It's Just To Easy To Quit! By: Audra Gehrke I could have thrown in the towel a thousand times in the last 4+ years but I didn't. That would just make it to easy and besides, then what would I do, I asked myself. I didn't have an answer then and I still don't. What I'm doing now is really the only thing I've ever loved, and that is helping other people. We all get obstacles that try and get in our way, but we always have other options when something happens to us no matter what it is. These are what I like to call our trying times. Like something is trying to see if we can make it through it or not. If we can, then we should have learned a lesson from it. If we don't make it through it, then it probably will happen to us again. Life is a big circle that keeps spinning around and around. We either change something or we leave it alone and it never changes. When we give something we receive something. Give good get good, give bad and you get bad back. It's a big circle and it will always stay the same until we do something to change it. People want us to quit. Our friends and families don't want to see us succeed. At least that's how it is for most of us who try and become self employed. I don't know why, but people seem to hate to see people succeed, especially if they aren't successful themselves. We all need someone who will support us in our decisions and it doesn't matter who you get it from, as long as you get it. Whether you have someone who you talk to through email, a friend, a mentor, just someone who will support you in your decisions and give you good advise. In the end, you'll be supporting each other and that is always a great thing to have. It's very uplifting to check my email in the morning and read some emails from my friends on the internet. They're my colleagues but they're my friends too, and we all support each other which really makes it something to look forward to everyday. We work our butts off to build our businesses so why someone can just call it quits is beyond me. Then what are you going to do, build another business? How are you going to do that when your first business didn't work? Do you know why it didn't work? These are things people need to be aware of before they even think about starting something new. It's like jumping from program to program but you've never really succeeded with the first one, but you're still joining everything that comes along. You can say your giving up on the last program you joined the moment you join something new, because you totally lose focus of it. I know, I used to do that too. You have to find that one thing that really, really sparks your interest and that's the one you put all of your attention on and leave everything else alone. If something isn't working then change it, or get out of it, but don't keep wasting your money on things that aren't working for you because all that will do is get you broke. Focus on what you want and forget everything else for the time being. By all means don't call it quits. There's a million options for us and we need to start putting them to use. If you have questions then ask them. Who do you ask you might say? Hmmmm...Publishers are a good place to start. Do you have a favorite publisher? That's the one you need to get in touch with, because publishers really are your best friends and they're always willing to help anyone who asks. It's just to easy to quit, so don't you do it! All the best, Audra ****************************************** Audra Gehrke is the owner of Ecommerce Resources: http://www.ecommerce-resources.org & she's also the publisher of Ecommerce Resources Ezine: http://www.ecommerce-resources.org/e-zine.html & the Author of: http://www.ecommerce-resources.org/guide.html |

Home is Sanctuary! by Colleen Langenfeld Copyright (c) 2003 Is your home a sanctuary? A genuine port-in-the-storm kind of place? Or does your home drain rather than re-charge you? Make your home the inviting oasis you want it to be. Just remember these few easy steps: - Orderliness. Things don't need to be perfect, but they do need to be fairly orderly. Chaos does not promote peace! - Beauty. Now, I'm not talking about HOUSE BEAUTIFUL here, although that's great if that's the way you like it. There's a reason home decor is so popular; we feel and perform better when we feather our nests! Beauty and comfort are the keys, so pay particular attention to color and clutter. - Organization. You need to be able to find what you're looking for when you need it. Enough said. - Inviting. Hospitality is simply the art of making others feel at home. Comfortable furnishings, soothing sights, sounds and scents go a long way towards cultivating a relaxing atmosphere in your own little corner of the world. - Relationships. Let's get real: when people are constantly bickering, there is no peace and no sanctuary. Adults and children need a safe space where they can be accepted, appreciated, and encouraged to grow. Use this short list to test your household's appeal. Discover the power of intentionally and creatively designing a home life that can empower the members of your family to give of their best each day and enjoy the rewards of rejuvenating together each evening. ========================= Colleen Langenfeld delivers deals, tips and creative resources to working moms who want the most out of their homes, families and careers at http://www.paintedgold.com .

Free E-mail - Are You Using It Properly?
by: Ed Andrist ParadigmWebDesign.net Do you use a free E-mail service such as Hot mail? Likely you do. Nearly 95% of all people connected to the Internet do, including myself. And this is fine and good. I really don't have a problem with that. However......... You knew that was coming didn't you? However, I do have a problem with those using free E-mail accounts for business purposes or as a catchall for spam and newsletter subscriptions. What I'm talking about is credibility here. Should I really place my trust in a business with an E-mail address like mybusiness@SomeFreeAccount.com? Oh com'on! Really! That doesn't ad one iota to my level of trust, nor does it add to your consumer's trust in you as a business. Many of us marketers have found out the hard way that posting to FFA links and the like fills our In boxes up with spam, hence we have learned to use a free E-mail account for this form of advertising. That done, those accounts are basically forgotten as we pat ourselves on the back for getting our ads posted for free all without filling our regular In box up with spam. This having worked so well, we now sign up for another free E-mail account just for business, leaving our real E-mail free for messages from friends and family. Well, think what you want, but I'm telling you this is just plain tacky! You see, our potential customers are not stupid. Never forget our customers are every bit as intelligent as you or I and with the mistrust of marketers on the Internet today, they will not respond positively to a throw-away E-mail address. Consumers still stinging from last year's fiasco with the failed dot-coms and breaches of privacy issues, need to be reassured that you are honest and professional. Nothing helps to build consumer confidence more than a “real” E-mail address along with a physical address and phone number. If you're hiding behind a throw-away E-mail address, consumers are likely to wonder what else you're hiding. But what I, as a publisher of a newsletter, find even more annoying are those who use a throw-away E-mail address when subscribing to newsletters. Perhaps they have received a free ad just for subscribing. Many newsletter publishers do offer free ads for their subscribers, but this will soon come to an end if people keep abusing this privilege. Of course the reasoning for this is that they will benefit from the free ad and not have to pay the “price” of reading the E-zine. And once the throw-away E-mail In box is full, all further messages sent to that address are bounced. This type of behavior really burns me for several reasons. For one, it's not fair to the paying advertisers in the newsletter or E-zine and two it's not fair to the guest editorialists. And of course, it's not fair to the publishers either. You see, most E-zine publishers work very hard to provide quality content each week or in some cases, each day. Part of the way we are compensated for our hard work is by paying advertisers. This is a win-win situation. The publisher gets paid for his or her hard work, the advertisers get their ad seen by many people at a substantially lower cost than other more traditional forms of advertising. However, E-zine publishing isn't only about content, it's about numbers. Nobody is going to pay to advertise in an E-zine without a sizable subscriber database. Hence the need, sometimes, for free ads. It takes time to build up a large subscriber database with perhaps thousands of newsletters and E-zines vying for reader's attention. Guest editorialists benefit from this system as well. Writing articles for an E-zine is perhaps the lowest cost advertising of all. But for this to be effective, their articles need to be read. I think I speak for the majority of writers when I say that they too, work very hard to provide quality content. Isn't it only fair then, that you read their articles? Who knows, you might actually learn something. Throw-away E-mail subscriptions has become a problem for Web Sm@rts as well as other newsletter publications. Therefore, perhaps publishers need to verify all subscription requests from free E-mail services and also ask for a “real” address. This will ensure that our guest editorialists articles are actually read and that our advertisers ad is seen by the largest number of people possible. Bounced E-mails from throw-away accounts should be immediately un subscribed, no questions asked. *************** Ed Andrist is the owner of Paradigm Web Design Paradigm Web Design offers a wide variety of custom built websites from business websites complete with shopping carts to birth announcements designed to be shared with family and friends.

