A couple of clues are when you've never heard of the person/entity being recommended ;), and when said person/entity either has very few friends, or none or close to none of any of your friends.   I shall await TD's clarification on the matter.  ;)

Well, I went back to my old typing habits a while after i started feeling a little better yesterday (I guess intentionally to test it), and the pain I thought was a pinched nerve seems to have returned.  Guess it is computer-use-related, as much as I hated to accept that.  :(

Yesterday was a long day and I stayed up much too late after the show and didn't get enough sleep and now I have to go to work for a while.  AND I still have a show tonight, then a matinee tomorrow...then only a couple of days off before our pay-what-you-can performance on Wednesday. :)

Dear Beloved

beleive you will treat this mail with the fear of God. It is with a tears that
I am writing you this mail, I dont need your pity, but love to my adopted son.
I adopted him at the age of 3year and has since became my beloved one
because my wife did not born,i mean barren.

It will be a surprise how i can contact a stranger that i dont know before but
there is nothing i can do at this stage than to hope in Almight God that my
son will not fall into wrong hand

Because of this the family treated her badly and give her no rest that she is
the one that did not allow me to marry another woman that will born for me.
She was later poison by unknow person and died.

Because we married legally,i refused to marry again and this make my family
to rise against my adopted son which i protect very well.

Since af ter this painful and sorrowful inccident of my wife,my cancer sickness
got worst and i have been suffering from heart failure .

My reason of writing you this mail is due to the sad news that came to me
recently from the doctor.After my last diagnose result, it was proved by the
doctors that i may not leave for more than two to three weeks if i am lucky ,
due to the damange the cancer have caused in my system unless I undergo
an urgent surgical operation which my chance of survival is less than 20%
according to the medical experts.As it stands, I have given to faith.

But i have a more concern problem,that is why i have contacted you. Please, this
is about my adopted son.Since it is now obvious that i will die, my son's future
have been the greatest problem i have.I want you to take care of my son
please.He is only 13 years and i have no person here to take care of him if I
die t oday.

My family may kill him as they kill my wife,because i feel so.I have some money
in a deposit house , which we intended to use for investment in europe.I want
you to take this money and my son.

Use the money into a big investment, that you will manage until my son grows up
to take over the investment.I will like you to take my son as your own son, give
him the love that we his parents would have given him. Do not let him feel the
pains of being an orphan. give him good education, bring him up into a
responsible man. Make him have the fear of God.

Please do not refuse this task. As soon as I receive your reply, all i
will do is to look for a lawyer here, who will draw up my will in your favour.

The fund is is US$8.5million I will give you all the documents that is covering
the deposit with the deposit house, i will transfer eve ry power and right of
ownership to you to enable you claim the deposit from the deposit house.

It will be also included in the Will that you are the only person my son should
be released to, if i die and you are entitle to 20% of the fund.
All i need is your acceptance and assurance that you will not treat my son
badly.I am writing you this mail with great tears and i pray you to be kind in
concering this matter. Please reply this mail immediately.Thanks you.

May God bless you.

Mr JAMES WILLIAM.

I just went and checked TD's friend recommendation--it's for someone/thing called Spirit Guide, and it looks like TCB and Swishy Sarah are also friends with it/her.  I have no clew who this person/entity is.  ;)

I got the same thing and assumed it was bogus, so I ignored it.

Yet another clue that it was indeed bogus.  It probably went out to everyone on TD's friend list.  I also ignored it, not to state the obvious--I just wanted TD to know that his account may have been hacked.

I'm back in the City of Studio, but have to leave for an hour whilst she of the Evil Eye finishes her work.  The flight was on time and fine and they even served us a little weird breakfast thing.

Hmm, my pinched nerve (if that's what it is) actually twinges more when I type something bitchy.

Wonder if bitchiness uses more intense movements or something.

TD, I got what looked like a spam friend recommendation from you, hence my comment about your Facebook account.

If that friend recommendation was for Spirit Guide, it was legit. . .

Miss Betty Buckley suggested Spirit Guide to me and I promptly suggested Spirit Guide to others, so, there's a clarification for everyone.  :)

Serious question - What suddenly made Betty White so very "hot" all of a sudden?



The Super Bowl commercial.

I think it was a combination of that and other projects like THE PROPOSAL.

I know you're asking Arnold, but the answer is the score for the film "Royal Wedding" by Lerner and Lane.
