Happy New Year! Cat-loving Home-business Persons!

It's that time of year again; letting an old yer go, making
resolutions which are rarely kept, being glad spring is on the
way!

Our trip to Nebraska was great, though it totally wore us out and
bugged the cats.  Our daughter, Lynden, is now a graduate, with
honors, and is in that maze of job-hunting.

My sister is now remarried, living in a new, large home, and
things are looking up for them.
We spent precious time with our family and with friends we hadn't
seen for years--literally!

And now here we are, back home, ready to get the first issue of
CATLINES out to you.

MAJOR DECISION:

I have made a decision to give honorable mention to companies who
respond affirmatively to making their websites/books/other info
accessible to blind persons, and to further list any who have
been less than cooperative.  I think our cat-loving friends need
to
know which businesses are worth our time and which are not.  I am
not asking for a boycott of those who do not comply, however,
extra praise and buying products from those who are open to
accessibility issues might just make a difference both in
compliance and in noncompliance--and in having a heart.

Just as I would not recommend any companies to you who are
knowingly negative in any way to animals, the same goes for
humans. I consider unwillingness in the realm of accessibility to
be quite negative.  And so do the cats!

Please understand that MEOWS and REOWS apply *only* to anyone
whom
I have personally contacted, given their subsequent response or
lack thereof.  In addition, I am not expecting total perfection,
by technical or legislated standards; just what is helpful for
the
ordinary reader who uses a screenreader, braille, audiocassette,
or other means of reading the printed word.

Let it further be understood that I am not selfishly,
me-orientedly, doing this!  What works better for me will work
better for many other folks, some of whom are not assertive
enough
to ask.

So here we go!!!

This month's MEOW (praise) goes to:

http://www.albertsons.com
for making an accessible version of their website, in addition to
the main one which doesn't work so well.

http://www.DropShipSource.comWho
responded immediately (they hold
the record so far) to my requests, working directly with their
webmasters to make what had been an accessible site "upgraded"
to inaccessible, great once more!

http://www.housecat.com
Whose original site was great, but when they "upgraded" it became
lousy!  It took longer for HouseCat to come around, but hey! they
did it!  And we are now an affiliate (I refused to become an
affiliate with them until correction was made, though I did not
plainly say so.

to Niki Behrikiss Shanahan for making her book "eternal Animals"
available to me to read as an attachment;

To Josh Hinds, who, though concerned about having links stolen
from his page, is willing to make separate arrangements so that a
blind person can listen to his audios (the buttons are not
labeled in text, so a screenreader does not locate them.)

http://www.getmotivation.com
To Randy Dr. Proactive Gilbert, to whom we wish "blue skies and
rainbows," whose site is already totally accessible, so that we
can hear his great Inside Success shows:

http://TheInsideSuccessShow.com

There are several who have intentions of doing so, such as eBay,
whose announcements will be made as soon as the accessibility
comes into effect and this editor is made aware of them.  If
yours is accessible and you don't see your deserved MEOW praise
here at CATLINES, PURRhaps it is simply due to my being unaware.

So tell me!

Tell me who isn't complying, too--such folks either need to be
consciously made aware of the situation, in cases when one really
doesn't know any better; or, those who know better but consider
accessibility as low priority  .

This month's REOW (nays)
To Tom Hua:
http://www.ebookwholesaler.net
Who was too afraid of his materials being stolen to allow for a
more-accessible version of his ebooks--and I am a member, no
less!

to Barbara Thompson, whose weight-loss book is only in print and
I am advised that they have no current plans to offer an
accessible
version, but if they do, it will be announced in their
newsletter.

They do have a CD which is accessible, however, this is quite an
abridged version of the 250-page book.  I suggested to her
company
that not only would an audio of the entire book be great for
those
of us who use screenreaders, it would also be great for those who
are listening as they drive, work out, etc.  So, the up side is
that we have planted a seed.  This can be quite important.  You
never know.  She might end up with a MEOW yet!

