Journal SPAM: Unique Business Opportunity For The Small Investor

If you have a great idea to make a lot of money in a new business and are broke, you have a big problem, it is difficult to get somebody to invest without you having made any investment your self. Even if your idea is a sound one there is still little chance of getting someone interested in it. The best you can do is get an investor that will give you a job as manager with a few stocks in the company for your idea. But don't give up hope, there is a unique small business that require an investment of less than five hundred dollars. It is in the advertisement business.

  The cost of advertising is more expensive than ever. Many businesses can't afford its high costs, but an inexpensive form of advertising has come to the rescue, it is the human billboard. There is no better way to advertise a local business than having a person walking nearby with a sandwich sign. In some cases it will double the volume of the store that is advertising a sale. Diners and supermarkets have reported increases in their business by having a person with a sandwich sign standing nearby. The costs of this type of advertising is minimal.

There are many companies that supply a variety of billboards that can be put on the back or shoulders. They also supply the banners that go with it. One particular billboard that I love is attached to the back and stands high in the air. It is also very light so even a senior citizen would have no problem carrying it. That one is sure to increase the sales of any business. The billboard complete with the banner is less than two hundred dollars. It is made of aluminum and built to last for years.

Most companies that sell signs will supply a free brochure showing their signs and billboards, and also the many types of advertisements that can be displayed on them. Getting accounts is not difficult if you show the brochure to the customer and explain the benefits of advertising on a human billboard. Once you get your first account and it is successful the rest of the businessmen in your town will want to put their ad on one of your billboards. There will be no problem of getting people to carry a billboard if you pay them fifty bucks for the day. You can charge your customers any price that is fair for your advertisement service.

If you are not completely satisfied with the results, you can discontinue their service. Seniors that need some extra money have a hard time getting anybody to hire them. Employers prefer younger people who will remain with the company for many years. But there is one job that a senior can do as well as a young person and that is to carry a sandwich sign. The pay is not a lot but the job is a steady one. Many businesses are finding out that it is a great and inexpensive way of drawing customers.

Journal SPAM: When You Need A Business Partner

I was always good at outside sales and worked for a soda bottling company selling beverage machines. The pay was not great but I enjoyed the prestige of representing such a world famous corporation. The company offered prizes for the salesmen that sold the most machines and I was often the winner of a large screen TV console or an air conditioner. That was before the company decided to sell their machines by advertisements. They then disbanded their sales force and I was out of a job. After many failures in small business ventures I came to the conclusion that my failures were due to something missing in my ability. I am far from being a stupid man but after months of examining myself I had discovered that I am not talented enough to run a business alone. The answer to my problem would be in teaming up with a talented partner who will make up for what I lack. My problem then was to find a partner that would be interested in teaming up with me. I put an ad in the business section of my local newspaper asking for a business partner that would be interested in buying or starting up a small business. There were many replies to my ad and after months of many luncheon meetings, I got to know a few guys that would make good partners. One of them I thought would be the perfect partner. He had a masters degree from an Ivy league college and was extremely intelligent. But he suffered from dwarfism and had a speech defect. We shortly became partners in a small business. The antique toy train business is supported by the buying and selling of toy trains. The trains are bought through an ad in the newspapers offering to buy old trains. It is the salesman's job to examine the trains at the homes of their owners and buy them. If he is a good at his job he will bring those trains back to the shop at the lowest possible cost. The shop consists of a few workers that restore the trains to mint condition. The manager works in his office on mail order catalogues that display the train collection, and also takes care of the books. The Ideal partnership consists of an outside and an inside man. Even if they both own the company they live in different worlds. The salesman personally contacts potential customers and opens new accounts, without him there is no business. The inside man manages the office and the new business brought in by the salesman. Together they make things work. Our Antique Toy train business was sold for over two million dollars after ten years in business. It was bought by two partners, each had limited abilities. One had Agoraphobia and could not be outside an office for any length of time. The other partner had Claustrophobia and could not be inside an office for any length of time. They were a perfect business team and I am sure they will be successful. melpol

