Tip of the Day

Do you Yahoo!?

If you're an avid Yahoo! user, you probably use it for pretty much everything you do. E-mail, an instant message program, games, different groups you can join, music you can download, sports news, the yellow pages and so on and so forth.

When you go to sign in to your Yahoo! account (this goes for any Yahoo! program), look below the username and password spaces and you'll see a checkbox that says "Keep me signed in." Then if you read the small print, it says "for 2 weeks unless I sign out." If you check that box, Yahoo! will keep you signed in to your account for two weeks straight, unless you specify otherwise. There's no more signing in all the time for you. This is sure to save you some time and hassle.

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher

Did you know that if you model someone else's physiology, you'll experience new choices of thought, emotion, and action?

Try it. Tape a talk show, like Jay Leno or David Letterman, and  mimic the guest stars that you like and admire. Sit as they do, talk as they do, walk as they do. If you like the feeling you get as you mimic them, rewind the tape and do it again and again. Do this preferably late at night, so your body and mind will *sleep* on it.

The next morning, see if your body doesn't unconsciously duplicate what you had mimicked last night.

An article that will help is *Do You Ask Why?"  You can see it here: http://www.tameyourbrain.com/douaskwhy.htm

Food for Thought

Build Your E-Mail List With Free Goodies

Nothing will keep you going in lean times like your own house email list. Nothing will help you turn good times into GREAT profits like your own house email list.

Email is almost free to send. It's handy for people to open and read. And people who willingly give you their email address are VERY likely to value what you have to say.

Use freebies to get people to give you their email address. The most common way is to over a free, info-packed newsletter. Folks sign up, they get your newsletter, you keep their email address.

You can also do this with ebooks. Rather than giving people your web site address where they can download the book, ask for the person's email address. Then send them an email giving them a special link where they can download the ebook. Make sure to mention that you will be sending additional updates from time to time, and how to unsubscribe if they don't want them.

Provide free access to your "private area." People have to enter their name and email address to get inside. There, they find good information or freebies they can't get on the public parts of your site.

Free ebooks, coupons, reports, and ads can also work this way. MAKE SURE people KNOW you are adding their name to your list and give them a way to GET OFF your list easily. You NEVER want to be accused of SPAM.

and you impoverish yourself  if you forget the errand."

Men and Drinks!
-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=

After the party, as the couple was driving home, the wife asks her husband,

"Honey, has anyone ever told you how handsome, sexy and irresistible you are to women?"

The flattered husband laughed and said, "No, dear, they haven't."

The wife yells,

"Then what gave you THAT idea at the party?!!"

Friendship among Women:

A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man
called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it.

Friendship among Men:

A man didn't come home one night. The next morning he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight confirmed that he had slept over, and two said he was still there.

A man walks along a lonely beach. Suddenly he hears a deep voice: DIG!

He looks around; nobody's there. "I am having hallucinations," he thinks. Then he hears the voice again: I SAID, DIG!

So he starts to dig in the sand with his bare hands, and after a bit, he finds a small chest with a rusty lock.

The deep voice says: OPEN!

OK, the man thinks, let's open the thing. He finds a rock with which to break the lock, and when the chest is finally open, he sees a lot of gold coins.

The deep voice says: TO THE CASINO!

Well, the casino is only a few miles away, so the man takes the chest and walks to the casino.

The deep voice says: ROULETTE!

So he changes all the gold into a huge pile of roulette tokens and goes to one of the tables where the players gaze at him with disbelief.

The deep voice says: 27!

The man takes the whole pile and drops it at the 27. The table nearly bursts. Everybody is quiet when the croupier throws the ball.

The ball stays at the 26.

The deep voice says: OOOPS!

When I was a 20-something college student, I became quite friendly with my study partner, a 64-year-old man, who had returned to school to finish his degree. He confessed, with a wink, that he had once thought more than friendship might be a possibility between us.
"So what changed your mind?" I asked him.

"I went to my doctor and asked if he thought a 40-year age difference between a man and woman was insurmountable. He looked at my chart and said, 'You're interested in someone who's 104?'"

