Fw: Fwd: Fw: My Mom is Spamming Me

Unread messages pile up in our Gmail inbox with titles such as, Social Security Changes, Interesting Observation, Farmers That are Bored, Rarely Seen Shuttle Activities, 1909 Ford, Words for Women to Live By, A Women's Week at the Gym, Surprising Laugh (turn the speakers up loud), and The Ziploc Omelet. Our moms are now using email to make sure we know about all the important mom stuff that they cant tell us about in the morning while eating breakfast or on our way out the door to school or work. These emails are sent To: a huge list of people you have never heard of (except for your mom), From: some other random person who means nothing to you, and Fwd: (by mom) to you, siblings, family members, friends, and more people you have never heard of . These emails are fairly harmless and often are a cute mom joke (possibly borderline dirty), a warning of some kind, and may be politically motivated. We might not know why our moms send us these emails, but its your mom and she loves you. Below are a list of rules to help you deal with Subject: My Mom is Spamming Me.

Rules you must follow when it comes to Mom Spam:

1. NEVER tell your mom you don't read these emails.



2. Continue to "send to trash" before reading BUT NEVER TELL MOM.



3. NEVER continue the Fw: Fwd: Fw: by sending to your friends or coworkers (that reason deserves its own explanation and list of rules.)



4. NEVER call it Mom Spam in front of your mom.
   


5. NEVER tell your mom to stop spamming you.

Thank you mom.

Love,

Greg

HGL Beginning To Suspect Creative Director Suzi Montgomery Might Not Be American

Oh say can you see? Suzi Montgomery hopes not! Here at HGL, Suzi Montgomery has been busy multitasking, keeping her eye on the future while blinding those around her. Speculation has set in and people are wondering "who is the real Suzi Montgomery, loyal American or a Canadian." The smokescreen around Suzi is starting to clear causing HGL employees to choose sides. When asked about Suzi's Dual Citizenship, Billy Thomas replied "Look, we would love to help Suzi out, but there is one thing Higher Ground Learning doesn't believe in, and that is handouts and global warming."

Good luck Suzi Montgomery, some of us are behind you and your unknown agenda.

Dollars For Doman October 16th

On September 19th, 7 members of Higher Ground Learning's Staff ran 5 kilometers to raise money to benefit research for ALS (Bob Marshall 5K: Kick in the ALS). We had such a great time and were happy to be among the 7 fastest people there!
