My apologies to everyone that clicked on the "Squoosh a Terrorist" game and came up with a porn site. The address was correct but someone turned it into a porn site after I played the game. Thanks for pointing this out to me Lynn ~ it explains why I got so darn many unsubscribes.
I got this little tidbit out of Glen Palo's "Network Marketer" newsletter ~ Enter your telephone number including area code, separated by hyphens, in the search box on Google (http://www.google.com). Click search and more than likely your telephone will be listed, especially if you've been around the internet awhile. Then click on either of the two map options and a map to your house will pop up. Kinda scary, especially if you've got children! Google will allow you to delete this entry if you desire. Glen's newsletter always has a lot of good info such as this. To subscribe: Send an e-mail to

**************************
Personal Security Information.
When (not if!), you lose or have stolen your billfold,
purse, and/or your checkbook, here's some critical information to limit the damage.
Some tips to limit the damage before it occurs:
The next time you order checks have only your
initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them,
if someone takes your check book they will
not know if you sign your checks with just your
initials or your first name but your bank will
know how you sign your checks.
Put your work phone # on your checks instead of
your home phone. If you have a PO Box
use that instead of your home address,
if you do not have a PO Box use your work address.
Never have your SS # printed on your checks, you
can add it if it is necessary but have it printed
and anyone can get it.
Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy
machine, do both sides of each license, credit
card, etc. You will know what you had in your
wallet and all of the account numbers and phone
numbers to call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in
a safe place. (I just did this today)
Some tips to limit the damage after it occurs:
We have been told we should cancel our credit
cards immediately. Here, the key is having
the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy
so you know whom to call.
File a police report immediately in the
jurisdiction where it was stolen,
this proves to credit providers you were
diligent, and is a first step
toward an investigation (if there ever is one).
But here's what is perhaps most important: (I
never ever thought to do this.)
Call the three national credit reporting organizations
immediately to place a fraud alert on your
name and Social Security number. I had never
heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called
to tell me an application for credit was made over the
Internet in my name.
The alert means any company that checks your
credit knows your information was stolen and they
have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.
By the time I was advised to do this, almost two
weeks after the theft, all the damage had been done.
There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the
thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before
placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has
been done, and the thieves threw my wallet away this
weekend (someone turned it in). It seems to have
stopped them in their tracks.
The numbers are:
Equifax: 1-800-525-6285
Experian: 1-888-397-3742
Trans Union: 1-800-680-7289
**************************
I can't vouch for the ads that are published in Solutions Ezine or the solo ads that I send out. If the ad doesn't make sense to you...you're probably right in not buying into the program. If I make an endorsement to an ad, it doesn't mean that the program or tool is suitable for you. It simply means that the program or tool works for me and that I think it's ok for others!
**************************
Please don't hesitate to forward a copy of this newsletter to friends and associates. If, then, they should want to subscribe, they can do so by emailing this address: subscribe@yours4profit.com?subject=subscribe

Until next time...
Happiness and success to all and my very prosperous regards.

The Truth Is Finally Known.
Here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know thetruth after all those conflicting medical studies.
Diets & Dying
The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

What Is the Real Future of Email?
Copyright © 2003, Bill Platt
Bill Platt's Power Marketing Ezine
http://www.topica.com/lists/PowerMarketing
Weekly, I keep an eye to the horizon to assess new developments
in the Internet environment. In noting the changes, I sometimes
begin to feel overwhelmed by feelings of doom.
The S~P~A~M problem is one such item that leaves me at times
in much distress. I fear the trends of the ISP's in their
efforts to get control of the S~P~A~M situation.
The ISP's are pushed and prodded by the ISP's customers as they
begin to feel overwhelmed by the volume of unappreciated UCE
email.
Now and again, companies spring up to promise a new technology
to combat the growing problems faced by the ISP's and their
customers.
Early on, the promising technologies included blacklists and
email filters. I say "early on" because I have been fighting
to overcome S~P~A~M filters for the last five years. The people
who receive mail from me in the form of ezines or newsletters
have ALL double-opted-in to receive my publications.
The sad thing is that as long as I have been publishing an
ezine, I have had subscribers who could not receive my
publications due to email filters.
Just a few months ago, I was feeling very depressed about the
future or lack of a future for email. It seems that the filters
are becoming so intrusive that very few emails will actually
reach their actual and intended recipients. And it seems the
problem will only get worse.
Now, we have a company offering a new solution that is almost
more Draconian than email filters. Habeas, Inc. has created
an email header and filters to assure that the people doing
the mailings are authorized to do so by the anti-S~P~A~M
zealots, a.k.a. the Habeas, Inc. accountant.
Habeas believes that online commercial enterprises should pay
them a fee to guarantee that their email will be delivered to
those who have asked to receive mail from them.
Personally, I am hoping someone will use the one keyword that
has most damaged the Internet to damage the future of the
Habeas concept. That one word is "free".
Think about this. If someone was to feel secure enough to
stand up to the Habeas saber rattling about Copyrights and
Patents, and to offer a very similar service for FREE, then
we can as a community destroy the pay-to-send-email concept
before it has a chance to build any real momentum.
Today I read a small story about a email hoax perpetuated by
a student at Yale University:
http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=22111
The interesting thing that came out of this story is that the
Yale Administration came up with a simple solution to this
problem. They have directed their IT department to add a link
to every email that shows the URL where the official copy of
the email being sent can be seen on the secured Yale website.
The solution is that if the link does not appear with the email
pointing to where the communication can be seen on the Yale
website, then the reader is to assume that the email is a hoax.
Interesting, eh?
Like I said, a few months ago, I felt very pessimistic about
the future of email. These days, my outlook is not nearly so
bad.
When I realized that I would change the format of my own
publication, I also realized that I would move the publication
to my own mail server and I would also send two copies of the
ezine. The first copy would be a full HTML copy of the ezine,
and the second copy will consist of only a link to the URL
where one can view the ezine online. The second mailing is
only for those whose ISP blocked the original mailing.
Imagine that. There are in fact ways out there to conquer the
email hoax perpetrators and there are ways out there to conquer
the email filtering software. And finally, there is in fact a
way to defeat the Habeas, Inc. pay-to-send-email program.
The future does not look so dim anymore.