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary Foreman

Farm Bill

It's fairly obvious to anyone who's not sleepwalking that higher food and fuel prices are really hurting most Americans. Everyday I get emails from folks who are struggling with these two bills. For many people, it's a real serious problem.

Maybe I'm just an optimist, but I figured that our elected representatives would recognize the problem and try to do something about it. Boy, was I wrong. Not only did they ignore the food price inflation, but they actually found a way to make it worse! They just don't seem to understand what it's like for you and me to work to support our families. Last week provided an excellent example. On May 14th, the House passed a $307 Billion farm bill.

Now, I like farmers as much as anyone. In fact, Foremans were Wisconsin dairy farmers. I was raised in the city, but spent a lot of time visiting relatives who made their living on small family farms. So I have the utmost respect for someone who plants something and nurtures it as it grows bigger. And, I want to help those people wherever I can. But, this bill doesn't do that. It assumes that you and I are too stupid to go beyond the name "farm bill." We must be too dumb to recognize that it's not the small farmer who's being protected. It's the large agri-business corporation and others who have little (or nothing) to do with farming as you and I would think of it.

First, look at the cutoff. A couple with a yearly income of $1.5 million can receive farm subsidies. Call me Scrooge, but I'd say that families making more than, oh, say $500,000 per year after expenses probably don't need subsidies paid for by you and me. One group reports that only 8% of the producers will get 78% of the money <http://www.forbes.com/businessinthebeltway/2008/05/14/farm-bill-congress-biz-beltway-cx_bw_0514farmbill.html>

Still think it could be a good piece of legislation? Take a look at your grocery bill. You'll find that bread, milk and meat have all increased in price. Dramatically. Why? In large part because ethanol is consuming grains that normally would go to feed us. Higher prices indicate that there's more demand for corn than we can produce. Now you might think that Washington would get the idea that their ethanol mandates should be relaxed until the supply of corn can catch up with the demand. Guess again. So why is the government subsidizing ethanol production? Seems a little like pouring gas on the fire of higher food prices.

Then you have the old Congressional shell game. That's where they include spending that has nothing to do with the main bill. After all, who wants to be against the family farm? So let's throw in some money for horse racing and timber interests. Those dummies back home will never know the difference!

Rational people might have said that this was a good time to limit a farm bill to helping those family farmers who truly need help. "Farm net income is up 56% in the last 2 years" (source: NY Times)<http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/20/opinion/20brooks.html ?_r=1&ref=opinion> There's "$40 billion in subsidies to commodity farmers who already enjoy record prices." (source: SF Chronicle) <http://www.sfgate.com/cgi- bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/05/14/MNIJ10M871.DTL&type=politics> We could have had a farm bill that took care of the small family farm without causing additional grocery inflation. But, that wouldn't have pleased all the special interests.

Guess I'm just mad. You and I are dealing with higher energy and food prices. Instead of doing something to help, our elected representatives (from both parties) are busy spending our money buying favors for themselves. Adding "earmarks" to every bill in sight. I really believe that it's time to put Washington on a budget. And, force them to keep it. Whoever said that they should be allowed to "earmark" anything? I don't recall voting on it.

Much of the economic trouble that you and I face today is due to the clowns (and I use the term intentionally) in Washington that we call elected representatives. They set us up for this fall. And, unless a camera is present, they really don't seem to care too much about how much it hurts us. After all, things are booming in the beltway. No recession there!

I was raised to respect the people who led our country. But, it's really hard to respect someone when you know that their back pockets are filled with money that at best was unearned and, at worst, could be called bribe money. Maybe it's time to let them know how little respect they've earned.

So the next time your elected representative says they're against special interests ask them how they voted on the farm bill. There were 318 yes votes (and only 106 no's) in the House. The Senate voted 85-15. This isn't a partisan Democrat/Republican issue. This is a question whether we can trust the crazies on the Potomac not to bankrupt both the government and you and me. If they voted "yes" on this bill, it's probably time to vote "no" on their re-election this November.
