emotional truth -- lisa libretti, 19:05:36 09/18/04 Sat

It’s beyond love beyond addiction, even beyond the insanity of obsession, it has become about survival. When someone asks have you ever been in love you might answer yes believing in your heart that you actually have. Maybe you at times weren’t able to eat or sleep, and maybe you even suffered this for a length of time. But I doubt there are many people in this world who truly know the depths and ability of true human emotion. Fortunately or unfortunately I have experienced feelings beyond words, and because of what I do know to be true I dare not speak about what else is possible or impossible. Picture this one day your walking along and life is as normal as normal can be and a bus comes along knocking you to the street for most people it is an ordinary accident and you live your hurt but you live, but in this case when the bus hits you it knocks you on to train tracks and an oncoming train can’t miss so you are run over a second time, yet miraculously after a few months in a hospital you can bring yourself to a standing position, then the hospital catches fire you suffer smoke inhalation and 3rd degree burns allover your immobile body, they air lift you to a burn unit in another hospital but the chopper crashes on the way, oh no your not dead that would be too easy see there is a lesson here for you to learn, don’t know what that is oh well just assume it’s part of a master plan for you to learn something. Along comes a doctor , he has bandages , pain killers, morphine and everything else necessary to take away the pain, but his bag is locked and he can’t manage to find the key or to rip it open. He is helpless. All you can do is look at him with plea in your eyes wishing for him to help, but all he can do is comfort you until the ambulance gets there. What do you do you feel sorry for him feeling so helpless. Oh did I mention there is much irony to this. So the ambulance finally arrives with oxygen (cause god forbid you suffocate and die) and they have extra strength Tylenol for the pain, when all you want is anesthesia until your completely healed but all of the anesthesiologists are on strike. New hospital months pass wounds are healing fine just a few minor scars after 85 surgeries and 86 infections. Your ok . So you think.
A man comes waltzing into your heart when you least expect it, turns your heart inside out, loves you like no one else ever has and you return his intense passion. He speaks the words of angels and you are all ears. His actions move human hearts and you long to have his. His voice, and unsung melody straight into your core, his hair his eyes his smile capture your very essence and they give you wings to fly. But you only want to fly to him. He is magic and music, he is air and water, he is a loving embrace of all that is beautiful and he adores you. I know this man. I have adored this man and he has shown me the beauty of his soul. How much would you wish for this in your life. Be careful what you wish for. There is no cure from him and I am still trying to survive him. He is not mine, he attached himself through matrimony to another heart long before he knew mine. So I dare not touch him. I have not shared daybreak or moonlight with him, We have not shared his bed or our flesh. We have only shared our souls.. Sharing your soul is the most pure form of love. And in it’s purest form like any other drug can render you helpless or worse instill death. Not death in the sense of leaving the earth, but in the sense that once your soul knows another it is lost without it, the fire inside goes out and is only rekindled in the others presence. Separate you are nothing, hopeless helpless, alone, lonely even amongst a crowd. But joined there is renewed life, glory and endless capability. Is this what Almitra meant when he said “ love has but one desire and that is to fulfill itself.” If it finds you worthy and beckons to you , you must follow it. For if you back out of loves thrashing floor you will laugh but not all of your laughter and cry but not all of your tears. If you do follow him then you shall know the pain of too much tenderness. Remember the time you were hit by the bus and the train caught in the fire and the chopper crashed, You beg for that simpler time when you know another soul and you cannot touch it or love it or share yours with it. Your are not but in your dreams where it is that you can only be together. you go through your life but you do not live, at times your heart cries out to so loud you can barely hear anything else, and when you take a breath it is never as deep as it needs to be. The worst of all of this emotion is that it is shared by both souls simultaneously with no end in sight. So now I ask you have you ever been in love? I dare you to love another as I have and as I do now. Will you survive?

"Help Wanted" a story -- Paul Everett, 11:53:11 07/22/04 Thu

An extremely well-dressed and successful young executive was driving to a meeting when he found that the front left tire on his Lexus was flat.

“What am I going to do?” he thought. But then he saw a gas station up ahead. It was a rundown shack with a grizzled man in overalls sitting on a porch with pools of oil, but at least it was a gas station; in the window was a large sign saying “help wanted”. The executive drove up and got out of the car and explained the situation.

“Why sure!” said the attendant “I’m lookin’ for a boy to work for me and help me out, so we’re kinda short-handed…”. He looked over the dapper, dignified and impeccably dressed executive’s very expensive navy blue pinstriped business suit, his imported silk tie and gleaming cufflinks and white shirt, his polished black shoes, his hundred dollar haircut and his $1500 briefcase.

“You must be one of them executives!” said the attendant. “My name is Bud!”

“Yes…yes I am an executive” said the executive in a condescending tone, as he straightened his tie and checked the shine on his shoes. “My name is Mr. James Porter…I am making an important presentation today! My whole career depends on it. Now please get to work! What are you doing?!”

Bud was pulling out a huge pail of water. “You get a free car wash today, sir!”

“I don’t have time for that!” cried Mr. Porter.

“Now, don’t worry! You upper class folks are always worryin’!” And at that moment, Bud’s foot hit the pail of water, and it toppled over, completely soaking Mr. Porter’s expensively shod feet.

“NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!” yelled Mr. Porter. “My feet are drenched through! Do you know how much these shoes cost! Someone like YOU doesn’t have to worry about this!”

“Oh, sir! Please accept my apology! All over your nice fancy shoes! Well, it’s a fine day…just take off yer shoes and socks and let ‘em dry! Nobody is gonna see ya!”

“Take off my shoes and socks! I suppose I have no choice! I’m just glad that my colleagues can’t see this!” said Mr. Porter, as he sat on the porch and slowly, grudgingly slid his feet out of his highly polished black tasseled shoes and then took off his silk socks. Bud picked up the shoes and whistled with admiration.

“Mighty fancy!” he said, with a grin. “Classy kicks!”

“Put my shoes down immediately!” said Mr. Porter coldly.

Mr. Porter carefully arranged his suit and tie as if to make up for the indignity of going barefoot.

“Lemme show ya somethin’, Mister Porter” said Bud, who got into the car and drove it forward – and ran over Mr. Porter’s briefcase, ruining it.

“MY BRIEFCASE!” yelled the businessman.

“Sorry, sir! But I have to tell ya something!” said Bud, who was bending over the engine.

“I didn’t ask you to look at the engine” shouted Mr. Porter. “You destroyed my briefcase!!”

“But you got a problem!” said Bud. “Look! Get closer!”

Mr. Porter leaned over the engine. “I don’t see anything…”

“Closer!” said Bud.

“I still don’t…” and Mr. Porter began to lift his head, and felt himself stuck.

“My tie!” he yelled. “My necktie…and my suspenders! They’re caught in the engine!”

“Look what ya done, sir! I’ll get ya free!”

“I DIDN’T DO THIS!” yelled Mr. Porter, but he couldn’t move at all. His tie and his suspenders had gotten tied up in the engine….somehow.

“Now just hold still!” said Bud, and with three quick snips, Mr. Porter was free, and his tie and suspenders had been sliced in pieces.

“ARE YOU INSANE?!” yelled Mr. Porter. “You’ll pay for those!! How will I go to work like this…”

“Sir, I had to cut ya loose! There was no other way!” Bud said.

“Mr. Porter” said Bud. “I’m gonna need yer help in getting’ that tire out of the back…I can’t lift it, ya see. I got lumbago.”

“What?!” said Mr. Porter. “You expect ME to do it? Look at this suit! This is a two thousand dollar suit! It was tailored for me…I can’t get it dirty, and this tie is hundred dollar shirt! I’m an executive…I don’t do menial work…”

“I’m sorry, sir…” said Bud. “There’s no other way! Why don’t ya take off yer suit jacket?”

“This is an outrage!” cried Mr. Porter. But he angrily pulled the jacket of his pinstriped suit, his cufflinks and his starched white shirt and placed them on a wooden table. Then he pulled the tire out of the trunk.

But just then his bare feet hit a patch of oil, and he staggered backwards and fell; the filthy tire fell on top of him. He felt his head hit something soft. Bud ran over and said: “Mr. Porter, it’s a good thing your head hit the tar! It broke yer fall!” The executive pushed the tire off, and felt the grease, gravel and tar all over his t-shirt and his face. He lifted what had been a manicured hand to his head and felt a mass of something gooey.

“My hair!” he yelled.

Bud ran over with the scissors. Then he realized, to his horror, that his suit pants had been ripped all the way down the back. “MY SUIT! MY SUIT PANTS ARE RUINED!!”

“Here, lean on this and stand up!” said Bud, pointing to the wooden table. Mr. Porter reached up and grabbed the table. His suit jacket, shirt and cufflinks fell into the tar.

Mr. Porter yelled, as he stood.

“I gotta cut that tar out, sir! It ain’t gonna come out any other way!” and with a few quick snips, the executive’s neat haircut was replaced by a patchy crewcut.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” yelled Mr. Porter.

“Here, this will calm ya down!” Bud shoved a bottle of whiskey into Mr. Porter’s hand.

“NO!” yelled the executive. “LOOK AT ME, YOU IDIOT!” Just then, a car drove up. Two people, a man and a woman got out. They stared in shock at Mr. Porter; they took in the sight of him, filthy, barefoot, dressed in torn trousers, yelling and holding a whiskey bottle.

“Oh, no….” whispered Mr. Porter. “I work for them…”

Then they said together: “JAMES PORTER! YOU”RE FIRED! YOU’LL NEVER WORK IN THIS CITY AGAIN!”

“My job….” whispered Mr. Porter….

The next morning, a customer drove up to Bud’s and Bud called his new assistant to wait on him:. A man in overalls and work boots and a crew cut came out and started to work on the car. “JIMMY! Don’t forget the oil!”

“YES, SIR!” said Jimmy Porter.

A Lexus with a "for sale" sign sat outside.

A help wanted sign lay in the garbage along with the remnants of a pinstriped business suit, a silk tie and white shirt, and suspenders.

In the window was a pair of very expensive polished tasseled gentleman’s tasseled shoes with a sign: “for sale – one pair of classy kicks - once worn by an executive - best offer – socks included”.

Enter Our Contest, Win Money, and Help Bring a Face to an Important Issue -- Scott, 09:08:09 04/30/04 Fri

Community-based hospitals across the country today announced a national call for entries for its second annual “Face of Stroke” creative contest. This competition was designed to raise awareness of the third leading cause of death and encourage those affected by stroke to express the impact of this deadly, yet preventable, disease on their lives, to memorialize a loved one, or just to show support for this important cause that kills more people than breast cancer, AIDS, or diabetes.

The contest kicks off National Stroke Month and encourages people affected by stroke to create a literary work (poem, short story, etc.), artwork, photograph, song or other creative piece that depicts how stroke has personally affected them. Prizes will be awarded to the top three entries with $500 for Best in Show, $250 for second place and $100 for third place. Entries will also be posted to “The Face of Stroke” gallery on the StrokeSense Web site at www.strokesense.org. Entries can celebrate one’s survival from stroke, honor the memory of a loved one, or just support a cause to turn around the statistics from this killer. Last year’s winners were:
Best in Show
“Caregiving – A Very Big Job,” by Nancy Ruud, Fargo, N.D.
Written by a daughter after months of watching her father caring for her mother
Second Place
“Overcoming Global Aphasia,” by Joanne Koontz-Leopold, Gainesville, Fla.
Submitted after a suggestion made by the director, Arts in Medicine at
Shands Teaching Hospital.
Third Place
“Boundaries,” by Kim Hunter, Brooklyn Park, Minn.
Writing poetry is a “wonderful form of rehabilitation” for the author

“Stroke affects people from every walk of life,” said Scott Dahl, director, clinical affairs. “The Face of Stroke contest seeks to put a face of the wide range of people affected by this disease. From survivors to caregivers to families, this disease is not just devastating to the patient, but also can be devastating to the lives of those around them.”

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and claims more that 700,000 lives each year. Every 3.1 minutes a person will die of a stroke and a stroke can occur to anyone at any age. A majority of strokes can be prevented or delayed through proper management or elimination of risk factors, such as smoking and high blood pressure.

To combat this deadly, yet highly preventable disease, VHA Inc., based in Irving, Texas, announced the national launch of StrokeSense, a nationwide initiative to raise awareness of stroke and educate doctors and clinicians on best practices to continually improve clinical outcomes of stroke patients. This hospital-based program not only raises community awareness, but it is unique in that it provides clinical training to participating hospitals in VHA’s network of 2,200 not-for-profit health care organizations.

“The devastating effects of stroke take on many forms as stroke is the leading cause of long-term adult disability,” said Dahl. “This contest will allow families and stroke survivors to demonstrate how stroke has affected their lives in a creative way.”

The contest runs through National Stroke Month and to be eligible for the prizes, entries must be received by June 15, 2004. Additional submissions will be accepted on an ongoing basis and will be included in “The Face of Stroke” gallery. Entries can be entered at their local participating hospital or by sending it to VHA, 220 Las Colinas Blvd, Irving, TX 75039 or via e-mail at vhacustomerservice@vha.com. Contestants should send a cover letter with their name, phone number and signature verifying originality of the piece.

Turn $6 into $60,000 in 90 days, Does Work!!! -- croce, 20:22:53 02/20/04 Fri

I found this in a news group and decided to try it. A little while
back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now and
came across a message just like this that said you could make
thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
$6.00!!!

So I thought yeah right, this must be a scam!!! But like most of us, I
was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to
each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the message. You then
place your own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6 and
post the message in at least 200 news groups. (There are thousands to
choose from). No catch, that was it.

So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first. I
thought about trying it. I figured, what have I got to lose except 6
stamps and $6.00, right? So I invested the measly $6.00!!! Guess what?
Within 7 days I started getting money in the mail!!! I was shocked!!!
I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in!!! In
my first week, I had made about $25.00. By the end of the second week,
I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!! In the third week, I had over
$10,000.00 and it is still growing!!! This is now my fourth week and I
have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it is still coming in
rapidly!!! It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps!!! I have spent
more than that on the lottery!!!

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works!!!

Also, make sure you print a copy of this message now. So you can get
the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you
follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money
than you thought possible by doing something so easy!!!

Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully!!! (Print it out or
download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
in!!! It's easy!!! It's legal!!! Your investment is only $6.00 (plus
postage).

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off!!! It is not illegal!!! ? It is
almost entirely risk free and it really works!!! If all of the
following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary
dividends!!!

Please note: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $60,000.00 or more
can be yours in 20 to 90 days!!! This program remains successful
because of the honesty and the integrity of the participants!!! Please
continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

You will now become part of the mail order business. In this business
your product is not solid or tangible, it is a service. You are in the
business of developing mailing lists. Many large corporations are
happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from
a mailing list is secondary to the income which is made from people
like you and me asking to be included on your mailing list!!!

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:-

Step 1:- Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
each piece of paper.

PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST

Now get 6 U.S. dollar bills and place ONE inside each of the 6 pieces
of paper so the bills will not be seen through the envelopes (to
prevent mail theft). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes
and seal them, you should now have 6 sealed envelopes. Each with a
piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a
$1.00 bill.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!! YOU ARE REQUESTING A LEGITIMATE SERVICE
AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT!!!

Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about
the legal aspect of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Postal
Service and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!

Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:-

T. Perce
11505 Headley Avenue
Cleveland, Oh 44111

T. Beckers
Rijksweg 46
6267AH Cadier en Keer
The Netherlands

J. Eddolls
144 Pursey Drive
Bradley Stoke
Bristol
BS32 8DP
United Kingdom

Louis Joseph
1933 Highway 35, #104
Wall, NJ 07719-3502

S. Guitard
55 Erskine Ave #1202
Toronto, Ontario
Canada M4P-1Y7

S. Upchurch
425 Saxer Ave.
Springfield, Pa., 19064


Step 2:- Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add your name
as number 6 on the list.

Step 3:- Change anything you need to, but try to keep this message as
close to what you see as possible. Now, post your amended message to
at least 200 news groups. I think there are close to 24,000 groups!!!
All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money
you make!!! This is perfectly legal!! If you have any doubts, refer to
Title18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of
these steps for yourself and whenever you need money, you can use it
again.

Please remember that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and the integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions! Remember, if you choose to do this, you WILL
MAKE MONEY! It works, and is intended to work, by following the rules
precisely, once that fails, the whole system fails. Only choose to do
this, if you want to make money! Forget about the 6 dollars, that's
nothing compared to what you'll make. Just try for yourself.

Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will
continue and the money that so many others have received will come
your way!!!

Note: - You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
either on your computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send
you. This verifies that you are truly providing a service. Also, it
might be a good Idea to wrap the $1 bills in dark paper to reduce the
risk of mail theft.

So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a list
developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position, you will
be receiving thousands of dollars in cash!!! What an opportunity for
only $6.00!!! ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above).

Send it now, add your own name to the list and your in business!!!

Now I'm sure you see these all over the place too. GREAT, join as many
lists as you can, that brings you more money. Just remember to do the
same with each list.



DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO A NEWS GROUP!!!

Step 1:- You do not need to re-type this entire message to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this message and
drag your cursor to the bottom of this message and select copy from
the edit menu. This will copy the entire message into the computer
memory.

Step 2:- Open a blank note pad file and place your cursor at the top
of the blank page. From the edit menu select paste. This will paste a
copy of the message into notepad so that you can add your name to the
list.

Step 3:- Save your new notepad file as a txt file. If you want to do
your posting in a different setting, you'll always have this file to
go back to.

Step 4:- Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for
various news groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions, etc.)

Step 5:- Visit these message boards and post this message as a new
message by highlighting the text of this message from your notepad and
selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be
the header that everybody sees as they scroll through the list of
postings in a particular group. Click the post message button. You've
done your first one! Congratulations!!! All you have to do is jump to
different news groups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it
will take about 30 seconds for each news group!

REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!!! (But you have to post a minimum of 200).

That's it!!! You will begin receiving money from around the world
within days!!! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the
large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.

JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT!!!

Now the why part. Out of 200 postings, say you receive only 5 replies
(a very low example). So then you made $5.00 with your name at #6 on
the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who sent you $1.00 make the
minimum 200 postings, each with your name at #5 and only 5 persons
respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for you. Now
those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with your name at #4 and only 5
replies each, you will bring in an additional $125.00!!! Now, those
125 persons turn around and post the minimum 200 with your name at #3
and only receive 5 replies each, you will make an additional
$625.00!!! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons
post a minimum 200 messages with your name at #2 and they each only
receive 5 replies, that
just made you $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
message to 200 news groups. If just 5 more reply you will receive
$15,625.00!!! All with an original investment of only $6.00!!! Amazing
isn't it!!!! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take
the latest posting in the news groups and send out another $6.00 to
the names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again.

You must realize that thousands of people all over the world are
joining the internet and reading these messages every day!!! Just like
you are now!!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?
I'm glad I did!!! Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users join
every day!!!

REMEMBER PLAY HONESTLY AND FAIRLY AND THIS WILL REALLY WORK!!!

Please note: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $60,000.00 or more
can be yours in 20 to 90 days!!! This program remains successful
because of the honesty and the integrity of the participants!!! Please
continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

You will now become part of the mail order business. In this business
your product is not solid or tangible, it is a service. You are in the
business of developing mailing lists. Many large corporations are
happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from
a mailing list is secondary to the income which is made from people
like you and me asking to be included on your mailing list!!!

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:-

Step 1:- Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
each piece of paper.

PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST

Now get 6 U.S. dollar bills and place ONE inside each of the 6 pieces
of paper so the bills will not be seen through the envelopes (to
prevent mail theft). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes
and seal them, you should now have 6 sealed envelopes. Each with a
piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a
$1.00 bill.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!! YOU ARE REQUESTING A LEGITIMATE SERVICE
AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT!!!

Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about
the legal aspect of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Postal
Service and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!

Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:-

T. Beckers
Rijksweg 46
6267AH Cadier en Keer
The Netherlands

J. Eddolls
144 Pursey Drive
Bradley Stoke
Bristol
BS32 8DP
United Kingdom

Louis Joseph
1933 Highway 35, #104
Wall, NJ 07719-3502

S. Guitard
55 Erskine Ave #1202
Toronto, Ontario
Canada M4P-1Y7

S. Upchurch
425 Saxer Ave.
Springfield, Pa., 19064

K. McElroy
6730 Hundred acre dr.
Cocoa Fl. 32927


Step 2:- Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add your name
as number 6 on the list.

Step 3:- Change anything you need to, but try to keep this message as
close to what you see as possible. Now, post your amended message to
at least 200 news groups. I think there are close to 24,000 groups!!!
All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money
you make!!! This is perfectly legal!! If you have any doubts, refer to
Title18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of
these steps for yourself and whenever you need money, you can use it
again.

Please remember that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and the integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions! Remember, if you choose to do this, you WILL
MAKE MONEY! It works, and is intended to work, by following the rules
precisely, once that fails, the whole system fails. Only choose to do
this, if you want to make money! Forget about the 6 dollars, that's
nothing compared to what you'll make. Just try for yourself.

Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will
continue and the money that so many others have received will come
your way!!!

Note: - You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
either on your computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send
you. This verifies that you are truly providing a service. Also, it
might be a good Idea to wrap the $1 bills in dark paper to reduce the
risk of mail theft.

So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a list
developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position, you will
be receiving thousands of dollars in cash!!! What an opportunity for
only $6.00!!! ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above).

Send it now, add your own name to the list and your in business!!!

Now I'm sure you see these all over the place too. GREAT, join as many
lists as you can, that brings you more money. Just remember to do the
same with each list.



DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO A NEWS GROUP!!!

Step 1:- You do not need to re-type this entire message to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this message and
drag your cursor to the bottom of this message and select copy from
the edit menu. This will copy the entire message into the computer
memory.

Step 2:- Open a blank note pad file and place your cursor at the top
of the blank page. From the edit menu select paste. This will paste a
copy of the message into notepad so that you can add your name to the
list.

Step 3:- Save your new notepad file as a txt file. If you want to do
your posting in a different setting, you'll always have this file to
go back to.

Step 4:- Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for
various news groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions, etc.)

Step 5:- Visit these message boards and post this message as a new
message by highlighting the text of this message from your notepad and
selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be
the header that everybody sees as they scroll through the list of
postings in a particular group. Click the post message button. You've
done your first one! Congratulations!!! All you have to do is jump to
different news groups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it
will take about 30 seconds for each news group!

REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!!! (But you have to post a minimum of 200).

That's it!!! You will begin receiving money from around the world
within days!!! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the
large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.

JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT!!!

Now the why part. Out of 200 postings, say you receive only 5 replies
(a very low example). So then you made $5.00 with your name at #6 on
the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who sent you $1.00 make the
minimum 200 postings, each with your name at #5 and only 5 persons
respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for you. Now
those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with your name at #4 and only 5
replies each, you will bring in an additional $125.00!!! Now, those
125 persons turn around and post the minimum 200 with your name at #3
and only receive 5 replies each, you will make an additional
$625.00!!! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons
post a minimum 200 messages with your name at #2 and they each only
receive 5 replies, that
just made you $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
message to 200 news groups. If just 5 more reply you will receive
$15,625.00!!! All with an original investment of only $6.00!!! Amazing
isn't it!!!! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take
the latest posting in the news groups and send out another $6.00 to
the names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again.

You must realize that thousands of people all over the world are
joining the internet and reading these messages every day!!! Just like
you are now!!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?
I'm glad I did!!! Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users join
every day!!!

REMEMBER PLAY HONESTLY AND FAIRLY AND THIS WILL REALLY WORK!!!

WORK FROM HOME PART TIME AND FAST CASH.... -- L A COLE, 14:00:26 02/04/04 Wed

HOW TO MAKE QUICK CASH IN WEEKS FOR ONLY $6.00!!!!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through news groups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!! So, I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam," but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at $6.00, and post the article in at least 200 news groups. (There are thousands) No catch that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to lose; except six stamps and $6.00 right, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. WELL GUESS WHAT!!!...............Within seven days, I started getting money in the mail!! I was shocked!! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of more than $1000.00!! In the third week I had more than $10,000.00 and it's still growing!! This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of $42,000.00 and it's still coming rapidly. It’s certainly worth $6.00 and six stamps. I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works..........also make sure you print this out NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully!! (Print it out or download it) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)! IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off, it is decent; it's legal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!! If all the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow the directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become apart of the Mail Order business. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists.

BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200*** that's it!! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days!! You may eventually want to rent a PO Box due to large amounts of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent another name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. ***JUST MAKE SURE ALL ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT*** now the why part: Assume for example you get a 7.5% return, which is very conservative. 1) When you mail 200 letters, 15 people will send you $1.00 2) Those 15 mails out 200 letters, 225 people will mail you $1.00 3) Those 225 mails out 200 letters, 3,375 people will mail you $1.00 4) Those 3,375 mails out 200 letters, 50,625 people will mail you $1.00 5) Those 50,625 mails out 200 letters, 759,375 people will mail you $1.00 By now your name has dropped off the list, but so far you have received at least $759,375.00!! With an original investment of only $6.00!! AMAZING!! When your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting in the news groups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. You have to remember and realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles every day, JUST LIKE YOU right now!!! So, you can send $6.00 and see if it really works?? People have said, "What if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money?" So what!!! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest people who are joining every day and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY AND HONESTLY and this will really work. THANKS !!!!

[> THIS IS SO SIMPLE MAKE MONEY PART TIME -- jacob, 12:10:13 08/26/06 Sat

Turn $10 into $40k in a few weeks! --

Do You Need an Extra Income? Quickly and legally?

Do you have a PayPal Account? (If not, the set up takes 10-15 minutes.)

You could make up to $50,000 in one month's time with more money coming in every
month thereafter!

$50,000 in PayPal?

That's Right! $50,000 dollars in your PayPal ACCOUNT, IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH and this system is COMPLETELY LEGAL!!!

You may have heard of this program (or one like it) on 20/20 or even in the Wall
Street Journal. $10 that's all it takes. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.

To get started just copy this whole page and paste it to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 3 weeks, you will have as much as $50,000 dollars in your PayPal account or even more.

Most people respond to this program because of the low investment ($10 dollars) and the high profit potential. There is no limit to the income you can generate from this (you can do it over and over). If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people! Honesty, Faith, and Integrity make this system work.

I think everyone has heard of PayPal. Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE! If you're not already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up.

Sign-up for PayPal here www.paypal.com

It's really easy to set up and it's FREE!!! Just make sure you have a Business or Premier account or you may be subjected to a monthly income limitation which may slow this program down.

Send $5 to the first person on the list by using the paypal “send money” feature, and include in the email “Please add me to your list.” This keeps the program legal. Then send another $5 to the 5th person on the list, with an email that says, “Thank you. I’ve joined”

Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom. This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, 4th to 3rd, and the 5th place into 4th.

DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST!
If you do this the way it was designed, it will reach thousands by the time your
name gets to the top. REMEMBER TO SEND a $5.00 dollar donation to the 1st e-mail
address and the message "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST," and send an email with the words 'THANK YOU. I'VE JOINED" and the other $5.00 donation to the 5th person.
This helps the 5th person keep track of progress of the letter and continue to send out more emails. Here is the list:

1. appletongirl2001@yahoo.com
2. lebz_king_2001@yahoo.com
3. gbogdanova@yahoo.com
4. steviebay21@yahoo.com
5.jacolbysemail@yahoo.com



Make sure it's the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal
account. This is the way you will receive payment.

Now that you have paid the 1st person and 5th person and sent them both an
email, a note, and placed your e-mail address in the 5th place, then what you need to do is post your letter. You can post on craigslist.org, message boards and newsgroups (there are thousands!), and you can even send in an email to your email list. IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE 5TH PERSON ON THE LIST TO ENSURE THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 "THANK YOU. I'VE JOINED" replies. The fifth person is the guardian of the system! If there are not at least 20 replies then the fifth person will keep sending/posting the letter until there is.

MAKE SURE YOU SEND $5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER AND $5 DOLLARS TO THE FIFTH PERSON SO MORE EMAILS CONTINUE TO GO OUT!

Now the fun happens….we reap what we sow. Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars!! Seriously, it’s common sense….you do it and 25 or more people see and do the same thing…so on and so forth…everyone wins!

You will receive thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st
slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you 5 dollars! Keep in mind the most you
spent is $10 DOLLARS! (Remember this: what goes around comes around!)


*************************************************************

TESTIMONIALS:

Mary Gatters, Columbus, SC:
I only have one thing to say to you: OH MY GOD! I sent out 142 copies total
before 20 replied, like the instructions said. Then I went on a short vacation.
When I got back my account had over $32,000 dollars in it already and the money
was still coming! I'm still floating on air (especially with my new car). I
thought the guardian system sounded cheesy, but now I realize it is the formula
that makes this letter really work! THANKS!

Richard Barrie, Boulder, CO:

I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal account.
Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $22,449. At first I thought
there had been some sort of error with my account!"

Here are the step-by-step directions again:
Step 1.

Set up your PayPal account, if you don't already have one, and send the top name
(1st person) $5.00 dollars. DON'T FORGET to include "Please add me to your
list." This is important as it keeps the program legal.

Step 2.

Send the other $5.00 dollars and an e-mail stating "Thank you. I've Joined" to
the 5th name on the list.

Step 3.

Remove the top name, bump the other 4 names up one place each. Place your name
in the bottom slot and you will receive a minimum of $100.00 or more from your
efforts.

Step 4.

Keep sending/posting the letter until you get 20 "Thank you. I've joined" replies in
your mailbox.

That's it. It's that simple!

Please give it an honest effort, you will not be disappointed and will be very
glad you did when it starts to work. Remember, all you are going to be out of
pocket is about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking
thousands of dollars into your PayPal account! Take the smallest risk of your life. Take 10-20 minutes to work on this small project and reap the rewards!

MAKE EASY AND QUICK CASH MONEY -- sigmund, 18:47:14 12/22/03 Mon

MAKE EASY AND QUICK CASH MONEY

by doing almost nothing (NO JOKE, NO SCAM, AND VERY
LEGAL) Please read on! You will be very
thankful you did!
A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups,
just like you are now, and came across an article similar to
this that said you could make thousands of
dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
$6.00! So I thought," Yeah, right, this must
be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept
reading. Anyway, it said that you send
$1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
article. You then place your own name and
address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the
article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are
thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
over, and talking to a few people first, I
thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to
lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Like
most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked
it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and
they confirmed that it is indeed legal!
Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!...
Within 7 days, I started getting money in
the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but
the money just kept coming in. In my
first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second
week I had made a total of over
$1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and
it's still growing. This is now my fourth
week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and
it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly
worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on
the lottery!! Let me tell you how this
works and most importantly, why it works.... also, make
sure you print a copy of this article
NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need
it. STEP 1 Get 6 separate pieces of
paper and write the following on each piece of
paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING
LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH
of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill
will not be seen through the envelope to prevent
thievery.

Next, place one paper in each of the 6
envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed
envelopes, each with a piece of paper
stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a
$1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating
a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! This program
remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
participants. Please
continue its success by carefully adhering to the
instructions. You will now become
part of the Mail Order business. Your product is simply a
service of helping
develop mail lists. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following
addresses:



:#1)Pierre Jenkins
7816 Regent Drive
Arlington, TX 76001

:#2)Kevin Prentice
134 45 229st Springfields Gardens
Laurelton, NY 11413

:#3)Enrique Acosta
790 Delmonico St. NE
Palm Bay, Fl 32907

#4)Joseph Lombardi
213 Maple ave apt f 82
hirsham, pa 19044

#5)Demarco Landingham
841 E. 18th St.
Erie Pa. 16503

:#6)Allan virkus
Råsen
36070 Åseda
Sweden.

STEP 2 Now take the #1 name and address off the list that
you see above, move the other names
up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name
and address as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3 Change anything you need to, but try to keep this
article as close to original as possible.
Now, post your amended article to at least 200
newsgroups.
(I think there are close to 24,000
groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you
post, the more money you make!


---DIRECTIONS-----HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
Step 1) You do not need
to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this
letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this
document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu.
This will copy the entire letter into the computers
memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and
place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From
the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a
copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your
name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new
notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in different sittings, you'll always have
this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try
searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article
as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter
and selecting
paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will
be the header that everyone sees as they
scroll through the list of postings in a particular
group,
click the post message button. You're
done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT!
All
you have to do is jump to different
newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it,
it
will take about 30 seconds for each
newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN,
THE MORE
MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF
200** That's it!
You will begin receiving money from around the world
within days! You may eventually want to
rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will
receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will
deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL
THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part Out of 200
postings, say I receive
only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00
with my name and address at #6 on the
letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00
make the MINIMUM 200 postings,
each with my name and address at #5 and only 5 persons
respond to each of the original 5, that is
another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM
posts with my name and
address at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $125.00! Now, those 125
persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name
and address at #3 and only
receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional
$626.00!
OK, now here is the fun part, each of
those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name
and address at #2 and they each
only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!!
Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
message to 200 newsgroups with my name and address at #1
and if still 5 persons per 200
newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an
original investment of only $6.00!
AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you
just
take the latest posting in the
newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at number 6
again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is,
do you realize that thousands of people
all over the world are joining the internet and reading
these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU
are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really
works?? I think so... People have said,
"what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the
money? So what! What are the chances
of that happening when there are tons of new honest users
and new honest people who are joining
the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to
give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to
50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those
joining the actual internet. Remember, play
FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work.
ALSO REMEMBER*** : : SEND YOUR $1 OUT TO EVERYONE ON THE
LIST, : : EVEN
IF THEY ARE NOT FROM THE U.S. : : WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR??? : :
: : GOOD LUCK!!
go to google.com and search for MAKE MONEY FAST AND EASY$$ and
you will find alot of message boards

Wonderful Story -- Anonymous, 15:07:11 12/12/03 Fri

Early Winters Snow



The sun was getting closer and closer to the horizon. It had not yet reached the hour of five. The wind was picking up. Snow began to gently fall from the heavens, as snow should. A young couple was slowly walking down the road toward the setting sun. He was taller, dark hair, handsome. Her golden locks were collecting snow as they cantered along. He embraced her with one arm. She looked up and smiled at him. His darks eyes sparkled.

They came upon the intersection and stopped for a minute. He let go of her and faced her. He looked down at her with his warm gaze.

“Your hair is all full of snow,” he said softly.

“I know,” she said as she reached to clear it away.
He reached up and caught her hand as she reached. His fingers folded around hers like it was a fitted glove. He smiled and said, “Don’t… You’re beautiful.”

She smiled and he felt the warmth of her body as he embraced her tight. His lips reached hers as he kissed her tenderly. It was a long kiss, full of young love and old aspirations. It seemed like there was no such dimension as time. They were there for forever and never. It lasted far too long, and ended far too soon.

“C’mon,” He told her, “I’ll make us some hot cocoa.”

She smiled and they began to walk towards the driveway. They reached the door and he opened it for her. He took her coat and gently placed upon the rack. He led her into the living room and set her up on the sofa with a blanket before he left to make the cocoa.

He came back in a few minutes later and set the two cups on the coffee table in front of them. He then bent down to light the fire. It seemed as if no time had passed before he had the flames playfully licking the air above. He sat down and held her close under the blankets. He kissed her lightly on the forehead.

“I love you,” he whispered softly in her ear.

She smiled as she sipped her hot cocoa. Everything was just so right. She laid her head down on his chest and curled up beside him. She looked up at him; her eyes alight with the soft glow of the fire.

He stared out the window at the snow, falling heavy now. This was all he ever wanted. A woman to love, hold, be with. A woman he could share these times with. His eyes glazed over again. He was as warm as the mantle to his right.

He looked down. She appeared to be sleeping. He brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her lightly on the cheek. Then he raised himself and covered her up. She looked so angelic just laying there, her beautiful face so innocent and kind, her chest rising and falling with such grace. And so he sat there watching her rest for what reality would place as an hour.

He walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead yet again. Her eyes fluttered open like tiny butterflies. She smiled such a beautiful smile as she looked into his eyes. She had always dreamed of waking to the kiss of the man she loved.

He smiled back at her and kissed her again. There was so much love between them. The fire was dying down now… But not their flame. Their flame would go on to the end of their lives. They both knew it to be so. They were a match made in heaven, if there ever was. As they held each other close on that night, the stars and the moon shone brighter than they had in months. It was all a perfect dream to them. They just held each other so close, smiling over the others shoulder. Their love would, truly, never end.

Read now make money -- Shawna, 18:22:41 12/09/03 Tue



Subject: READ NOW MAKE MONEY

TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO $6000 EASY AND HONESTLY!!!
READING THIS MESSAGE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER

: I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
: while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,
: and came across an article similar to this that said you could make
: thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
: $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
: like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
: that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
: article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
: the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
: (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
: over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
: figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
: right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?...
: within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
: figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
: first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had
: made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over
: $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
: have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
: rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
: than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most
: importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this
: article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
: I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
: will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
: something so easy!


: Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
: download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
: in!


: It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
: postage)


: IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
: illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works!


: If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
: extraordinary dividends.


: PLEASE NOTE:
: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be
: yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
: the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its
: success by carefully adhering to the instructions.


: You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
: your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in
: the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
: happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made
: from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
: people like you and me asking to be included in that list.


: Here are the 4 easy steps to success:


: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
: each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now
: get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
: paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
: thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
: them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
: paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00
: bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
: LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
: it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
: about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
: Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
: legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:


: Steve Kreitzer
: 7653 Turtle Creek Dr.
: Dayton, OH 45414

: Brad Kelch
: 638 Watson St.
: Ripon, WI 54971

: Sintayehu Jima
: 12507 Rocky River Dr.
: Midlothian, VA 23113

: ashley setzer
: 1504 west cone blvd
: Greensboro, nc 27408

: Paul Delapena
: 8826 Charter Point
: San Antonio, TX 78250

: Shawna Seurer
: 17517 132nd Ave NE
: Thief River Falls, MN 56701

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
: the other names up 1 place (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc...) and add YOUR
: name and address as number 6 on the list.


: STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
: close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
: least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
: you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
: make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy.


: This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
: Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
: Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
: you can use it again, and again.


: PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
: honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
: adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
: integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
: others have received will come your way.


: NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
: either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
: This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might
: be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk
: of mail theft.)


: So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
: six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
: Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
: geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will
: be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
: only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
: it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!


: ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------


: Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
: posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
: drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
: from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
: computer's memory.
: Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
: of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will

STEP 1 – You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select “copy” from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer’s memory.
STEP 2 – Open a blank “notepad” file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the ‘edit’ menu, select ‘paste’. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
STEP 3 – Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you’ll always have this file to go back to.
STEP 4 – Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, and discussion groups).
STEP 5 – Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting ‘post’ from the edit menu. Fill in the ‘Subject’ (this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group) and click the ‘post message’ button. You’re done with your first one! Congratulations!!! THAT’S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will only take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
***REMEMBER – THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST TO A MINIMUM OF 200***
That’s it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. ***JUST MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT*** Now, if each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me. Now, those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part. Each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3125.00!!!! Those 3125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still only 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react, I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start the posting again. The thing to remember is – do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU ARE NOW! So, can you afford $6.00 to see if it really works?? I think so … People have said, “what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember – play fairly and honestly, and this will really work. GOOD LUCK!!

greenbacks
dollars
coin
cash
dinero

words like

trust
sharing
friendship
love
joy
peace is love

oxymorons of my day -- Jennifer, 22:42:42 07/11/03 Fri

Silence enlongates time to a stand still.
Feel the presents of agrivation creep up on you.
Can't feel the anger boiling up inside.
Just swallow it like you always do.
You're good at making me feel good and at the same time, being very condescending.
I hate to be made to look stupid, but you make me look anything but good and I love you for it.
Prove I'm wrong once again.
Make me believe I can't do anything right, all the while, feeding me from your hand.
And while your "superiority" swells and you become someone I don't know or like very much, I'll sit there while you critesize me, and I'll take a lortab for resolution.

The fish

Thump, the bobber violates the tranquil peace of nature
The anticipation seeps in
5, 20, 60 minutes, nothing
There! It moved, breaking the glass reflection of the calm water
Adrenaline rush! How big is he, will he take it?
Next few seconds seem like hours
Violently the bobber disappears under the merely water
Jerk- line tightens, rod bends
Suddenly you feel the creature at the other end
Snap- the line breaks like a toothpick
Now, the game begins again
Fish one, you zero

Beauty -- Jared, 15:59:30 05/22/03 Thu

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Society's rejects find kingdoms laid out before them, thanks to the beholder. Humor is in the mind of the beholder. The off-center joke of society will find attentive ears and smiles thanks to the beholder. The world would be better is we were all beholders. Behold yourself and those around you, realize everyone and everything's subtle magnificence. Power is in the hands of the beholder.

A FLYING GUITAR


The bumblebee, which came
Into the room from the sun
Like a flying guitar
Wakes up the sleeping melancholy…
The trees standing with its fingers
Dripped in the yellow
And dispassionate sky
Draped in deep blue
Suspends me like a feather
In a remorseful painting of still-life-


Out over there,
Stands the season of Indian summer
Bathing the objects in the pouring sunshine;
Wind lies motionless
And bird passes across
Drawing a line as it were
Between the two worlds of motion and stagnation
Time flows into
Infinity in the silence of man and melody
The bird in the midair, balancing itself
With its wings in a horizontal line
To achieve motionlessness,
Is a wall clock in the sky
With its hands
On three and nine-

poem -- Seshendra Sharma, 04:36:21 05/26/03 Mon

EVER MIGRANT

My eyes are of nomadic tribes
Never in search of anything in particular
They are two vagabonds like butterflies
The will less ramblers
And drunkards
In a garden of colours and scents
Their motion knows no straight lines
Angles or curvatures
They move I unpredictable directions
In desire less freedom
Like the feet of children
Like the limbs in a dance
Like pure fantasy-
My eyes are not birds
Flying for a destination
They are ever migrant like clouds
Who know no horizons-

The meaning of life -- jared, 15:56:13 05/22/03 Thu

The meaning of life is love, the foundation of love is trust. Trust is gained through comfort and comfort gained through peace. Make peace with yourself and others and you will trust yourself and others. Trust will build love and once you have love, you will truly live life to the fullest.

What it's like to be "the man" -- Jared, 15:53:37 05/22/03 Thu

So here I stand, on the very edge of existence, staring down at my troubles, staring down at my enemies. Here I stand, under the weight of the world, making decisions that will make ripples in many ponds. Here I stand, here I struggle to stand.

Never give up, no matter what -- Jared, 15:50:03 05/22/03 Thu

Where do I turn in this darkn cavern of lies? Who do I turn to? How did I get here? I don't know is the answer I fear. It's too dark to see, but I hear voices all around, some threatening, some funny, but all from invisible beings finding their way through the dark. When will I leave? Never is the answer I fear, but I will not give in, I will not quit, I will not lay down and die because I know that I am innocent of the crime that has condemned me and I know that will be realized in the end.

Why do I strut? -- Jared, 15:44:44 05/22/03 Thu

Why do I strut? because life is music brutha, you gotta strut to the beat. You gotta stroll to the tune of your own melody. Make up th esong as you go, play it loud in your heart, proclaim it loudly for the world to hear. Feed the music to your soul, put your soul in your music. Why do I strut? Because I'm walkin' to the music flowin' through my body.

Tomorrow Is Another Day -- ROze, 17:37:24 05/19/03 Mon

By: Roze Vessey

It was a warm, bright, and sunny day that morning as I walked to catch the bus. Thoughts were whirling around in my head, all dark and dim, but a smile was plastered on my face. “I wish I didn’t have to ride this bus” silently ran through my head the whole way up there. As I stepped on the bus everything seemed to stop, then go into slow motion. Staring and whispers were all I could grasp. I sat in the seat, but I felt as though I was a million miles away just watching my body react. The bus stopped; the people got off; I was all alone again, just the bus driver and me. “Nice day, huh?” She said, I was not really hearing her, so I nodded my head.

Then as I was stepping off the bus, the rain began to pour down. “Why me?” I thought. Hood pulled up, face staring down; I trudged along the wet, cold, rainy road. Finally I made it to the door; hot, muggy air poured over my rain-soaked body, as I pushed the doors open. I could feel the eyes of the people staring at me as I walked to the library. A refuge, books, I can lose myself in a book and forget about my problems. The bell rang. It’s time for class, time for people, and time for pain. That is part of everyday life though right? That’s what I think and that’s what I hear. So why do I wish I didn’t feel anymore? All I can feel is guilt, from making people feel bad for me, when I don’t even want them to. I sat in my seat, and the other people piled in around me. I smiled like I cared. “Hey how are you?” they all asked, but I knew they didn’t really want to know they were just asking to be nice, “Peachy, good, fine” I answered in a lie, like I do everyday, but today will be different; I won’t take it any more. It’s another bell, another class, and more people. “Can I go to the bathroom?” I asked quietly. She said, “all right.” So I walked out the door, to escape all the people.

Once in the bathroom, the tears began to fall. I couldn’t stop them, even if I had tried to. All the pain I had held in for so long finally made its way out. The bells rang, and so I pulled myself together, wiped my tears, and grabbed my books. I had to go to the mirror to check for mascara running down my cheeks, I wiped the mascara away with a paper towel, and walked to class. “You’re late” she stated. Embarrassed, I settled into my seat and began to type my poems. I’m supposed to do work, but when I’m feeling like this, the only way I can get it out of my system is to write. Today, it wasn’t working, the hurt was too great and the pain was too real to stop clawing at my soul. People said things to me but when I write, I don’t listen, I just write.

The bell rang for lunch, but I don’t eat. I don’t need to. Look at me. As everyone else was eating lunch and making jokes, I carried my body, and my pencil to the door. I went outside and sat as the tears fell silently from my face, leaving wet droplets on my shirt. My body filled with terror as I realized what I was about to do, but I knew I couldn’t stop myself, I couldn’t before. I scraped my wrist with all I had in me, but I heard footsteps, so I stopped. They’re gone. I continued. Scraped, harder. It’ll be over soon, tears fell down, but finally I did it. The blood began to flow as the stress and pain are released from my body in this physical way. Suddenly, terror over took my body, like I’d never known before, I had done this already but I had never seen this much blood, it was like a stream, flowing. Starring at it, I was mesmerized, red, the darkest you had ever seen, like royalty. I realized I’d made the biggest mistake anyone could make, if they lived to be 200 years old.

I stood to my feet as the blood gushed down my arm, till I felt as if I wouldn’t have the strength to go on. I rushed myself to the bathroom. Everyone was starring but no one made any attempt to ask what was wrong. They didn’t know what was going on, but knew I was scared. As I made my way to the bathroom I checked to make sure no one was there. I did not want any one to know, so that I could go home with out the guilt of knowing someone felt sorry for me, I hated sympathy. Relief poured over me, as I tried to stop the bleeding, I covered it with a rag. I’m finished.

Slowly the bell rang, everything stopped inside me, the feelings turned off, like a switch. It’s a habit though, I can’t talk, no one can know. I walked out the door with a smile on my face, but with terror stirring in my heart. No one knows anything happened. They never know, but I can try again. Everyone talks to me, but when they ask, “what’s wrong?” and I say “nothing” they forget about me and go on with their business. They say they’re my real friends, but if you really loved someone, wouldn’t you push for them to talk? Bell rang again; schools out so finally I can go home. Not like home is much better with everyone that lives around me but at least then I can’t try again because they all know, and I can’t be alone. After I get off the bus I walked home, thinking about the ride, the teasing, the staring, and the hurtful words. It was more than I could take. “God, why can’t I be dead?” I screamed, I thought it was out loud, but guess not, since no one heard me, but then again no one hears this little voice. Making my way home, all I could think about was being gone. I crawled into bed, thinking no one cared, but knowing, “Tomorrow is another day.”

