How is your day?  You doing okay?  I’ve been thinking about you ever since I saw you Sunday.  You look like you are very run down.  Please be careful.  (And it wasn’t mascara!)  It looks like you are low in iron…need some red meat!  (not hamburger).  I’m taking you out to eat when I get paid next week!!!!!!  How is Trey’s tooth doing?  I hope you are okay…..I love you!!!!!

Do you have any gas money?  I don’t know that I have enough to get you around.  I have enough to probably get home and that is about it.  Sorry  Let me know and I’ll try to figure something out.

As you all know, I get a lot of mistaken emails. I was planning on writing back to this mom at some point... but it has been busy, what with work, snow, skiing, and more work. But then this afternoon, I got worried that perhaps Casey Williams wasn't going to get picked up tonight!! So I responded.

Hi Mom/Elizabeth,

It sounds like I'm going through a stressful time!!! 

But... I think you mean to reach your daughter, not me. I'm betting we both share the same name - Casey Williams - since you're emailing me at casey williams at gmail dot com.

I had a few things to say ---

First, nice job naming your daughter. You have great taste. :-)

Secondly, you sound a lot like my mom --- worried, and trying to offer good advice! Instead of telling her what to do, you're offering suggestions about how she could take care of herself. Your comment about 'eat some red meat' made me laugh because my mom has definitely said that to me!! Now, however, she's less into meat. I think she would probably say 'eat some spinach!' Either way, Moms care. And that's what matters.

Thirdly, I do have gas money... but I don't think it will help you. Besides, I filled up the car Monday night. However, the right front tire is still wonky from the 4 potholes I've slammed with it. Fortunately I avoided a few today, though they weren't easy to spot under the 12+ inches of show we got!!!

I wish you all the best with your family. I already have a good Mom, but it seems like you're doing a great job!!!

Best,

Casey Anne Williams

Elizabeth Wagnon  to me

5:56 PM

Casey A Williams from Boston it is very nice to meet you.  You totally lifted my spirits today, so thank you.  Wish I could help you with the wonky tire (be careful!).  My daughter’s full name is Casey Ann Williams, she is 20 and we live in Idaho.   

I wish you and your family the very best as well, thank you again for the smile.  Make sure you tell your mom she did a fabulous job as well raising a daughter with such a wonderful spirit. 

Take care!

What a sweet woman. As much as I enjoy reading snarky, funny, cynical blogs, I just can't be mean when I write to these people. Each email is a glimpse into their lives - I get an idea of what's going on, and I can't be cruel, no matter how funny it might be.

Unless you're being mean, that is.

Anyway. Elizabeth Wagnon the mom from Idaho, keep being a good mom to Casey Ann Williams. At least I think you're good. Maybe you're not, but you seem pretty good. But you really, really need to learn your daughter's email address... because when you tried to email our email string to your daughter, you emailed me. Again. :-)

Water in Valdosta, GA

You have received this link of City of Valdosta, GA from:

showers okay, but boil the water to cook/drink

Hi Leslee,

Wow. This is really a REALLY weird coincidence, or you just didn't see my email earlier this week. I tend to think that you just didn't read my email, because really, how many leslee lamperts could there be out there?

That being said, your email last week was from a Gmail account, and this one is from an MSN email account... so could it really be true that there are two Leslee Lamperts who both know a Casey Williams, and who both type that Casey's email incorrectly when sending her useful or funny emails?

Either way, good luck with your water situation. Something similar happened up here in Boston a few months ago. Instead of our water coming from the Quabbin (a delicious reservoir in western ma), it came from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, a mushy man-made body of water near Boston College. I'm sure there are tires and beer cans and potato chip bags and whatever else college kids toss around in that water.. and while it was filtered, we were told not to drink it. You would not believe how often you drink or cook with water until you can't use it!! Well, I'm sure you have figured that out by now. 

Doesn't it make you so grateful that we have unlimited access to clean water? I mean, we have so much clean water we flush our toilets with it!! One day when I own a house, I want to put in a gray water system. Seems much more practical.

I hope your water is safe to drink soon! And good luck emailing Casey L Williams.

Best,
Casey A Williams

Dear Hellmans,

I am a HUGE fan of mayonnaise. I mean, it's basically butter plus eggs, right? How delicious! Ok, scratch that, it's actually oil plus eggs plus lemon. I bet you guys must have been psyched (in a professional way) when people first started getting scared of salmonella in eggs. Just one more reason (besides convenience) to purchase mayo instead of making it! I did see pasteurized eggs for sale in the supermarket the other day - I do wonder how they do it. Personally, I prefer eggs from my mom's chickens. While not pasteurized, they eat pretty much what we eat, so we're pretty sure they're healthy since we're healthy. More or less. 

I'm still on the fence about light mayo, though. My experiences with MiracleWhip (competing brand, I know) were not favorable - it was like sweet airy weird sweetness. (What's up with all of my parentheses?)  I do like the olive oil mayo, though. Heck it's still oil plus eggs plus lemon, just with a better base oil.

Anyway. Enough pontification on the subject of mayo. The reason I'm actually replying to your email is this: I didn't sign up. You might just tell me, "well un-subscribe", which I do, but you would not believe the number of times I'm signed up for emails that aren't supposed to go to me. Or just sent them randomly. The name "Casey Williams" is just uncommon enough that people assume it's their friend/son/daughter/relative's email and type away.

