existing customers feel like kings, you could get one
customer to bring you another customer just like them -
by Word-of-Mouth advertising. That would double your

TODAY'S TRIVIA - - -
-----------------------
So why aren't most lakes and rivers salty then?
Do the oceans get saltier and saltier every year?
--------------
ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Where did the expression "mad as a hatter" originate?
"Mad hatter's disease" (think of the Mad Hatter in
"Alice in Wonderland") was a name used in the 19th
century to describe the psychiatric symptoms of mercury
poisoning. The term came into use because hatmakers
were frequently poisoned through years of exposure
to mercury, which was used to process felt. Mercury
poisoning can cause memory loss, insomnia,
depression, delirium, and hallucinations.
Why is the ocean salty?
Ever wonder where all the salt in the ocean comes from?
One theory is that the salt comes largely from rocks - both
the rocks that lie on the ocean floor AND all other rocks.
The ocean catches everything that pours into rivers.
Salt and other minerals found in rocks are dissolved
into rainwater and melting snow off mountaintops. From
there the salt journeys downstream, eventually ending
up in the oceans. Salt lakes - like the Great Salt Lake in
Utah and the Dead Sea - are usually bits of oceans that
have been cut off over millions of years and have
nowhere for the salts to escape.

At Least He Tried!
by Ken Darby
While attending a marriage seminar on communication,
Rick and his wife Cherie listened to the instructor declare,
"It is essential that husbands and wives know the things
that are important to each other."
He addressed the man, "Can you describe your wife's
favorite flower?"
Rick leaned over, touched Cherie's arm gently and
whispered, "Pillsbury All-Purpose, isn't it?"
Well, at least he was trying. I'm not so sure I wouldn't
have said the same.
Yet, I bet Rick knew the instructor was speaking about a
flower and not flour.
I know it is just a joke, yet, like all jokes it contains whisps
of truth we should look at.
The joke points out that we should maintain a genuine
interest in those with whom we deal. Yes it says those
closest to us, but why just those?
Our growth and development in any income producing
venture is markedly advanced in direct proportion to the
amount we are genuinely interested in those with whom
we deal, so there is a measurable financial
advantage too.
Besides the finances there is the popularity side of the
equation where we are always popular in direct
proportion to how we care about others.
So what I am saying is clearly something that offers us
rewards, from many sides. The joke is making the point
of being sincerely caring about those who are close. I
am saying spread that caring around.
One thing you might want to consider, though, is the
matter of self discipline. While it usually takes hardly
any time to stop and help, there will be many demands
on the time of those who care about others. Learn what
is important and what is not.
For example you will find those coming to you for things
they should be doing themselves. Teach them how to do
that task and you will not be bothered with it again. Do
the task and they will always be on your case.
I dare say nothing in life will bring you the rewards, the
popularity and the growth and development you want,
so much as the genuine interest in others. People crave
attention and acceptance. Give it to them.

COMPUTER TIPS - - -
-------------------------
Word 2000
Here's what you do to resize,a image.
To scale an image in your Word document, you must first select
it. When you click on an image, Word selects the image and
displays sizing handles. To scale a graphic with the mouse, you
drag one of the handles until the image reaches the desired size.
Dragging a handle on either center side resizes the width of the
image; the top or bottom center side resizes the height of the
image. Dragging any of the corner handles resizes both the width
and height of the image.

Drug Interactions Or Side Effects:
Not To Be Taken Lightly Or
Ignored Altogether
PART 1 of 3
This past weekend I spent hours doing research on drug
interactions for a lovely young lady of 73! She was on two
medications for one of her conditions and three for another.
Then she was also on something to help her prevent bone density
loss. Our concern for her was the possible side effects and
interactions. Initially she went to her doctor to get some help
with her dizziness. Eventually she wasn't much better. In fact
she thought she was worse off than before.
I started my usual search in Medline http://medlineplus.gov/
I added the drug name and quickly moved to the next stage.
I always go to the "Medical Encyclopedia" section. It's the easiest
to understand. My first mistake was to do the search for the one
drug I wasn't familiar with. I thought I knew the others fairly well
and felt I could think the "connections" through without doing
much more searching. However what I found with the first search
really concerned me. Consequently, I did very careful searches
for all the others. Here's why I know it was a "mistake".
If I had checked the other drugs first, I would have concluded
this one would be fine. But having done the unknown one first,
and finding it to be labeled something along the lines of being
the corrective measure for such drug overdoses, I now really
read every word very carefully. I would have been lulled into a
false sense of security and totally missed the cautionary note.
Not good. Good lesson for me to learn.
I found some disturbing results. I am not a pharmacist and I
don't choose to be one. But I am having some difficulty knowing
who to send people to for this kind of professional support
or interpretation. The problem may lie in the fact that clinics
are often the main health providers. You frequently don't get
the same doctor or nurse clinician.