Journal SPAM: Super Tricks For Buying A Small Business

You have just bought a beverage vending machine from the manufacturer that cost you two thousand dollars. The next day a salesman arrives at your home claiming that he can find a location for the vending machine that will earn you two thousand dollars per month. But he wants you to give him five thousand dollars now for his efforts in advance. He is willing to give you a written guarantee that if at the end of six months you are not completely satisfied with the machines earnings your money will be fully refunded. No questions asked. That sounds like a good deal to an inexperienced person, but it is a scam. Nobody including the salesman can predict what that vending machine will earn once it is on location. If he was sure that it would earn that much he would quit his job and go into the vending business himself. His guarantee is worthless because all companies that offer to find locations for vending machines have no assets. They thrive only on broken promises. At the end of six months when your machine is earning next to nothing the salesman and his company will be gone. A golden rule to follow when buying a small business is never believe a seller when they speak about future earnings potential, because that is impossible to predict. If the seller believed the business had great earnings potential, the business would not be sold at the present time. But if you want to take a gamble hoping that the business you are buying has potential that is fine. Never pay the seller for earnings potential because it is an imaginary concept and it is worthless. Before you buy a business have their books checked by a qualified accountant with experience in the type of business you are buying. You must be sure of what the earnings are because that is what you are paying for. Nothing else is more important. Be wary of being told that there is untaxed income from the business that the seller is hiding from the government. If you count on that to pay off your notes and it is not there you will go broke. A person selling a business has a tremendous advantage over the buyer. The seller knows the business and believes he is making a wise move. The buyer knows only what he sees and most likely is overlooking the vulnerabilities of what is being bought. Even if the business is a sound one, and the price you are paying is too high, you have a big problem. If you can't meet the notes the business will have to be returned to its former owner with you taking a big loss. Some owners are happy to see that happen because now they can look for another sucker. Once you buy the business it is up to you to improve its earnings, because if you don't the notes you are paying leaves you with very little. That means that you must be a better businessman than the former owner. If you are better, you have bought a good business. melpol

Journal SPAM: Living With Your Parents Again

Retired parents living comfortably on their social security check might be in for a big surprise if the recession gets much worse. One or two of their children might be out of a job and need money to survive until they can find one. Many parents will pay the rent and food bills until the economy returns to normal. If you can help them it is still your responsibility to do so, but if you don't have the money, they might have to come home and live with you. A person returning home after so many years away is sure to be severely depressed. It would be your duty as a parent to make them feel welcome. It is common for a parent to take in their child after college. They need time to find a job and get their own place to live. But it is much different if your child is now past forty and out of work. It is difficult for a person that age to be hired when so many younger people are looking for the same job. Most parents will let their son or daughter return to the room they grew up in hoping that one day they will find work. But many parents are struggling to support themselves, they unfortunately are not in the position to help. They will have to let their child go to a shelter for the homeless until they get someone that will hire them. Homeless shelters are now occupied basically by Non-whites. But if a major recession hit the country, whites will make up the majority of the homeless. Many will pour into the retirement homes where their parents are now living and beg for refuge. The rest will search for distant relatives or childhood friends in order to stay out of a shelter. Those with young children will have to carry an almost overwhelming burden. I only hope that our economy will improve and parents won't have to deal with the problem of a returning son or daughter. But if more people start losing their jobs many will not be able to afford the high rent that they are now paying. They will have no choice except to call up their parents and ask for their old room back. Millions of others without a job or without any money or parents to help them, will have to scratch for survival. melpol

Journal SPAM: Expensive Gasoline Will Change Our Lifestyle

Get ready for the biggest tragedy in American history. If the price of gasoline ever goes above five bucks a gallon, millions of gas guzzling automobiles will be worthless. Filling up a full tank will then cost over one hundred bucks. With a recession coming on and the unemployment rate rising many of those gas guzzlers will be unaffordable. Most will have to be turned into scrap metal. Many workers who can't afford a new car will have to piggyback with a neighbor that is traveling in their direction or walk to the bus stop.

People looking to buy a new car want fuel efficiency before anything else. They are the only cars on display at the auto shows. The sales of motorcycles have also increased because most of them can travel over fifty miles on a gallon of gas. You can expect within five years to see as many motorcycles on the highway as autos if the price of gas keeps rising.

