Dear Meg,

The following sentence fragment looks like a dependent clause with a comma splice, you’re also missing a conjunction or two.

"...that would be smashing, Wednesday 'cos I will be at the museum."

Mixed construction notwithstanding, I assume this is supposed to be something like:

"...smashing, not Wednesday..." (incomplete verb)

as opposed to:

"...smashing. Wednesday cos I will not be at the museum...".

Whatever the case, I have no immediate plans for anything serious next week, so any time should be fine.

Use Emails for Viral Marketing
A great way to spread your message that is very economical, quick and if you use it correctly can be viral is through email. People like to use their email and you can use this to your advantage. After all people like to send their friends email. You can send an email message to many people at the same time pretty much instantly.If you can make your email interesting enough and strategic enough, then send it to your possible customers, it is possible that it can be transmitted to their friends and their customers and their friends customers…. Well you get the idea.A great way of to use emails for viral marketing is by using ezines and newsletters. An ezine is just a fancy word for something you send through an email such as an article or any other write up you send to your list such as a report or press release for a new service you may be offering to get them to visit your website.You can make your Newsletters that you email your prospects viral. Give them valuable information, and other points of interest like marketing tips and information that you allow them to pass on to their friends and customers. If you give your prospects good articles or newsletters that they can post on their website with your link in them, the links point back to your website and this can also help you with search engine optimization. Make sure your information isn’t full of your sales copy links or your hard work will have a tragic ending.If your not into writing your own ezines

Dear ****,

I'm beginning to feel that helping Meg is a forlorn hope. I just had a brief encounter with her, she was inspecting Mum’s priory, when I came back from getting coffee with Dave, and well, she seems to have no intention of talking to me on any level other then that of an impertinent school child. How to I dismantle this world she has created in her imagination?

I wasn’t trying to dominate the discourse in the way in which she does, I was making a polite interjection here & there, but if I said it was black she would have said it was white and would have ignored me.

I said it, therefore it must be ‘wrong’ and she will then say anything to make it sound ‘wrong’. The logic seems to be one of "break the weakest link", characteristically this is done by changing the context of what I said or by being deliberately obtuse.

I believe this to be a self defence mechanism, which during ‘normal’ interaction, could be a valid reaction but she seems to be desperately avoiding ANY communication that might may ,in some unspecified way, end in her being seen to be stupid , god forbid. Regardless of the environment, this is a typical Meg style reaction.

What hope in hell ' s chance of being able to do any good do I really have when the result is that I wish I hadn’t bothered. I get this feeling every time I attempt any level of communication with her, except in a state of affairs in which she wants something. :-)

With kind regards,

Michael Hart

Dear ****,

Below is my reply to an email I received from Meg yesterday, needless to say, I'm not overly impressed! Note that I can’t reasonably see anything less than 12pt, she is well aware of my sight issues but has selected a serif typeface in 10pt, (the worst possible thing you can do)!

Why can’t she just get over her ego instead of making poor pretenses, I’ve given her several opportunities to do something, now two weeks later, she only now makes an effort and then only after direct instruction!

Why is it that I make the effort, she makes things needlessly difficult, but I’m expected to forgive/forget her antisocial behavior/recklessness/inferiority complex!

That said, if she can accept me as an equal, and not just because she wants/needs something & I’m not going to just take her word for it (I now assume everything she says is a lie until proven otherwise), I don’t see any problems, but as evidenced by this sign business, she is still under the delusion that she is a law unto herself.

With kind regards,

Michael Hart

Health Insurance in PA - 5 Ways to Save
1. Utilize the tools that are available to make your search easier. (Avoid redundant actions: rather than duplicating your efforts in calling one PA health insurance company after another and filling out information form after information form online use a free PA quote finding service which shows quotes from multiple companies – and it only takes less than 2 minutes).2. Research all prospective PA health insurance companies. (It can be as simple as asking a few friends or coworkers [or even better an independent PA licensed health insurance agent] what they know about a particular company or you can go more in depth and check them out with the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance or look up their rating on AM Best [an independent company that rates the financial strength of insurance companies – remember AM best only rates a company’s financial strength by examining their financial statements and their business practices they do not pass any judgment as to whether a particular company offers comprehensive policies and strong network coverage].3. Re-evaluate your options every year. (Your health insurance needs will change from year to year along with changes in your financial situation and natural family life cycles. If nothing else, compare your current policy against up to date rates to make sure that your current policy is still competitive).4. Take the free money! (If your employer will pay for y

