ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -

Why do swarming insects usually not bite?
That's not what they're swarming for. Most swarms (of
mosquitoes, gnats, etc.) are made up of male insects
waiting around for females to mate with.
What was the inspiration for the classic novel
"Frankenstein"?
Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, was written as part of a
contest between four friends. Mary was holidaying in
Switzerland with her husband Percy Shelley, George Byron
(two poets), and John William Polidori. To pass the time,
they decided each would write a ghost story.
Eighteen-year-old Mary was the only one who finished hers.
Incidentally, the monster in "Frankenstein," is NOT called
Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein is the name of the
scientist who created him.

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.
Please note you can read thePEBBLE anytime you wish

Thank you for your very loyal support.

The Art Of Questioning
Yourself Well
by Rhoberta Shaler, PhD
Have you ever heard someone say, "I'll just have to accept my
fate"? I'll bet you have. Did you find it an empowering thing
to hear? Of course, there are several possible interpretations
of the remark. It could mean that the person believes they
have done everything in their power to bring about the outcome
they desire. Then they are willing to accept their fate. On
the other extreme, it could mean, "I have no control at all.
I'll have to take what life hands out to me." It is the latter
that saddens me. How about you?
We all ask ourselves a lot of questions, don't we? What is the
quality of the questions you ask yourself? Do you say things
like, "Why me? Why does this always happen to me?" or "Why
did she say that?" or "What did I do wrong?" These are not
high quality questions.
High-quality questions move you forward immediately. They
focus on positive direction and indicate an understanding of
what's possible. Here are a few: "How can I turn this around?"
or "How can I make it work?" "How can I utilize this?" or "How
can I use this to empower myself and others?" The answers to
these questions increase your personal power and your power to
change the world around you.
The quality of your life can relate directly to the quality of
the questions you ask yourself. Albert Einstein said, "The
important thing is to not stop questioning." What kind of
questions do you wrestle with? There are many ways to ask the
question, "What now?", aren't there? It can be very positive
and possibility oriented, or, it can be negative, anticipating
another problem. It is often not just the words you choose but
the intention behind them. Be careful. This will take some
practice for those of you who know that your questioning could
use a quality adjustment!
Keep a small book handy and make a note of the typical
questions you ask yourself during the day. Do they move you
forward or do they reinforce your sense of powerlessness? When
a question shows up in your head, deliberately re-state it as
a high-quality question. This habit will change your view of
life quickly.

What If…You Really Believed You
Could Feel Well Again?
PART 2 of 10
So why wouldn't everyone jump at the chance to get better?
I now understand! Thomas L. Pauley and Penelope J. Pauley
wrote a marvelous book called "I'm Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams.
I am. I am. I am." (Available on-line for a limited time only) at
http://www.richdreams.com In his bonus for the ebook, the
authors talk about an Amish farmer who Tom met years ago. I am
very grateful that he has given me permission to reprint this
part of the chapter. They write: "I remember quite vividly an
Amish Farmer I met many years ago. His beard, white shirt
and plain black suit and hat left a striking image. He was
giving a talk to a group of multi-level soap distributors. He
was extolling the virtues of a bio-degradable household
cleaner that doubled as fertilizer. It was actually a surfactant
that broke down water tension for cleaning purposes and it
was that same property that broke down minerals in the soil
making them more easily absorbed by plant life. Great product.
We still use it. The Amish farmer told how he discovered the
benefits of using this product. His wife used it for washing
dishes, then threw the dirty water on the roses by the back
door. Those roses grew twice as big as the others. Shortly
thereafter he heard this amazing hand cleaner/surfactant
would do the same for his corn. That same year the oil
companies decided to withhold crude oil from the American
market, so they could raise the price of oil. They parked
tanker after tanker just offshore cutting the supply until
they had a good reason to raise the prices through the roof.

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 . . . . . . .

