DATE: April 3, 2003 FROM: White Monkey TO: Karyn SUBJECT: War, etc. Hello, As an itinerant visitor to your web-site, I noticed that you seem to be deliberately excluding any opinions about the war (or did I miss it?). Not that I was looking for any lengthy and passionate discourse or anything, but you sound pretty liberal and I imagine that you're anti-war; in which case there could have been an entry like "Went to the protest today..." On the other hand, if you're not anti-war, there could be something like "the protesters are clogging traffic and are starting to get on my nerves..." Or if you're indifferent (like me)-- maybe "live war on TV was quite fascinating..." Etc. You get the point. I just find it a bit odd that such momentous affairs don't occupy your thoughts; or the pointed exclusion a bit unnatural. Peace, WM ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: White Monkey SUBJECT: Re: War, etc. Dear White Monkey, You are indeed correct that I have not mentioned the war. I also did not mention the one-year anniversary of September 11th either. It is not because I do not care or have an opinion on these subjects, but rather because my website is silly and fun and I like to leave all heavy worldly affairs out of it. BUT SINCE YOU ASKED, I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I definitely support our troops, and I definitely think Saddam is an ASSHOLE, but like many others I wish we didn't go to war. I'm not saying that I disagree with President Bush, I'm just saying that I wish there was another way to solve the problem. When I watch TV and listen to soldiers that are 20 years old talk about what they are doing, I get sad. THEY ARE SO YOUNG. When I was 20 I was going to school and partying, not fighting a war. I have such respect for these people who are risking their lives for... why are we there again? For President Bush's sake, I sure hope they find some weapons of mass destruction or some chemical or biological weapons, or everyone will hate us more than they already do. I feel safer living in Brooklyn right now than Manhattan, that's for sure. And being here I don't see many protests. I'm all for free speech, but when protesters lie down in the street and stuff, I think they do more harm than good. To the protesters... The police should be protecting things like the Brooklyn Bride and Statue of Liberty, not picking your sorry ass up off the street. Get a clue. I think that protests compromise the safetly of our city, so you won't find me partaking in one anytime soon. Before I go, can we please talk about the news? Seriously, how distasteful was it of MSNBC to put up a war countdown clock? They put it up when the Prez gave Saddam 48 hours to surrender. LIKE IT WAS FRICKEN NEW YEAR'S EVE. Horrible. And Geraldo Rivera? Dude, someone punched you in the nose for a reason. SHUT UP. Peace out, Karyn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: March 18, 2003 FROM: Sharon TO: Karyn SUBJECT: Inspiration I have so enjoyed your website this morning. I got there from a link off AOL about Hooters airlines. Then on a list at that business site, is a link to your site. My husband and I are on the brink of filing bankruptcy because of credit card debt. I have bookmarked your site and will read it more in depth when I have more time. I just had to write and let you know how inspirational I find it. People are so good at heart to have helped you out of that debt. You go girl! ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Sharon SUBJECT: Re: Inspiration Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for the compliment! I hope you and your husband are able to figure out a solution to that debt of yours. On another note, I'm really excited that savekaryn.com was linked on the "Hooters" website, because it is the closest that I will ever come to being a Hooter's girl. My hooters aren't exactly Hooter's girl material, if you know what I mean. Anywho(ters)... I must run, so good luck getting out of debt. Karyn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: February 23, 2003 FROM: Dr. Paul TO: Karyn SUBJECT: Are You Insane? Karyn, I recently saw an article on 'cyberbegging' in my morning paper. Perplexed, I went ahead and wasted some time reading all of the garbage on your website. Needless to say, you are quite possibly the largest brat in the U.S., if not the world. I just had to write this. You claim that it is "your" (as in my) part to pay off the credit card debt you owe due to "too many morning cappacinnos and Prada pumps". This is hilarious. I have mailed this page to everyone I know as a joke. The sheer fact that you not only request, but present as my civil duty, that I (or whomever) pay for your bratty excesses boggles my mind. I am an educated man, who understands that one must pay for their mistakes. You, however, obviously