I hope all had an enjoyable holiday. We celebrate Christmas and had a houseful both Christmas Eve, as well as Christmas Day. Christmas Day started with our annual visit from the Fire Department. The firemen/women dress up in Christmas Motiff as Santa and his Reindeers and tour the entire town on the firetruck. They always stop at our house as the last stop of the morning. Then it is off to the firehouse to give gifts to the children of the less fortunate.  We won't be publishing Monday (New Years Eve) but will return that Wednesday.  Happy New Year and may the Bluebird of Happiness not mess on your head in 2008. - Bob

Many people who retire, find that their retirement income may not enough to live the life style they wish.  They then look about for other ways to generate some additional earnings. Many are attracted to the Internet, and some do very well while others do not.  Those that do not may get quickly disenchanted, and write the Internet off as just a lot of hype, where you can't earn anything. That's like getting a flat tire in your car, and swearing that the automobile has no future.

Anyone going into business on the Internet, must do several things if they hope to achieve success.  Probably the first thing is to recognize and avoid the "get rich quick" schemes, that promise great earnings in a short period of time, with little if any effort on your part.  People quickly find their email overflowing with all kinds of offers like this.  Everything from illegal chain letters, to the Nigerian money laundering scam that promises you 25 percent of 35 million dollars, starts arriving and unfortunately a lot of people bite.

Believing the hype of some affiliate deals, they join a few and quickly find that they don't have to install a bigger mailbox to hold all the payments they thought they would get.  Many of these programs require that you pay a monthly fee to be involved, and the founders are the only ones making money. If someone tells you that you don't have to work, forget about it. Like any other business, if you don't put forth any effort, your chances of success are slim to none.

Even if you do all the right things, like your car, you may get a flat tire along the way.  That is not the time to quit.  You may experience several failures before finding the right one.

Before "jumping in with both feet" however, examine some of the offers being made on the Internet.  The very best way to do this is to subscribe to some online publications and review the ads.  Paid ads that appear on a regular basis are a good sign of potentially good opportunities.  If the advertisers were not making any money, they wouldn't be spending their hard earned money for them.

While free advertising has its place, it cannot be the only method you use.  The old saying "that you have to spend a buck to make a buck" is equally true on the Internet. Consider placing your ad in the ezines or newsletters that have a high repeat rate with their advertisers.

Your ad headline and copy are critical to your success.  Don't use the copy supplied by the affiliate program, as many people use them, and those ads get tired very quickly.  If necessary, get some professional help in writing your ad. A good ad will pull - a bad or tired ad won't.

Target your ads toward those you think will become a prospect.  Millions of ads sent out as unsolicited email (spam) will do little if any good.  A well constructed ad in an ezine, targeted to the proper audience, even if they only have a few thousand subscribers, will out pull the spam.

Something as simplistic as being a Amazon.com affiliate can generate income.  If you are an expert in your field, and get recognized as one, an affiliate program with Amazon might be the way to go.  You may not become wealthy overnight, but as your exposure grows, so will your income.

If you don't have your own web site, forget about it.  That's like a merchant without a store trying to do business out of the back of their car. The cost of web space is so low today, that you can't afford not to have one.

If you are a "Snow Bird" heading South for the Winter, or simply someone wishing to supplement their income, you can achieve success on the web. But it does take work and some common sense. If you don't, it just may be your business that "went south".

The Cat's Diary

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

     In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe ----- For now...

A jet ran into some turbulent weather.

To keep the passengers calm the flight attendants brought out the beverage carts.

"I'd like a soda," said a passenger in the first row. Moving along, the attendant asked the man behind her if he would like something.

"Yes, I would," he replied. "Give me whatever the pilot is drinking!"

"A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall. He approached a uniformed policeman and said, 'I've lost my grandpa!'

The cop asked, 'What's he like?"

The little boy hesitated for a moment and then replied, 'Crown Royal whiskey and women with big breasts'

Riddle

A girl was having a dream where she was being chased by a lion. She ran around frantically until she found a tree that she could climb. She climbed as high as she could, out of reach of the lion, when she saw a snake above her. She couldn't go up and she couldn't go down.

How did she escape?

Do you know the answer? Scroll down for the solution.

Would you like to gain rapport easily? It isn't all that tough.

If the person you are speaking to speaks softly, you speak softly.

If the person you are looking at looks you in the eye, you look them in the eye.

If the person you are speaking to speaks quickly, you speak quickly.

If the person you are speaking to is standing very still, you stand very still.

If their hands are constantly moving, move yours. If they pat you on the back, pat them on the back.

If you've made them smile, smile back.

Do all of that gradually, until you are both comfortable with it.