There is no solution for the problem of high cost gasoline. Labor and refinery costs are rising combined with its limited supply. The hard facts have to be faced that gasoline costs will continue to be high. But with flexibility motorists can get used to a smaller more fuel efficient automobile or even a motorcycle.

The high gasoline costs might make it too expensive to travel a long distance to shop at the mall. That would be good news for the small businessman. It would bring back the "Mom and Pop" stores to your neighborhood. It would even help you to get to know your neighbors better. Big businesses might start opening up close by in order to be near their employees. There would be less congestion on the highway and cleaner air.
The high price of gasoline might be a blessing in disguise and create a better lifestyle for most of us.

Journal SPAM: You Too Can Own A Franchise

I was disgusted with myself after losing close to a half a million dollars of the two million my uncle Henry left me. It wasn't because I was a stupid man but only because I was picking the wrong businesses to go into. On the advice of a close friend I went to a business broker whose experience spanned over twenty five years. He was a man in the mid- sixties with the look of wisdom painted on his face. After filling out an application which asked me about my business experience and assets he carefully studied it. Tears began flowing down his cheeks and he said that he was going to help me. He said that my problem of becoming a business success was based on my fear of investing a large sum of money. Then he reached into his desk and showed me a colorful brochure, it was about a new TV Plasma franchise. It had photos of their flagship store in a large western city. The store was beautiful and so was its merchandise. I asked him to tell me more about it. He said that it must be seen and the company would pay my airfare and a two day stay at a luxury hotel. I soon was on an Airjet and shortly afterward I bought a TV Plasma franchise for seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The TV Plasma franchise store was opened in the center of my cities business district. After the opening ceremony in which the national anthem was sung I cut the ribbon and was in business. I had a fully trained staff of three employees and all I had to do was to watch over them. We sold four flat screened 40 inch plasma television sets with a price tag of eighteen hundred dollars on our opening day. After closing time I took my staff out to dinner for a celebration. The second week in business we sold only two thirty inch plasma flat screens and one forty inch one. It was a bad week and hopefully we would do better in the future. Sales never got better and with a rent of ten thousand dollars a month I was going into my personal funds to keep the store open. After nine months of almost no business I threw in the towel and declared bankruptcy. I sold out my inventory to pay the creditors. My losses were over a million dollars and a broken spirit. After losing most of the money my uncle Henry left me in his will I came to the conclusion that I was not born to be a businessman. I asked my old boss for my handyman job back. He hired me on the condition that I would never discuss my business failures with him. Since he was in business himself he needed to have a positive attitude. I agreed and became a successful employee. Melpol http://www.associatedcontent.com/melpol

Journal SPAM: Learning To Buy A Small Business The Hard Way

My last few attempts to go into a small business were failures. I lost over a hundred thousand dollars of the money I inherited from my uncle Henry. But now I had more business experience and was going to give it another shot. There was a newspaper stand for sale that I noticed while reading the business opportunity section. It was in a commercial building and the owner was asking one hundred and twenty five thousand for it. The ad also said that it was a small gold mine. Since I am not a quick learner I thought it was something that I could handle. The next day I had a meeting with the owner. He told me a sad story about his health. In the last six months he had two heart attacks and the doctor told him that he should retire or he would have another one. His wife was begging him to retire despite how good business was. So he made a decision to put his newspaper stand up for sale. He said that he also sold coffee, candy and cigarettes and that his income was over one hundred thousand dollars a year. But in order to avoid paying taxes he declared only twenty two thousand on his tax returns. He also said that the top three floors of the building were empty, and there was an insurance company with over two thousand employees that were interested in renting it. When that happened the volume of his newspaper stand would double. He demanded cash for the business. The next morning our lawyers met and I handed him a bank check for one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. Business was pretty slow and I thought it was because of the summer when lots of people were on vacation. It was only when the summer was over and there was no pick up in business that I became worried. But I thought things would work themselves out when the insurance company rented the top three floors. With their two thousand employees my newspaper stand would do well. The top three floors were rented by a company that imported saunas from China and they used it as a warehouse. They had only thirty employees instead of the two thousand I had expected. Latter I found out that there was never any insurance company that was negotiating for the top three floors. I was also told that the former owner of my business purchased a supermarket. He tricked me into thinking that he was in poor health so he could sell me his business. I was in a state of shock and out one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. A few weeks latter I sold the business for ten thousand dollars and I was lucky to get that. If my uncle Henry knew how stupid I was he never would never have left me in his will. But experience could turn stupidity into wisdom and I wasn't going to give up until I became a successful entrepreneur. The next few weeks were spent reading the business opportunity ads. I had a gut feeling that the next business I bought would be a good one. melpol http://www.associatedcontent.com/melpol

Journal SPAM: Learning Small Business

Having over two million dollars at twenty five years old is a blessing. It all happened after my rich uncle Henry died and had me in his will. I was a single guy living alone in a one bedroom apartment and had a job working for a building contractor as a handyman. I gave my boss two weeks notice and quit the job. Now it was a challenge to go on to bigger and better things. With no business experience I had to learn the hard way and that was to go into a small business and hope for the best. I read the business opportunity sections every day and personally examined a few businesses that were for sale. I then found one that interested me, and bought it for seventy thousand dollars cash. The guy that sold me the house explained its potential. He said that each of the ten furnished rooms could easily be rented for five hundred dollars a month. That would give me an income of sixty thousand dollars a year. The neighborhood was bad but that made my investment more promising. All I had to do was come around once a month and pick up the rent. He said if I put up a sign on the front door saying that rentals were available there would be no problem getting tenants. I was happy to have made such a good purchase and shook his hand at the closing of the sale. I put out a sign on the front door saying that furnished rooms were for rent. A few hours later I had a customer, he was an unshaven guy about forty years old. I told him that the rent would be five hundred dollars a month. He said he lived on a small disability check and could only afford three hundred dollars for rent. I said that I could not rent it at such a low price. He sadly walked away. The same thing happened all day long. Nobody could afford the rent. After a few weeks, I finally found ten good men that agreed on the price of my rentals. They all moved in on the first of the month. Now all I had to do was come around once a month and collect the rent. The first of the month came around and I happily arrived at my small business investment to collect the rent. Seven of the rooms were empty, the occupants were gone without even leaving a note. Two others said that they were broke and that they would make it up to me in the following month. The last one I saw gave me three hundred bucks and said that was all he could afford. I sold the house for twenty thousand dollars and chalked it up to a bad learning experience. I still was a wealthy guy and it was time to move on. I picked up the business opportunity section of my local newspaper. It was on to the next small business adventure. Melpol http://www.associatedcontent.com/melpol

Journal SPAM: Going Broke In The Wrong Small Business

Becoming your own boss is the dream of almost every person that feels they are underpaid or unjustly treated on their job. Not having to kiss the ass of a superior employee every day is a step toward personal freedom. Many accept their slavish fate and go on doing what they hate. But other more adventurous people go into a small business hoping that one day they will become their own boss. Unfortunately only fifty percent of them are still in business after five years, the rest fulfill the dream of becoming their own boss. But I will tell you about a small business where ninety percent of investors fail in the first year, and that is in the vending machine business. The salesman encouraged me into buying ten candy dispensing machines costing me fifteen thousand dollars. He promised that once on location I will be earning more than two thousand dollars a month. That meant that my investment would be returned in less than a year. It sounded great and I was sure of being successful. My fifteen thousand dollar investment was delivered, and I proudly examined my candy machines to see if they were in good condition. They worked perfectly and I was sure that I got a good deal. Now all I had to do was follow the salesmen's advice and put them on location. First I tried the motels and found that all of them had gigantic candy vending machines combined with ones that dispensed coffee and cold beverages. They were owned by a large corporation that had its machines in all of the motels. My little candy vending machine had no chance of being given a spot to stand. I then tried to locate them in beauty parlors and gas stations, and within three weeks all my ten machines were on location. A month later it was collection time and I happily went out to collect the money in the machines. At the end of a hard day of collecting and replacing a few candy bars, I was rewarded with twenty two dollars and fifty cents. Tears flowed down my cheeks. I called up the guy that sold me the machines and told him my problem. He said that what I did was correct, but I had to give the machines a chance. People will start to use them after a few months. Six months later I called again and told him how bad business was, he said he could help me recover my loss. My problem was that the locations I picked were bad. He said that he would get better ones for me at a cost of seventy five hundred dollars. He said the results were guaranteed. I had no choice but to agree. After three months of earning next to nothing I called him---his phone was disconnected and I was broke. We all learn from experience, I learned not to buy candy vending machines. That mistake cost me over twenty thousand dollars. I also learned that the guy that sold me the machines and the people that manufactured them are better at business than I can ever be. melpol http://www.associatedcontent.com/melpol

Journal SPAM: My Trick Of Finding A Better Job

One of the worst experiences for a guy, is to be out of a job. Men since the beginning of time has always been providers but without a job a guy can't even provide for himself. If you are out of work and are tired of searching for a job there is hope for you. Apply for a job at a messenger service---they are always hiring. The pay is not great, they usually start you off as an independent contractor. Which means that they don't have to pay you minimum wages. You get paid by the distance you travel to deliver the message. Most messages are within walking distance, they take about an hour to deliver and return to the office. That delivery pays only three bucks. Some times you have to take a train or bus and wont get back for two hours. That job pays seven bucks. It's not a lot of money for the work you do, but it is better than sitting home and brooding. You can turn that bad job into an opportunity to find a good one. But you have to do more than just drop off the messages at the hundreds of working places that you go to. You must be friendly to the receptionist or boss that is receiving the message. They will see you quite often. Let them get to know you. Don't be surprised if they offer you a better job. A guy out of work sends out hundreds of resumes and very few of them get answered. When they are, you will only get a quick interview, there is little time to get to know you personally. But as a person that works for a messenger service they see you many times. After awhile they might get to like you and understand that you are being underpaid. Then you will be given a full interview and get a good chance of being given a new job. If you are hired, you then can go back to the messenger service and thank the people that you formerly worked with, for giving you the opportunity to get a real job. My information is accurate because I found a good job by starting out working for a messenger service. But I made sure that I spoke with all the people that I handed the message. Some didn't have the time for conversation but they were all polite. With time and patience somebody in there will like and help you. Melpol http://www.associatedcontent.com/melpol

Journal SPAM: Migrant Workers Can Harvest The Cigarette Butt Crop

Keeping clean goes beyond our home. It is just as important to have clean streets, parks and beaches as it is to have a clean apartment to live in. Every where you go there is a nasty looking cigarette butt on the ground. Not only do they look bad but they smell. When I try to lay out my blanket on the beach there is no spot that is free of them. It takes me over twenty minutes to clear the area before I can lay down my blanket. Even when I am at rest trying to look at the ocean those dam cigarette butts come into view. They are everywhere. I no longer want to go to a cigarette littered beach but enjoy the sunshine in my rear yard. The trips to the mall are also spoiled, because parking lots are full of twisted and flattened butts. The ugliest ones have a brown filter at the end, they look like poop when they are bunched together. But poop is better because it at least dries up and disappears. Something has to be done about this terrible situation because it is destroying the beauty of our country. I am retired and have chosen to spend my last years doing something useful for the country that was so good to me. Every morning I go out into the streets with two burlap bags and a pick. I don't return until those two bags are filled with cigarette butts. Some times it is a twelve hour day and I never take a rest. Sunday I spend examining the sidewalks and gutters preparing myself for the job that has to be done the next day. When I return home I am happy to know that my day was spent helping to make my city a cleaner place We stand helplessly by and watch people throw butts out car windows or just flip them on the sidewalk. But most of us are not aware of the real danger that cigarette butts pose.. A lit cigarette can ignite a forest fire Cigarette butts can take 25 years to break down due to cellulose acetate in the filters Butts can release toxic substances including arsenic, cadmium and lead into water as they breakdown Animals sometimes mistake cigarettes for food which can give them digestive problems. Besides that, cigarette butts are an eyesore. Each year hundreds of thousands of migrant workers cross our borders to harvest the fruit and vegetable crop, and after they are done they happily return to where they came from. They have done a great job and we are thankful for it. But their job in not fully done, they have left the most important part of the harvest untouched. Trillions of cigarette butts have not been picked up and put into the burlap bags they carry on their shoulders. Our government must give them permission to continue their harvest. There has to be cigarette butt disposal sites across the nation where those migrant workers can drop off their burlap bags of butts. There they will be paid for their harvest. When the harvest is complete, they will happily go back to their country and families. Like all harvest workers they will return next year to harvest a trillion new cigarette butts. I wake up early in the morning, and with my burlap bag and pick, I spend the day gathering cigarette butts. But I am not alone, because there are others like myself that hate those nasty looking butts all over the ground. We have formed a team, hired a flatbed truck and visit new areas each day. People greet us everywhere we go, they too hate those lousy stinking cigarette butts in their neighborhood. But unfortunately we are making no progress, as soon as we pick up a butt another one replaces it. We must turn to Mexico and their millions of harvest workers to pick up the trillions of cigarette butts that lie untouched on our streets, beaches and parks. We must do it quickly before there is no place that is not filled with that stinking brown tipped litter. Melpol http://www.associatedcontent.com/melpol

Journal SPAM: Protection Against Abusive Women

Most men have been physically or emotionally abused by women. They are more likely to be hurt by women then injured in any other way. But due to the mindset of influential people this fact is ignored and seldom discussed in the media. A victimized male who registers a complaint is called a wimp and is treated with disrespect. A man is supposed to stand his ground and be in a more powerful position than a woman but this has proven to be impossible. Women have obtained so much power that most men have become their slaves. The most common method used by women to abuse a man a man is by enslaving him. They do this best by having his child. He is forced by law to support that child or go to prison. In most cases the man chooses to live with the women and tries to become a good father and provider. If the man does not meet her expectations she will punish him severely. Many men have been beaten with weapons and are constantly being verbally abused. A man has little choice but to accept that punishment and try to meet her demands. In most cases he cannot afford to leave because he has the legal responsibility to continue supporting her and the child. The free dinner obtained by single women paid for by lonely men is the most popular form of abuse. Many women use dating services and personal advertisements for the purpose of getting a free full course dinner in an expensive restaurant. They are called: "Dinner Hookers" by men who have dated them. I have heard women comparing notes about the way they have bilked men out of everything from jewelry to expensive vacations. They laugh and are proud of their accomplishments. The victim of this type of abuse is usually an honest and lonely man that is trying to make a romantic connection. The predator salivates at a naïve mans vulnerability and does everything in her power to empty his pockets. Not all women should be condemned for the faults of the greedy ones. There are good women available. Also there is nothing wrong with a man picking up the tab for a sincere woman, but not for a woman that is interested in nothing but a free ride. There are many that defend the cunning, shrewd, and selfish woman. They say that nature designed her to be that way so she can provide for her children. But the main goal of the average women is her pleasure and security. She is forced by the law to feed, clothe, and educate her children. Some are only interested in drugs and alcohol or desert their families and are unfit mothers. They waste money needed for the children on fancy clothing and expensive cosmetics. An honest and reliable husband that objects to such wanton behavior will often be physically abused by this kind of woman and if he complains to anyone about his treatment he will be called a wimp. The only defense a man has against an abusive woman is by keeping his distance. The law and public opinion are on her side. A women's word is believed no matter what her background is. She can abuse you in any way she desires and get away with it. Nobody will believe your side of the story. A woman can get caught cheating on her husband and little is said, but if a man gets caught he will never hear the end of it. If a man forgets to get a birthday gift for his women all hell will break loose. A mans birthday is celebrated by a fifty cent card if he is lucky. The restaurants are packed on mother's day and empty on father's day. If a man wants to stay home and watch a ball game on his day off he is called a couch potato. His love making is criticized as being too cold or too hot. He is sure to develop an inferiority complex. These are only a few of the ways men are being abused by women. There is no advantage for a man to have children. Life is full of a million other things to do. Men have a right to devote as much time as they likes in the pursuit of pleasure. The company of women is one of those pleasures but it can also become a painful experience. But there are ways to help you get the most out of your relationships and avoid the pain. Getting a vasectomy is one of them. It will guarantee that you will remain childless. The procedure only takes thirty minutes. After a vasectomy, a man still has erections and ejaculates. The amount of fluid in his ejaculations is not different, except there is no sperm. The fluid looks and smells the same. A man's hormones, beard, and voice do not change. His sex drive and ability to have sex do not change. The only change is that he cannot make a woman pregnant. No women will be able to claim that you are the father of her child and hold you hostage for child support. The money you earn will be all yours. Men as well as women are self seeking and once you understand that you will less likely be a victim of abuse. Never give more than you get in a relationship because your kindness will be understood as weakness or naivety. Always remember that you are both entitled to respect. If you don't get any it is time to break off. Self acceptance is the greatest defense against a partner that tries to degrade or humiliate you. If you are not comfortable with yourself you will be open for abuse and you will get it. A good relationship is always possible and if you get one hold on tight. melviiin1@verizon.net

