Publisher’s Comments
In the last issue, in part, I wrote:
"I think I have found the next google. I believe that so much, I'm helping the affiliate manager write not only the FAQs but marketing segments and page verbiage. To date, there are over 20,000 members and growing by the minute.
Click on: http://www.bigdaddypays.com/sandalwood and check it out. Take advantage of the free membership, look it over and see what you think. Remember, if you do not wish to participate, you will be out zero dollars. But if you do participate, Katie bar the door."
If you did not look it over, you may be missing something pretty exciting. Not only did they add a video segment but a full blown social networking arena as well. Think of myspace and youtube and combine the two, and you have searchbigdaddy's creation.
I am mentioning it again so you don't miss out. BTW, thank you to everyone who joined searchbigdaddy.com. You won't regret it. ----- ----- ----- I personally use this product and said in the last issue it won't be available until Jan 2007. Go to: http://www.karlsformula.us.pn and read the whole page.
Why?
Because right there on the front page Dr. Jon states if you can't afford the $14.95 product price, he'll give you a free bottle. While you are there, take a moment and sign up for free. Like searchbigdaddy.com, karlsformula could be the best thing to come out of 2006. ----- ----- ----- Today's article is actually two stories liberated from i-Cop.org's newsletter. Both relate to the holiday season and both deserve our aggregate (worldwide) attention. Click on the link following the articles and subscribe. ----- ----- ----- If anyone wishes to send a senior friend one of our car magnets, please order before the 20th. I will ship the same business day I receive the order but any orders after 20 Dec are not likely to reach the person by the 25th. Just a friendly reminder. ----- ----- ----- The weather forecasters, plural, in our area are notoriously wrong, incorrect and always in error. The snow we were supposed to get last week never showed up. The rain was barely a sprinkle and the cold air was warm air.
Personally, I like no snow on the ground but the water table has a different view. We are in what is called high desert country and as the name implies, it is dry. But, even Northern Nevada must get moisture in order not to become the U.S. version of the Sahara.
I'm not complaining. I'm just musing over how some people being wrong can sometimes be right for other people. I bet you've experienced it too. ----- ----- ----- Watch this NL for my new website. It will NOT replace senior2senior.org.
Rather, it is a work of mine I've wanted to do for a long time. I registered this name: http://www.wisdomofthesoul.com When I officially launch, I'll give you the dirty low down before I let anyone else know. ----- ----- -----

Gift Card Scam
So, you have those folks you need to buy holiday gifts for who are simply impossible. You decide a gift card is the perfect answer. Maybe.
If you buy Gift Cards from a display rack that has various store cards you may become a victim of theft. Crooks jot down the card numbers in the store. Then, they wait a few days and call to see how much of a balance THEY have on the card.
Once they find the card is "activated", they go online and start shopping. You may want to purchase your card from a customer service person, where they do not have the Gift Cards viewable to the public.
I strongly suggest you read all the details of this scam at Snopes.com. They have lots of good information to protect you.

Child Labor Is Back!
Do you REALLY want to give these people your money?
While you're doing all that shopping, you might want to remember the article I'm about to turn you onto. This stuff just pisses me off beyond all rational thought!
You can BET that Hanes, Wal-Mart, J.C. Penney and Puma will NOT be receiving MY money unless or until this situatiion is recified. And, maybe not even then, JUST because the jack-asses were involved in it at all!

Happy holidays to you and yours. Until next issue,
Tom Koziol