believe that this does not apply to you. The world is plagued with war, famine and hunger. Why not give that proverbial fat cash to a charity, so that people with real problems could benefit? What you are doing is the exact cyber equivalent of pan handling. I pity someone who is so utterly selfish and self absorbed. If you can (doubtful) write me a response as to why you have such a warped perspective. That will provide several more hours of laughter, seeing as how you will probably just call me a loser and say that I need therapy. Guess what, I'm a clinical Psychologist! And you, miss, need intense cognitive therapy for narcissistic personality disorder with a superiority complex. Good Luck. Sincerely, Dr. Paul ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Dr. Paul SUBJECT: Re: Are You Insane? Dear Dr. Paul, I hope you are not still perplexed, and were able to let go of some of your hostility and anger since drafting up that lovely email and sending it to me. I have a question for you? Do you have a sense of humor? Even just a little bit? Or did you lose that while in medical school? Being a doctor you should know that laughter is one of the best medicines. And that, my dear doctor, is the goal of my website. To make people laugh. Yep, and to even laugh at myself. It was my goal to make it silly and campy, and I meant for it to sound absurd at times. But having no sense of humor, I guess that went right over your head. Goes to show that brains aren't everything. You seem a bit dense and are obviously lacking in other areas of personal development, such as gaining a sense of humor. I'd rather have that than the "Dr." in front of my name. I'm sorry that you choose to view my website as "garbage." I have received over two million hits and over 35,000 emails. Of those emails, about half are nasty such as yours. But the other half are from people saying "Thanks for making me laugh" or "I too have debt, thanks for making me not feel so alone." And for those emails alone, for those people who felt better after reading my "garbage" - just for that it was worth it. I think it served a purpose. Better than medicine, some might say. As for my "narcissistic personality disorder with a superiority complex" - once again, the website is meant to be a funny look at the life of me, Karyn, hence the name "Save Karyn." It is about how I, Karyn, am now living cheaply. To make it non-narcistsic would be like telling Bambi she can't be the star of her own movie. One a side note, you must be proud that you can diagnose people without meeting or even speaking to them. With talent like that, why even have an office? XOXO, Karyn PS - I know that the world is plagued with war, famine and hunger. So don't go there with me buddy. Money people gave me was similar to money they would spend buying a book for entertainment or going to a movie. You do read don't you? You've been to movies? The money you spent there could have also gone to a third world country. And, I am planning on donating the exact amount people gave to me ($13,000) to charity. Not because of you, but because I made that promise a long ago, and plan to keep my word. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: February 9, 2003 FROM: Nina TO: Karyn SUBJECT: Selling Your Body Dear Karyn, I will resent the way you are always bagging on women who make their living selling their bodies. After what you have been through you should be less judgemental. It's honest work for honest money. Sex workers sell a legitamite product. Do you really think begging is so much less demeaning? No offense meant because I don't think there is anything wrong with what you did... I'm just saying. Anyway a lot of sex workers work in well organised parlours, not on the street. The majority are working because some bastard ran off and left them with kids they have to support. They do it out of motherly love. Yours, Nina p.s. When I think of you I think Reese Weatherspoon in Legally Blond. Am I on the right track? ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Nina SUBJECT: Re: Selling Your Body Dear Nina, I actually agree with your email and am sorry for putting down women who sell their body. I am a big enough person to apologize when I feel I've done something wrong, and in this case, I think I am. I think this is what happened. Over and over I've had to answer questions like "Why don't you put up a webcam?" and "Why don't you pose nude?" and all sorts of stuff like that. So after a while I was just like, "Enough already. I would never do that." But not because I think it's wrong in general - I just think it's wrong for me. I mean, you are right - there are a lot of people out there who wouldn't set up a website to ask for money to pay off credit card debt either. So, please accept my apology. And to any strippers, dancers, and prostitutes out there that I offended - I apologize to you too. It is a free country, and you should be able to sell your body if you want to. So sell away! Be proud! Stand tall! Or lay short - or whatever it is you do! XOXO, Karyn PS - And yes, you are on the right track... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: January 13, 2003 FROM: Good Old Mom TO: Karyn SUBJECT: You should be ashamed of yourself When I read about this is a Chicago newspaper I almost fell of my chair. Let's see, you had the brass balls to go out and put yourself in hock to the tune of $20k but you are such a cretin, you decided that instead of pulling yourself up and getting your affairs in order and realize you are not a Rockefeller or a Kennedy, you'd weasle $20k outta good hearted people. You are a lazy leech who should be put in jail for fraud. Most DECENT people get 2 jobs, quit shopping, and pay their bills. You should have been made to file for bankruptcy and ruin your life to the point of getting a clue. I can't believe that you had the unmitigated gall to pull this con--only thing sadder is that over 13,000 people actually sent you any money. You want my money, you come to work for me you lazy sad excuse for a human being. If either of my kids ever did this, I'd wring their neck. You should go on reality Tv and try to snag a rich man who can afford your inability to get real about what life style your EARNED income can afford you. I'll bet your folks are just beaming with pride. I am glad you are not my daughter. You and Monica Lewinsky sure enjoyed your 15 minutes of fame now didn't you? Go away and take your website with you. ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Good Old Mom SUBJECT: Re: You should be ashamed of yourself Dear Good Old Mom, Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? I know that you want me to "go away" and all, and that what I did made you almost fall out of your chair, but baby, hang on to that Lay-Z-Boy rocker of yours 'cuz what I did ain't that bad! In the grand scheme of things today, with theft (even on a corporate level) running so rampant in our society, starting a website to ASK for help isn't really such a bad thing to do. I didn't rob a convenience store, or hold a gun to some little old lady's head while mugging her. Nope. I didn't prostitute myself, or better yet pimp my friends out to make some extra cash. All I did was put up a site on the big World Wide Web that said, "Hey I screwed up. If you want to help me - great! If not, then no big deal." And I hardly think that what I did is fraud since I told the TRUTH. I admitted my mistake and simply asked for help. I'm not a weasel; I'm an honest human being. People like you actually bug the crap out of ME. The fact that you are too proud to ask for help makes me ill. Since when did asking for help become so bad? And where do you get off riding such a high horse? Have you never made a mistake in your whole life? I doubt that's the case. And before you start spewing numbers out at me, please read the website in it's ENTIRETY so you get the facts correct: Just over 2,000 people gave me money TOTALLING $13,000. Not 13,000 people. And the money they gave me was sent to credit card companies IN ADDITION to monthly payments that I was making by myself. I did quit shopping, and was working about 60-70 hours a week at the time. I am not lazy, nor am I a sad excuse for a human being. The fact that you'd "wring your kids' necks" if they ever did something like this says a lot about the kind of person you are. You are a conservative, boring person, who refuses to think outside of the box to fix problems. And that is what's wrong society today. It's made up of too many people like you, who cling to old-fashioned values, and old-fashioned ways of thinking that prevents society from evolving and moving forward. People like you hold us back! And my parents are proud of me, as a matter of fact. I now have a book deal with one of the biggest publishers in the world - because I am a talented writer. And I also have a movie deal with one the biggest movie studios in the world, which is planning on making a movie about me because I'm so damn creative! Yes, me - the lazy leech. The cretin. Do your kids have those things going on? Glad you're not my "Good Old Mom", Karyn AND PS - Being a female and all, I don't have balls. But if I did, they'd be GOLD not BRONZE. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: January 6, 2003 FROM: Neil H. TO: Karyn SUBJECT: The word "Grody" I was wondering what it means? I've never heard it used before and it isn't in the dictionary. Please tell me so I can be all cool and use a new word. BTW, quidnunc means "busybody." It's a funny word. So now you can consider it a trade...a funny for a funny word. -neil P.S. I sent you $1 a while back. Glad you're debt free now. ::::: FROM: Neil H. TO: Karyn SUBJECT: Re: Re: The word "Grody" WAIT! I FOUND IT! YOU SPELLED IT WRONG...IT'S "GROTTY." Adj. Unpleasant, disgusting, shabby, of poor quality. From grotesque. [1960s] ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Neil H. SUBJECT: Re: Re: Re: The word "Grody" Dear Neil, First of all, thanks so much for the buck! Your dollar along with other people's dollars heped me to get out of credit card debt. Yay! Now on to "grody"... I found out that I was spelling the word "grody" wrong sometime last year. I was truly devastated because it changed the way I will forever think of the word. It is my favorite word after all. So I contemplated using the new correct spelling for sometime. I even tried it out in a few e-mails to friends. But it was something that I was very uncomfortable doing. So I decided to go back to spelling with a "d", the way that I had been spelling it for years. My reason is this: When you say "grody" all Valley Girl like, you say it "grody" with a "d" sound, not "grotty" with a "tt" sound. If the Queen of England were to say the word, she would say it with the "tt" sound. But let's face it - I'm not the Queen of England, or British for that matter. It sounds too proper when you say it with the "tt" sound. For example, the OLD Madonna would say "grody", but the NEW Madonna would say "grotty." And I always liked the OLD Madonna better. So I'm going to do a search to see how they spell it in the movie "Valley Girl." I'm guessing that they spell it with a "d" and not with a "tt". And since that's where I picked it up from when I was in GRADE SCHOOL, then I'm gonna stick with whichever way they spell it. I'm going to do a search right now, hold on. Okay I'm back... I was right. They spell it "grody" with a "d". In case you haven't seen the movie, here's a synopsis I found: VALLEY GIRL (1983) CAST & CREW Nicolas Cage, Deborah Foreman, Frederic Forrest - Directed by Martha Coolidge SYNOPSIS It's a "totally tubular" scene as a "grody-to-the-max" punk from the wrong side of the Hollywood Hills, Randy (Nicolas Cage), falls for Julie (Deborah Foreman), a mall dwelling Valley Girl, in this time capsule of 1980s teen vernacular. MPAA RATING: R RUNTIME: 1 hour, 35 minutes Thanks again for the buck and for the new word! Karyn PS - Because I'm such a "quidnunc", I decided to look up the lyrics to Frank Zappa's song "Valley Girl" for you as well. Enjoy! Frank Zappa - Valley Girl Valley Girl She's a valley Girl- Valley Girl She's a valley Girl Okay, fine - Fer sure, fer sure She's a Valley Girl In a clothing store Okay, fine - Fer sure, fer sure She's a Valley Girl In a clothing store Like, OH MY GOD!

TO: Karyn SUBJECT: Kate Spade purse Dear Karyn, Today I was shopping with my mom in Von Maur, a department store, (here in the midwest we don't have Macy's or Bloomies). So I was just brousing around when I found the purses. Like you, I am obsessed with purses, shoes, and pretty much everything else and Cosmo girl would love. Anyway, there it was, the most beautiful Kate Spade leather purse in this awesome turquoise blue color with little flowers. I fell in love, right there in Von Maur. BUT, I have been a pretty faithful reader of your site and the first thing I thought of was you. I was once in your situation, a fan of the plastic, until I got them all paid off. And here I was, staring at a $385 Kate Spade purse, and I couldn't buy it, because of you. I told my mom, "Karyn would probably be able to say no and walk away, so I will too." So I did, and although I would LOVE to own the purse, I feel good knowing that I was able to pass it up. Damn you! Just kidding! Anyway, best of luck in the future and if you ever see a beautiful turquoise leather Kate Spade, you can think of me and all the other women you have helped! Ok, corny, sorry! Have a Happy New Year! Rebekah B. ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Rebekah B. SUBJECT: Re: Kate Spade purse Dear Rebekah, First of all, kudos to your mom for spelling your name the way she did! Now onto the purse... I know how you feel. You feel proud of yourself, yet sad and angry that you didn't buy that purse. I've been there. The most awful part of all of this is that thoughts of the purse will consume your every thought for weeks. You'll be running errands and catch a glimpse of yourself in some random mirror with the purse you have now and think, "Gosh, imagine what I'd look like with that Kate Spade." People may think I am kidding, trying to "be funny", but you Rebekah know that I am dead serious and speaking the truth. Seeing a purse, opening it up, putting over your shoulder, seeing how great it is, and then NOT buying it is TORTURE! I recently saw a great Marc Jacobs purse for $900 that I wanted really, really badly. It's all I could think of for weeks. And I thought to myself, "I can buy this. I can