Do you have a story to enter? -- scott, 17:43:06 05/15/03 Thu

VHA Inc. and community hospitals across the country today announced a national call for entries for “The Face of Stroke” creative contest, to raise awareness of the third leading cause of death and encourage those affected by stroke to express the impact of this deadly, yet preventable, disease on their lives.
The contest kicks off National Stroke Month and encourages people affected by stroke to create a literary work (poem, short story, etc.), artwork, photograph, song or other creative piece that depicts how stroke has personally affected them. Prizes will be awarded to the top three entries with $500 for Best in Show, $250 for second place and $100 for third place. Entries will also be posted to “The Face of Stroke” gallery on the StrokeSense Web site at www.strokesense.org.

“Stroke affects people from every walk of life,” said Scott Dahl, director, clinical affairs. “The Face of Stroke contest seeks to put a face of the wide range of people affected by this disease. From survivors to caregivers to families, this disease is not just devastating to the patient, but also can be devastating to the lives of those around them.”

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and claims more that 700,000 lives each year. Every 3.1 minutes a person will die of a stroke and a stroke can occur to anyone at any age. A majority of strokes can be prevented or delayed through proper management or elimination of risk factors, such as smoking and high blood pressure.

To combat this deadly, yet highly preventable disease, VHA, based in Irving, Texas, announced the national launch of StrokeSense. StrokeSense is a nationwide initiative to raise awareness of stroke and educate doctors and clinicians on best practices to continually improve clinical outcomes of stroke patients. This hospital-based program not only raises community awareness, but it is unique in that it provides clinical training to participating hospitals in VHA’s network of 2,200 not-for-profit health care organizations.

“The devastating effects of stroke take on many forms as stroke is the leading cause of long-term adult disability,” said Dahl. “This contest will allow families and stroke survivors to demonstrate how stroke has affected their lives in a creative way.”

The contest runs through National Stroke Month and to be eligible for the prizes, entries must be received by June 13, 2003. Additional submissions will be accepted on an ongoing basis and will be included in “The Face of Stroke” gallery. Entries can be entered at their local participating hospital or by sending it to VHA, 220 Las Colinas Blvd, Irving, TX 75039 or via e-mail at vhacustomerservice@vha.com. Contestants should send a cover letter with their name, phone number and signature verifying originality of the piece.

READ NOW MAKE MONEY -- Paul, 01:02:07 05/08/03 Thu

TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO $6000 EASY AND HONESTLY!!!
READING THIS MESSAGE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER

: I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
: while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,
: and came across an article similar to this that said you could make
: thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
: $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
: like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
: that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
: article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
: the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
: (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
: over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
: figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
: right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?...
: within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
: figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
: first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had
: made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over
: $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
: have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
: rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
: than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most
: importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this
: article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
: I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
: will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
: something so easy!


: Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
: download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
: in!


: It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
: postage)


: IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
: illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works!


: If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
: extraordinary dividends.


: PLEASE NOTE:
: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be
: yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
: the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its
: success by carefully adhering to the instructions.


: You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
: your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in
: the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
: happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made
: from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
: people like you and me asking to be included in that list.


: Here are the 4 easy steps to success:


: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
: each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now
: get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
: paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
: thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
: them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
: paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00
: bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
: LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
: it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
: about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
: Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
: legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:


: Jose Lucina
: 1122 Ahe Ahe Avenue
: Wahiawa, HI 96786

: Steve Kreitzer
: 7653 Turtle Creek Dr.
: Dayton, OH 45414

: Brad Kelch
: 638 Watson St.
: Ripon, WI 54971

: Sintayehu Jima
: 12507 Rocky River Dr.
: Midlothian, VA 23113

: ashley setzer
: 1504 west cone blvd
: Greensboro, nc 27408

: Paul Delapena
: 8826 Charter Point
: San Antonio, TX 78250

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
: the other names up 1 place (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc...) and add YOUR
: name and address as number 6 on the list.


: STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
: close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
: least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
: you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
: make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy.


: This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
: Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
: Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
: you can use it again, and again.


: PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
: honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
: adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
: integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
: others have received will come your way.


: NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
: either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
: This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might
: be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk
: of mail theft.)


: So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
: six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
: Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
: geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will
: be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
: only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
: it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!


: ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------


: Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
: posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
: drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'

the startled urchin -- Colobal P, 22:04:15 05/07/03 Wed

deep
not for man, who are known to all creatures but themselves to be pitifully shallow
but for a much sturdier and ancient creature
the urchin
deep for an urchin is a deep unknown
if it knew how deep it was it would probably have been even more tense
for this was a tense invertebrae indeed
so deep was he and so alone, that he feared the unknown with a diligent passion
he was able to fold in on himself, withdrawing his glowing blue tentacles from the world
he would hide this beautiful exterior, hide it from a foe that he could not know
the darkness consumed him
eventually the urchin tired of this fear
he realised he needed something else, some frame of reference if he was to truly exist
and so concluded, not quickly mind, to embrace the unknown
wherever it was
and as luck, or fate, would have it, not long after he encountered his first
he had no idea what it was of course, but embraced it none the less
embraced the thing in his generous glowing tentacles
petrified, he drank in the sensation
the thing turned out to be an algae
floating far and deep, deep enough to feed
on the only thing that deep
the startled urchin
even as it was consumed the urchin drank the sensation
and thought to himself..
today, i exist

how to turn $6 into $6 thousand -- katie, 07:52:16 04/27/03 Sun

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam,but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.
PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper;PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:


#1) Jeff Millan
1113 N. 19 ½
McAllen, TX 78501

#2) R. Overton
P.O. Box 18818
So. Lake Tahoe, CA 96151

#3) KEVIN LEE
8377 APT. I MONTGOMERY RUN RD.
ELLICOTT CITY MD 21043

#4)A. Dahl
1140 Walnut Ave #21
Grand Junction, CO 81501

#5)Stephanie Hicks
1283 Evening Canyon
Henderson NV 89014

#6) G. Woltz
45 upper woodcrest rd
Berwick, Pa 18603

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!
---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!!

CHRYSALIS -- Kendra I, 01:00:41 04/24/03 Thu

What is their problem? It’s like they don’t notice I’m there when they’re yelling at each other day and night, every day. It’s like they don’t care that I’m sitting there listening to them tell each other things about me, about my grades, about my friends, about MY life. I’m their only child, so I naturally take up every spare inch of space in their lives, but it’s only obvious to me that they don’t really CARE. Maybe they do notice, I don’t know. These are supposed to be the “Growing Up Years.” Yeah, I guess I’m growing, but am I really growing up?

Anna tells me to ignore it. Lacey tells me to listen to them, but not let it hurt me. Little do they know how hard it is to do just that. How much it hurts to have to hear it, over and over, the pit of dread in my stomach getting bigger and bigger, synchronized with the heavy footsteps coming up the stairs to my sanctuary, my room, along with those hateful, horrible words, getting louder all the while. Before I can stop them, tears spill out, and then I join the screaming, asking them why they do this, what makes them hate me, what I did. The yelling stops, and instead it’s filled with a guilty silence, so uncomfortable that I almost wish they were screaming again. Instead of saying something soothing to them, ensuring them that they aren’t as bad of parents as I give them credit for, I say nothing, and sprint as far and as fast as I can out of the house, slamming the door and not caring where I go. I’m so blinded by unshed tears I don’t think it would have mattered if I had had a destination. The angry frustration that had been slowly building up inside of me, that I had finally let go of in my room, has been replaced with a dead, hollow feeling of loneliness. I know what they would yell at me for now: self pity, not being strong enough, not trusting them. But when their words hurt so badly that the stitch in my side after sprinting for what seems like forever feels better than going back there, how am I supposed to feel? They don’t understand. No one does. What makes the situation even worse is that no one comes to look for me. It’s like that sudden moment of regret and guilt that my outburst inflicted upon them had never happened and they still hadn’t realized that their daughter, their only daughter, had feelings…and just wasn’t there anymore.

My teachers ask what’s wrong. Why I haven’t been doing my homework, or hanging out with my friends, or paying attention in class. They start calling my house, asking my parents if there are any situations they should be aware of. If they only knew. If I could only hate my parents enough to tell someone how bad it’s getting. If I could only be a little more selfish and just blurt it out to someone. When they come screaming and stomping up the stairs to confront me about these phone calls I just sit there. This unbelievable feeling of premonition comes over me and I know that when Dad walks through that door, so mad he’s not even yelling anymore, just sort of standing there sputtering and turning red, he’s going to hit me. The split second before it happens, I see it all like it’s happening in slow motion. His hand stands suspended in mid air and I can hear my mother’s voice, as if from hundreds of miles away, yelling and hollering and ranting about the phone calls. Then I’m slapped, literally, back into reality, and there is all of the sudden a deep, resounding silence in my used to be sanctuary. My father stands there, all traces of anger gone, with a shocked expression on his face and staring at his hand. My mother has her hand clapped over her mouth, her eyes slowly filling with tears. I silently stand up and speak for the first time in two days. “I’m telling someone. I can’t live like this anymore. I hate this, I hate you! All you do anymore is yell at me, about me, to anyone who will listen! I get so scared whenever I hear your footsteps in the hall, coming up the stairs that I freeze…I just stop thinking. I thought that maybe I loved you too much to tell someone how bad the yelling has gotten here, but…come on, you just hit me! Can’t you stop lecturing me for one minute and let me live? Let me be happy? You sit there telling, no screaming at me, about how selfish I am, but you don’t stop and take a breath and think long enough to realize how selfless I am. I’m tired. So tired. I just…I want to go to sleep without worrying about one of you waking up and yelling at me for something completely trivial and meaningless. I want to come home from school without having to worry about one of you stamping up the stairs to scream at me again. I want…I want more than anything for both of you to just not be like this. God, do you know what it’s like to have to worry about being perfect and not making mistakes so that your parents won’t spend hours screaming at you instead of worrying about zits or getting a date to the dance? Do you? Well I do, thanks to you two. What, is this another one of your life lessons or something? That it was all just a game you were playing to see how strong I was? Well, guess what? I don’t want to be strong anymore. I don’t want to have to do this anymore. I want to just…not be like this.” I was crying again after this, and they were standing there, unsure of what to say. I started to walk out of the room and they, almost instinctively, began to tell me how sorry they were, how they can’t believe what happened, how they hate themselves. I stop at this and turn around. “You hate yourselves?” I say right back. “You know what? You should. Because I hate you too.” And I walk back out the door, out of my parent’s house, and out of that life. I was a chrysalis no more…I guess I had finally grown up.

