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.

They're fascinating. They're pure white and fairly large -
quite beautiful and graceful standing in the water or walking
along the bank. But, when those suckers fly, you think you're
looking at a prehistoric bird!
More like a small flying dinosaur! The wings appear to be bent;
they seem to be able to only barely get off the ground. And,
when they land, they shoot those long legs out in front of them
and come in like they're sliding into third base.
Awesome.
Last week, I got several emails regarding my article on security
and protecting your money accounts. In a couple of weeks, I'll
share them along with some links to good security sites. Stay
tuned ...
Looks like I may have set up a yearly tradition last year. I'm
already being asked if I will put The MASTER COURSE™ on sale
again at the New Year.
Since it's the perfect time for folks to take steps to make
their lives better, I believe I will!
Check it out at the URL below. The sale will be over the New
Year week-end. I'll send out an email to let you know the
dates.
Wanna see what happens to internet marketers? Go to the URL below and click on the skeleton! Oh yeah, and while you're there, please VOTE by clicking the "digg it" button. Jay Douglas, maker of the video, is an old friend of mine. Jay did iCop's home page video. I'd like to see him win!
Thanks!

I really don’t want that $500 gift certificate from Walmart,
Sears, or K-Mart, because I know that no matter how many
“hoops” I’m made to jump through, I’m not going to get it
anyway. However, I have just confirmed that I am a real person,
and now my email address is for sale, as well as my phone
number and the address where I live. Read the fine print. By
filling out the form, you have given them permission to spam
you. The same holds true for those free laptops, free plane
tickets or hotel reservations.
I don’t have an Ebay account so how can they close down my
account because of suspected fraudulent activity? And if I did,
why should I sign on and give them my personal information,
including my credit card information to verify my account. Most
of us know that this junk comes from scamsters trying to find
someone stupid enough to go to their “look alike” site and give
them this information.
How many people deal with a Bank in Downtown Winnett, Montana,
population 160? Not many I’m sure. But a lot of people do deal
with the Bank of America and PNC Bank. Do people really believe
that the Bank will email them threatening to close down their
account if they don’t supply the information they are
requesting?
And how about the IRS (Internal Revenue Service)? Do you
honestly believe they have unclaimed refunds in your third
cousins brother’s mother’s great-grandmothers name? Are you
dumb enough to give them all the information they request so you
can get it? Are you dumb enough to think the IRS would email you?
Most types of offers fall into one of two categories. The first
consists people who send out “offers that seem to be too good to
be true.” This category is made up of simply uniformed folks who
are sold on the idea that if they send out their ad to 50 million
people or so, some will buy into their offer. Those who send out
the emails for them, say that if they get just one half of one
percent of the people to buy their product, they will be a
millionaire. These people are simply stupid, and the only ones
making money here are the ones sending out the emails.
The second category consists of out and out thieves. These
people are trying to get your personal information so as to
steal your identity. These guys are sophisticated con artists
and are good at what they do. Do they prey on the informed? Of
course not, and they don’t expect them to bite. Who are they
after? People new to the Internet, who are inexperienced with
financial matters. But should we feel sorry for those that buy
into the Wospilyland in Nigeria or the IRS scam? You figure it
out.
Three things normally drive people to these types of deals. True
financial need coupled with inexperience is probably at the very
bottom of the list. Next up on this list would be stupidity, and
at the top would be out and out greed. Many of the people who
fall for these scams are simply greedy and want to make “Big
Bucks,” without having to work for it.
Others are simply too dumb to know the difference and shouldn’t
be allowed to own a computer. The majority of people scammed
however possess the first two traits in differing combinations –
greed and stupidity. These people can’t be helped and will be
scammed.
If you are inexperienced with the workings of the web, or had a
recent financial reversal, before jumping into an offer that
really looks good, talk it over with others first. The money you
save will be your own.

2. Turn your cap right; your head isn't crooked. 3. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way. 4 They are cattle. That's why they smell to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-40 goes east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one. 5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year. 6. So every person in the south waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept. 7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time. 8 Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop. 9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November. 10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age. 11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey. 12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat ... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI! 13. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck and have long hair. 14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks and a dang site more fun to watch. 15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish. 16. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Colleges, Universities, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come home for the holidays.
17. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump
stuff ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore
