Been thinking that since day 1!

Was about to put on my hip boots but, I think I need my chest waders!!!

E-Mail Tracker Programs -- very interesting and an important read! The man that sent this information is a computer tech. He spends a lot of time clearing the junk off computers for people and listens to complaints about speed. All forwards are not bad, just some. _________________________________________ He wrote: By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with snopes.com and/ortruthorfiction.com for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites. Advice from snopes.com VERY IMPORTANT!! 1) Any time you see an email that says "forward this on to '10' (or however many) of your friends", "sign this petition", or "you'll get bad luck" or "you'll get good luck" or "you'll see something funny on your screen after you send it" or whatever --- it almost always has an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' email addresses to use in SPAM emails or sell to other spammers. Even when you get emails that demand you send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus --- that is email tracking, and they are playing on our conscience. These people don't care how they get your email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease "how would you feel if that was your child" --- email tracking. Ignore them and don't participate! 2) Almost all emails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of email is, is a way to get names and 'cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers -- to validate active email accounts for their ownprofitable purposes. You can do your Friends and Family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them. You will be providing a service to your friends. And you will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam emails in the future! Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listing regardless how inviting they might sound! Or make you feel guilty if you don't! It's all about getting email addresses and nothing more. You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's not make it easy for them! ALSO: Email petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress of any other organization - i.e. social security, etc. To be acceptable, petitions must have a "signed signature" and full address of the person signing the petition, so this is a waste of time and you are just helping the email trackers. Tips for Handling Telemarketers Three Little Words That Work!! (1)The three little words are: 'Hold On, Please...' Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt. Then when you eventually hear the phone company's 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task. These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.. (2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end? This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone. This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a 'real' sales person to call back and get someone at home. What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialed the call, and it kicks your number out of their system.. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!!! (3) Junk Mail Help: When you get 'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these 'ads' with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away. When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more than the regular 44 cents postage, 'IF' and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents before the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes. One of Andy Rooney 's (60 minutes) ideas. Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their blank application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them 44 cents. The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it...Twice! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again. You get the idea! If enough people follow these tips, it will work I have been doing this for years, and I get very little junk mail anymore. THIS JUST MIGHT BE ONE E-MAIL THAT YOU WILL WANT TO FORWARD TO YOUR FRIENDS

Thanks for the post. I will definitely pass this on!!! +1 (I also gave myself a +1 accidentally)

Your'e close, it's "Real"

I think I figured out what it said. Ask me tomorrow if you want to!

Pimp it man. Nice Shelby!!!

This is for all the "Pumpers" & so called "intel" Not from DV but brought over from other sites. "Your'e short on ears & long on mouth" end of quote

I knew my tie should have been camouflaged! damn

The latter!!!

OK, Right now you are at your "boiling" point. Take a deep breath, in thru your nose, out thru your mouth. Do it a few times.(I'm not trying to be a smart xxxx). I understand where you are at, but, can you imagine how things would get out of control! Pretty soon there would be name calling.Then a rebuttal. Then what, more name calling? Maybe ,maybe not. More likely yes. Next comes threats. That has to be avoided! It can NOT come to that, period. That is why there are Mods here, at their own discretion, which they have a right to, to keep everything in order. They all do a great job! (of which I would not want). Nobody is perfect , not me, not you, not anyone! This is one heck of a rough ride for everyone. We all have to chill!

Guess what my middle name is?

My word of the day is "legs". (Help spread the word). what's yours?

There may be no I in team, but, there sure is an F in sex!

Are you asking yourself or someone here? I don't know how, but would sure like to. Does anybody know?

Stupid is as stupid does!

A politician, of course!!!

Lets just hope it happens before cows can fly!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A SHORT LOVE STORY A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower. At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,.......... 'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.' 'I have a better idea,' she replied 'Just for tonight ... let's pretend that we're married.' 'Wow!...................... That's a great idea!', he exclaimed. 'Good,' she replied. .............'Get your own f--king blanket.' After a moment of silence, ......................he farted. The End

I did? Where did I say that?

I was responding to an earlier post, which has been clarified. Yes, this does make Our Country look foolish! President Obama should step up to the plate & put an end to this issue once & for all!

Had me going a little.Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure Roadrunner will see it!

You know that Obama hates Our country, The United States, & The Amarican people. Yet it doesn't matter to you? Do you realize Obama's presidental term is by no means over!!! Sorry, I don't get your statement.

Our President, Commander in Chief , Obama. HE is the one that should step up & put this all to rest, period. (I could say a lot more about it, but will just leave it at that).

I keep trying to think, but nothing happens!