Creative Landscaping with Railroad Ties
Article by Jack Stone Did you know that people are still using railroad ties for all sorts of decorative and functional purposes throughout their landscapes? You didn't? Well, where have you been? Railroad ties are used by landscape contractors as a main design component of landscaping both homes and businesses. The use of railroad ties make work easier for grounds maintenance. Before we talk about all the great things you can do with railroad ties let's talk about how easy and inexpensive they are to use when compared to various brick and block structures. The nicest thing about railroad ties is the ease with which they can be used. It requires much less skill to construct a retaining wall of ties than one of block. For one thing you don't have to be overly concerned about perfectly straight lines. While railroad ties may cost as much as brick or block per square foot to purchase they cost only 1/4th the time in labor to install. Consider how much money that could save, especially if you have to subcontract out the brick or block work to a mason. Creative uses of railroad ties are limited only by your imagination. They can be stacked horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. They can be staggered front to back or top to bottom. They can border lawns as a mowing strip or set off ground cover from gravel beds. They can be used as risers for stairs or as terraces on a slope. How about a walkway or driveway? How about a fence? Stand them upright and spaced 3" to 6" apart. Or, stand them upright on a diagonal so that from one angle they appear to be a solid wall but from another afford a view. Cut them into 2 foot lengths and create a basket weave walkway. Why stop there? How about a jumbled collection of short sections stacked amongst some boulders or to frame a flower bed? Have a steep hill that's slowly washing away? Terrace it with a series of short retaining walls. Tired of the boring expanse of iceplant on a slope? Break it up with groupings of railroad ties. Separate irrigation areas (i.e. lawns, flower beds, and trees). Stand one upright and stick a mail box on it or a concrete seagull! Better yet you can make some real nice walkway lights. Use railroad ties to define water effects like ponds or fountains. Ties can be integrated into waterscapes as well as landscapes. Maintenance gardeners appreciate the use of railroad ties to divide lawn areas from the garden areas because of the durable nature of the tie. The use of ties around parking areas will protect your sprinklers from damage. Mowing and edging along ties is easy with a line trimmer and saves time on lawn maintenance. If you have your own growing grounds for nusery plants then loose ties can be easily used for dividing areas and controlling invasive weeds. All it takes to install railroad ties is a hammer, some chisels and gouges, and a heavy drill with a long sharp boring bit. There! That should give you a few ideas. See? Railroad ties can be used for all sorts of things. Railroad ties come in many different shapes, sizes and grades. These factors can be very important in determining the price of the ties. Not all railroad ties are the same. Some come rough cut and others are smooth and even-cornered. Some are pressure treated and creosoted while others are only creosoted. When ordering or selecting railroad ties measure their height, depth, and length to make sure that they meet your planned specifications. Nothing can be more frustrating then to have ties that are two inches shorter than you planned. The creative use of railroad ties will enhance your landscapes, decrease your labor costs in grounds maintenance, and are easy to work with and install. Think of using railroad ties on your next landscaping project. Pro Garden Biz.com |

Rampant Rudeness on the Internet: What Would "Miss Manners" Say? by: Merle MCPromotions.com Give some people a computer and an Internet connection and they think it's a license for rudeness. What is it about the Internet that causes some folks to take all they learned about basic etiquette and throw it right out the window? Think about it: Just because your reader can't see you doesn't give you the right to be rude, but there are millions of Net users who feel that it does. I've been called names I'd rather not repeat in polite company and have been replied to in ALL CAPS. I'm not deaf.... THERE'S REALLY NO NEED TO YELL. I attribute this newfound sense of rudeness to the feeling of invisibility one gets while sitting behind the keyboard. I mean, would you really come up to me face to face and call me a "Jackass" when you can't read simple directions on how to unsubscribe yourself from my ezine? I think not. In this new digital age it appears we've taken everyday common courtesy and thrown it right out the window. Whatever happened to "please" and "thank you?" My mother, who taught me as a child to call all adults 'Mr.' or 'Mrs.' would have cardiac arrest over the emails I receive on a daily basis. Remember the "Golden Rule?" "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you." Translation: before you call someone names, swear at them, report them to Spam Cop or do any other annoying gesture, stop and think. Maybe you did subscribe to that ezine and just don't remember. Try giving someone the benefit of the doubt before firing off an ugly email message that a real live breathing human being with feelings is going to read. Computers may not have feelings, but people do and there's a person behind every email address and/ or website. Here are the 'Top 10 Do's and Don'ts' for online communication:
There's enough road rage in the world, so when traveling the information highway please remember that we're all human. Your computer is just a tool used to communicate with others.

