How to Stop Junk E-Mail and Other Annoyances

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. Be sure you read the
very last paragraph.

By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with snopes.com and/or truthorfiction.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 own profitable 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 or 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.

Happiness is Noticing How Life Happens in Cycles

Life seems to flow in cycles. When you pay attention to what has been you can get a good idea of what will come. That way the Universe will not have to hit you over the head with a 2 x 4 to make you take notice!

More than twenty years ago I deepened my study of how we create our reality. At the time I was into psychology. I discovered the link between how the mind works and how energy works.

When a friend ran energy on me following a near collapse at her house, I learned that something I could not see impacted my well being – not in a day or a week but in minutes.

Wow! What was that?

I did not understand anything about Reiki, as she called it. I just knew something energetic happened. I had long known and felt energy pour out of my hand as I healed my dancing daughter’s many injuries during her teen years.

You do not have to understand something to use it. I have no idea how electricity works. I just flip the switch and the room lights up!

Thankfully the Universe gave me an awareness of the Universal Laws long before I needed to draw upon them to recover from a life-changing brain injury.

Since I knew about energy work, after the brain injury I welcomed every offer of someone teaching me and working on me. Good thing too because that is how I healed – energetically.

As I myself became an educated healer I started strictly with energy psychology and acupressure tapping along with multiple kinesiology modalities that grew form Touch for Health.

So I moved from theory to actual energy work to the detailed work of specialized kinesiology. Each step on my journey allowed me work with more and more people with deeper and deeper issues.

I recently realized my specialty limits me to working on people who can physically get to me whereas when I did energy work I could easily do that long distance.

Only now I awakened to the fact that I can do what I do with anyone anywhere on the planet. With the internet I can communicate around the globe and guide someone to take steps to eliminate many of the blocks that formerly could only be cleared in person.

I also realize I can use a surrogate, here in my healing studio, to do work for someone on the other side of the planet.

When you realize that everything and everyone is energy all the possibilities open up so you can see what you want to see.

Law Of Attraction: Ask And Ye Shall Receive

You really do get what you ask for – always. The thing is most people do not realize they make requests unconsciously every day and reinforce those requests while the conscious requests go by the way side.

The result? People constantly receive what they do not want.

When you put out a request you want to follow guidelines – far too many to go into here and now. The bottom line is ask for what you want rather than what you don’t want. When you stop resisting you will stop attracting what you focus on with your resistance.

You may have read my story about the mouse in my house dilemma. I felt just sick at the thought of killing it. We have become sort of friends. Sounds ludicrous – I know. We played hide and seek the other night.

Well, I am not going to re-tell that story. What I will tell you is I did buy the poison my friend recommended and it bothered me something awful to put it out. But a mouse in my kitchen, in my bedroom closet in my clothes leaving droppings…NO WAY acceptable.

When I heard the mouse cry and thrash about I feared the poison was slow acting and the animal was suffering. Killing a creature is bad enough. Making it suffer does not work for me.

So I changed my whole line of thinking about the situation.

I actually sent love to the mice (I am pretty sure there is more than one.) Yeah. I know that sounds really goofy. But think about this – the mouse is a Divine Being just as you and I are Divine Beings. It was created by the same Life Force that created us.

I believe, no, I know, that love is the solution to every problem. Sometimes I lose sight of that Truth—as happened here with the mice. So when I started sending it love and messages that I would help it leave my house suddenly I no longer saw or heard it.

Maybe I just did a super job of trapping it in my kitchen under the stove and it cannot get out. I don’t know. I just know I did not have to watch that little gray fur ball with those big black eyes run around my room last night.

The best part is, when I was in the store today the Universe sent me down an aisle where I found (Are you ready for this?) a humane mousetrap. I can put peanut butter inside to lure it in. When the trap door shuts the mouse does not get hurt. I get to take it to a field far from my house and let it go.

I don’t need to kill it. I don’t need to touch it. I don’t need to fear it touching me.

Talk about getting what you ask for…

NOW I feel relieved and at peace with myself. Tonight the trap goes up and I will see what happens.

Stress: End It By Allowing the Message In

The Universe (God, Creator) presents situations for you to grow. When you fail to allow the learning in the messages get louder and in your face in ever more painful ways.

When I moved to the country I had no clue how many pests could possibly exist in one yard. Seriously.

I spend hours removing all kinds of pests from my house and even from my yard. While I used to think it was not fair to remove them from my yard I re-thought that matter when I discovered they not only get in my front door I cannot even walk in my front yard. It is that dense with flies!

You see there is a cherry plum tree out front. And I live only half a mile from a dairy. With hat combination you might imagine I have a fly problem. I am talking thousands of flies. And some of them are the biggest flies I ever saw!

I find that animals (people too) grow bigger out here in the Northwest. I guess you have to be a hardy variety to live in desert winters and service desert summers.

Well I started wondering why so very many pests chose to live in my yard and my house. I am talking six legged, four legged and eight legged pests –above ground and underground pests, in the tree and under the rock pests!

In fact I just spoke with a pest control company about their services. He listed the entire gamut of species they eliminate. It was long list. And my house boasts every single creature on that list!

Hmm. I understand my neighbors have the same experience. So we all have something in common in why we moved here to discover about ourselves. Though I don’t mention that kind of thinking with my neighbors. I don’t want them to think I am weird, you know.

My first pest experience happened even before I moved in – spiders of all sizes and colors. Some very poisonous spiders and some garden variety. The thing is – they were inside my house.

I asked all non-human creatures to leave my house. And I did not see any spiders for many months and then…

Over a period of a few weeks spiders bit me nine times. My fingers were swollen and numb for eight months and I know the poison went into my bloodstream impacting my health.

One of my friends told me that spiders are messengers. I am still waiting to receive the message. I guess I need to get out of my own way to allow myself to see that solution.

What I know is no problem ever comes without a solution. So if spiders were biting me then I needed to do something about it that would allow me heal and, more importantly, stop the attacks (which always happened while I slept!).

Unfortunately I have not uncovered what I need to know. When I work at night I sit by French doors with my office light on) insects the size of my fist bang up against my door. They are too big to be moths. The huge ones are downright scary looking!

Hmm. A bird attacked my window a few weeks ago. I mean it was banging its wings furiously against my window, very intentionally against my window.

I guess it is time to meditate and get some guidance so I can allow in the messages I need to know. It took me long enough to figure that out, huh?

When we fail to hear the whispers of the Universe it presents the issue repeatedly. Each time it puts that issue/lesson in our face it gets bigger and more painful so eventually we have to notice what is happening.