Headchange -- Fink L. Stiltskin, 02:37:45 03/24/03 Mon

Three blocks from my house, I smelled rain. Someone was having a barbeque. I heard thunder roll. Two blocks away, the hairs on my arms began to crawl. As I approached the halfway point, lightning struck immediately in front of me.

Blinded, I staggered the final block to my house, rubbing my eyes, the stench of sulfur filling my nose. Fuzzy lines connected to form the shape of my house before me as the smell of sulfur was slowly replaced with that of my burning home. Before I could blink again, the bottom fell out. I have never experienced rain as heavy as that day – the fire was extinguished quickly. My eyes were yet to blink – the sky opened up and a rainbow appeared over my house.

My vision was perfect – a rainbow rose high over my home and disappeared into the clouds far away. Much closer, perfectly framed in the rainbow, a tornado approached.

I still love you at the end of time -- Roland P. Hagge, 14:36:39 12/16/02 Mon

I still love you at the end of time

Even after the last rose have wither and died
And the only fragrance, that fades away,

Even after the blackbird has sing his last song
And the only thing you hear, is silence,

Even after the last butterfly lost its wings
And only remembrance, exists.

Even after the blue sky have disappeared,
And only the darkness, above.

Even after the last white clouds have gone,
And the only thing left, emptiness,

Even after the last grass have turned brown,
And the only desolate, appear,

Even after the last beautiful tree have burned down
And only black ashes, is there,

Even after the last mountains have turned to sand,
And rolling hills, are no more,

Even after the wide ocean have turn to mud.
And only a desert, remains,

Even after the last river is memory alone,
And only a line, in the sand,

Even after the moonlight have gone to sleep,
And only the nights, appear,

Even after our sun have turned itself off,
And only darkness, is all we see,

Yes, even at the end of time, I will love you.
My love will be stronger, than time.

And at the end of time,
I will still love you with all of my heart.

(c) RP Hagge

everyone can learn to fly

Fighting against the problems we’ve had for years
Made your own place with blood, sweat and tears
Fighting on despite the deepest of fears
I think we all could learn a better lesson or two
If we took a moment here to look at those like you
And finally see what one man can really do

One voice of dissension can do more than you think
For minds can change faster than one can blink
The minds can change, ideas aren’t in ink
Individuals make up any of our societies
Changed by those who aren’t victim to this conformity
And this we haven’t noticed as far as I can see

Always amazing how one can make such a great vision
And how one mind can cause so many to make a decision
And cause such an impact and incision
When one man decides to stand up when all around him crawl
To gain all of your dreams you sometimes risk a fall
Look at your example, and you were willing to give it all
Cuz even when vizions blurr
Dreams occur, but by fear of failure they can fade fast
Lets start making the future from the mistakes of the past


Yeah some think they got no reasons and life is hell,
Others claim to find God, but most haven't even found themselves
Yeah they all seem to be searching for something they believe in
But they look only for investments and only see what they can achieve in
And the days seem cold and empty to those who find nothing
But everyone has choices and everyone can find a little something
So before you cry, say goodbye
Because everyone can touch the sky

Yeah the broken hearted walk on, hoping love is blind
But they always seem to know that lovers aren’t that kind
Yeah they grow dark and soon say that love is war
And it becomes a battle for ones self rather than what they adore
And the night must grow cold and lonely for them
But anywhere as good as where you've been
So before you cry, say goodbye
Because everyone can learn to fly

Yeah some people claim virtue that they do not see
And some how love and hate are all that they can be
Cause love in this world often goes unrequited
Yet hate goes both ways, a fact often unrecited
And the sun must burn dark for those who only hate
And only see the truth when it’s too late
So before you cry, say goodbye
Because everyone can find out why

Yeah some claim we’re always at war and never have peace
And others say its over, but the causalities never seem to cease
Some say bring people up, others say leave em down
But they still starve; cause leaders serve themselves and crowns
And the wind must blow cold for those who only whine and mope
And never see that others need to find hope
So before you cry, say goodbye
Because everyone is gonna die

Sitting here with a shattered mind and a broken heart
I should have learned to play guitar
But we just sit around and play our parts
Cuz the deal with the devil didn’t get us very far

Can still hear the voices calling in the night
From way back when I fell in love
I was blowing in the breeze like a kite
Back when the world fit me like a glove

Rock and roll was like religion
There was something to believe
Back when all you need was love
And there was nothing left to achieve

I made a religion that I don’t believe in
Empty inside like the world around
Left and right wings, virtue and sin
The whole masquerade crashes to the ground
Its like kissing the wind

We are all puppets in some monumental play
But even puppets can pull back on the strings
It’s coming to the sunset of the great hay day
And no one knows what tomorrow brings

I long for the days of old, long, long ago
Back before creation, back before I was born
When the music would still soothe my soul
Before the mind was blown and the heart was torn
Back before my chest became an empty hole.

Anyway, it said that you send one dollar to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then delete the first address and change the numbers. ( 2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc.) place your own name and address on the bottom of the list at number 6 and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. (there are thousands) No catch that was it. Therefore, after talking to a few people and thinking it over I decided to try it. What do I have to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00 right? Then I invested the measly six dollars.

WELL GUESS WHAT!!! Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!!! I was
shocked. I thought it was going to stop but it just kept coming. In my first week, I made
$25.00. By the end of the second week, I had $900.00. In the end of the third week, I made $5,000.00!!! It's still growing right now. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $38,000.00! Moreover, it's still coming in rapidly. This is certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps. I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly why it works…Also make sure that you print a copy of this article NOW so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you possibly thought just by doing something so easy!!

SUGGESTION: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CAREFULLY (Print it out or down load it)
Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And your investment is only $6.00 (plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works !!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: please follow these directions exactly and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become a part of the mail order business. In this business, your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing a mailing list. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality list. However, the money made from the mailing list is secondary to the income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included to that list. Here are the four steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 us 1dollar bills and place ONE inside EACH of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. MAKE SURE THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase your name and address and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So, I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!!! Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses:

#1) Andrew Bunn, 149 Peregrine Way Divide, Co. 80814
#2) James Sampson, 2425 Atkinson, Detroit Mi. 48206
#3) Terry Wright, 18455 Wildemere, Detroit Mi. 48221
#4) Ryan Molinski, 1437 Jefferson Ave. Winnipeg, MB,CANADA R2P0R5
#5) Eddie Wright, 1236 W.Spurgeon Fort Worth Texas, 76115
#6) Anne Logan, P.O. Box 700034, Oklahoma City, OK. 73107

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc…) and add YOUR name as number 6 on
the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as original as possible. Now post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. ( I think there are 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post , the more money you make! ** EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO THIS BUT REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES!!!!** This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to title 18 sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for your self and whenever you need money, you can use it again and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way, if you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, on either a computer or a hard copy and keep the notes people sent you. This verifies that you are truly providing a service. (Remember to wrap the $1 bill in the note to prevent mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a list developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 spot you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1 for each of the six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!

DIRECTIONS: HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS

STEP 1: You do not need to retype this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select "copy" from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.

STEP 2: Open a blank notepad file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the edit menu, select "paste." This will paste the copy of the letter into notepad so you can add your name to the list.

STEP 3: Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings , you'll always have this file to come back to.

STEP 4: Use Netscape and Internet Explorer and try searching for various news groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)

STEP 5: Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting "paste" from the edit menu.

Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE THE ADDRESS IS CORRECT**

Let me break it down, say I receive only 5 replies, so then I made $5 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1 made the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 people respond to the original 5 people. That is another $25 for me. Now those 25 people make the MINIMUM 200 post with my name at number 4 and only 5 replies each, I will make $125. Now, those 125 people post the MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #3 and only get 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626! Ok, now here's the fun part each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 ant they only get 5 replies that just made me $3,125 !!! Those 3125 people send a MINIMUM 200 postings and they only get 5 replies each with my name at #1, I will receive $15,625!!! With an original investment of $6!!!! AMAZING !!!! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest postings in the news groups and send out another $6 to names on the list putting yourself at #6 and start posting again. Thousands of people are joining the internet each day and they are reading articles like these just as you are right now. So this can never be played out just keep it going and you can make tons of money too !!!! Please try it now and make big bucks in a few short weeks !!!!

