										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite my isolation from friends and family, I am inundated with requests and queries and messages. My inbox, answering machine and mailbox never stay empty. If anything, I have developed a very clear stance on spam:<strong> I hate it.</strong> </p>
<p>I have resorted to letting the machine pick up every call and I&#8217;m sure Ryan doesn&#8217;t appreciate it but I am sick of taking calls that want something (I tell you, you donate once and they won&#8217;t leave you alone. They&#8217;re like stray cats!) or for people who don&#8217;t live here, never have and no, I don&#8217;t know them, thank you very much. I am not Nadia, Melissa or Erica and the Ryan you want is not my husband so <strong>stop calling</strong>! These people must be going through the phone book and calling everyone with the same last name as we have which is ridiculous. I mean, our last name is in the top 20 in the entire country so that tactic is absurd to begin with. For reference, there are <em>over 10 pages</em> of Martinezes in the phone book.</p>
<p>Car insurance companies down here are also <em>really </em>good at making their ads seem like real mail. They&#8217;re vague enough that you have to open them, just in case it&#8217;s something you&#8217;ll regret tossing. I get those kind of letters at least once a week. Think of the trees, people!</p>
<p>In fact the calls and mail make me happy Thunderbird does so well with fielding spam and that my computer doesn&#8217;t &#8220;ring&#8221; every time I get a knew message. I&#8217;d have to kill myself then. I already hate the sound of our phone which also has an insanely loud ringer even on low. I&#8217;d hate to hate my computer.</p>
<p>In summary: gtfo spammers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fact that having no winter means I don&#8217;t get to break out into a crisp spring day. There is no freedom or release from the frozen atmosphere. No green shoots popping up from beneath the snow. There is no first day without a coat. There is nothing to break up the monotony of this weather. It&#8217;s pretty much the same 50 &#8211; 75% of the year. It&#8217;s not just a lack of snow. It&#8217;s a lack of life as I know it and it&#8217;s disheartening.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry Texas, I could never love you.</p>
