Hey Merit,

Sorry if you covered this elsewhere, but what do you think were in the Bush funeral envelopes? My dad is fascinated by it and I think it's a little strange too.

I didn't touch on it because there's really no way to know. Maybe Bush 41's death triggered some sort of "dead man switch" that will somehow fuck those people who got an envelope.

Same here. That's what I was trying to explain to my dad. There's no reason to speculate specific things with so little to go on. Still, kinda weird.

All I said is that your posts come off spammy because they literally mimic the kind of posts that spammers...post. I've said that before. We just go in circles.

Nah I don't think so. I don't think I convey my posts the right way or they come off different than I think they do. But I've known that.

Your posts come off as spammy more than anything else. By that I mean you're like SPAM compared to the real meat of other frequent posters.