Within 30 minutes of that interview on TV the
Henry's doorbell rang. Everyone looked at one
another, knowing exactly what was happening.
Sam answered the door. There was Ted Kuzik,
microphone in hand "Mr. Henry. May I ask you a few
questions about what you did at the fire
downtown?" Then he shoved the microphone into
Sam's face.
Sam said nothing. He quietly reached for the
microphone and turned it off. He placed it on the
step and took Ted Kuzik's arm, bringing him inside
and closed the door.
Outside there were six or seven television
station's people. They had all mounted their
cameras on tripods and all their news people were
standing at the step with microphones in hand. The
moment Sam opened the door they were all there,
full of questions.
Sam had Ted Kuzik in the house and Sam was
boiling on the inside. "You don't seem to have
learned your lesson the first time did you? You
know my stance on publicity. There will be none.
Here is the deal. You and your cronies take your
cameras, vehicles, microphones and all recording
devices three blocks away. You news people only,
without any devices other than note books can come
back in here and we will give you an interview,
all of you at once. However, if even one of you
cheats, or tries to sneak in a recorder, I will
erase all the video and recording tapes you have
on you, in your vehicles and in your cameras. Do
you understand?" Sam's voice was so full of
authority it shook Kuzik.
"Y...yes, But Mr. Henry this is my job. I'm a
news man and I am supposed to report what I find."
"Yes it is your job and you tackle it
zealously. However you do so dishonorably, with no
thought whatever for those you interview. You are
singularly the most selfish man I have ever met
and you care not for anyone but you. Take your
choice. You will do things my way or not at all.
What will it be?"
"Oh! All right." Ted Kuzik slumped out the
door like a pup with his tail between his legs.
Sam went to the telephone and phoned Darryl
Sparks, telling him what was happening. He invited
Darryl and one photographer over to the house and
said he would wait until Darryl arrived before any
interview began.
One look out the front window told them the
news media were moving away. Sam suspected Ted
told them the terms.
In ten minutes the doorbell rang again. There
was Ted Kuzik, alone, with note paper and pencil
in hand.
"Where are all the others?" Sam asked.
"They didn't like the terms you imposed so
they left."
Something about that statement didn't ring
true to Sam. News people will always accept an
interview. Sam was suspicious. "You stand right
there and don't move. I'll be back out in a
minute." Sam closed the door leaving Kuzik on the
step.
The next thing that happened was that he
communicated these affairs to Ben Striker. Ben
knew instantly what Sam wanted. Ben vanished.
He went to reach all the other TV crews. He
asked them all if they wanted an interview under
the conditions Sam had laid out. Each responded
affirmatively. Then Ben asked each if Ted Kuzik
had informed them of the interview conditions.
Every single one replied "No."
Ben invited all of them back to the house,
then disappeared. When Ben got back to the house
he informed Sam of what he found. "I thought so"
Sam replied.
Ben had informed the news people to leave
their vehicles three blocks away and that no
recording devices were allowed.
Soon there were seven people on the front
step. As soon as Darryl Sparks drove up Sam went
out on the front step. The news folks were full of
questions.
"There will be no interview here on the step.
Please, come in."
Sam let them all in the house. Darryl was the
only one who was permitted a photographer.
"Ted, would you come here a minute, please?"
Sam had asked Ted Kuzik out onto the front
step. "You did not inform these news people of the
terms I told you about. You told them we would
give no interview. You wanted to get this
interview exclusive to you and you lied to them.
You are not invited into the house. You can leave
now. We will have nothing to do with you. You
cannot play by the rules so you are not allowed in
the game."

OBSERVATIONS OF OUR BUSINESS
Since beginning the Project 2003 item, many of you have
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.

HA! HA! HA!
I sell new and used computers for a living. At an
exhibit and sale, I decided to give away an old
13-inch monitor that I had lying around.
My neighbor came by and said, "You're
giving this away? I'll take it!" Then she noticed a
15-inch monitor at the end of my table.
"How much for that one?" She asked.
I told her it was $75. She looked down at her free
monitor, thought for a moment and asked,
"Do you take trade-ins?"