Title: Personal Finance 101 Part 1 of 4 Author: David Berky The subject of personal finance is very broad, but as a beginning, I would like to discuss what I consider the foundations of personal finance: Security, Stability, Growth and Protection & Management. Security Security to me means that I am prepared for the "hit by a bus" scenario. I have life insurance to provide for my wife and children. Health, disability, auto and home insurance policies also provide me additional protection in their respective areas. I also have a list of where these policies are, who my agents are, phone numbers and basic policy information (#s, amounts, costs, etc.) I keep this information both in a file at my house and in a safety deposit box at the bank (a friends home will also work - think: "house burns down" scenario). Also my wife and my brother and sister-in-law who live nearby also know where these things are. I also try to maintain an emergency fund of cash in a bank account or money market account (with checks) so that I am prepared for a financial disaster, layoff, or natural disaster. It took several years to build up this cash fund. I started with a goal to have enough cash for 6 months of my normal financial needs (mortgage, food, insurance, transportation, etc.). Now I am trying for 12 months' worth. I do this by saving a little each month, and "investing" a portion of all "found" money (gifts, inheritances, tax returns, anything unexpected). I have a will and update it each year around New Year's to reflect any changes in my life during the past year (new children, new home or business, etc.). Most people don't need an extensive will, the forms you buy at your office supply store will do. But in some states if you die without one, watch out. What happens to your money and even your children could be entirely up to some state or court appointed official. ************************************************************ © Simple Joe, Inc.

The Animal Rescue Site is having
trouble getting enough people to click on their link daily
to meet their quota to getting free food donated every day to abused
and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their
site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. This doesn't
cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number
of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in
exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com Salmonella in You and Your Pets Ronald S. Hines DVM PhD 5/27/03 mailto:second.chance2@verizon.net Salmonella are a group of bacteria that inhabit the intestinal tract of a large number of animals. In 1885 Daniel E. Salmon discovered them. When conditions are right, these bacteria can cause severe disease leading to food poisoning or death. There are about twenty species of salmonella and 2,300 serotypes. All can cause disease. In a normal intestine of a healthy animal, a multitude of “friendly” bacteria and yeast keep the number of salmonella and other “bad” bacteria at a constant low level. Too low a level to cause disease. If however, the animal is stressed or exposed to massive numbers of ‘bad” bacteria, the bacteria begin to produce toxic products and migrates into the blood stream causing a condition called septicemia or blood poisoning People are rather resistant to Salmonellosis. When we develop a case of it, it usually causes, chills, malaise, diarrhea and cramps. Dogs, horses, pigs and reptiles are also quite resistant to salmonella. A typical source of salmonella poisoning in people is the salad bar of fast food restaurants or the consumption of chicken that is under cooked. Salmonella is a tough organism that can live for several months at freezer temperatures. Because the organism colonizes the intestine, any case of the disease implies that fecal material was spread on improperly washed hands or utensils. Salmonella is particularly severe in young, debilitated or stressed animals. In birds, a common source is Salmonella typhimurium from rodent droppings. Many mice and rats carry salmonella for years but appear healthy. When they contaminate the feed of parrots or chickens, sudden death occurs. A few of the sick birds recover and become chronic carriers themselves. Initially, animals with Salmonellosis run high fevers (105 – 107F). They quickly become depressed and dehydrated and die in a matter of hours. Often, the disease progresses so rapidly that antibiotics are not effective. Once the organism is present in a flock or herd, it is virtually impossible to get it out – short of depopulating the entire herd or flock. This is because despite vigorous antibiotic therapy, a few chronically infected animals will remain to spread the disease. . These carrier animals shed the organism only intermittently. The most famous salmonella carrier was Typhoid Mary Malone. From 1900 to 1907 she cheerily prepared wedding feasts in New York City, which were responsible for the sickness of Forty-seven guests and the deaths of three. She was a good cook and her services were in demand. Within the last fifteen years it has become evident that virtually all reptiles carry salmonella in their intestines. A common salmonella carried by turtles, iguanas and snakes is Salmonella arizonae. Despite the popularity of pet reptiles, it is surprising how few human cases of this disease have been traced back to reptiles. A disturbing development is that many strains of salmonella have become resistant to the chloramphenicol, nitrofurans, ampicillin and fluroquinolone antibiotics formerly used to treat them. Some things you can do to prevent Salmonellosis:
Salmonella, stress and poor husbandry all go together. When husbandry and nutrition are good, most animals that are exposed to salmonella show no signs of disease. 2ndchance.info |

Parsley Water Parsley water can be used for clearing toxins by stimulating kidney function and aiding in urinary tract health.