To Ken Evoy, I am sad to say this because his materials are so
great!  but his staff has advised me that accessibility to blind
persons is not a top priority.  When they finish all the more
pressing work, they'll consider it.  I've heard this kind of "no"
before.  Again, a seed has been planted and Dr. Evoy is known for
his being positive.

May I say once more, Happy New (or is that Mew) Year!

I am a contributing author to Allen and Linda Anderson's "God's
Messengers: what animals tell us about the Divine."  Kabootle has
been commemorated once more!  You may find the book at your local

Barnes and Noble or other book stores.

One's ad is much more likely to place in CATLINES if it is
composed so as to keep with our catly theme.  Thanks.

(Don't you just *love* people who don't practice what they
preach?)  lol.  I'm thinking on this one!  One snag is that
some companies want us to use their ads and our catly
creativity could be frowned upon in a not-at-all aMEWSing way.

Mikey and the Canned Food
by Lauren Merryfield
(A Mikey story.)

The easiest way we could find to help all three cats, Jaspur,
Mikey and Gabrielle, adapt to Gabbie's need of canned food was to
allow all three of them to eat whatever we bought for Gabrielle's
specific needs.

Before now, as they were eating only dry food, my husband and I
didn't pay much attention to the order in which the cats ate,
since the food is always out, so there is no "me first!"
mentality occurring.

Not so with the canned food which is only offered at supper time
and only left out for a while (unless we forget.)  Now it was
interesting to discover how the three of them managed to share
one can of food.

Jim and I rarely interfere with our cats' interactions, as we
believe it is up to them to create their own shared environment,
to the extent that they can.

It appears that Gabrielle and Jaspur appear first; Gabbie eating.
Jaspur watches and waits, sometimes joining her at the can/bowl;
sometimes leaving, knowing there will be food left for him.

Mickens, on the other hand, is our most laid-back and evidently,
most unassertive of the three.  He shows up, stands back, leaves,
and I feel sad for him.

I do smell kitty-food breath on him later, so I know he does get
some canned food, but I worried the other day that always being
last might hurt his feelings and perhaps I needed to "help," or
is it "interfere?"

Last night we had run out of the regular-sized cans of food, so
we offered a smaller kitten-food-sized can.  Gabbie and Jaspur
fell into place; so did Mikey--standing off a ways--waiting.

I figured that opening a second can would be okay, since these
were smaller, so I offered a second can to Mikey who sniffed,
pawed around, and finally began eating.

Immediately, Gabbie made an about-face, positioning herself to
eat from Mikey's can.  I put my hand in front of her, keeping her
backed off from Mikey and his can.

Mickens ate what he wanted and left.

This afternoon, I heard an unusually terrible scuttle among the
three of them.  It was the worst-sounding fight I've heard, to
the extent that I raised my voice and stamped my foot, both of
which are understood as "no."  They quit momentarily but soon
were at it again.What was this about?  I wondered.

I finally got it!  Yesterday I had interfered with their
hierarchy, shown preferential treatment to Mikey in front of
the other two, and they were all three totally unimpressed.

They were not only interested in showing each other, but also
their Mom, just how PURRturbed these 3 little cats could be!

At supper time, I presented the usual one larger can, left them
to their usual manner, but asked Jim to watch them so I had proof
that Mikey, though last, was okay about it.

Jim later told me that Mikey did come later for his share of food
and seemed just fine.  Evidently the three of them have figured
out how much food there is in a can, how much each kitty will eat
so that there is enough left for the others, and they have it all
worked out.

If only some humans could work things out so well!

@@@@@@@

society is of two minds about pets. "We profess great love for
companion animals; we have nearly 60 million cats and almost that
many dogs," he said.

"We all know people for whom animals are a huge part of their
lives. But we are less than stellar in what we do with unattended
animals."

