EXCELLENCE can be attained if you - CARE more than others think
is wise - RISK more than others think is safe - DREAM more than
others think is practical - and EXPECT more than others think is
possible.

I don't have a single thing on my list of things to write about
each week. I guess that means I've been minding my own
business, eh?
Unfortunately, I'm also scattered, impatient and short-tempered.
So, if iCop members have been offended by my "tone" lately,
think about this ...
You want me to be a hard-ass with everyone who makes a misstep
online. Everyone except you, right? Well, sorry - if we're
going to make iCop an even more exclusive organization, I'm
going to have to deal with grown-ups.
I warned this would become a much more “hard-nosed” organization
with respect to our level of member professionalism. If you're
worried about that, you probably don't belong here.
Right now, I'm not interested in numbers. I'm interested in
exclusivity. So, if you have a beef with demonstrating higher
professionalism, by all means, feel free to leave.
Now, having said all that I would like to thank and let you know
how VERY much I appreciate those of you who have sent words of
encouragement and support.
Reorganizing an organization doesn't happen overnight - or, in a
few short weeks. This is taking time, and I also appreciate
your patience. The point is to have it as right as possible at
the date of transition.
Since the upcoming new iCop program will also be a HUGE benefit
to non-members, I also appreciate our subscribers' patience!
Google has changed their AdSense Terms & Conditions. To comply
with the new AdSense rules, you'll probably need to update your
site's Privacy Policy.
Apparently, there is some confusion between Google's Terms &
Conditions and their Program Policies. However, one woman has
put together a Privacy Policy that works for people to use. You
can find it - along with additional information - here:
I received the following great information from a reader after
writing about SpamGourmet. Article here:
i-cop.org/journal/03-10-08.htm:
------------
Just a few words about getting rid of spam.
I pay $20 a year for the premium svc at Yahoo. I originally did
this so I wouldn't have to look at their ads, but it's proven to
be a good idea for "spam" as well.
They have a feature called AddressGuard. Here's how it works.
1. You choose a base name. For this example I'll use
"NotToday." This is the phrase that will be attached to all the
emails you set up in AddressGuard.
2. When you go to a site that requires you to enter an email
address, you simply, open the options in Yahoo, ADD another
phrase to your base name and add @yahoo.com and use that
address.
Example: I go to JoeBlowsSite and it's a landing page and I
have to give them my email address to enter. So I create this
email address in AddressGuard: NotToday-JoeBlowsSite@yahoo.com
and enter it into their landing page form.
If I start receiving unwanted emails at this email address and
they don't have a way to UNsubscribe, I simply delete
NotToday-JoeBlowsSite@yahoo.com in AddressGuard. From that
point on, I don't get anymore mail to this address because it
bounces back to JoeBlowsSite.
You can create as many as you want, but you can only have one
base name.
You can also reply with the same address and attach a color to
it to spot them easier in your inbox.
I find this tremendously helpful, not only to identify and deal
with any spam, but I also use the color feature to identify new
orders that come in. It's well worth the $20 a year for me.
all good things...
Heather
Good for everyone to know! Thanks, Heather!
It's time to request Featured Site (Top Sponsor) positions for
the upcoming quarter in the iCop Business Directories.
The information is here:
i-cop.org/members/vital-info.htm
The deadline for requests is Saturday, March 29, 2008.
I'll be taking down the special “Subscribers Only” sales page
for The MASTER COURSE sometime next week. I put it up for an
indefinite time due to the tanking economy in the USA.
You have about 10 days left ...

You may have seen this before, but it's SO funny, I have to run it every once in a while ... jl
For my birthday this year, my daughter (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I'm still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My daughter seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.
________________________________ Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Belinda waiting for me. She is something of a Greek goddess - with blond hair, dancing eyes and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo! Belinda gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she conducted her aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring! Belinda was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time she was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!
________________________________ I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Belinda made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then she put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Belinda's rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT! It's a whole new life for me.
_______________________________ The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot. Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. Her voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when she scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying. My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Belinda put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Belinda told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. She said some other crap too.
_______________________________ Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late - it took me that long to tie my shoes. Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. She sent another skinny bitch to find me. Then, as punishment, she put me on the rowing machine -- which I sank.
_______________________________ I hate Belinda more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic little cheerleader. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it. Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And, if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the damn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?
________________________________ Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner, however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel.

I' m having the church van pick me up for services today so I
can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray
that next year my daughter (the little snot) will choose a gift
for me that is fun -- like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I
still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have
sprinkled the floor with diamonds! Click to Submit Your Joke to Us (Please leave off the graphics). Click to Send Comments, Questions & Suggestions