B As Happy As A B! (c) By Lena Sanchez A simple little supplement that has such huge ramifications if your body is devoid of sufficient amounts! Having suffered from motion sickness for my entire life I was not anticipating a trip across the ocean, even a short distance to Catalina Island by boat. Especially since all I had to do was walk out on a pier and look down through the boardwalk to become nauseous even to the point of vomiting every time... I mentioned this to one of my employees as I lamented about knowing I would ruin the day with my motion sickness. She then told me how she combats motion sickness, one each of B1, B6 & B Complex vitamins taken a couple of hours before departing and for good measure, the night before as well... So my husband and I took them the night before and again before we left to go to Long Beach to get on the boat. Lo and behold, it worked. Had a great trip without an inkling of motion sickness, in fact a lot of others were very ill on the return ride back, due to a rough seas, but not my husband or I. I must have been born B deficient, or at least it seemed that way, since my childhood was spent with motion sickness in my fathers wandering travels across country. I now no longer experience motion sickness as I take daily supplemental vitamins and minerals! My older daughter had always suffered with canker sores on her mouth and with my study into B vitamins discovered that was a common symptom of B deficiency... Now she is free of canker sores! I soon found a lot of other symptoms that point to a B vitamin deficiency. A common classical symptom of B complex deficiency is, depression and the tendency to cry without any particular reason, mostly seen in women, is also said to let you know that you are dangerously lacking in B vitamins and/or a multitude of minerals and trace minerals. Research conducted at Tufts suggests that blood levels of various B vitamins that fall at the lower end of the "normal" range can interfere with mental dexterity. A severe deficiency does not have to be present for memory impairment to occur. Taking B vitamins particularly B-12, B-6, folic acid, biotin and niacin may reverse memory problems, according to the study. The participants in the study were given 10 times the RDA of B vitamins for more than a year and those taking the B vitamins demonstrated significant improvements in memory. A vitamin B complex deficiency puts a tremendous level of stress on the adrenal glands and often those deficient in the B's will also need adrenal support. Lying down and resting for five minutes, taking your blood pressure, then standing immediately and taking the blood pressure again is a good way to assess low adrenal function. The higher number of the blood pressure measurement should read at least ten points greater upon standing, than it was when lying down. If your blood pressure is not 10 points greater or if it goes down when you stand up, reduced adrenal function is suspect. The degree of hypoadrenalism is often proportionate to the degree the blood pressure drops (Balch, 1997: 91, 92). In "Vitamin B Complex in Human Nutrition," Judith DeCava, Ph.D lists many other possible symptoms of a B complex deficiency are: mild to severe depression - forgetfulness - vague fears - uneasiness to panic - mood swings - rage - morbid thoughts - hostility - restlessness - apprehension - constant feeling that something dreadful is going to happen - suspicions - instability -anxiety -mental confusion - noise sensitivity - inability to handle stress - hearing noises, voices, etc. - loss of ability to concentrate - impaired intellect - loss of memory - nervousness - weakness - fatigue - lightheadedness or dizziness - digestive problems - hypochlorhydria (insufficient stomach acid production) - constipation or diarrhea - stomach pains - decreased or increased appetite - craving for sweets - heart palpitations - chest pains - neuralgia to neuritis - muscular soreness - pain, tingling or achiness - cold hands and feet - heightened sensitivity to touch and/or pain - menstrual complaints - soreness of the mouth - dermatitis - acne - burning or itching eyes - difficulty swallowing - sore throat - hypochondria - headaches - insomnia or sleep disturbances. So the question of "To B or Not To B" should point the way "To B" if you have any of the symptoms noted above... It's cheaper than going through a battery of tests that the doctor will or should order and fail to detect a B deficiency... If after faithfully taking Minerals and B-Complex vitamins for a few weeks and the symptoms persist then see your doctor! ***Lena Sanchez a happy retired Medical Office Nurse/Administrator/Consultant who took charge of her life 8 years ago and is committed to helping others do the same in all areas of life… Editor of 'Natural Environmental Health Facts & Your Home Business Coach Ezine" Free ezine subscribe at http://www.envirodocs.com/newsletter.htm PS: Get Your Information to become a Successful Internet Business Person! at http://www.antibiotic-alternatives.com/business_library.htm Subscribe to A Natural Environmental Health Facts & Your Home Business Coach Ezine at http://www.envirodocs.com/newsletter.htm |