Free Line Formatter
Many of the ads I receive are unformatted ~ i.e. (that's Latin "id est" for "that is" ~ ain't I smart?), the lines have no line breaks. Before you send me your ads, please run them through this free tool that will format the lines to any length (I prefer a line length of 60) you desire, adding line breaks.

Old Lady Jokes
Two elderly ladies are sitting on the front porch, doing nothing.
One lady turns and asks, "Do you still get horny?"
The other replies, "Oh sure I do."
The first old lady asks, "What do you do about it?"
The second old lady replies, "I suck a lifesaver."
After a few moments, the first old lady asks, "Who drives you to the beach?"
**************************
An old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat on tightly so that it would not blow off in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said: "Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be forward, but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?"
"Yes, I know," said the lady, "I need both hands to hold onto this hat."
"But, madam, you must know that your privates are exposed!" said the gentleman in earnest.
The woman looked down, then back up at the man and replied, "Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old. I just bought this hat yesterday!"
**************************
Ethel and Mabel, two elderly widows, were watching the folks go by from their park bench. Ethel said, "You know, Mabel, I've been reading this 'Sex and Marriage'book and all they talk about is 'mutual orgasm'.
'Mutual orgasm' here and mutual orgasm' there - that's all they talk about. Tell me, Mabel, when your husband was alive, did you two ever have mutual orgasm?".
Mabel thought for a long while. Finally, she shook her head and said, "No, I think we had State Farm."
**************************
Three old ladies were sitting side by side in their retirement home reminiscing.
The first lady recalled shopping at the green grocers and demonstrated with her hands, the length and thickness of a cucumber she could buy for a penny.
The second old lady nodded, adding that onions used to be much bigger and cheaper also, and demonstrated the size of two big onions she could buy for a penny a piece.
The third old lady remarked, "I can't hear a word you're saying, but I remember the guy you're talking about."

Your Editor's Class Reunions
Every ten years, as summertime nears,
An announcement arrives in the mail,
A reunion is planned; it'll be really grand;
Make plans to attend without fail.
I'll never forget the first time we met
We tried so hard to impress,
We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars,
And wore our most elegant dress.
It was quite an affair, the whole class was there,
It was held in a fancy hotel.
We wined, and we dined, and we acted refined,
And every one thought it was swell.
The men all conversed about who had been first
To achieve great fortune and fame.
Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses
And how beautiful their children became.
The homecoming queen, who once had been lean,
Now weighed in at one-ninety six.
The jocks who were there had lost all their hair,
And the cheerleaders could no longer do kicks.
No one had heard about the class nerd
Who'd guided a spacecraft to the moon,
Or poor little Jane, who'd always been plain,
She married a shipping tycoon.
The boy we'd decreed "most apt to succeed"
Was serving ten years in the pen.
While the one voted "least" now was a priest.
Just shows you can be wrong now and then.
They awarded a prize to one of the guys
Who seemed to have aged the least.
Another was given to the grad who had driven
The farthest to attend the feast.
They took a class picture, a curious mixture
Of beehives, crew cuts and wide ties.
Tall, short or skinny, the style was the mini.
You never saw so many thighs.
At our next get together, no one cared whether
They impressed their classmates or not.
The mood was informal, a whole lot more normal,
By this time we'd all gone to pot.
It was held out-of-doors, the lake shores,
We ate hamburgers, coleslaw and beans.
Then most of us lay around in the shade,
In our comfortable T-shirts and jeans.
By the fortieth year, it was abundantly clear,
We were definitely over the hill.
Those who weren't dead had to crawl out of bed,
And be home in time for their pill.
And now I can't wait, they've set the date.
Our fiftieth is coming, I'm told.
It should be a ball, they've rented a hall
At the Shady Rest Home for the old.
Repairs have been made on my hearing aid,
My pacemakers been turned up on high,
My wheelchair is oiled, and my teeth have been boiled,
And I've bought a new wig and glass eye.
I'm feeling quite hearty, and I'm ready to party;
I'm gonna dance until dawns early light.
It'll be lots of fun,
I just hope that there's one
Other person who can make it that night.