This case, however, is puzzling. Someone going by "Rita" signed me up for your email. I assume she meant to receive it. But why would someone with the email casey dot williams at gmail go by "Rita"? She did this more than once, too. In case you're interested, Rita the mayo lover also loves Chili's and SC Johnson products (like ziploc baggies). Send that along to your market researchers. 

Finally, I didn't know that you went by "Best Foods" west of the Rockies. Hellman's is so emblematic of mayonnaise to me I can't imagine saying "pass the Best Foods".

I'll be un-subscribing because I don't need any new ideas about how to use mayo. Good luck marketing your mayonnaise to the correct audience - apparently people like Rita!

Best,

Casey A Williams

Boston, MA

Computer Mistakes

Hi Leslee,

Thanks for the cartoon. I do like it, but let me tell you, the IT guys at my office would never believe it. 

Quite frankly, most computer errors are really user errors. We don't think like machines... and while the computer programmers try to think about human behavior when making their programs, based on my experience with most computer programs I can't say they succeed. Instead, humans have to learn how programmers think, and what machines are capable of, and then figure out how to use the software. My number 1 most successful tip for my mom when she has computer troubles: RESTART! It works 9 out of 10 times even when you do have a brand new unique error message.

Anyway. It turns out I don't actually know you, and that you're probably looking for a different Casey Williams. I do not know any of the Leslee Lamberts who I found online:

A. Leslee Lambert of Georgia, formerly of Mississippi, lover of Obama and the TV show "The Closer" (among others; I just chose to highlight the two things we had in common) (side note: do you find it difficult to be liberal in such a conservative state?)

B. Leslie Lambert, the founder of Ladle of Love, a famous NY soup shop, and a former Ladies Home Journal journalist who wore a fat suit for a day and ironically later gained/lost 60 lbs

C. A Leslee Lambert who is not active online

No matter which you are, good luck with your computer. Or maybe I should be saying that to the other Casey Williams. 

Take care,

Casey A. Williams

Yucutan vs. Snow Day

Your dad is giving us a first rate tour here in the yucatan. We did the cenotes and he told us about your flip off the platform!  Amazing.
Adios. Hope things are well

Hola Nancy,

Wow. I am SO JEALOUS of your Mexican vacation! It looks like you're jumping off of some vines into a cave! However, I'm not the Casey Williams you're looking for. 

At first I thought I was the right Casey Williams, and that you were my Aunt Nancy, who was in Peru with her family over Christmas, but then I realized that A. You have a different last name, B. My dad certainly wasn't giving his sister a tour of Peru from Massachusetts, and C. The Yucutan is not in Peru.

This Casey Williams (i.e. me) is currently working from home as there's a blizzard outside. It's pretty much the exact opposite of what you're doing right now. I have attached photos.

Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Besos,
Casey A Williams

Boston, MA

PS. Why wasn't my alter ego Casey Williams in the Yucutan with you guys? On her behalf, I am saddened.

Photos Attached to Email:

Looking out my storm door. It kept blowing in.

Winter wonderland! Only about 6 inches right now.

The closest I'm going to get to the beach - my shell mobile, made from Cape Cod shells, and hummingbird from Hawaii

UPDATE! Nancy responded! Apparently my doppleganger is male.

SSA Nancy Abraham  to me

7:33 PM

Dearest Casey,
I apologize for sending this to the incorrect Casey Williams (the one I meant to send it to is male, btw) but your email has generated more laughter today than you can possibly imagine. 

 I love your response and your sharing photos with us.  I am thinking that A) I am sorry we are not related, you sound like fun B) your dad should take YOU to the Yucatan and C) that you know your geography.

thank you for responding so I was able to send the cenote photo to the other Casey Williams in Washington state.  Stay warm!

Adios
Nancy

Hi Nancy

Glad to make you laugh. It was a nice excuse to take some iPhone photos of the close to 2 feet of snow!

You would be surprised by the number of Casey Williamses out there - male and female - who I've met/learned about from mistaken emails. Everything from moving quotes to yearbook ad sales and winning a free museum membership (in Texas). Your email, however, gave me pause to daydream about a tropical vacation, a welcome break from shoveling.

I think, however, my next trip will be to London/Paris to celebrate my 30th year. Enjoy Mexico for me, though! 

Casey

Patterns

Sure, it might be about to snow 1 to 2 feet.

But what I want to know is where did this chick get her plaid jumper?



I admire her pattern bravery, but I can't say I'm a fan of the technicolor.

Mixing patterns, good.
Adding technicolor to your mini plaid jumper, bad.

The New Casey Williams

My Yearbook friend is in North Carolina.

A super secret sleuth found this out via the teacher, Mrs. W.

Mrs. Karen Watford 
Thomasville NC 
Davidson High School


I am assured [the sleuth] only uses his powers for good, at least that's what he said in his comment.


I just realized that I was a bad blogger and never blogged about the FIRST yearbook email I received about sales.


Mrs. W's email:

Girls,

Thank you all for coming by and bringing in your ad sales!  I was impressed with your numbers.  Leah was the top salesperson as of that day with $1310.  I know this hard to do, but keep on plugging and get this task behind you.

I am looking forward to creating this new book with you!

I had some sort of snarky response written up that I never sent. And I'm glad, since she seems like a nice teacher.

Anyway. Casey Williams of Thomasville NC, please start doing a better job on the yearbook. Be a LEADER. Mrs. W needs you. And us other Casey Williamses want to preserve our reputation as hard workers and visionaries. (I'm currently working towards being a visionary, anyway.)
