The emails have become a family joke (no pun intended). My brother had to learn to shut down his computer at night (she's a night owl) because his computer kept beeping that he had mail. I told her that I don't read them, so she "selectively" sends me only 2-3 a night (which I don't still don't read

).
She also likes to forward me "warning e-mails" she gets from others. Most are hoaxes or exaggerations. After months of me telling her so, she exclaimed "I don't know why all my friends keep sending me these things if they aren't true!". To which I responded "Hmm...probably for the same reason you keep sending them to me"
