I will donate the money to them….. I'm onto you MRF… ha,

                  OH OH OH  I recieved one too from dear generous Joy! alas…… Poor Jerry you did NOT get a little note from her?

                   

                  wide spread,  up here in Can-an-a-dah eh?  

                  Mr. Yoop  if I could post on this site I would show you yes I did infact get a patch, it was a horrid black thing.   but my sister crocheted a 'fish shaped' thing of pink, white, and I think another colour.  One would wear it with the tail of the fish plopping on my right cheek.  My dotter FORBID me to wear it. 

                  Needless to say I had plenty of gross looks given to me at the performance, but what a trip when the bright spot lights came on, and the wee pocket (for depositing meds) got a flash….whoooooooooooo!

                  My dotter (albeit not 8)  and I always take shots of what ever it is I have done.  Brain shots, eye shots, even a series of shots removing a huge non malignant lump from my back.  Doctor was quite impressed hahah.

                  I had a spot of trouble with my Mac and the hard drive (or so they said) went bad, and I lost many many of my photos, I have yet to find them. 

                  I hope you soon can jig about merrily.

                  Oh ya, John is prob busy 4 wheeling around with his wife.

                      I got this too, at my regular email addy instead of my hotmail addy.  It didn't mention anything about money.  Did you email him/her and then find out it was like those Nigerian 'mugu' scams?

                      I followed a place online  years ago, and the creator liked to mess with their heads.   A few times, he got THEM to send HIM money (for shipping a picture or a bank account #, because 'he didn't like to put his accounts online, but he WOULD send it via mail".  LOL!  Lots of times, he'd get the people to send more papers, more pictures, more whatever, and THEY would end up being out money for postage.   Shoot, wish I remember what the name of the site was; it was quite entertaining! lol!!   I wouldn't reccommend baiting a scammer—the page listed a few people who had gone so far with their emails, the scammer actually came to the U.S.  It COULD end up being dangerous.  But like I said, sure was fun to read about all that stuff!

                      So how is 9-toes doing, anyhoo??  Hope you're healing well and getting used to being without that baby-toe.
