    1. [NJ-Memories] Can You Guys Please Help Me?
    2. I'm still getting bunches and bunches of individual mail from friends on the list, and I'm getting overwhelmed. Would all of you please limit your forwards to me to just one per person per day -- pick the best one and send it on? And if it's one of those e-mail warnings about something or other, please check it on a good urban-legend site before sending it on (I use Snopes.com; they've been really good). Some people are sending me five and six pieces of mail a day; and when you multiply that by how many people who are doing it, I've been getting sixty or eighty new e-mails every day. It's taking me between two and three hours a day to deal with all my e-mail, and that's more time than I can afford, especially around the holidays. And some days I've had to take the time to check out four or five of those darned urban legends and hoaxes, just in case they just might be true, and they almost always aren't. Thanx for your help -- and I hope I'm not hurting anyone's feelings. If it weren't for the fact that I work eight hours a day three days a week and have a house to keep up and a husband to spend time with and outside responsibilities, too, I'd love to get all that mail.
