--------------
ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
When did psychiatrists get the label "shrink"?
"Shrink" a word applied to all kinds of mental health
professionals these days, was used by Thomas Pynchon
in his 1966 novel "The Crying of Lot 49." The term may
have originated sooner, though, as a disparaging comparison
between psychiatrists and head shrinkers. Calling
psychiatrists "shrink" invites all kinds of comparisons
between psychiatry and primitive shamanism or sorcery.
What plant exists in more than nine thousand species?
Grass. There are more than nine thousand known species
in the grass family (technically called "Gramineae"). This may
seem hard to believe, but many plants you wouldn't think of
as grass actually belong to the grass family, including bamboo,
rice, sugarcane, corn, rye, wheat, barley, and oats.

Trying to keep thePEBBLE out of the clutches of your
spam filters is almost an impossible job. It is like chasing
moonbeams. Every spam filter has a different set of
qualifiers. I have decided I will not chase them.
thePEBBLE has been, is and will continue to be a
highly honorable publication dedicated to serving
our readers. There is no logical reason spam filters
cull it out of your mail, except for the odd word here
or there in an ad, or in a story or article. That is why
I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who
loyally follow the publication, especially The Saga Of
Pinehill.
I will continue to publish thePEBBLE daily and email
it to you. However, if your spam filter eats it, then you
can read it online.

---------------------------------
Are your emails really getting
through to people?
by Michelle Raybourn
PART 1 of 2
You need to be selective on who you use to get your
messages out or it's going to kill your online success.
If you use a database manager, like an autoresponder,
you might be surprised how many of your emails are NOT
getting to your readers.
Many of us do not have the luxury of having our own
server sitting in our house.
So that means we rely on third-parties to get our
emails out to our readers, prospects, clients, etc.
We have to rely on someone else so we can communicate
to those we need to the most - and we rely on them to
get the message through!
But many third-party service providers are not able
to get your message through. Well, what does that mean?
It means it can hurt you and your success online!
When I refer to third-party service providers, here's
what I am referring to:
1. Autoresponder services
2. Database managers for mailing lists
3. Web Hosts
Ok, so now you should be asking...
"Why can't they get my message through?"
Ok, so now here's the answer.
Because many of them get blacklisted all the time
and spamcop and spamhaus will block your emails
from getting to your readers, prospects or clients!
Is this because you personally have been blacklisted?
Answer is simple: NO!
It's because other users of that same service
provider have abused the system and as a result,
everyone that uses that provider is blacklisted!
Have you received those emails and thought YOU were
blacklisted? Don't freak when you see them. Instead,
dig into them. I'll show you how.
Let me give you an example of what's been happening
to me recently.
Like many Ezine publishers online I used an auto-
responder service to get my weekly issues out to my
readers. This autoresponder service would let me
schedule many issues in advance. It would also allow
me to contact any of my subscribers whenever I wanted,
outside of the scheduled issues.
But many times I would receive undeliverable
notifications - stating I had been blacklisted by
spamcop or some other spam blocking service.
Now in these email notifications it would list an IP
address (IP - internet protocol numbers assigned to
computer internet users) and state which spam blocking
service blacklisted me.
But wait! I don't use email marketing to solicit
business - I only send to people that have either
bought from me or requested to subscribe to my Ezine.
So why am I being blacklisted? Not fair!
Well, I took that IP and went to that spam blocking
service site and looked it up.
Guess what I found? It isn't ME they blacklisted, it
is the service provider (the autoresponder owner)
that is blacklisted! And, I dug further and even
found who got them blacklisted!
(More next week)

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -
Amalgam or Mercury: A Sense Of Confusion
PART 1 of 9
In my daily Internet life, I am constantly being
reminded of dental problems. In my opinion they are
indicators of underlying health conditions. I want
offer you some ideas on amalgam (silver) fillings or
“mercury”. They are also known as silver alloy. I don’t
pretend to be anything of an expert, but what I would
like to do is share some of the information and
confusion I have discovered in my research.
As always, please use this information to help yourself
think and challenge your beliefs. You will see I am as
confused…or was, as anyone else. Follow your own
intuition. Do all your own research. This will give you
some links to start with. I will include a section
(incomplete) on resources that I used both for this
article and for answers to other people’s questions.
Some of this information might create more questions in
your mind as it did for me. It might also raise your
anxiety levels. Please read it all and don’t jump to
any conclusions.
It is my practice that once I get several questions on
one particular topic, I investigate further. Then I
start some in-depth research of my “regular” medical
sites and my text books. (Each health column I write
comes about this way.) But the mercury issue seems to
be following a different pattern. I have questions and
find a tremendous amount of “diversity” in the
“answers” I found. I had no idea what I was letting
myself in for!!! So I will share some of my findings.

