Tip of the Day

Deleted Items Folder

It's best to keep your e-mail cleared out for better performance. If you're using Outlook or Outlook Express and want to empty your Deleted Items folder, it's pretty easy. Just right click the Deleted Items bin, click Empty Deleted Items Folder. That'll do it. Most e-mail clients (like Netscape Mail) work in a very similar fashion as well, if they use a Recycle Bin type folder like Outlook Express does.

However, if your e-mail program doesn't have that handy little right click and empty feature, there may still be hope. Go into the Deleted Items folder (or the equivalent for your software) and hit Ctrl + A. That should select everything in that folder. From there, just hit Delete.

What if you want to keep your deleted stuff that's less than, say, one week old? Well, you can do that too. Click the oldest message and scroll down to the last one you want to remove. Next, hold the Shift key on your keyboard and click the message. Everything between the first e-mail you clicked and the last should be highlighted. A quick little tap of the Delete button and they're all gone.
Outlook Express can be set to empty your Deleted Items whenever you exit (Netscape Mail automatically does this). Just go to Tools, Options and click the Maintenance tab. Check the box marked "Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit."

Whatever method you use, you shouldn't let those deleted items pile up since they take up space. Best to get them out of there as quick as you can!

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

Have you heard that physiology, body language, is 55% of the Communication?

That means you don't even have to say anything to come across angry, dejected, happy, successful, etc. You are already communicating without even talking -- many times you don't even realize it -- simply by the way you are standing or sitting.

Well, let's utilize that knowledge. How can that help you?

Find a person who you feel is a success. In your mind, visualize standing next to that person when he is at his peak of success. There you are, standing right beside him.

Check his posture. Check your posture.

What expression does he have on his face? Compare that to yours. What is the difference?

Where are his hands, what are they doing? How about yours? Notice the difference?

Where is he looking? Where are you looking?

What is it about his stance that shouts SUCCESS? What is there about yours that does or doesn't?

Now, in your mind, make the changes. See yourself with the same expression and body language. How does that feel?

Great, huh?

TIP: If it doesn't feel great, work with it until it does. Make all the changes you need to feel the success you want to be.

Good luck!

Food for Thought
by Dr. Kevin Nunley

Work Less, Earn More

Robert T Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," states that the rich don't work for money; they have other people work for their money.

This is invaluable wisdom for anyone who owns or operates a business.

Too many people are under the impression that, once you own your own business, your life will be smooth sailing.

However, owning your own business often means adding to your responsibilities. Sure, you have the choice of whether or not to do more work, but when more money is at stake, most people choose to take on more work than they can handle.

But it doesn't have to be that way!

Do as Kiosaki says and have others work for your money.This doesn't have to mean employing a full time staff.

Solicit as much work as you can and outsource to independent vendors or freelancers who will do the actual work. Then you can take a big cut of the money, as you were the one to find the project.

Grins

Sally Sells
=-=-=-=-=-=

A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day.

She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around furtively, then speak to them. If they seemed to respond negatively,  there would be a quick exchange, she would nod and then wander off.  The couple assumed she she was a  cop, but since they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her.

"Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?" He hadn't and said so.

He said "I'm going to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing."

The wife was hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave.  She ran down to the beach and asked her husband to give her the full story.

The man grinned and said, "She's a battery salesperson."

"Batteries?"cried the wife.

"Yes," he replied.!

OOOOOOOH!!!!!!, said the wife. "She sells C cells down by the sea shore."

-----

My first wife was, mmmm, how should I say this?. How's the saying go? She's been on more laps than a napkin?

Reminds me of one day when I was at work. I was feeling kinda low. My buddy, Mel asked me what was wrong.

"Mel, I can't believe it. Teri actually posed for nude pictures."

"Well," Mel said, "I wouldn't worry about it. It's probably just an expression of her interest in art. What was the nude picture for?"

I replied, "Her driver's license."

-----

Yesterday I went to the optician's, walked up to the counter and said to the guy on duty, "I think my eyes are going."