Promoting Your Online Storefront: 5 Easy Tips To Increase Traffic
Making money online requires more than just having a fancy website. Having the greatest product in the world, and a supercharged website that converts at 30% will not make you a single dime if nobody knows you’re out there. If you do not promote your site, you will not get traffic, you will not get subscribers, and thus, you will not make money, it’s as simple as that.There are several things you can do to promote your website, ranging anywhere from the free and creative to the ridiculously expensive. Below are some helpful tips on promoting your site:1). Free forums and ad boards – write a simple, 50-100 word review on your product or service, or website and post it to as many forums you can. Then make some catchy ads and post them anywhere that will allow you to post for free. Be sure to add your link to your signature which will be displayed at the bottom of your posts. Then find the most popular threads on your topic and make posts regularly to them.2.) Write articles – You don’t have to be an expert writer to do this. For a nominal fee, you can pay a ghost writer (a professional) to write your article for you. The content in the articles needs to be well-related to your products and you will need to plug your website somewhere within them, or at least in your biography at the end. Submit the articles to free online article directories.3.) Blogs - Create a free blog (web log), and post your review of your products, including your link. Then "pin

Are There Any Sales Yet - It Takes More Than Making Calls And Giving Out Information
Running or owning a company is not an easy task. The pressure to perform is intense. Payrolls and profits have to be met and satisfied. People have to be hired and treated well. And an overall air of dynamic energy has to be created. For some folks the “running a business” learning curve can be quite emotional.About a year ago, a friend of mine, along with a group of other investors, purchased a sizable company and she became the CEO. The organization is national in scope and reputation, has existing clients, an experienced and trustworthy workforce and, when she bought it, had a significant cash flow.The company’s focus is in the financial consulting area. Its clients are secured through contracts running anywhere from a few months to a few years. They are paid well in exchange for making and/or saving their clients substantial sums of money.With approximately seventy-five contracts in place at the time the company was secured by my friend, she found herself overseeing a staff of about one hundred and monitoring some hefty deals. But it wasn’t long before cracks began to appear in the organization’s foundation. Unbeknownst to my friend (we’ll call her Kelly for the sake of this article), the company who previously owned her organization had not supported it with any sizable sales or marketing effort.Two months after assuming control and with a few contracts at their termination point, she began to realize that there had not been (and was not currently) a susta

Online High School Diploma Programs Allow More Students to Get Ahead
According to the 1999 Current Population Survey of the United States Census, a staggering 55% of individuals at least 25 years old who failed to complete high school or receive a GED reported no earnings for the year. This compares to 25% of those 25 years or older with at least a high school diploma or GED who failed to report earnings for the year.Furthermore, for those who reported earnings in 1999, the median income for individuals who did not complete their high school diploma or GED was $15,334, compared to a median income of $29,294 for those with at least a high school diploma or GED.One of the main reasons for this large discrepancy is that it is becoming standard practice for companies to require all of their employees to have at least a high school diploma or GED. Individuals who did not finish high school or receive a GED are thus not eligible for a large number of jobs in today's job market.A number of online high schools have designed online programs specifically for this problem. These diploma programs are fast and affordable and they are recognized by many companies. Graduates of the programs are able to quickly earn their diploma and begin applying for jobs or positions that were previously beyond their reach.Students in these programs typically take a multi-part high school equivalency test and complete an enrollment application. Once they have passed the test and completed their enrollment application, they can order a high school diploma gra

Subject: Last recourse of the desperate.

Dear ***,

It seems that what you believe is of little consequence, the fact is that I have a better degree that you, and I wrote about your behavioural management issues. As a direct result, an educational psychologist carrying out a programme of research, wrote back confirming what I believed to be true.

Well, he got back to me, after I annotated and published your "reply" (below), but I’m not going to tell you what he wrote. It included some interesting phraseology such as "last recourse of the desperate". He is going to use all this in his thesis as "anecdotal evidence based on others' personal observations".

This was written in ink, in the top margin of the following hand delivered reply, "I am writing you a hand reply as the computer would not send this".

Dear Michael

I find your discussion of my supposed cute (awful word) inferiority complex in e-mails an infringement of my privacy. I also wonder if you equate modesty with inferiority. And when I saw the comments by an Ed Psych

I'm afraid my credulity (sig) was seriously undermined. I have had dealings with many Ed. Pcshs (sig) over the years and in that time I only met two who had any connection with reality.

I must also add that I don't know where he found his subjects, I assume it was in the plural, but in his findings I don't recognise any of the hundreds of teachers I have worked with and met over the last thirty years.

The language above is interesting:
1) "The computer would not send this": I'm not overly impressed, surely a case of a poor workwoman blaming her tools in a laughable attempt to refute responsibility.

2) "Cute (awful word)": This is a classic avoidance tactic, to dodge conversation, where given the choice between dealing with a problem and ignoring it, a typical response is to answer any side issue and refuseing to acknowledge the real problem, thus creating the illusion of action.

3) "Infringement of my privacy": Email is not necessarily subject to protection by intellectual property rights. Even if this were not the case (the content in question is not hers to control), there are exceptions that allow use of copyrighted works of others because they are not considered copying. For example, reproduction of others' work where it is felt that some more important social principles would be violated otherwise.

4) "My credulity (sig) was seriously undermined": This is where the real problem arises, a case of "do as I say, not as I do". How many times have we all heard that expression, never a particularly inspiring credo, this doesn