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET

THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many
adventures and many places.
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

The three of them were beginning to walk
sneakily, as if they did not wish to be seen. Mae
heard them talking.
"Where did that black haired bitch go. I
didn't see her leave. Now there are only the
yellow hair and the girl. Look around close. See
if she is in the ditch, or off the side of the
road, behind a tree. We must know where she is."
Then one of them said, "Come on you guys.
These are only two women and a girl. Stop behaving
as if they are an army. All we need do is go up to
them and twist their arms. They will follow like
sheep. If they do not we'll twist the harder. If
they think they can get away by running we'll
catch them and break their fingers. Then they'll
not run. We can get them back to the restaurant
with no trouble at all. Then we'll have some fun.
The fellas back home will sure like these ones. We
can make money on the two older ones."
Mae kept up with them until they were well out
of the village and alone. She waited until they
had dropped over a small hill in the road and the
village was out of sight.
At that point she moved well ahead of them,
placed a shield in front of her and made herself
visible. She knew she could set the scene to scare
the men away, but that would only scare them and
they would continue their harmful ways.
"Look! There she is!" the men were themselves
suddenly surprised. There goes one advantage.
The one Mae had already dealt with began to
fall back. He was already hurting and in pain. His
thoughts of harming a woman were triggering the
pain mechanism Mae told him about. He was
cowering, keeping his legs closed and beginning to
hold himself in the groin.
The other two could not believe their eyes. He
was useless to them now and there were only the
pair of them to deal with this woman.
Brave men they were, for they well knew they
could handle any woman. They began to come for
Mae.
"Halt!" Mae held up her hand. They faltered
but kept coming.
They hit the invisible shield and both of them
were on the ground, each tending to their noses.
They had not seen the shield and run smack into
it, unwittingly. They had hit their noses first
and hard.
The surprise of what had happened shook them
up a little. In any fight with a man the real
trick is to get him flat on the ground. By the
time you do that three times the fight is gone out
of him.
They rose and came at her again. This time she
became invisible and caused them to go right on by
her, but she tripped them, and they fell flat on
their faces on the ground again.
They turned over, looking back Mae had
become visible again. She stood there quietly
observing them. They were confused. They could not
understand how they ended up in this position.
They got up and looked at one another, then at
Mae. They snarled like mad dogs. They charged
again.
This time Mae stood her ground and broadcast
pure love unto them, in copious amounts. This love
energy hit the men with a force. It amplified and
their intentions both in focus and in energy. They
hit the shield and it was as if the shield were
electrified. They stopped dead in their tracks,
hands in the air ready to grab Mae, and were
shaking and screaming as if there was an
electrical energy running through their entire
bodies.
Mae allowed it to continue. It was not
electricity. It was the amplified force of their
evil intentions.
Mae then stopped the energy field. They
dropped like stones, to the ground.
"Stand up! Stand up like the brave men you
think you are. Are you going to let a woman beat
you? Wait until word of this gets back to the
restaurant. You will be the laughing stock of the
entire village. Stand up!" Mae commanded them
with words that shook them to their very core.
They tried to stand but they had been weakened
by the energy blast.
Mae then proceeded to walk around them. They
tried to rise, and eventually made it. Their third
partner wanted to come help them, thinking that
three could surely subdue this woman. But his evil
thoughts along those lines only inflicted more
pain unto him. He could not move. He was
completely ineffective.
The other two were now standing, but hardly.
They were moaning as if in pain. Mae circled them.
She was not angry, but determined. She knew she
had control of the situation. She spoke the same
words unto these men she had, a couple days ago,
recited unto their third partner. When she was
done both men were in pain and hollering, legs
closed and holding their groins. The display would
have been embarrassing for them in any other
situation but here they were alone and in terrible
pain.

My friend was standing in front of a soda machine muttering,
"You're a dumb-looking button. You don't have much of a future,
either. You're going to be replaced by a much better looking

"What are you doing?" I asked.