Seven Sisters of The Pleides -- Adonis, 21:42:38 10/11/02 Fri

Janine and the other seven Janines in the world of Erotica have the presiding long legs of desire into eros past pathos to hold ethos into a look onto pathos in a return to their hold on the male to their love making with Adonis into an Angels hands called a vixen or a Laura into eyes of Mars and to tell Aphrodite and to say great Hecate Sappho halo

Hellen of Troy is with Paris and Troy a paramour to be sure

Dark Cherub's Path -- Miotic, 19:58:26 10/11/02 Fri


I walk the dark cherubs path
In a garden of earthly pleasure
Cries of sinners, silent wrath
To and from heaven without measure

Making my way into flesh
I will seek all it has to declare.
Good and evil, two shall mesh
Exploiting the carnal without care.

I fear no eternal pain,
There is no post mortem punishment.
On my soul there is no stain
Unto life no ghostly soul is rent.

A dark cherubs life I lead,
I walk on this dark path without fear.
Into life, pleasure I read,
For I know the end is always near.

Without the pleasures I seek
Of what use would the world be to me?
Pain and suffering of meek
Would be all this world offers to see.

Better to be the pebble
On rough road to licentious living,
Than boulder on the level,
Without much pleasure for the giving.

This dark cherubs path is grand,
Offering up the most out of life.
For the mundane I will stand,
But adding not to the worldly strife.

Golden rule is all you need.
Unshackle your flesh from moral bind
Take heed from the life I lead,
For you too can unsaddle your mind.

AVOID THE MAIL SCAMS!! EARN $50000US WITH THIS NEW VENTURE - GET IN EARLY -- PAT, 05:25:07 10/01/02 Tue

Advertise with moneycube for life. Only $99. This is a cash builder so after you have your cube, you then start earning cash as more people advertise their cube under you. Ive already had my cube paid off so im now advertising for free and making money of it too. Potential earnings about $50000 US. ONLY BEEN RUNNING 11 WEEKS - GET IN QUICK

http://www.moneycube.com/cubes/?i=4846




I'm highly cynical about these "get rich" schemes, where you mail $1 to each of a list of six people - together with another list of six that now includes your name. In the time that it takes for your 'free lunch' to arrive, the postman will have had a hernia!

With the 'Money Cube' however, you only need one initial investment, and the scheme is supported by WWW advertising. Still no free lunch, but there will be big incomes guaranteed for early participants, and Money Cube was only launched on 10th July 2002.

MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE, HONESTY AND PATIENCE...Above all else FOCUS!

Please follow the EXACT instructions and you will be rewarded. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and e-mails just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you can make thousand of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00. So I thought, "yeah right, this must be a scam," but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address on the bottom of the list and post the article in at least 200 news groups. {There are thousands}. No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to lose; except six stamps and $6.00 right, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00.

WELL GUESS WHAT?........Within seven days, I started getting money in the mail I was in awe. I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week I made about $31.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of more than five hundred dollars. In the third week I had considerably more than the previous week, nearly two thousand, and it is still growing! This is my fourth week and I have made a few thousand more and it is still coming rapidly. It is certainly worth the six-dollar investment and six stamps, believe it or not I have spent more on lottery with no returns. Let me explain how this works and most important, why it works.....Also, make sure you print this article out NOW, so you can get the information.

STOP NOW: Print this article out so you can get the information you need off of it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy. Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully, and follow the simple directions and watch the money come in. It is easy, It is legal, and your investment is only $6.00 plus postage. Important: This is not a rip-off, it is decent, it is legal; and it virtually without risk– it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.

PLEASE NOTE: Please follow the directions EXACTLY, and 50-thousand-dollars or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become a part of the Mail Order business. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, this money made from the mailing lists is secondary to income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included on that list.

Here Are The Four Easy Steps To Success:

Get six (6) separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper. "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get six (6) U.S.1.00 bills and place One inside of Each of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the six envelopes and seal them with the dollar bill enclosed. You now should have six sealed envelopes each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase with your name and address written thereon [don't forget to enclose the $1.00]. What you are doing is creating a service–THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it. Clearly, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. Therefore, I checked it out with the U.S. Postal Service (1-800-275-8777) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal.

Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses:

[1] Joy Moore 400 S Kingsley Drive Los Angeles, CA 90020-3224

[2] Hussain 103 Village Drive Avenel, NJ 07001, USA

[3] Ryan Levine 4342 Reyes Drive Tarzana, Ca 91356

[4] Eric Parker 2425 W.Metairie Ave. Apt.E Kenner, La 70062

[5] David Tran 363 Spring Garden, Montreal PQ, Canada H9B 1S9

[6] Dustin Hilton 3620 Dahlia, Grand Prairie , TX. 75052
Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (six becomes 5, and 5 becomes 4, and etc.) and add YOUR NAME as number 6 on the list.

Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as close to the original as possible. Now post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups). All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal. If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Section 1302 & 1341 of the Postal Lottery Laws. Keep a copy of these directions for yourself and whenever you need money you can reuse it again.

Please Remember: That this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to directions. Look at it this way, if you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. Also, it is a good practice to wrap the $1.00 bill in dark paper to avoid the risk of mail theft. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, all members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will be moved up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving Thousand of Dollars in Cash! What an opportunity for only six-dollars ($6) one-dollar ($!) for each of the six people listed above. Send it now, add your own name to the list and you are in business.

Directions on How To Post To News Groups:

You do not need to retype this letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select copy from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Open a blank notepad file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the edit menu select paste. This will paste a copy of the letter into the notepad so that you will add your name to the list. Save your new notepad file as a text File, if you want to do your posting in different settings, you will always have this file to go back to. Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various new groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions). Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You are finished You have finished your first posting. Congratulations!

THAT'S IT. All you have to do is jump news groups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each news group.

***REMEMBER THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!*** IT IS A MOST FOR YOU TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200. "That's It" You will begin receiving money from around the world within days. You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the heavy volume of mail you will be receiving. If you wish to remain anonymous you can adopt another name to use, if it agreeable with the postman to deliver the mail. MAKE CERTAIN THAT ALL ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT. Now the Why part: Assume for example you get a 7.5% return, which is very conservative.

Please view the following estimated breakdowns

Estimated breakdowns: When you mail 200 letters, 15 people will send you $1.00 Those 15 mail out 200 letters, 225 people will mail you $1.00 Those 225 mail out 200 letters, 3,375 people will mail you $1.00 Those 3,375 mail out 200 letters, 50,625 people will mail you $1.00 Those 50,625 mail out 200 letters, 759,375 people will mail you $1.00 By now your name has dropped off the list, but so far you have received at least $759,375. With an original investment of only $6.00 [plus postage]. AMAZING!

When your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting in the news groups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting you name at number six [6] again. And start posting again. You have to remember and realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles every day, JUST LIKE YOU right now. So you can get $6.00 and see if it really works. People have said, "What if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest people who are joining every day and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20 to 50-thousand new users, everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet.

Remember, play FAIRLY AND HONESTLY and this will really work.

Sincerely, Your friend.

With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again.

musicians-make a lot of money on your computer -- Mitch D, 16:36:19 06/26/02 Wed

|READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!|
--------------------------------------
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,
and came across an article similar to this that said you could make
thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
$6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
(There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!...
within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had
made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over
$10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most
importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this
article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
something so easy!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
in!
It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!!
If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
extraordinary dividends.
PLEASE NOTE:
Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be
yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its
success by carefully adhering to the instructions.
You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in
the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made
from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
people like you and me asking to be included in that list.
Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."

Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00
bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:


#1)Eliran Sinvany
Shoham
Habsor 149 St.
ZIP 73142
PObox 1083

#2)James Owen
3119 Dashiell Rd
FallsChurch Va 22042

#3)Gabe Walters
700 Enterprise St.
Sturgis, MI 49091

#4)Kyle King
235 Ave Lobeiro
San Clemente CA, 92672

#5)Martin Anderson
12 Central Ave. Apt.2
Caldwell, NJ 07006

#6)Mitch Donoghue
431 Q Rd
David City, NE 68632



STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR
Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make!
This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
others have received will come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might
be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk
of mail theft.)
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will
be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!

---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------

Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name
to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If
you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always
have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
particular group, click the post message button. You're done with
your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is
jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of
it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE
MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!
BUT YOU
HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving
money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to
rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If
you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as
the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part:
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now,
each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each
of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I
will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5
replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the
fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with
my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
$3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original
investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send
out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6
again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you
realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are
now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think
so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no
one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that
happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really
work.

Is it Phillip Shultz? -- Celina, 10:22:51 03/25/02 Mon

I have a friend who is in desperate need of the name of an author who wrote The Wedding. It is in a poem format and very comedic. In the end the best man admits to the bride (This is after she has declared her undying love for him and not for the groom): "I cannot love you, my dear Mary Louise, for I am in love with the groom." If anyone knows the author please e-mail me to let me know. Thank you.

my stranger -- stash, 06:57:38 01/16/02 Wed

walked past him
our eyes did meet
& he was gone.

felt like i had met
my beautiful stranger
& with a sigh he was gone.

the world is big
only mountains
don't meet
walked right to me
"hello beautiful".

Poem Please do not use this poem without my permission -- Marion, 09:01:21 10/14/01 Sun

Dream

In a dream he came to me,
Soft billowing clouds
Hiding the shroud.

Silently rolling and tumbling,
Tword earth kept coming
A brilliant glow
My desire to know.

Silences has ended.
One cannot pretend
Grandeur in air,
I want to be there.

Clouds no more,
Angels come forth
Abundant in numbers.
Must not slumber.

Angels dividing;
No more hiding.
The glow pours light,
A magnificent sight.

In a blink of an eye
How fast the sky
Darkness bestows.
Evil controls.

All must endure;
Light is obscurd.
Five months given.
I must awaken.

My eyes are open
For he has spoken.
The light is Love
From GOD above.
