Yeah but we secretly laugh at anyone with a yahoo email address, admit it

I always smile when I see Hotmail addresses come up ๐Ÿ˜„

I use mine for every online sign-up and purchase. That's what it's for!

Plus you're just jealous because those of us who got emails a quarter of a century ago got our own names instead of [email protected] ๐Ÿ˜‚

I used to have my first name (which is very common) at excite.com ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜‚ Good times!

I saw someone recently with a Prodigy email. That was my first ISP in like 1999.

Lol, my main email is still yahoo, but it's over 20 years old and I didn't know any better at the time. It's cool though, I know it's kinda lame.