One who really cares about it is Marilyn Sansom, an accountant
and writer in Charleston, W. Va. In 1993, she became involved
in the issue when she rescued a cat named Ophelia. During a
blizzard, Ophelia's owner died without having made any
arrangements for the cat. Ophelia was taken in by a neighbor
who quickly discovered that she didn't like cats. So she gave
Ophelia to a young man who worked in a local grocery store.
He kept Ophelia locked in a room with a caged python, which
terrified the cat.

Finally, the young man put an ad in a local paper to try to get
rid of Ophelia. Mrs. Sansom responded and has cared for the cat,
now 13, ever since. In 1999, she rescued another cat, a Siamese
named Simon, whose 80-year-old owner had also died. Simon was
sick and in a shelter - and about to be euthanized - when Mrs.
Sansom stepped in.

The stories of Ophelia and Simon are recounted in "Ophelia's
Winter" (1stBooks), which Ms. Sansom wrote in 2000 under the
pseudonym Sarah Ann Hill, which was her great-grandmother's name.

The book offers practical advice for ensuring that someone will
care for your pet when you are no longer able to.

"Arrangements really need to be made in advance," Ms. Sansom
said.

"The pet owner and the person who agrees to care for a pet need
to know what they're getting into.

"It's amazing," she added. "People leave wills that are very
detailed about rings and even inexpensive watches. But they make
no provisions for their pets."

THIS EDITOR'S ADDENDUM

I received a sad note just the other day from Marilyn (Sarah)

Received from:

Marilyn Sansom

1-12-2004

"Saying good-bye to a very special cat"

Dear Lauren:

Please find enclosed, the "Pet In Memoriam" for Ophelia from the
"Charleston Gazette."

She passed away on 12-20-2003 of complications from diabetes.

Needless to say, Christmas was not the same without her.

Pet In Memoriam #116

Ophelia
1988-2003
[picture of Ophelia, probably gold with dark stripes]

Each life is a miracle that changes the world and leaves it a
better place than it was before

-- Author Unknown

You were the advocate for all companion animals who faced unhappy
endings after an owner's death.  From the "New York Times" to
Belgium and the U.K., everyone who read the story of "Ophelia's
Winter" found your common sense advice on planning for a pet's
care if you're no longer there.

Not many cats could boast that their misfortune helped the cause
of other animals, but your mission as an angel here on earth was
predetermined before your birth.

It is well known that cats choose to accept or ignore any human
beings they are forced to live with.  For that reason alone, I
felt more than honored when I knew that you loved me, too.  I
cannot put into words how much you'll be missed on Christmas
and every coming day.  I'll always be your mom.

Heartfelt thanks and appreciation are sent to Dr. Sarah
Stephenson and everyone at Good Shepherd Hospital for the
special love they gave to Ophelia.  Thanks also to Dr. Karen
Perkins and the staff at the Emergency Animal Clinic.

TEN THINGS A CAT THINKS ABOUT

1. I could have sworn I heard the can opener.

2. Is there something I'm not getting when humans make noise with
their mouths?

3. Why doesn't the government do something about dogs?

4. I wonder if Morris really liked 9-Lives, or did he have
alterior motives?

5. Hmmm... If dogs serve humans, and humans serve cats, why can't
we cats ever get these stupid dogs to do anything for us?

6. This looks like a good spot for a nap.

7. Hey -- no kidding, I'm sure that's the can opener.

8. Would humans have built a vast and complex civilization of
their own if we cats hadn't given them a reason to invent sofas
and can openers in the first
place?

