AT&T Yahoo! SSL Service Announcement

For the past week, I have been receiving ad nauseam patronizing and condescending notices from AT&T Yahoo!. I, a customer, am being admonished for using an email client that has not properly configured its ports and SSL properties. Though I have failed to adhere to the security protocols, these reminders go on to say, I am in good hands. Because AT&T Yahoo! has painfully taken steps to ensure my out-going and in-coming messages are secured. Horsefeathers.

Since 2007, my MS Outlook email client, with the more recently added Thunderbird, are properly configured with the latest POP3, SMTP, and SSL properties.

These notices have also spawned confusions within AT&T Yahoo! Its 24/7 tech support staff has advised many irate customers, such as I, to ignore these letters. Accordingly, these automated warnings are still being sent.

Microsoft should do a hostile take-over of Yahoo! as far as I am concerned. And soon.

They say there's a tree in the forest
A tree that will give you a sign

Come and carve your name next to mine

The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white
will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore

They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white

And your love will be true evermore

More than you know
More than you know
Man of my heart, I love you so
Lately I've found, you're on my mind
More than you know

Whether I'm right
Whether I'm wrong
Man of my dreams, I'll string along
You need me so
More than you'll ever know

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all I can give
And honey, I can't bare without it

Oh, how I'd cry
Oh, how I'd cry
If you grew tired and said goodbye
More than I show
More than you'll ever know

(Interlude)

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all I can give
And honey, I can't bare without it

And, oh, how I'd cry
Oh, how I'd cry
If you grew tired and said goodbye
You're on my mind
More than I show

Man of my heart
I love you so
More than you'll ever know

A western ranch is just a branch of Nowhere Junction to me
Give me the city where living's pretty and gals wear finery

East is east and West is west
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where you'll keep on wearing
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows

Don't bury me in this prairie.
Take me where the cement grows.
Let's move down to some big town.
Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes
And you'll stand out in buttons and bows

I'll love you in buckskin
Or skirts that you' ve homespun
But I'll love you longer, stronger where
Your friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep using
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And you're all mine in buttons and bows

Don't bury me in this here prairie.
Take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to that big town
Where they love a girl by the cut of her clothes
And you'll stand out in buttons and bow

Those wide open spaces
Don't suite me like a roof
I'll love you longer, stronger
Where the sticking on the hoof

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep using
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And you're all mine in buttons and bows

And another thing

Give me eastern trimming where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French parfume that rocks the room
And buttons and bows

Buttons and bows
Buttons and bows
Buttons and bows
