Gun control

Even though I have never heard a legitimate argument FOR gun control, I beat the dead horse with one more example against it.

We've been to the Embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in few hours from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills. Well I really need your financially assistance..Please, let me know if you can help us out?
Am freaked out at the moment!!

Actual family member, correct email address, no address forgery, and that person was on vacation with the itinerary matching up. Then the follow up email:

As soon as it is done, kindly get back to me with the confirmation number. Let me know if you are heading to the WU outlet now???
Keep me posted.
So now, you have somebody broke into your email account and is trying to take your friends' money AND YOU KNOW THEIR PHYSICAL LOCATION?? This is not a difficult problem:


You call your local patriot friends, get in the car, and handle the situation. And by patriot, I mean gun-wielding.

Of course there are no patriots in UK, which is why the scams are taking place there.

Other potential titles: The US Embassy Doesn't Want You Know About This Kidnapping in Manila Scopolamine / Devil's Breath Trip Report It started Easter weekend This story starts at Noon Tuesday April 18th, 2017 on Makati Avenue. I just finished a meeting with the Philippines Board of Investments to discuss how my company can expand our business in Manila. (Also saw the QBO Innovation Hub , it was awesome.) I had plenty of time to kill and some emails to catch up on, so it's time for some brain food! I walked right to the hottest part of town, Makati Ave. and Jupiter Ave. , surely there will be something good to eat. And then suddenly, The Guy approaches me, I'm marked. Hey, I know you are you staying at the Jazz Residences? Jazz is about a 12 minute walk to here, and I did not walk towards Makati Ave. from that direction since I just came from the meeting. I'm always guarded with information and paying attention to stuff like that. There's abo

Grandmom bakes virus bread

I thought chain mail was a recent phenomenon. Meet friendship bread. Friendship bread is the email forward of yesteryear. First you receive the "friendship bread" from someone who "cares about you". This bread only lasts for 10 days and then goes bad. The idea is that you have to take this bread and work it into an ingredient in your own bread which takes 10 days to fully prepare. At the end, you have a yield of two times the original amount of bread. These bread spawn must be given to other "friends" who are now obligated to continue the forwarding, or else. If the chain is broken, the bread goes bad and nobody wins.
