Unsubscribe instructions are at the end of this newsletter. We value our subscribers and respect your right to privacy; therefore, our subscriber list is not made available to anyone. It is great having all of you join me today. I want to thank eveyone that joined our forums yesterday! You helped me get over the 800 mark.

Plus you will be the first to see all the latest freebies and contests as they are posted. I wanted to share an e-mail that I received yesterday regarding porn that is being downloaded when you think you are downloading an innocent file. I really can't explain it in detail so this is why I am posting the entire e-mail. I want to say thanks for sending me this and making me more aware of the problem. I myself do not download anything from any sites except an occasional screensaver or game and then I am very careful when I do. Plus I run my antivirus program constantly. Dear Sheri, Please make your subscribers aware of a very bad problem with pop-up- porn that they unwittingly authorize when they agree to certain conditions that some "free" download programs use to promote their affiliate porn sites. We have NO idea how this happened, but one of the "free" downloads we put on our computer had a pop-up porn program that was downloaded at the same time as the "free" program was download. My family and I are now battling with our web provider to have this problem recified. It has gotten so bad and out of hand, that I have now had to put my computer off limits to my children, because a very graphic porn pop-up will appear at ANY time. Today, I finally received a reply from my web provider telling me that when I authorized a program to be installed and I agreed to the rules and conditions of the program, I also gave permission for some one to download their affiliate porn pop-ups (which was not disclosed as being porn of course) on my computer as well. There is a way to have it stopped, but it's not without cost. You have to call a certain long-distance phone number and have someone from this company walk you step-by-step through the procedures to "uninstall" this program and to put up a firewall protector so it doesn't happen again. But beware!!! ONE wrong click and you can destroy your computer!!! Please.... make your subscribers aware of this unasked for invasion to their privacy. Thank you, Robyn Once again Robyn I want to thank you for alerting us to this terrible problem. I have small children and it would be terrible for them to open up the internet and have something like that staring them in the face. If anyone else has come across anything like this please send me the info and I will be sure to alert our readers about it. I have a very special birthday to announce today!! Carol's 3 yr.

Today was a great day when the mailman finally arrived. I got a full size product of Neutrogena bronzing instant tanning lotion, the heala sample and several magazines. Let's keep the mailman busy! *************************************************************************************************** Today's Funny Ah yes, those were the days Thanks Anne for sending me this! According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because...... Our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans. When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip flops and fluorescent 'clackers' on our wheels. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the front passenger seat was a treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle - tasted the same. We ate dripping sandwiches, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no one actually died from this. We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us all day and no one minded. We did not have Playstations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet chat rooms. We had friends we went outside and found them. We played elastics and street rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt. We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits.They were accidents. We learnt not to do the same thing again. We had fights, punched each other hard and got black and blue - we learned to get over it. We walked to friend's homes. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate live stuff, and although we were told it would happen, we did not have very many eyes out, nor did the live stuff live inside us forever. We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood. Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law. Imagine that! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're one of them. Congratulations! Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow up as real kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good. (If you aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about us anyway). Boy it feels good to remember those days!! *************************************************************************************************** Due to AOL's new email policy they only allow 3 AOL links per email...You may contact AOL and complain about this policy and hopefully they will change it until then you might want to get a Yahoo or Hotmail account and subscribe from there.
