You might try www.mailblocks.com, though in my experience the free account isn't generous enough unless you empty the Pending mailbox every day. Pay $10 a year and you're golden.

It had shut my email right down so I had to change my email address. Hateful task that... Spoof it...

Fourteen miles to school, through the woods, fording the creeks, the snow never less than knee-deep and up hill both ways. Of course he had to go in an hour early to build the fire so he could claim the 10 cent a year payment for having done so. |

Then there was the time that we were driving the Mammoths down past
Lake Umbagog to Mooslucmeguntic. Well, what with the glaciers & all, the bridge pilings were looking mighty shakey. ANd there's nothing crankier than a wet Mammoth. (THey don't swim so well - the hair bogs 'em down.) So I looked the situation over, and figured that if I stood on the ice, I could sorta prop things up as the Mammoths crossed. Well, things went O.K. for the first two, but Jumbo was #3, and his weight drove my feet plumb throught the ice. If I hadn't been so good at treading water... Thank you for making that clear. I bet you could fill us in on that rare French feline, the "épeé-toothed tiger." Quent |
