This is what jumped out at me. Medication problems can really change a person’s mood, ability to interact with others, and their basic personality. My mom and I have become fascist dictators about my dad taking his blood pressure meds on time. If he doesn’t, his mood becomes unstable, he stops processing, his personality takes a turn south into Asshole Land, and we usually end up in the ER with him hooked up to IV clonopine to get his bp under control.
It’s amazing what 30-40 points systolic will do to the man.
Can you schedule a doctor’s appointment for her and bring up the concerns with him?
Send her some mayonnaise and saltines, and tell her that you’re too busy to come by because you’re busy banging the brothers at the Mexican fiesta they’re having in the Lowe’s parking lot in observance of Ramadan.
I feel for ya. My sister used to forward stuff to me until I responded and warned them against bearing false witness by forwarding faslehoods. I stopped getting it.
It sounds like you’ve tried real hard to no avail. Just a thought. Maybe she actually doesn’t know how to remove your name from the lsit. Next time you see her ask her directly if she’d like your help in taking your name off the list. If it doesn’t help I guess I’d suggest just glancing at her Emails and then deleteing them, or continue to compopse responses since the email list gives you a forum.
However you think your time is best invested. Considering her age and health and the lack of progress so far , you may just have to delete them and try not to let it come between you.
Maybe IO can set up his email to automatically forward her emails back to herself, using some key word associated with her stuff but leaving alone emails he/she wants to keep.
Funny while I was reading this thread Paul Simon’s love me like a rock came on. I had this problem with a cop mailing list. When I sent a snopes link on that pledge crap they removed me.
Poor mom. Everyone knows it was the Gays who designed such terrible Detroit cars, and the Jews who pulled the financial plug on the while house of cards. The Mexicans are destroying California, and the Muslims are destroying every other country on earth.
You know, I was thinking, doesn’t all this make you pine for the days when e-mail forwards consisted mainly of corny jokes, pictures of kittens and videos of guys getting hit in the groin with a football.
