No Sense of Humor?

I hear what you are saying. My friends know I am on dial up, yet they continue to send me huge power point mails that take 3 days for me to open. I just delete them without even looking. Getting jokes all the time has also started to grate on me.

I have asked my friends not to semd them coz I just toss them. The only time they do send them it is because it is hilarious =) I am also so fed up with it. If i wanna look at jokes - I will go to a webpage providing just that. When i open my email - i wanna have emails from friends instead of unpersonal jokes =)

Every once in a while I like getting jokes in my emails but if a person is only sending jokes and not having a discussion with me it becomes annoying and I just delete the emails. I would prefer having discussions than to receive jokes, unless it is a good joke. I get too many forwarded emails from friends and some family and I will just delete the email without reading the jokes.

I don't mind getting them once in a while. Some of them are quite humorous. My mother drives me a bit nuts with them. She must send me at least 5 or more a day. Some days I don't bother to look at them, like today. And wouldn't you know it the first thing she says when she comes in the door is "did you get my jokes?" *sigh* So later tonight I guess I'll have to go through the jokes...lol

there is a friend of mine who is always sending me funny emails or jokes...I love them because I regard them as a relaxing break during the day...and you can see myself smiling and laughing at my pc...very cute image, isn't it? I think this is her way of telling me she is thinking about me, this is her way of telling me "hello , how are you? I hope you can always feel well and happy...and I am here to make you happier and send you a big smile"...sure she succeeds in putting a smile over my face and I thank her for this.

I will confess I'm up to my ears with jokes also and I have been just passing them by. I hope I don't loose more points for admitting this. I dropped from a blue star to a red must have been because I gave my opinion, but never the less Yes I'm tired of jokes. Thank You.

Sometimes I like getting them. But not all the time. Sometimes it lifts my spirits if Im down. I like to laugh and I think it helps us to feel good. But sometimes I can get aggraviated with them especially if Im in a tense mood.

I enjoy getting jokes in my email. The only problem is what some people think is a funny joke I don't always think as funny. Lately I have been receiving a bit of mature content email jokes but it does not state in the header that it is mature content. I opened one the other day when my son was standing behind me and had to quickly close the window down. I have now warned that person that if they want to send me mature content emails they have to put at least a xxx or something in the header so I know it's not safe to open while children are about.

A few but like you just said I admit I get bored with them after awhile.

I like the joke ones sometimes and some I get are cool photos. I HATE the ones that are chain letters. You know the 'send this to 9 people and your life will improve" I hate them and only send them back to the one that sent them. ( It is usually my aunt) Sometimes I just do not even open them, just delete when I just can not read another one. It would as you said not be so bad if they added a short message from them, or even if they used the BBc to hide the addresses, and deleted some of the other FWDs that have been added along the way!

I think jokes are fun to read, but it seems like I am seeing the same ones over and over from different people and that puts me off a bit. I really wish my friends and relatives would send me more emails about how they're doing and what they've been up to. I would much rather see something meaningful in my inbox than something that I can go online and look up by myself if I wanted to.

LOL this is a problem I dealth with just a few months ago ...I emailed all my friends and asked then to refrain form sending me these silly jokes as I can't read them all and I am tired of deleting them ...they were all very gracious about it they all were very happy to do as I asked them to ...as in incircle of friends you tend to recive the same ones aover and over again too so that even makes matters worse ..I don't mind a joke or two through out the day but when you get 20-30 a day thats way too much for anyone to deal with ..plus my time is my valuable to me if I am working productivly on the computer instead of deleting or reading jokes all day ...wow I feel better already ...I was feeling a little guilty about asking my frieds to do that buit now I don't thanks ...I see other feel the same way to so that even makes me feel better about it all too ... :D

I enjoy then to a point but I simply dont have time for them...especially the ones I have to download. A friend sends me fascinating photos and pictures but it takes me an age to look at them. I rarely get "hello how are you meassages" sadly. If I do get them I always respond immediately. I don't send them now as a rule because I get ignored. I guess we are all very busy doing our own thing.

For some of my friends that mostly only send jokes I think that is their way of saying "hi". Also their way of saying they're thinking of me. I know when I'm going through my mailbox and checking the box on which friends to send a joke to, I'm thinking of who will enjoy it and who won't. I enjoy getting jokes. Some of them are really funny!

I think if I was like you and got so many of them, I too would be fed up with them and just delete them. I have a friend in the UK who is constantly sending jokes in emails and now I don't even bother to open them. The other ones that annoy me are the ones with prayers which say I will get my wish the following day, if I pass this on to fifteen more people. I don't believe in passing on these emails so I delete these also.

yap, I enjoy jokes, I have one subscription jokewebmaster, so I have a dose of jokes per day, but if my friends will send me jokes with no personal note, I think its better to slap it back at them and say, like ... Hello, I love your jokes but how about saying hello to me how are yah...

I enjoy the jokes that I get, they make me laugh when I'm stressed.

I understand what you mean. If it weren't for jokes I get in mail I wouldn't have anything from my so-called friends. There are a few that actually write to ask how I'm doing, etc. but not many. I've written to many asking to not send me any more unless they're going to include a note to how they're doing, etc.

ya i like jokes but not all the times.