9. If there's a God, how can He allow neutering?

10. If that really was the can opener, I'll play finicky just to
let them know who's boss!

The Cat User's Manual
by Andreas Ramos

User Installation and Maintenance Documentation

CAT vs. 7.0: Completely Autonomous Telepurronics

Manufactured by MOM CAT

System Design SpecifiCATions:

User Friendly
Mouse Driven
Self Cleaning
Energy Saving Standby Mode When Not In Use
Self Portable Operation
Dual Video and Audio Input
Audio Output
Auto Search Routines for Input Data
Auto Search for Output Bin
Instant Transition (2 nanoseconds) Between Standby and Full Power
Mode

Production Details:

After basic KIT construction, the unit undergoes six weeks of on
site ROM programming and burn-in testing. Listed features are
installed during this period. Since MOM CAT uses localsuppliers,
there may be variations between units.

Transportation:

A suitable transportation case should be used for transportation
to the operating site. Failure to properly ship a CAT unit may
result in loss or damage to the unit and/or serious injury to
the end user.

Installation Procedures:

Upon receiving the CAT unit, the user should examine the unit
to verify that all I/O channels are operational.

Look for minor bugs in or on the system. Bugs are indiCATive of
the MOM CAT production environment. The user may manually remove
any bugs.

Bring the CAT to operation in an environment temperature at 70°F
(±3° tolerance). Use a quiet room with the primary user(s)
present.

Open the transportation case and let the CAT unit autoexit.
Initialize the self learning program Katfind® by displaying the
input bins.

These should contain H2O (liquid state, room temperature, 99%
purity) and dry energy pellets.

Immediately afterwards, display the output bin.

If the user already has a CAT unit successfully installed, it may
be possible to transfer BASIC routines to the new CAT. For the
first day or two, the CAT will stay in self learning mode. When
the learn buffer overflows, the CAT will autoswitch to sleep
mode.
This is normal. The MMU system will store the new information to
permanent memory.

After 72 hours, the CAT will be interacting with the operating
environment.

The unit may be placed in direct sunlight. CAT units are
operational in all axis: standing, sitting, or laying down. If
all basic environment requirements are satisfied, the CAT system
will produce a slight hum. This is normal.

A new CAT should not exit the primary site facility. Full
portability comes after extensive burn in. Some users never let
the CAT unit autoexit the site. The advantages are longer unit
life and fewer bugs.

Contact with pirate CAT units may lead to unplanned BATCH
iteration.

Contact with untested CATs may lead to virus infection. If
allowed to exit, Fatal errors may happen. If you decide to let
your CAT out, it should have a READ_ME.TXT file with a system
address and URL which identifies the host site.

Your CAT should have a system name. The name may need to be
reinitialized repeatedly until the system can read it correctly.
This lets you issue Voice commands to bring the unit to an
online state. Many owners give Their CAT's a secret password as
well. You can also get the CAT's attention by booting the system.
While this is effective, it is discouraged.

AppliCATions:

At present, there are few productivity appliCATions for CAT.

MOUSE is a killer app. This is pre-installed.

Most owners use their system for game playing. CATs play best
when they are new. Older units suffer a system timing decay which
leads to reduced response and flexibility. Some CAT games are:

CACHE = The CAT will CACHE a data string. Similar to the K9 unit
game, but the object must be smaller.

JUMP = Move the data string through the air. The CAT unit will
reach new heights of operation.

MIRROR = Place the unit in front of a mirror and watch it attempt
to parse itself. Some units may ESCape. Reboot the system by
calling its name.

CHASE = Played between two CAT units or a CAT and a K9 unit.
Units take turns as one is the data and the other attempts to
parse it.

DANCE and SING = Offer fishy data code to elicit a range of audio
output.

Maintenance:

CATs will self-recharge. This takes 20 hours in a 24 hour cycle.

CATs are self cleaning and require little user maintenance. Do
not clean the unit with alcohol or benzene-based solvents. This
may lead to a violent explosion.

A CAT unit should be taken once a year to a VET for a system
checkup.

Do not attempt to open a CAT. There are no user serviceable parts
inside.

If a unit emits unusual smells or sounds, it should be serviced
immediately by a VET.

