So I started a blog...
Which is funny, considering how seldom I post here, but I wanted somewhere I could write longer content on a regular basis. It's at http://www.momsguidetothegalaxy.com ... my best friend helped me come up with the name.

Amusing spam
"I from Russia. My name is Tatijana. I wish to marry. Here my questionnaire (registration is free)." (Link removed.)
Dear Tatijana,
I'm female and married; I suspect I'm not your target audience. -

Dear spammers,
Signs you failed your INT checks when sending me spam:
There are no photos of me "of that type" posted by "some jerk" on the internet; if nothing else, all of my friends know that "your" is not spelled "ur".
