Nope, not me... not even sure what this is!

I thought at first this was spam, but it's sent to the usual "no dot" version of my email address that so often gets confused with someone else's email.


Nope, not me shopping for sporting goods in California

I didn't recognize the name of the store, so I was already pretty sure I didn't sign up for this.  Then down at the bottom, I saw it's in California.  Nope, not me!

Nope, that was REALLY not me!

This time I'm speechless.

Nope, not me joining a gym on Jan 2


I guess the friend of one of my alter egos put down her (supposed) email address, probably to get a discount.  I am getting a little tired of responding to these, but I did put on my polite fingers and say that I think they had the email address wrong, since I'm not in Milwaukee.  I watched "Up in the Air" yesterday, though - does that count?