You may examine the CAT system to determine if it has a male or
female SCSI port. If the port is male, then the CAT unit may emit
a non-toxic aerosol. The VET can remove this component. CATs with
female ports are plagued by periodic heating problems. The VET
can fix this permanently by removing an internal part. Such
systems should run UNIX.

Warning Notices:

CAT systems are normally user friendly. However, in certain
documented situations, a CAT may pose a danger to the user.
Repeated jamming or obstruction of I/O ports may lead to
deployment of auto-defense systems. Never attempt a first
strike on a CAT system. Its CPU clock rate made to mil specs
and thus classified, but JANE'S FIGHTING FELINES notes that a
unit was seen by ham radio operators to be apparently moving at
500 MHz. Twin D-shaped five-pin connectors have an average seek
rate of 3 nanoseconds. The manufacturer is not responsible for
injuries to the user.

Children should not poke anything into the CAT's I/O ports. CAT
may BYTE.

In dry, cold weather, a surface electrostatic charge may build
up. to avoid electric shock, stand on an insulated surface.

Do not operate the CAT above water. This may lead to end-user
damage.

Carry the CAT firmly. Do not swing it by its "tail."

If you properly care for your CAT, it will give you years of
loyal service. Many users get a second unit, to enjoy the
ability to run complex simulation games.

User Groups:

CAT users can find other users and FAQ on the Usenet Newsgroup:

It only takes a second, and hopefully it helps!

Please Help....

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today!

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people
to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food
donated every day to abused and neglected animals.

It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on
"feed an animal in need" for free.

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors /
advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to
abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

3:  Bizcat Skills

>From Robert Short:
Greetings ,

Are you ready to ring in 2004?  We sure are! The upcoming year
holds so much more promise than ever before. The future is ours
to create, and what better time to start than right now?  What
can we do today that will take us one more step closer to making
our dreams come true?  Even if it seems like a small thing, just
do it and feel the joy that comes from gaining control over your
future.

Some New Year's Thoughts

Let us walk softly, friend;
For strange paths lie before us all untrod,
For New Year, spotless from the hand of God,
Is thine and mine, O friend.

Let us walk straightly, friend;
Forget the crooked paths behind us now,
Press on with steadier purpose on our brow,
To better deeds, O friend.

Let us walk kindly, friend;
We cannot tell how long this life shall last,
How soon these precious years be overpast;
Let Love walk with us, friend!

Lillian Gray

Focusing Strategies During Uncertain Times by Gary Ryan Blair

There is nothing worse than uncertainty. Unmitigated certain
disaster beats ongoing uncertainty hands down. Disaster is
dramatic. It inspires deep feelings and provides an outlet
for people to justify their fears.

Uncertainty, on the other hand, is like living your life
eternally sitting in some cosmic twilight zone waiting to
go out on a date with someone that you're sure you don't want
anything to do with.

In response to the many requests for insight into how to remain
focused during uncertain and scary times, I have created this
lesson on transforming the fear and perceived negativity of any
situation into opportunities for growth, progress, and
achievement.

I began by asking myself this question: "How do you plan for
success in a world filled more with conflicts, surprises, and
uncertainty than with patterns?"

Focusing Strategies During Uncertain Times is meant to support
and empower your creative thinking, communications, actions, and
most importantly your results.

1. Focus On Others!

Economic and political events throughout the past year have made
people around the world anxious and fearful about their futures.
Because of that fear, people tend to drive into themselves, and
begin to feel isolated, hopeless, and helpless.

In this situation, the best defense is a good offensive strategy.

Go in the opposite direction by purposefully expanding your
connection with others. Focus on helping your family, friends,
associates, and community to make something wonderful happen.

Forget about yourself, and focus in on others. The more you do
this, the less you will need to worry about your own situation.
You'll become a source of strength, confidence, and an
inspiration for others to emulate.

2. Focus On Relationships!

In uncertain times, people have a tendency to become frightened
about the viability of the things they do and the positions they
hold. Don't go there emotionally!