Journal SPAM: Helping Women Get The Top Man

Today's western women have been liberated from economic necessity and have the freedom to obtain all that is possible. They want the best of everything and won't settle for less. The finest and most expensive items are designed to meet the tastes of women. This new freedom has expanded to a women's choice of a quality man, and she knows who they are. If a man is rich and also attractive he is the ladies choice. Women only want high quality men in their bedrooms; if that type of man is not available they would rather sleep alone. A recent survey shows that ninety percent of women desire only ten percent of men. That ten percent lacks honesty, reliability or loyalty, but today's women would rather have a rich or attractive scoundrel in bed then a man of good character. An exceptionally handsome or wealthy male child will become accustomed to having all his needs met with the least amount of frustration. If his parents are wealthy his playroom will be filled with the latest and most expensive toys. Photo and paintings of him will decorate the walls in every room. Even with poor parents an exceptionally handsome male child will be showered with adoration and be given all that is possible. He will soon get to realizes that he was born to be a prince and has been chosen to have the best of everything, and that includes all the women he desires. If you antagonize or frustrate a choice male in any way you will lose him. He is used to quality time and will not accept less. You as women must be very careful not to upset or disturb his tranquility. If you want to fulfill his desires listen carefully to every word that comes out of his mouth for a clue. If he is in the mood to make love don't hesitate because he is not used to frustration. Make love to him in a way that is completely pleasing. Express your satisfaction and tell him that he is the greatest lover you ever had. Make no appointments for him to see you again; if you do he will not keep them. Tell him that he can call you anytime he wishes, and you will stop whatever you are doing to see him. Many women even if they have a choice male as a lover are still lonely because he seldom calls, you must realize that he cannot see you on a steady basis. Repetition bores an Alpha Male and makes him unhappy, but he will get back to you in due time. Don't panic because it is possible for you to fill up your spare time with another top lover. Use the same methods that you used to catch the guy you now love. All Alpha Males think the same way because they have no tolerance for frustration. Treat him like a prince and he will always return. Be determined combined with flexibility and you will never be lonely because there will be a different attractive or rich guy in your bedroom night and day. If you are unhappy because you feel that your boyfriends are using you for their own crazy desires and forget about you after they leave your bedroom. Don't despair because you can balance out your life so you will be on the receiving end rather than being forced to be a giver all the time. There are lots of honest, reliable, and loyal men around. They are givers and will wine and dine you. They rarely fit into the category of Alpha Males but they will fill the gaps left by your boyfriends. You can meet them at social events or church dances. They are almost always alone and have a sad looking face. Ask for a dance and then press you body up close. Exchange telephone numbers so you can call them when your main men are busy. You are sure to get many dinner dates and long lasting friendships. But don't be surprised if many of them complain about your coldness. They are human and even if they are not choice men they also require love. If the thought of making love to any of those ordinary guys revolts you, for the sake of human decency get drunk and give all of them a good time. The advice that I give comes from my mission to help all woman fulfill their romantic desires, it is all a part of a higher plan. All free females are designed by the heavenly father to search for the leaders in their group. It might appear to be unfair to the ordinary guy, but the designer of the universe is not always kind. I have presented the profile of a choice male and as much as his character is flawed women cant help but be attracted to him. He will always be welcome in all women's bedrooms despite his selfish attitude. GOOD KARMA has given him a magnetism that women find irresistible. Most women will deny that they are so vulnerable to such carnal desires but the truth remains that they are. I have compassion for the honest, reliable, and loyal men that don't fit into the category of being a choice male. The ordinary man will have to suffer the pain of being treated poorly, because most men have no choice and must have the company of a woman. I am a student and follower of an Eastern Religion that teaches the law of Karma; it says that your suffering in this world is caused by your ancestor's sins. But if you suffer nobly in this world you will be rewarded in the next. My advice to those ordinary men that have to suffer in this world is to do it with dignity. If necessary be a slave to your woman and accept what little crumbs are left over. Because in the next world you will return as an Alpha Male or Rich Man and have the choice of as many women as you desire. They will be your slaves and it will be your GOOD KARMA to enjoy them. melviiin1@verizon.net

