Tip of the DayEmail Etiquette
If you are a beginner on the Internet you may not know much about proper email etiquette.
It is considered good form, (as well as helpful) to respond to an email by copying it and pasting it into your reply document, and then typing in your reply ABOVE the previous message.
If your recipient receives a great deal of email, they can easily reference what your particular message is regarding, because you have conveniently included it below your reply.
I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to have to search for a previous email correspondence with a potential customer, just because they might not know to include it in their current reply!
And, speaking of email etiquette. In general, writing in ALL CAPS is considered "shouting". It is considered acceptable to use capitals once in a while, either for a heading, or for emphasis, but it is not recommended to use it all the time, for every letter.
And if you are forwarding a joke or something, take a second and delete the addresses of everyone else who received it before you. You are not only doing them a favor, as their address is not being populated all over the Internet, but also the person you are sending it to - they don't have to wade through pages of addresses to get to the email. Some people say they don't have the time to do this. Nonsense it takes a few seconds of your time -if you're to lazy to do this, and if your time is that valuable, take up something like knitting to occupy yourself.

Something to Think About by Jan Tincher
Do you know when problems occur?
Problems usually occur when there is a gap between where you are and where you want to be.
In other words, as soon as you define a goal, you've made a problem because you don't yet have your goal.
Problems are lessened when goals are stated as projects and a map of sorts is made to get to the goal.
That being the case, the minute you make a goal, make plans on how you can achieve it. You bypass the *problem* area Instantly.

Food for Thought
Well-Established Business
Sixty-five percent of new businesses cease to exist three years after they start. I'm convinced a large part of those folks simply get tired of the business and move on to something else. Often they leave behind very well-established business and product names. Don't let these names fade away! You can get permission to continue them. They come with built-in customer trust and recognition.

Quote of the Day
"Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater"
- William Hazlitt, English Essayist
GrinsThe Will
-=-=-=-=A man went to his lawyer and stated, "I would like to make a will but I don't know exactly how to go about it."
The lawyer said, "No problem, leave it all to me."
The man looked somewhat upset as he said, "Well, I knew you were going to a large fee, but I'd like to leave a little
to my children, too!"-----
I recently asked my friend's daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?' She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.' Her parents beamed.
"Wow...what a worthy goal," I told her. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents still aren't speaking to me.

How would you pronounce this child's name?
"Le-a" ?
Leah? NO
Lee - A? NOPE
Lay - a? NO
Lei? Guess Again.
This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong. It's pronounced "Ledasha". When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."
SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash. If they axe you why, tell them the dash don't be silent.

A man has spent many days crossing the desert without water. His camel dies of thirst. He's crawling through the sands, certain that he has breathed his last, when all of a sudden he sees an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him. He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what looks to be an old brief case. He opens it and out pops a genie.... But this is no ordinary genie. He is wearing an IRS ID badge and dull grey suit. There's a calculator in his pocket. He has a pencil tucked behind one ear. "Well, kid," says the genie. "You know how it works. You have three wishes."
"I'm not falling for this." says the man. "I'm not going to trust an IRS agent."
"What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and it looks like you're a goner anyway!" The man thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie is right.
"OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plentiful food and drink." **POOF*** The man finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen. And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platers of delicacies.
"OK, kid, what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams." **POOF*** The man finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems.
"OK, kid, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!" After thinking for a few minutes, the man says: "I wish that no matter where I go beautiful women will want and need me."
***POOF***
He is turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story? If the IRS offers you anything, there's going to be a string attached!!

The Dollar Stretcher
by Gary ForemanSurplus
I was doing a little research on circumstances for an interview when I happened across this quote.
"A man with a surplus can control circumstances, but a man without a surplus is controlled by them, and often has no opportunity to exercise judgment." Harvey S. Firestone (founder of the Firestone Tire Company)
I thought how accurate that was in the current situation. Those individuals and families that have some money in the bank, some equity in their home and paid-up credit cards do have control over their circumstances. They can get additional job training or sell their house and move. If they lose a job, then can survive on unemployment for a short time. In short, they have some options.
On the other hand, anyone without a surplus today is really being controlled by the circumstances. And, that's a dangerous place to be. For some there's still time to make the changes necessary to build up some surplus.
Keep on Stretching those Dollars!