A wise strategic response right now would be to focus on
deepening the power and possibility of all your relationships -
with family, friends, associates, and community.

Every time you strengthen a relationship, you automatically
increase your opportunities for growth, progress, and
achievement.

3. Focus On Value!

When times are uncertain, you better place a premium on the
creation and delivery of greater value. What people want at all
times is value creation - that is, solutions that help them
eliminate their uncertainties, capture their opportunities,
and reinforce their strengths.

When you focus on providing these three solutions, growth,
progress, and achievement will naturally follow.

4. Focus On Opportunities!

Because of uncertainty and the roll of the dice this past year,
some things may have disappeared from your life. Some people
never get over this. They keep replaying history and focusing
on coulda, woulda, and shoulda.

A better strategy is to start an entirely new game - create
history by using new ideas, new energies, new tools, and new
resources to focus on new opportunities.

Read this next line a few times to make sure you completely get
the point: Just because you did not see a good business
opportunity when you see one does not mean that you didn't
see one!

Be open and alert by focusing and capitalizing on opportunity. A
big opportunity is available now for achieving far more than you
ever did in the past.

Stay awake and either open or kick the door in when it knocks!

5. Focus On Progress!

At some point in time, uncertainty and fear knocks the wind out
of all of us. Success and achievement may not come as easy as
they once did. New competitive realities will either defeat you
or reveal new strengths.

Your physical muscles always get stronger from working against
resistance. The same is true for the muscles in your mind, your
spirit, and your character.

Focus on progress, and treat this whole period of challenge and
uncertainty as a time when you can make your greatest progress.

6. Focus On Today!

The "future" is uncertain; at best your plans are a hypothetical
guess. The only future that has any reality is the one that you
continually create for yourself through each day's contributions,

achievements, and results.

Take it one day at a time. Focus on what you can do over the
course of each 24 hours. Plan the day well, maximize every
opportunity, continuously generate value and flawlessly execute
your plan.

7. Focus On Gratitude!

Uncertainty is one of those times when everyone has to make a
fundamental decision: to complain or to be grateful. When things
go south, the consequences of this decision are much greater.

Complaining only attracts negative thoughts, negative people, and
negative results. There is no inherent value to be found from
complaining.

Gratitude creates and attracts positive thoughts, positive
people, and positive results. It allows for the best thinking,
actions, and results to emerge.

Focus on everything that you are grateful for - communicate
this - and open yourself each day to the best possible
consequences.

A Final Thought

There are certainties in uncertain times. Even in uncertain
times, you must go forward and actively pursue your goals.

Within that context you will discover abundant opportunities for
growth, progress, and achievement. These opportunities will allow
you to improve your life, your family, your community, and our
world.

All the best for a happy and prosperous 2004.

Crying For Help Online

      - by Jim Edwards

http://www.TheNetReporter.com
(c) Jim Edwards - All Rights reserved
=====================================

Anyone surfing the Internet for more than a week eventually
needs help from someone else.  Whether regarding an online
purchase, technical support on computer hardware, software
support or some other type of help, sooner or later everyone
needs assistance.

The way in which you ask for help has everything to do with
how fast and how well you receive assistance.  In the online
world where email rules, the following tips will help you
get what you need and get on your way quickly.

* Remember the "person" on the other end *

When something on your computer or a particular website
doesn't function properly, irritation seems a natural
reaction, especially when you have no clue why things don't
work or how to fix them. A sense of helplessness often leads
to feelings of frustration and anger. However, no matter how
upset you get, you must always remember that a live person
will receive your email communication and, in many cases,
they didn't cause your problem directly.

Remember, those email "missiles" that make you feel better
in the short term will almost always come back to haunt you
over the long haul.

When first asking for help, never send notes with phrases
such as "If you don't respond to me within two hours I'm
going to contact my lawyer." or "I sure hope this isn't a
scam." Rarely do such comments produce the cheerful help or
assistance you actually want.

