Our neighbor is a lunch lady at a school so doesn’t work in an office or anything like that and she tells us she gets about 300 emails a day that she sorts through and gets rid of the junk.
we’ve asked her why she’s always on her phone when she’s with us and that’s what she told us that she gets at least 300 email a day

Yes, please change my username for me to GreeninNC. Did not think of the spam possibility.

Your username isn't an email address when it doesn't include the Doman i.e. GreeninNC @ domain-name . com

Edited to remove the last trace of prior username.

Premium hides the ads, there's a Premium section (private) however its largely unused so if that's what you're signing up for the section, you'll be largely disappointed. (Pretty sure the last post was at least 6 months ago in that section...) but I love advertising being omitted and for that reason it's worth the $20/yr.
