Fwd: VIRUS ALERT....THIS IS A BAD ONE!!! Subject: Fwd: VIRUS ALERT....THIS IS A BAD ONE!!! VIRUS ALERT If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," delete it immediately. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. - It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disk within 20 feet of your computer. - It demagnetizes the strips on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. - It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. - It will program your phone to auto dial to call only your mother-in-law's number. - This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. - It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their dates to your Visa card. - It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun until someone loses an eye. - It will rewrite your backup Files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the interpretations of key sentences. - If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, - It will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. - It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk. WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.** . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In case you are a blonde,.....this is a joke. Ö¿Ö

Would appreciate it if you would follow up on this & the other scenarios you are tracking Well there's the one that says we go up six weeks into the election. Like that one better. <gg> IMO, it is a contrarian view .... will help make more informed investing decisions I'm a skeptic by nature and have trained myself to take a contrarian market view - because it's remunerative. I find it easier to post upbeat views when everyone is down than vice versa. I'm just not comfortable throwing ice water onto a party. After all my view is only an opinion and frequently wrong. I did come out of my shell enough to repeatedly warn Dusty (Polvie) about margin with Naz going parabolic last Feb. Even that was a little stressful for me. At any given time I have several scenarios, and I'm never sure when the market may hop from one to another. On a completely different note let me thank you again Ö¿Ö - man for the jgs site. I used her ideas to construct my Owl. Owl has been my nickname for decades. Guess it's just my people watching/lurking nature. Thanks again. ,___, (°v°) ( ^ ) ¯¯¯"¯"¯¯¯ the lurqer