* "Please" and "Thank You" *

Common courtesy goes a long way towards getting what you
want, especially regarding technical support.  Notes with
nasty comments put the person on the receiving end in a bad
frame of mind. However, notes with a polite tone sprinkled
generously with "please" and "thank you" will usually
receive prompt and courteous attention.  You can always get
more severe later if you must.

* Don't use ALL CAPS *

Using all capital letters in an email rates the same as
SHOUTING in someone's face! Ignorance of this custom online
does not excuse the behavior.

Though you may think typing certain words in ALL CAPS merely
shows emphasis on your part, to a "computer geek" you will
seem rude and offensive.  Once you have offended the person
from whom you seek help, your chances of receiving that help
diminish significantly.

* Get to the point *

Everything happens quickly online.  Time ranks number one as
the customer support person's scarcest resource and they
don't have time to read long emails to figure out what you
need.

When asking for help, always include your name, contact
information, order information, specific dates and a clear
description of the help or information you need.

Avoid including any extraneous information that won't
contribute directly in assisting someone in giving you
exactly what you need.

Though the Internet and email may seem like an instant
solution to many problems, people still run the technology.
If you need help from another person, don't treat the person
like a machine.  You'll get a lot further by doing it this
way.

"New Year, New Business" by Chris Malta

It wasn't that many years ago that I had bosses, a 50 hour
workweek, and a one hour commute to and from work each day. I
spent very little time with my wife and kids, since I'd leave
home at 7 in the morning, and often didn't get back until 8
or 9 at night. My weekends we just a blur of frenzied activity,
trying to make up for lost time during the week with my family,
and suddenly it was Monday morning again, and I was on my way
back to work.

Today, I'm an owner, and the CEO, of a highly successful
Corporation. I make my own hours, I work from home when I choose,
and I can afford the things I always wanted to give my kids. Most

importantly, I can afford to give them the time I always wanted
to spend with them.

I actually work more now than I did then, but I'm working for
myself, and for the most part I can pick and choose when I work,
which makes a big difference.

There is an American Dream, still very much alive and kicking out
there, folks. I found it. So can you.

It's not in a box, or in a book. You can't buy it online. You
won't find it in an infomercial. No one will hand it to you in
exchange for a few easy credit card payments.

You don't need to get it from somebody else. You already have it.

It's in your heart, and in your mind. If you have a desire to
move beyond your current circumstances, to make a better life
for yourself, to really succeed in this world, you already have
the Dream. It's there, waiting for you, and it's ready to be
yours whenever you want it. You only need to do one thing.

You need to get started.

I started my company at exactly this time of year, several years
ago. The Holidays were winding down, I was starting to think
about having to pay Christmas credit card bills for the next
8 months or so until I had to start shopping for the next
Christmas, and I realized I was getting older, but not wiser.

I'd heard that phrase before; "A little older, a little wiser". I
was getting the 'older' part whether I wanted it or not! However,
I didn't seem to be getting any wiser over the years. I was still
'punching a time clock'. I was still struggling to pay bills,
even though I made a decent living. (Like most people, the more
money I got in my paycheck, the more I spent, and still ended up

struggling!)

It seemed that with every New Year's Eve, I was making a
Resolution that this year, I was going to do something about it.

This year, I'd start something of my own. This year, I'd make
something work for my family, beyond my weekly paycheck.

Well, this year turned into next year, and then the year after
that. I never seemed to follow through. I never actually got
started. It's easy to get stuck in that rut, and let the
excitement of that dream always stay Just a bit farther into
the future. Just a little farther down the road. "I'll do it
some day", I always thought.

I think we do things like that because it makes us feel safe, in
a way. If we procrastinate, if we put it off and continue to
dream, then the dream is always safe. It's always out there,
in the future somewhere, and it can continue to give us hope.
It'll never go away. Perhaps we're afraid that if we try, and
we fail, then the dream itself is gone, and we won't even have
that to comfort us anymore.

