I won't drive drunk, either, cause I'd get grounded for 50,000 years and never get a chance to get a license !! Btw, when ya get old enough to drink, DON'T ever drink tequila. That just gets ya grounded With a sour gut to go with it .
Oh, and mainly, if you're gonna dream, dream all the way ! Tropical island, Spanish galleon, & pirates !! I'll be the one with the parrot !!

Speaking of Internet predators, can anyone tell me how to keep porn emails out? Mikes 26 yr old son used his puter to sign up for 2 porn dating places and he used Mikes email addy. We didn't use that puter for about 2 months & there were 1400 emails - most porno. I sent all to spam folder but more comes every day. That brat was told to stay off puter but he doesn't listen. I could not repeat here what the emails say on the subject lines - gross. And, they are from some of the same ppl - just changing their name. His son's been told to go back to the sites (on a different puter!) & remove the email addy but I don't think it'll stop them from coming.
Since I cleaned up his inbox yesterday, there are 26 more. Thanks

Definitely sounds like a predator thing to me! Dad says ya can go into your email, click the messages ya don't want, and click the spam button. He does that to get rid of a lot of ads. My internet's filtered but I still end up with ads, sometimes.

Anybody else know of a way to solve Patty's problem?

Yeah, mark them as 'spam' when they come in your inbox...then you can just 'empty spam' without even having to look at them. Also, if you open up individual messages, they usually have a link you can click to 'unsubscribe' or take yourself off the list. I do this on messages from time to time and it really cuts down on the overall amount of spam I get.

To be honest, though...EVERYONE gets porn spam....doesn't matter if you've signed up or even GONE to any sites like that...they send it to everyone without discriminating.

Just something dad said: 26 year old = brat = no. 26 year old = man = yes. Men have dated for thousands of years without computers. If the man, in question, refuses to grow up, you should consider a parental filter.
What I say: I can't even imagine dating somebody at a porn site. I don't think they'd be very interested in a relationship or marriage.

Where's mine !? All I ever get is emails from relatives, friends, and the 7 sites I belong to. A gun site, 4 plant sites, and 2 music sites. Also from school type sites but if there's porn on the internet, somebody's doing a great job of hiding it.

LMFAO...I don't think there is much 'dating' going on at those sites. And you seriously don't get any porn spam mail? I get stuff advertising pills to 'increase the size of my member' all the time and never clicked on anything of the sort. It just goes in the spam folder and gets deleted, but occasionally they make it past the filter.

Haven't got any, yet, and it's real frustrating! Pills that increase the size of your member? No thanx! Got enough trouble already!

Hey Eric, tell your Dad I said thanks for the encouraging pm! Mike should have some of your Dad's parenting skills!
I opened a email from the porn dating site & at the bottom it said "click here if you wish to NOT get our email notifications" so I did. Now still getting individual porno emails -some go to spam & others I just have to send 'em there. I don't know who these ppl are..the emails are not being sent thru the dating sites. I wonder if Mike's email addy shows on there - or how did they get his email addy? He got over 50 in spam now less than 2 days.
Hey Eric, thanks for reminding of the parental controls! I never had to use that before.

Patty, I'll tell him when I go down to breakfast in the morning ! Yeah, guess dad does pretty good cept about my stereo and stuff, but he's okay. Dunno on the addy thing. But I heard on the news that people sell info, about other people, to companies. Or maybe it's just all one big company with a lot of names.
Well, the parental controls thing was dad's idea... on my computer, too. Guess I'm kind of glad they're there now, though, after what happened.
Hope everything works out okay ! That must be a real mess to have to deal with. Since the threads all about that kind of stuff, let me know how it all works out !

Well, you could always delete that email address and get another one....this is always an option. Then you start off with a clean slate again.
