I would just continue to ignore. And ignore. Repeatedly.

If it were me, I would continue to ignore the person. However, if the mutual friend is still a friend, I would tell him/her that I didn't want to hear any gossip and to please not give the other person any info about me (you).I guess I just want to know if telling someone to stop telling me XYZ because I don't give ais ok or not. Or if just not responding and dealing with inquiries from the mutual friend is a better option.
This way, you get to ghost the person and still keep your friend.
If you really don't want to ghost the person, then, yes, it is ok to tell the person. Maybe the person doesn't realize you don't want to know the gossip but doesn't know what else to say but wants to keep in contact with you.
I really like the mutual friend. The mutual friend had given me a lot of helpful advice and support when I was dealing with the at the last job and with finding a new job, something the other person never once did.
Part of me wants to respond to the email just to tell her the gossip she heard from an untrustworthy source (and she knows the source is untrustworthy. She told me so herself) is flat out wrong and to tell her the truth about M and why she left the company. But then I think about it some more and I really don't want to get sucked back into all that again.
I'm going to ignore her emails and texts. I'll block her if needed.

--I use Purina Cat Chow Complete, but that one has food coloring unfortunately. Hey, I just saw that you live in Syracuse. The NY Statefair is going on this week, right? I used to go every summer. 
Yes, it is! Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to go this year, but next year for sure. I love the smells (sausage/hamburgers, etc) there!!
First you say it nicely. If that doesn't work you get more, um, forceful about it. Since you'd like to retain her friendship you only ghost her if that doesn't work.Can I just straight out tell her to stop telling me everything that is happening at my previous job because I don't give a
Your best bet is something that's grain-free as well. I'm pretty sure Purina One has varieties that meet your standards. I doubt that Friskies does.

I feed Purina One True Instinct. It is grain free, filler free and the first three ingredients are chicken, chicken by-products and chicken meal.
Unfortunately the store up here (small town) has quit carrying the chicken in favor of fish. So I may switch to Purina Basics, which is also grain free, filler free and first few ingredients are chicken.
There used to be some sort of cherry dessert for infants that was to die for. LOL, I'd buy a jar for Drew and a jar for me.Yeah, I remember when I used to babysit. I took a taste of the baby food to see if it was too hot, and Yuck! The fruit is pretty good though.
I'd try the second, but only from the "I'd appreciate if you" part.Can I just straight out tell her to stop telling me everything that is happening at my previous job because I don't give a
That works, too.
I just don't have the energy to deal with this person anymore 
It's one thing if she just emails to say "hi how are you". It's another thing to tell me every little thing that has happened since I left the company and what she tells me is third-hand information obtained from a highly untrustworthy source since she has no involvement with the team or department I was previously in.
I have not responded to her email and don't plan to. In fact, I deleted it. I don't need constant reminders of that toxic work environment

But if you truly don't want to know and don't care, then why are you even reading the emails? Just note this persons email address as spam and delete.
I have developed an addiction to Domino's Bacon Chicken Ranch oven baked sandwiches. Sadly, there is no DA - Domino's Anonymous.
I have this stupid weather app on my phone. I have it so when a severe storm warning happens, then I know about it. Two days ago I got a tornado warning... that was important. But for 3 mornings in a row it started beeping and flashing red. I look at it. The alert was to inform me that it was 65 and sunny. Really? This is Arizona, of course it's sunny. I don't need these alerts at 5:30 am.
But I'll probably keep the stupid thing since winter is coming and I'll need the winter weather advisory.
Anyone else have a stupid app like this?

Check the settings in your app. I had an issue with an app giving me weather warnings for the entire state. I was able to go in and restrict it to certain counties. I am in the suburbs of Chicago and was getting weather warnings for area’s that were hours away. Once I changed the settings the issue stopped. There may be away in your app to set what type of warnings you get.
Sounds like a plan. You don't owe her listening/reading time. Not for nonsense.I have not responded to her email and don't plan to. In fact, I deleted it. I don't need constant reminders of that toxic work environment
I kinda wish. I have a cheap government phone, and while I am thankful to have any phone at all, it is NOT a "smart" phone. It is a "dumb as a brick" phone that I have to reboot every 3 times I do anything on it, and that NEVER has any memory at all. I can take TWO pictures. Two. Never mind an app or ringtones or anything fun! Someday, though, someday!
I only get alerts for 2 counties. One I live in (by 7/10ths of a mile) and the other is the closest town. Like I said, I do need it for severe thunderstorm warnings, flash flood warnings, winter weather and even tornado warning/watch. But sunny weather? This isn't Seattle, I know it's going to be sunny.
But I appreciate the suggestion. I have to take the bad with the good. I just wish the NWS didn't need to send early morning advisories to tell me it's sunny.

My son was going to get me a refurbished smartphone for about $150.00 but his sister beat him to the punch and got me a refurbished iPhone 4. It had weather from Cupertino on it (that's just south of Santa Barbara) and New York City, but I now have added Reno where my son lives and Laguna Woods where I live, haven't figured out yet how to get rid of Cupertino and New York. I just had to put in my area code which I expected to give me the little city next door but actually gave me Laguna Woods. Don't know yet if it will give me warnings but it does give temps and cloud cover for a week ahead, still learning how this phone works. I activated it with Consumer Cellular which gave me unlimited voice and text plus 1 gigabite of data for sending pics etc for only $28.00 a month. I already have my computer for $22.00 which I usually use.Together that is $2.00 more expensive than what I had before with just one dumb phone. Bye bye AT&T!
We had a big storm tonight. Aedan was napping in his swing and a huge thunder blast woke him up. He looked at me to see if he needed to be scared or not. I just smiled at him and he went right back to sleep. Adorable.
So sweet how he looked to you for information. Your reaction just goes to show being calm and having a positive expression can help.
That little sleeping face is adorable!

My kitten is currently having surgery to remove a mass in his mouth. I'm really anxious about it because any type of surgery is very high risk for him, but I trust his vet and am hoping for the best.