Journal SPAM: Humans Are Better Than Dogs

My dog Queen was the best companion a guy could have until my housekeeper took her place. This all happened by accident and I am glad that Queen was replaced by a better companion. Before this turn of events Queen gave me everything that a guy could hope for. She happily greeted me at the door with wet kisses when I returned from my job. I was never alone while watching television because she was always on my lap. At bedtime she impatiently waited to share my bed. We snuggled up and quickly fell asleep. We made the perfect couple. My rooms were so overloaded with junk and dust that even Queen found it to be uncomfortable. She avoided the debris and was having difficulty finding a spot where she could stretch out. If it wasn't for her I would have left things alone, but out of compassion I looked through the telephone book and found the number of an agency that supplied cleaning ladies. The next morning this woman rang my bell and she was ready to go to work. Her name was Annie and it was hard to believe that she was only a cleaning lady. Her hips were built low and she had a great figure. When she bent over to dust off my bookcase I couldn't believe the thoughts that entered my mind. She also was an energetic worker and finished the first room in only a few hours. I prepared her lunch and while we ate we spoke about so many things that I forgot to feed Queen. I was awakened from the conversation by an unrecognized growling; it was coming from beneath the table. I bent over and looked underneath, it was Queen. She was showing horrible looking fangs that I had never seen before. I asked Annie to finish her lunch and go back to work while I fed Queen. Annie Had told me that she was finishing up on her masters degree at college and she was now on her summer break. House cleaning was a good way to make some extra money. She told me that even though I was much older than her she found me to be very interesting and appealing. I asked Annie to stay at my place until the job was finished and she agreed. We were watching television together and Queen was on my lap. The thought entered my mind that I was with two women. Annie and Queen were those two women and I smiled with delight Annie soon moved in with me and I shortly realized that I had two women in the house competing for my love. No longer was Queen on my lap while I was watching television because Annie loved to put her head there. I suspected that she did it to antagonize Queen who occupied that spot for years. She also chased Queen out off my bed when it came time to make love. Things came to a climax when Queen bit her on the ankle at dinner time when Annie demanded to be served first. It became a constant battle between the two women and Annie became the winner when Queen disappeared. I missed her but peace was at last restored to my home. One day Annie and I were walking through the park when we came upon a familiar sight, it was Queen with his head on the lap of a bum .They were happily stretched out on a park bench. Queen looked up and gave a vicious looking growl. We turned around and left the park. It was obvious we had hurt Queen deeply but were glad she found a better man to be with. Annie and I now have two pet Siamese cats and both are happy animals. They are male and female. When we are watching television both of them share the couch with us. The male prefers Annie's lap and the female mine. We even take them both to bed with us. But when it is time to make love the cats instinctively leave the bedroom. We also return the favor when ever they become romantic. I often think of Queen and what she meant to me. She was a good woman and tried her best to please me. But as hard as she tried she was limited. Queen could not speak or make love in a human way. I know she would have gladly done both if possible. Annie had an unbeatable advantage over Queen. She did every thing that Queen could do only better. Even if she had no tail to wag she greeted me at the door after a hard day on the job with wet kisses. I also never had to walk or feed her; she could do them both without any help. My advice to dog owners who think that their dogs are more desirable than humans is to compare their qualities in fairness. If you do the dog will be the loser. I agree that dogs make better companions than many humans. But I am sure that if you shop around long enough you will find a human that will replace your dog. There are many people that are looking for a home and a person to look up to and serve. All you have to do is feed and house them. You will shortly fall in love and realize that you made the right choice by getting rid of your dog. melviiin1@verizon.net .
