damn stupid yahoo mail...

I don't know if anyone else has been having this problem, but it is not helping my insecurities or my persecution fears.

In a normal situation, the mail a person has not read is all together at the top of the page because it is recent and new.

My Yahoo mail has a personality - I go to check it, it tells me I have mail. But recently, it has not been all together at the top of the page, and it is not all new. As in I just checked my yahoo account today, after a few days as is my normal habit, and it tells me I have 13 new mails. fine. I like mail.

However, the new mail is scattered through the old mail, and some of it was dated things like 6/13, 6/18,6/23.

Am I finding myself a victim of the privacy invasion act, also known as Patriot? Am I the victim of some truly bored hacker that is wasting his talent trying to look at the pseudo-porn that some forum keeps sending me because I am too lazy (or busy, depending on how you look at it) to unsubscribe from their list? Because these new mails aren't things that I had looked at and ignored for the time being. They are completely new to me, and I have checked my mail either on or in between the dates mentioned above. So what the hell is going on?
Maybe the forums have fucked up mail systems. But why would the mails be dated like that? Wouldn't they be dated as the day recieved? Isn't that supposed to be the miracle of e-mail, that shit gets sent and delivered on the same day? what the hell? When did the nice, dependable, solid world of electrons and pretty lights become as fucked up and unreliable as the world of physical reality?

I did have a different post all written out, but the computer decided that I didn't need that part, I guess. It was just suddenly gone. I was so pissed. I'm still kind of bent.

Uncle is in the hospital for a third time. He had been in the hospital from the second fall, and they recommended that he go into a nursing home. He agreed, but I can only imagine how much it hurt his pride. I can only imagine how he must have cursed his failing body and the system that won't help him die.
Why is it kindness to put down an old, beloved pet, and yet it is cruelty to help an ailing, aged, beloved relative die?
