I paid up to send an email back to someone who said she was &#8220;interested&#8221; but who then quit emailing me. Probably for the better, since I&#8217;m not a dog person and she had two very large and mean looking dogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I used to get really mad when people sent me chain mail.