He said, "They've gone mate - this is Burger King."

-----

At the airport check-in counter I overheard a woman ask for window seats for both she and her husband.

The clerk pointed out that this would prevent them for sitting together.

"Sweetie," the woman replied, "I've just spent 10 days of quality time in a compact rental car with this man. I *know* what I'm requesting!"

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary Foreman

Heat, Humidity and Mold

Gary, I live in Atlanta, GA. I own a 1,000 square foot condo. I am cold natured and so I don't really run the air conditioner as much as other people might. However, down here in the South, we have something called humidity. It's not even a matter of me being comfortable. It's the mold issue. I'm allergic. Also, to cut costs, I have started hanging all my clothes to dry rather than using the dryer. I have to hang them inside (no yard). So, I'd like to cut costs as much as possible by not running the air conditioner, but I also do not want mold. Would changing the fan on the thermostat to "on" instead of "auto" help any with the dampness? Also, would purchasing a dehumidifier be an option?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

-----

Elizabeth has set up a pretty good challenge for herself. She lives in the hottest, wettest portion of the country. Since she's in a condo, she can't line dry her clothes outside. Plus, she's allergic to mold. But that doesn't mean that she has to throw in the towel. There are things that she can do to control the temperature, humidity and her budget.

Let's begin by analyzing the problem. Summers in Atlanta are hot and humid. That's a given. We know what temperature is, but what is humidity? Weather.com defines humidity as "the amount of water vapor in the air."

And, according to the EPA, moisture in the air encourages the growth of mold. They suggest keeping indoor humidity between 30 and 60% to control the growth of mold.

How do we do that? As Elizabeth pointed out, her air conditioner reduces humidity. It's part of the process of cooling air. But an air conditioner is expensive to run.

That brings us to the dehumidifier. According to Wikipedia, a dehumidifier is "a household appliance that reduces the level of humidity in air."

They are built very much like an air conditioner. So it's not a cheap appliance to run. Elizabeth shouldn't be surprised if her dehumidifier costs between $25 and $50 a month to run (it would be less in a dryer climate). Still, that's cheaper than running an air conditioner.

Dehumidifiers are rated based on how many pints of water they can remove in 24 hours. Elizabeth will probably need something that will remove about 17 pints per day.

Many dehumidifiers include a humidistat that will automatically shut it off when the proper humidity level has been reached. She may need to buy a hygrometer, which measures relative humidity. Electronic ones are available for less than $30.

One other tool that could help Elizabeth is a fan. Even if she doesn't have ceiling fans, a table or floor fan will do. Moving air feels cooler than standing air. That's because the moving air absorbs more heat from your skin.

Now that we understand our tools, let's put a strategy together for Elizabeth. First, the dehumidifier will cost less to run than the air conditioner. So she'll want to set it to run any time the relative humidity is over 50%.

Keeping a fan going in the room that she's in will allow Elizabeth to set her air conditioner at a higher temperature. Eighty is not uncomfortable if there's air moving in the room.

Elizabeth asked about keeping the fan on the air conditioner running constantly. That's probably not the best answer. The central A/C motor will use more electricity than the smaller motor on a ceiling or room fan. The only exception would be if the central air conditioner fan was equipped with a filter that's good enough to remove pollen from the air. Then it could be worthwhile to consume the extra electricity.

There are a couple of other things that Elizabeth can do to help. Use exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen, especially when showering or using steam or boiled water to cook food.

Better yet, don't generate the extra moisture. Shower at the gym and save those steamed/boiled recipes for the winter months.

Drying her clothes at home is probably not a good idea unless she has an outdoor balcony. What she saves at the laundromat, she'll spend running the dehumidifier.

Elizabeth can accomplish what she wants. Yes, it would be easier in other parts of the country or in a home where she could dry clothes outdoors. But reasonable use of a fan, dehumidifier and air conditioner should allow her to control humidity and temperature without sweating her budget too much.
