QotD: My Email Address(es)

How many email addresses do you have?  What are they for? 
Submitted by clippedwings.

Available? Infinite.  I have my own domain and it is set up to use wildcards for several addresses meaning I can use unlimited variations of a few email addresses.  I use it as a way to control spam.  I can give unique addresses at each website I sign up for.  If I start to get spam from one of the addresses, I know where it came from and I can stop it by blocking that address.

Beyond the addresses at my domain I also have three email accounts via the ISP I work for (not including my corporate account), as well as a yahoo and gmail account. 

The only accounts I really use at this point are those at my own domain.  I guess I just hold onto the others for nostalgia.

QotD: How I Ended Up Here

Why do you live where you live?
Submitted by memtony.

I like comfort, shun change.  Yeah, I know.  Boring.  Eat me.  I live less than 10 miles from where I was born.  The only time I lived farther from home than that was during college and that was all of 45 miles or so away.  Yeah, I've got wanderlust deep in my bones.

So why am I where I am?  I love the area.  Mountains (albeit small ones), forests, streams, a reservoir.... this is what I love.  I live in the Pocono Mountain region of Pennsylvania and have never wanted to leave.  Life is a bit slow paced, but I can visit NYC or Philadelphia (each about a two hour drive) any time I want something different.  Maybe someday I'll leave and set down some roots somewhere else, but I doubt it, at least until after retirement.  For now, my exposure to the world will be limited to vacations.  I'm fine with that!
