No not that NFL, the one that you and I are a part of that we don't necessarily want to be or that we signed up for. I am talking about the No Friends Left league that most networks find themselves in at one time or another. I laughed like crazy the first time I heard of that term. Because I was definitely a part of the NFL and not the one I wanted to be part of in my younger days. Before being educated differently I was handing out flyers, cd's, dvd's and begging everyone I talked to about going to meetings and conferences, more or less harassing my warm market. At the time I had a construction company and I was driving customers away also.
But as life would teach it was actually a great experience, because upon being frustrated and part of the NFL I went looking for help and an education. So for all that most ridiculous up-line babble, I say "Thank you". I even had lunch the other day with a person who, funny enough used to be in my up-line. Yes, that’s right "used" to be, my entire up-line quit because the company was telling lies. Lies that they had preached to me for years and that I had discussed with them on numerous occasions. I am one of this person's few friends left that will sit and have lunch with him, but it’s sad I said nothing about what I do now and the knowledge that I have acquired with education, and here we go again.
It is a great company, best benefit plan out there and what an opportunity. I just smiled and said nothing, because nothing and no where is where this person is heading. This person is truly one of the nicest people you could ever meet, but the up-line who took his money before and is taking it again has this person so brain washed that all they see is the greed.
Folks the greed will lead no where, you have to stop doing the things that are getting you a zero return. Stop handing out cd's or dvd's that you rarely get back, much less get a positive response. Stop going to these hour hotel meetings that you may at best have 2 prospects at. Stop paying for conferences that teach hype, greed and opportunity. Just stop already!
Find a real education or marketing, not sales, marketing. Where people who want and need your PRODUCT are there waiting for you. Stop pitching the opportunity, these companies make their money on moving PRODUCT, so should you. You can really avoid becoming part of the NFL if you would stop these above tactics. In fact you will have more friends and a larger down-line if you would get them a useful PRODUCT. Once you have that down-line, you and your friends will be able to watch the real NFL every Sunday or even go to the games live.
Thanks for spending a little time with me today.

Secret Lover/Friend
By: MiamiTemp | 08-07-2008
I'm a 25 y/o female from Miami. I've been involved with a man romantically for a year and a half but nobody knows about our relationship. I can't go into detail about why we have to keep this a secret. He's not married or anything but if people found out then it could hurt his career, etc. I had known for a few years before we started anything sexual but had fallen for him way before that. When the opportunity presented itself I took it and things have been very hot with him since then. However, he has no idea how much I care about him. We were always friends, so I know he gets that much but I'm scared that if he found out that I was in love with him our relationship would change. It kills me not to be able to tell this guy that he's everything to me. I've had my share of relationships, whether it has been boyfriends, friends with benefits or whatever but this is completely throwing me off track in my life. I know he recently started seeing another woman, but the terms of our current relationship are strictly "friends with benefits" so I can't really say anything. The other woman has no idea that me and him have the type of sexual relationship that we do. She thinks we are just friends. I love having this secret, but at times it gets difficult. I get sad at times when I think that he is waking up next to her and not me. He'll swing by my house, we'll hook up and then he'll go over to her house for a movie. It sucks and I'm not quite sure how to handle it. I don't want it to end, I want him to know how I feel but I can't bring myself to tell him. Anyone got any words of wisdom?

Can Your Business Benefit From a Network Printer Being Installed in it
By: Gerome Jameson | 24/07/2008
With full featured multifunctional printers now in common use in businesses across the globe, many of these same businesses are looking to upgrade to a network printer, rather then using multiple printers. Can your business actually benefit from a network printer, or will you be better served by several independantly operated printers.

Newer Feature Laden Facsimile Machines – Do They Really Do All That They Claim That They Will Do
By: Gerome Jameson | 24/07/2008
Do you remember back when a stereo was called record player and it only had two knobs on it? One was the on-off knob, that also controlled the volume and the other one was the “tone” knob. If you weren't old enough to notice back then, then you also didn't notice that back then a copy machine was just that, a copy machine and that was it. Needless to say, record players are now referred to as “audio electronics” and offices now use multi functional facsimile machines.

A Few Thoughts on Multifunctional Printer Choices and Options

It really wasn't all that many years ago that printers had only one basic function and that was printing. Then, slowly one by one, functions began to be integrated into more modern printers and a new phrase was born out of this trend in printer manufacturing. That phrase is “multifunctional printer” and it is used to describe todays office printers that have several functions contained in them.