charge this. I have one credit card left, and it's empty. I mean, I have book deal now, and I'm on my way back up. I can afford this purse." But let's be honest: $900 for a purse is ridiculous. And Rebekah, so is $385. So here is my suggestion... buy another cheaper purse. That's what I did. I bought this cute vintage Christian Dior bag for a little over $100. It'll satisfy your craving for a while. If that doesn't work and you find that you still really want that Kate Spade, then sell some stuff on eBay to make at least half of the price of the purse. I'm sure you have some extra stuff lying around that you don't want or wear anymore. Also, look around the internet for places like eBay, and see if you can find the purse for less. Do a Google search for "Kate Spade discount purses" and see what comes up. You can also make a "Kate Spade purse" bank and cut back on every day things to save money. For example, instead of buying lunch at work, you can bring your lunch and put the money that you would have spent going out into the bank. You can do this with all sorts of things. Just because you and I are on a budget doesn't mean we can't be frivilous every once in a while and buy a nice purse. We ARE women after all, and women like nice things. And we have to indulge ourselves every once in a while. Otherwise, being on a budget would be no fun. People always ask me if I am going to slip back into my old ways again, and I tell them this: I HAVE changed my ways, but I'm not saying that I'll never buy another designer purse again, never get another manicure again, or never get another $60 bikini wax again. I may still do all of these things. But the key is MODERATION. And the less frequently you do things and buy things, the more special they become when you do. Even a painful bikini wax can be a special treat when done every once in a while. Oh yeah - and I'll always pay cash of course. So good luck Rebekah. And happy new year! Karyn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: December 22, 2002 FROM: Jolene S. TO: Karyn SUBJECT: A DIFFERENT sorta help... Hi Karyn: So...I type "Save a Buck or Two" in the search toolbar, looking for Mike Piazza'a new commercial that my sister told me about. I guess he is w/o a mustache or goatee. (Not sure if you're even familiar with the 1-800- commercials I'm talkin' about, 'cause I don't know where you're from.) Anyhoo, your webpage pops up as an option, and out of curiosity I check it out. I don't have to tell you how ingenious it is! Wow, good for you. Hell, I need tons of money to straighten out my debt, but that's another story. (27, single mom of a 12-year-old, work full time, and just finished my Associate's Degree-nights!) I'm not buggin' you for money, but would GREATLY appreciate a different 'favor' (especially if you're gettin' 50,000 hits a week.) I truly wish I'd thought of it (your web page) - instead I had a different plea for help. I launched (love that. "I launched....") my "Help Me Meet Mike Piazza" page in April. I unfortunately haven't had the exposure that you have (just coming up on 3,000 hits I think, tee hee.) It's pretty self-explanatory: Help Me Meet Mike Piazza I've gotten a lot of feedback about how cuckoo I am. But damn, girl! If you can solicit (for lack of a better term) $20,000 AND attain your goal, I should be able to meet Mr. Piazza. I totally understand that there are probably many others that need your help. So I'm kinda doubtin' that you have "space" for me on your site. That's cool. But considering you have a kickass sense of humor and are obviously very creative, perhaps you have some ideas or suggestions you could shoot my way? I greatly appreciate your time, and really enjoyed your site. Congratulations. Have a great holiday and be safe! Warmest regards, Jolene ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Jolene S. SUBJECT: Re: A DIFFERENT sorta help... Dear Jolene, Thanks for writing! I am so happy that you stumbled upon my website. I live in New York and AM familar with the "Save a Buck or Two" commercials. They run every five minutes here, as I'm sure they do all over the country. The only thing that bugs me about them is Alf. Why would someone put something from a bad 80s sitcom in a commercial hawking a new low-budget calling plan? Where did that come from? I do agree that some things 80s can be cool again (like the Member's Only jackets, Izods, and Tony Danza) but not ALF. He is dated and old and will NEVER BE COOL. NEVER. Now that we got that cleared up, I visited your website and think it's a great idea! So if anyone out there happens to read my Weekly mE-Mail and knows Mr. Piazza personally, it sure would be great if they could pass along the message that you'd like to meet him. Heck, maybe Mike himself will read my website and show up on your doorstep. So good luck with your quest. Keep me posted as to whether or not your dream comes true! Happy Holidays! XOXO, Karyn
