My downstairs neighbor a cheery well meaning busybody of a woman stops me in the elevator one day and asks me what is my email address? I ask her why do you want to know? You can talk to me the old fashioned way face to face but she says she has something very special to send me via email so against my better judgment I give her my email address and the next day when I wake up I turn on my computer and what do I see? in my email box something called Chicken Soup For The Soul my downstairs cheery well meaning busybody of a neighbor signed me up for a free lifetime subscription to Chicken Soup For The Soul Every day you get to read a new heartwarming story true stories written by real people from all walks of life some stories have a O. Henry type of ending where a special lesson is learned or a long-standing hurt is mended or a particular obstacle is overcome Chicken Soup For The Soul's motto is 'changing the world one story at a time' I read them every day sitting at my computer drinking my coffee listening to the birds chirping in the trees outside my window these sweet sweet stories make me smile sometimes they choke me up they make me think my life isn't so bad compared to the troubles others have to endure Then my work takes me travelling for a month and when I come back what do I see? an entire email box clogged to the rafters with many many heartwarming stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul I don't have time to read them but I want to read them so I click on 'save' but then have no time and eventually I end up deleting them, unread. I feel guilty. Pretty soon, the guilt mixed with the no time thing makes me realize these chicken soup stories have become a cyberspace nuisance. I once appreciated this little bit of sunshine in my email box every day but now I get a bit riled up when they greet me every time I turn my computer on. I run into my downstairs cheery well-meaning busybody of a neighbor and she asks me if I love reading the chicken soup stories as much as she does and I lie and say oh my yes because I don't want her to think I am a cold-hearted uncaring selfish bitch so now I feel guilty for not reading them and for lying about it Next day I scroll down to the bottom of that day's particularly heartwarming story about a puppy and chipmunk who become best friends the moral being yes, world peace is possible Yes we can all get along and not eat each other but enough's enough, so I follow the directions to 'unsubscribe to Chicken Soup for the Soul,' I do everything as I am told, to the letter. But the next day when I wake up and turn on my computer what do I see? A brand new story from "Chicken Soup for the Soul" about a father of 8, in desperate need of a car who accidentally dials the phone number of a rich old geezer on his death bed from a weird blood disorder who has a Mercedes Benz and no known relatives to leave it to. So I 'unsubscribe' again, but then the next day there's fresh chicken soup for the soul in my email box. So I write a letter to the webmaster of "Chicken Soup For the Soul" asking that I be taken off the list. Not only do I get no response, I keep getting "Chicken Soup for the Soul" stories. More heartwarming stories. People tell me I should never have written that letter to the webmaster They love to get letters like that. It's proof that you are receiving their email, reading their advertising