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.
Upon their safe return there was a million dollars
waiting in their bank account for them. If one did not
make it that money would go to the survivor. If neither
made it the money would go to their families.
The story deals with their adventures along the way
and leads into the only way they could survive. That was
for Eloise to learn higher law and commit her life to
that end. Along the way she learns how to perform
many a miracle.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places. As you read on, enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

Then there was another figure beside them.
"Hello Riata! I'm glad you could come. Look who just
arrived." said Mazunta.
"Hello Amenti. I am glad you are here. It is good you
trusted yourself far enough to make the journey. These
people are my friends. I have known them for quite a while.
It is Missy, here, who taught me what you just learned this
day. They called you to keep you moving forward. I am
glad you came." said Riata.
Amenti was surprised. Then, when he thought about it he
was not. Certainly these people can do these things. So
can he. And his mind was beginning to open up to the vast
storehouse of information, knowledge and power that
was now his. His confidence was growing in leaps
and bounds.
Riata went over and hugged Eloise. "Where is that terrific
baby I've been hearing about? Oomano says she's pretty
and the spitting image of you. Congratulations, by the way."
"She's inside the hut, sleeping. Come." responded Eloise.
The two ladies went into the hut to see the baby.
The men stayed outside. "Come, Amenti. Let's go for
a walk. I want you to meet others in our village who are
masters." said Mazunta.
"There are more here? Besides you and Missy, I
mean?" said Amenti, again in surprise.
"Yes. There are two more. The man who taught me,
and my good friend, is called Boolanga. Then there is
the gentleman who first came down to this country with
Eloise many years ago, now. He took a long time to
learn because he did not trust." replied Mazunta, as
they were coming up to Boolanga's hut.
"Hello Karmuz. Is Boolanga around?" asked Mazunta.
"He is down by the river with the kids." she answered.
"I want him to meet Amenti. We'll walk down there,
thank you." he replied.
The pair of them walked toward the river.
Along the way they met up with David, at his work site.
He and his friends were hard at work on a life sized
carving. It was the idea Mazunta gave David a while
ago. David, of course, did not need to work so hard at
it, but he wanted to and he enjoyed working with the
village carvers. Everyday they made enough chips to
last the nightly fire quite a while.
"Hello David. I want you to meet Amenti. He is from the
orphanage Riata set up. Amenti just, this day, crossed
over the veil. He now lives by higher law." said Mazunta.
"I see that. Welcome Amenti and welcome to our village.
It is good to have you join our ranks. You will enjoy it
very much. Welcome." said David, holding out his hand
for a handshake.
Amenti took the outstretched hand and shook it. "What
are you doing here?" Amenti asked.
"The village trades carvings for staple goods they like to
get at the trading village down river. We make several
trips a year for cloth and other things. Most of the
carvings are small trinkets. Mazunta gave us the idea
of working on life sized carvings to see how they would
sell. There was a great deal of interest in our canoes,
down there, at the river. That's what gave Mazunta the
idea." answered David.
"Why don't you just materialize them? You know
how." said Amenti.
"Yes, Amenti, I do. Yet that would take the pleasure out
of the task as well as the joy of working with the men.
This is as much a pleasure as it is work, Amenti." he
answered.
"I think I understand that." Amenti said.
"Go have a look at the canoes and I think you will see
why Mazunta thought it was a good idea. These canoes
make this village known all up and down the
river." said David.
"He is being modest Amenti. It is David who carved the
canoes. He is very talented, even without living by higher
law. Mr. David is Eloise's friend from the United States.
They each loved it down here and decided to live here in
the village with us. Mr. David even brought his wife and
his Mother." said Mazunta.
They said goodbye to David and sauntered down the
beach. There they stopped and looked at the canoes,
before going on to see Boolanga.

become interested in following what we are doing in our
business.
It is a way of seeing some of the good things and not so good
things that happen to us along the way.
While it may not replicate your story, neither may it be replicated
by you, it does keep you updated on some of the trials and
tribulations of doing business on the internet.
We thought we would keep it up.

TODAY'S REPORT:
I purchased a color printer a while back and it decided it
wanted to quit working right. I have been without now, for
quite some time. Today I got fed up and took it back to my
supplier who promptly exchanged it for me. I appreciate
that.
That means I was in town today in a snowy, blizzardy, cold
and windy day. I didn't get anything done other than get
out the PEBBLE, and my weekly theNEWSSHOP NEWS.

HA! HA! HA!
A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After
it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain
made an announcement over the intercom,
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
Welcome to Flight 293, nonstop from New York to
Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and therefore
we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now,
please sit back and relax - OH MY GOD!"
Silence.
Then, the captain came back on the intercom and said,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you
earlier, but while I was talking, the flight-attendant
brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee
in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"
A passenger in Coach piped up, "That's nothing...
You should see the back of mine!"