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: December 15, 2002 FROM: Steve B. TO: Karyn SUBJECT: please send photo OK, I gotta admit I am curious. You have shown us you butt end in the fridge and you wear bobies or whatever. This shows that you are creative [i addition to your fund raising success] you are bold to do what you want you are conservative in that you don't want to show th wworld what you look like on 3w You are a little cunning .......... like the girl who wore a bikini on a nude beach- all the guys wonderd what she was REALLY like underneath! I admit I am curous to know what you really look like, though from the fridge view you look pretty good! Surely I am not the only one who has asked you this! yes i am single, but I am from a ZW address - Zimbabwe- so I cannot pop around for a coke and a bun - [or a coke and a pretzel] I am a fan of yours, can I start a karyn fan club!? [joking] your fan [genuine] Steve! ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Steve B. SUBJECT: Re: please send photo Dear Steve, I am sad that you live in Zimbabwe and that we cannot pop around for a coke and a bun. Or a coke and a pretzel for that matter. You sound like a real genuine guy. However, I am sorry that I will not be able to send you a photo, so the one of me "butt end" in the fridge will just have to do. People always say, "Karyn, why don't you put a photo of yourself on the website now that your debt is paid off?" And I say, "I like to keep it the way it is. It's what brought be success, so why change it?" And you can do an internet search on me anyway and find some photos if you really wanted to. So that's it Brian. I am so happy that people in Zimbabwe like the website. Keep dreaming about my bobies... Forever yours, Karyn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: December 8, 2002 FROM: Bryan M. TO: Karyn SUBJECT: Here to help Karyn, As for the tragedy of your exploding... well their not implants are they? Outplants would be my description. Anyhoo, why not just use chicken breasts? What the hell? Stuff them in your nice little 34A pushup, strut around town impressing the fellas, then come home for a nice dinner of sauteed chicken breats in wine sauce and girlie sweat. Hey, just a guy tryin' to help the laaaadies out, yaknowhatimsayin? Your friend for all eternity (or at least until I have to go mow the grass), Skwerl X (Brian, but my friends call me Skwerl X. It's a horrid tale full of woe and mystery but you're not interersted because you have leaking outplants.) ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Brian M. SUBJECT: Re: Here to help Dear SkwerlX, Thanks for your suggestion. My "curves", or as you call them, my "outplants" did indeed burst. However, as sad as I am, I am gonna pass on your suggestion to use chicken breasts instead. I don't really think that going out and smelling "gamey" would be a smart move for me. It was bad enough trying to hide the curves when I got lucky. I can't imagine what hiding the chicken breasts would be like. "Excuse me sir, do you have some tin foil? I'd like to wrap these puppies up and refrigerate them before we get it on." Anywho, I'm going to pass. It's about time that men like me for ME, and not my curves. I'm a catch afterall... I'm broke, flat chested, and have a cat that barfs on my bed. What more can a guy want? Thanks again, Karyn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: December 1, 2002 FROM: Ryan C. TO: Karyn SUBJECT: stanky people In the 11 September 2002 reply to Erin and Mun, you said that being broke is no excuse to stink. I am broke, but more to the point, I can’t smell a blasted thing. I was born with no sense of smell whatsoever. This has been a blessing at times (I have no problem using the bathroom after all of my roommates have conducted foul business in there) but it also leads to awkward social situations. For instance, I may come in from running or something and be fragrant, but have no clue about it, and only realize that something is amiss when people start running for the doors. As a defense mechanism, I have surrounded myself with people who are not afraid to tell me that I stink (the codeword with my roommates is “Winnebago”). I guess the point is this question: do you consider a defunct olfactory a valid excuse to stink? Glad you hopped out of your debt hole. Keep the party rolling… Ryan ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Ryan C. SUBJECT: Re: stanky people Oh God Dear Boy No! Just cause your nose doesn't work doesn't mean the rest of us should have to suffer. Ryan, if you honor the regular cleaning ritual of taking a daily shower and using deoderant, none of this "winnebago" stink would occur. And you could have as many friends as you want, and not have