Default ... so what is spam?
I have found out my spamfilter might be a bit too hard on the comments I get. Perhaps we could share some information about what is spam and what should be approved?

... Eh ok?

I just don't answer them. I know that's a PITA, too. So, a lot of times I turn the ringer off on my phone.

For example, I survived cancer. That's great. What isn't is that the hospital calls me EVERY STINKING day wanting more money. It's not like Medicare hasn't paid somewhere in the neighborhood of 100.000 bucks on this, and that I'm paying on ALL the bills, and will pay until the day I die. They always want more, more, more, and they don't want it monthly, they want it all now. So, I turn the ringer off on my phone. Most of my peeps text anyway, so if I don't answer right away, it's NBD.

It's all paid by the state where I live and they just turn the tax screw on, wherther they need it or not. At least the labor party do, the other part of the parliament lower taxes and suddely decides dental surgery is no longer health related. Better not let either settle there too long I'll say.

Our parliament decided all sales representatives have to stay off if people register in a register made for the purpose, so naturally everyone registered. Now no one calls anymore LOL.

No such parliament for IP adresses though *sigh*

I have Medicare and it pays 80%. You would think if a hospital got a check one day for 80,000 or so on an account, they would be happy. But, no. And I understand health care is expensive. And believe me, I know God used them to save my life, so I am grateful. But, for crying out loud!

Here is the US we don't consider dental care part of health care, either. Isn't that weird? And, oh goodie, chemo and radiation ruin the teeth. So, I've just dropped a cool thou at the dentist office (well, my dental insurance, my blessed mother, and I).

But, IMO, it is better this way than being taxed to death some most governments with health-care benefits are. Then you end up with a two-tiered system anyway. Those who can afford to just pay use different providers and get better treatment.

There we disagree. It depends on culture I would think. In my country the rich people go abroad, so if the hospitals and docs want something at home, they cry for the governement for more money, rather than moving out. We have a massive organization here around the capital with 20k staff and and 22 billion money budget each year. Benefits and drawbacks to that as well of course Source

As far i remember, the true reason why they call rubbish E Mails spam is: Monty Python´s sketch about spam, spam, spam, eggs, sausage, and spam without spam. But with some spam inside.

sigh....I love Monty Python. One of my sims is in the Monty Python custom career and he was just promoted to pet store clerk. I looked at it and thought ???. Then I remembered. I wonder how many time that pixel will have to tell people their bird is pining for the fjords.

MP had truly some unique ideas back in the 60´s. Lol hey yes, the parrot was not dead can´t be! Some pets simply just "sit around" in cages right? Here is a second sketch, bit older as the pet shop version. The clerk refuse to admit, the car is trash lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9igQ18GIqvc You know the sketch?

LOL. I don't remember having seen that one. Thank you for posting it. That was such a funny show, lightning in a bottle, it was.

And of course, some birds like to lie on their backs in the cage resting. Even if you flip them, they're so talented they land just the same way, still, of course, pining for the fjords.

Did you ever see the one where one of the characters brought his mother into a funeral home for burial? It was about cannibalism, but it was just hilarious. As I recall it ended with the guy's who mom was dead, saying he did feel a bit peckish.

John Cleese started a "solo" project at that time. How to irritate people, is truly interesting. Never saw anything like MP before lol. The very first sketch i watched in tv, was the last episode (Party Political Broadcast) about the disgusting family: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3Ws2m38160 And it thought: WHAT THE?? Love it i want more! Which sketch you saw first? LOL of course, parrots are stunning they can talk, and act! Good thing is, you don´t have to feed the little boy, if he just play dead.

LOL the Undertaker sketch in the Queen episode? OMG yes i remember that one heavy huh?

Sweetie, I'm so old I remember when the shows first broadcast in America where I live. They were late night on PBS (Public Broadcasting paid for by the government at the time). They ran late at night, and I would stay up and watch as often as I could. Just too funny for words.

I remember How to Irritate People. Like everything Cleese ever touched, it was pure gold. Did you ever get to see Fawlty Towers?

Oh well the BBC in Britain, showed each episode late at night as well. They had uhuum "doubts" about the sketches lol. Did you know that the BBC, tried to overwrite the original MP tapes, after they showed the last episode in tv? The guys had he weird idea, to replace everything with sport or live shows GASP! But Terry Gilliam was faster, and he bought the entire material. Yes ooh Fawlty Towers, with Cleese ex wife is excellent! You remember Mister "Barcelona"?? Man he was brilliant. Oh the epsiode with the rat in the kitchen, OMG how funny that was.

I LOVED his wife. Cleese is so powerful as a comedic actor and tends to overpower the others, but the actress who played her was VERY talented and incredably funny. To this day when someone is talking to me and kind of droning on, I was to reply in my most nasal voice, "Oh, I know, I know". But, only nerds like me would get it. It's kind of like when I make random MST comments and people just look at me with odd expressions on their faces.

No, I didn't know that about the tapes. I'm glad Gilliam bought them! What we would have lost! I do remember the BBC wasn't really crazy about the MP gang and only let them have free reign because they ran them so late at night, and didn't really do political humor.

Plus, they wrote enough protest letters to themselves; they didn't need criticism from the BBC.

They were "just silly"

when i had that for the first time i was really like: what have i done to get spams , i didn't done anything wrong , that's atleast how i reacted,
but now i get used to this since last year or so and ignores this spam thing

i almost answered my name and my last name, my address, my country and so forth (i even almost answered my mobile number)
but my thoughts said not to do it or i'll get in trouble with myself and the others (especially my parents)

but since last year or this year i found out they do this for the money so i learned from that mistake i almost made
and like i said earlier: you don't know what they do about all of that stuff

there are Always bad people who do stupid things about all of that and maybe who knows they are gonna find our houses if you really gonna answer your addresses so my advice is: don't answer all of this stuff unless you wanna get in trouble with all of it
