When even your email seems scary

It's been a while since I watched the evening news. I gave it up because it made it hard to sleep. It's always bad news and that's the last thing I wanted to be thinking about before going to bed--all the ills of the world that I am unable to cure. Sure I like my fiction scary, my movies gory, but I like my reality calm. So I pick and choose what I want to read online and in print. If I've had too much of the Iraq war, I stop reading. Tired of pedophiles, I close the browser. This way, I can monitor just how much evil I want to take in. I choose what and how much of it I want to see. But what am I supposed to do when even my email seems bad? Here are a few of the subject lines in my recent emails:
Weird Day
Strange Phenomenon
This is scary
All pets at risk!!!
(my dog was sitting next to me when I read that one)
And worst of all? The one that made me want to log off?
How not to look fat in a swimsuit
Ack! I need a drink.