to worry about always being nice to the ones who don't run for cover. Think of the possibilities Ryan. Tons of friends. And as far as going in the bathroom when it's all stinky... Ryan, smell in the air is usually just small particles floating around in the air of whatever is making the smell. And by walking in it, you are breathing it in. Now this is fine if it's your grandmother pie that you smell and inhale. But if it's a stanky bathroom... well, that's another story. I do want to take this time to send my condolences about the nose not working. I couldn't imagine if that were me. That would stink. No pun intended. But anywho, in answer to your question, there is no good excuse to stink. Because people who stink are usually all grubbed up somewhere and need to bathe. And frequent bathing will keep the grub away. And therefore the stink. So good luck to you & more luck to your roommates & more luck to their noses. And please shower once in a while. XOXO, Karyn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: November 24, 2002 FROM: Jared TO: Karyn SUBJECT: how Hi Karyn, I have a quesion regarding your site to raise money for your debt. How did you get it out to enough people that you actually got that many people to donate? I am amazed at the results. Please fill me in. Thanks, Jared ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Jared SUBJECT: Re: how Jared, Very good question. I get this one all the time. Since the website has gone up, I have received about 2 million hits. I never advertised it anywhere, or even picked up a phone and called the press. Basically, I put a posting up on a message board saying, "Please take a look at my low-budget website, tell all your friends and pass it around." The moderator of the board took it down after about 12 hours, but I think enough people saw it and just sent it to their friends. That's it. In the third week, It ended up as one of USA Today's "Hot Sites" and more press picked up on it, and so on, and so on. Just like the hair commercial. On a more personal note Jared, it's very nice to hear from you. I've been a huge fan since your first Subway commercial ever aired. I'm so happy that you lost the extra weight. You are an inspiration to all of us. And Subway rocks. Good luck on keeping it off, Karyn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE: November 6, 2002 FROM: Cloister TO: Karyn SUBJECT: Space Dear Karyn, My big dream in life is to someday visit space. I'm no astronaut, but I greatly look forward to the day when ordinary folk like us can vacation in space. How cool would that be? Imagine how the world consciousness would change if it were an ordinary thing for people to see the Earth as it really is, with no borders drawn on it. I'm no millionaire to send myself into space right now, and I'm no famous guy like Lance Bass who had people offering to pay his way. But - much like yourself - that isn't about to stop me from trying to do something to help my cause. I figure that one of the reasons there are no routine tourist flights into space is that nobody really knows how much the general population wants to go. Answering that question may spur the right people with the right resources to make it a reality. So like any good geek, I put up a survey website to collect real data from real people about their interests in space travel. Please visit my Space Tourism Survey. You can't go if nobody knows you want to. Thanks, and best wishes to you, www.loumalnatis.com |

DATE: October 2, 2002 FROM: Kellie in Boise TO: Karyn SUBJECT: ANYWAYS is not a word! First of all, I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE!!! It is NUMMY! I was wondering if you will help me while I help you? I am sending some $ and a package of night light bulbs (4) to your POB. I was going to help out anyway, but then wondered if you would give me a voice (so to speak) since you have such high traffic and are gathering quite a following, myself included. There are a number of E-Mails written to you where folks are writing, therefore, misprouncing a particular word that gives them an air of illiteracy. Although, you have always used it correctly. The word is ANYWAY. Spelled A-N-Y-W-A-Y, there is no "S" and people sound foolish saying anyways. By the way, it is the same for "ALL"---it is not alls. Anyway, all you have to do, is post this with your mE-Mail to help set the record straight. Proper grammar is, truly, appreciated. Thanx! Admirably, Kellie in Boise ::::: FROM: Karyn TO: Kellie in Boise SUBJECT: Re: ANYWAYS is not a word! Dear Kellie, I will definitely post your email, as the word "anyways" is a pet peeve of mine. Now I admit that I have been know to make up words before, as well as make some grammatical errors, but I DO NOT LIKE THE WORD "ANYWAYS" either. So there you have it. Thanks for the nightlight bulbs, Karyn |
