Forgetter Be Forgotten My forgetter's getting better, But my rememberer is broke To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering If I really should be 'there' And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer! Oft times I walk into a room, Say 'what am I here for?' I wrack my brain, but all in vain! A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say 'Hi' and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, 'who the hell was that?' Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy And that isn't any joke! -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

I enjoy some of the listings and some are down right to personal and rude for my taste and those are easy to delete.. but the frequent ** poor pitiful me cause others don't care for my brand of humor** routine is pretty boring and I think I can live without this list. unsubscribe

I agree with doug. Please keep your stories coming Dianne.

Later that same day, he followed with, "Looks like I'll be coming in late tomorrow, but if my coming in late runs into my leaving early, then I won't be in at all." ========== In the days of the Old West, bar fights would often spill over into the street and before anyone knew what happened, it was a full-scale riot. In one such town, the Mayor wired the Texas Rangers for help. On the next train, a Ranger gets off and is greeted by the astonished Mayor. "They only sent one Ranger?" The Ranger straightened his hat, brushed the dust from his coat, and replied, "Y'all only got one riot, right?" ========= Ricky was at the mall and went into a toy shop, picked up a toy plane, gave the shopkeeper fake money and started to leave. The shopkeeper told him, "Excuse me little boy, this isn't real money." Ricky continued walking out of the shop and didn't reply. The shopkeeper repeated himself, and Ricky kept walking. The third time the shopkeeper called him, Ricky said "What?" The shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry, young man, but this is not real money." Ricky looked at the plane in his hands, looked at the shopkeeper and finally said, "And this isn't a real plane." ========= Q. What do they call the carrot who talked back to the farmer? A.

Anne: Couldn't have said it any better. People send me their jokes and stories, and I post them. They are reluctant to do so themselves. I enjoy Dianne's stories very much. I'd love to have had that kind of relationship with my family. I have 4 boys and 2 girls, 8 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. We had fun together, but Dianne really cracks me up. She is really enjoying her grandchildren! I have gotten my share of criticism over the years, and have learned to just delete it and ignore it. My delete key works just fine. With the kind of world we live in today, we could all use a bit of humor in our lives. Edna -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 5.6 million users fighting spam.

Wow--- I can't believe this! Look people, you can't expect Edna to carry this whole list. While I enjoy her postings, I also enjoyed Diane's postings. GenHumor <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Miscellaneous/GenHumor.html> - http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Miscellaneous/GenHumor.html For the exchange of genealogy and family humor including poems and jokes. This mailing list is lumped into the genealogy category on rootsweb. I'm pretty sure from the description that humorous family stories are what this list was intended to be for. It doesn't say copy jokes from all over the internet and post to this mail list. There are hundreds of places to find jokes online. Maybe if this list wasn't so stuffy, other people would post. I think this list needs folks like Diane to change it up a bit from what this list has become. Edna does a great job, but why do you folks intimidate others from posting? If you don't like what's being posted, delete it. Easy as that. A few people shouldn't be able to control this list. It's for everyone. And no, I haven't posted to this list because of exactly what you folks have done to Diane.

There is a post script at the bottom of this story BURNT TO A CRISP IN CYBERLAND. Dec, 1999 Back in July and August of 1999, I sent some of my stories about babysitting my grandchildren, some of the funny things that have happened to my family and just general havoc and tragedies to the GEN-HUMOR list. (humorous stories, At least I thought so) After a few postings, I received a lot of private e-mail from people who said they enjoyed reading about my humorous adventures. Then I got a note from the list lady of the Gen-Humor list and she said some people were complaining about my stories and I should clean them up so the small children that read the list wouldn't be offended. I thought O.K. I can do that I guess. Then some people wrote into the list, flaming me, and this went on for a week or so, while I could do nothing except sit here and read what they said about me, like: "quit sending this crap to me", "This isn't a list for Fred Flintstone repeats", One lady said "She is a fragmented person trying to make herself whole" and one said "I am tired of using my delete key to dump your stories then have to use it again to delete from my trash". And don't forget this priceless one, "We don't need you airing your family history on the unsuspecting public". and "You think this is funny? I for one don't" There were some others, but you get the drift. Christ, it's only a story, not a book! Well as you know, by now I was feeling pretty degraded by being flamed over the internet, with quite a few people reading this stuff, I was afraid to open any post that said "Dianne's stories" Maybe it has helped me, and I can go back and clean up the stories to make them suitable for every anal retentive, pinched faced person to read. Or I can say the hell with them, it's my story and I shall report anyway I like. I don't know these people and have never heard of an "E-MAIL STALKER" Maybe they find out your address and phone number from somewhere on the net and harass you by phone or send you private e-mail death threats. Boy looks like I'm off on another good story. See there was a good side to it. I will write a story on " HOW I WAS FLAMED AND DEGRADED ON THE GEN-HUMOR LIST" OR "LIST POSTER HUNG OUT TO DRY" OR " BURNING AT THE STAKE IS STILL ALIVE IN CYBERLAND" or "FRAGMENTED SOUL TRIES TO MAKE HERSELF WHOLE" Anyway, Only those who ask shall receive from now on. I don't post anything on any list now, this was my first time for being the object of a flame war, and I didn't like it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is now 2008 and people from the list wanted me to send them my stories privately and now I have over 100 people who get my stories as I write them. People from Austrralia, Canada, England and Japan. Even all my grandkids teachers love getting them. One day I wrote as story about a happenening at school where a little girl ran away and hid from the teachers. I sent it out to my teachers and everyone was laughing about it, and a couple of teachers who didn't get my stories ask what was going on, they felt out of the loop, so now I have 6 more people at the school on my list... Everyone thinks I should make a book of them, maybe I will. Maybe I should just stick to my 100 people and forget the lists. I know a lot of my stories are not funny for everyone, but I try to write stories that relate to every day life that we all have been through, only I try to make it humorous. Every time I post anything I get flammed!

We all have a different sense of humor so everyone is not going to like every thing but that is what the delete button is for....As long as it is not offensive then I say keep the jokes coming....everyone. The list certainly not be for making anyone feel bad...so lighten up....enjoy each day! In a message dated 11/5/2008 11:42:15 A.M.

I disagree in part. First, I, too, have a great deal of respect for Edna. I am glad for all of her messages, and for keeping this list -- and when needed, my spirits -- going. As far as what Dianne writes: I am worried that this kind of negativity will prevent others -- like me -- from making our own contributions. Our wonderful government gives us the freedom of speech, including the freedom to write. Who are we to censor someone's sense of humor, (if it is not of sexual/racial/or of a political nature)? If we don't like it, we should do as Audrey does: just delete it. That's what the delete key is for. But you might miss out on a nice story. I forwarded one of Dianne's stories on smoking to a friend who is quitting smoking ... As a former smoker, I could relate to her story, and it brought a smile to my face, and hopefully my friend. If you see some message that is too sexual or too prejudiced, or otherwise offensive, I think we should quietly send a message to the writer, expressing our disapproval. Or just delete it. Other than that, if one person enjoys it, someone else on the list may, too. Thank you, again, Edna, and thanks, too, to Dianne and all of the others, who try to put smiles on our faces. Dianne, I hope this dialog will NOT discourage you, or anyone else, from posting to this list.