So, we continue to dream, and continue to let the years slip
away, until it really is too late to do anything about it.

It's a sad thing that something capable of giving us so much
comfort will, for most people, never become a reality, because we
become afraid to actually try.

One December a few years ago, with New Year's Eve parties coming
up, and yet another Resolution made, I finally took the plunge. I
let go of the comfort of the dream, and set out to make it a
reality.

It didn't go well, at first. My online business started out
slowly. I found that I had a lot to learn. I couldn't let it go,
though. I couldn't let the dream fade into nothing, after all
those years of dreaming. So, I kept at it. Little by little,
bit by bit, I built my fledgling business. I learned that
it wasn't going to be a situation where I could start my
business, and quit my job two weeks later. I learned that
building a business the right way took time, and a willingness
to learn.

My first year was a definitely a learning process. I got my
Internet business set up, and then I tried many different
products and marketing strategies.

I read materials from lots of different schools of thought on
Internet Marketing. I went through a few different Web Site
Hosting companies, and a couple of Merchant Bankers. I kept at
it, and by the end of the year, I'd made a decent profit. It
wasn't enough to quit my day job over, but it was a good deal
of extra Christmas money that year!

My second year was much better. I knew what to expect from each
month of the year. I was familiar with the trends in product
sales and availability by then.

I started exploring new product brands and new Marketing
directions on the Internet. The business grew steadily.

By the end of the second year, I followed a brand-new New Year's
Resolution, and formed a new corporation, partnering with an old
and trusted friend. The core business, Internet product sales,
was still the same, and still is to this day. Together with my
new business partner, I explored the depth of that core business,
and embarked on some new ventures.

Today, we still successfully sell brand name products on the
Internet. We also successfully market our own award-winning
informational database, and we're developing some incredible
new marketing software and other products that we are very
confident in. We have an excellent team of employees, and
we're growing at a phenomenal rate every year.

Where did it all start? Internet product sales, that very first
year. I strongly believe that selling products at retail on the
Internet is absolutely the best way to get started in online
business. Product sales is the basis for all online Commerce.
It's what ECommerce is, and why ECommerce exists. Learning
Internet product sales gave me the knowledge and experience I
needed to go wherever I wanted to go in online business. For a
great number of people, online product sales is the success
they dream of. For me, it was the first part of a badly needed
learning curve that took me from success there, to success
in other areas of the Internet as well.

Why did it all start? Because I finally took the chance, and went
after the dream. I worked at it constantly, and never gave up. It
was nothing more than that. There were no Magic Bullets. No
"Eureka!"

moments. No Secret Formulas. All I did was use common sense. I
ignored all the hucksters out there who were trying to sell me
the Dream In A Box, and listened to those who really had
something

intelligent to say.

If you're interested in a little free help, I've kept track of
all those important things I learned over the years, and have
made
them all available for FREE on our company web site at
www.WorldwideBrands.com.

In our free Resource Center, our free Know How Center, my free
EBook and free articles, you'll find those things you need to
know to make the dream work, the RIGHT way.

Why do we do that? Because there's plenty of room here in the

American Dream for you too, and we would honestly like to help
you get here.

We're looking forward to an incredible year in 2004. I hope you
are, too. While you're celebrating the New Year, think about
turning all the incredible potential of a brand new year into
the start of something that will change your life forever.

Just get started.

Happy New Year!

5: from Outside the catbox

Hi, especially to our new readers.  I have been receiving emails
from subscribers that say "ad for CATLINES" in the subject and
then a blank message.  Excuse me, I cannot place an ad unless you
send it, however, please read above regarding our free ad board
where free ads may be placed.

I was receiving too many ads that sounded scammy or spammy to me
and the cats and they didn't pass our standards.  (Gabrielle is
particularly picky in what is good dumpster material, which make
good toys, wherever they come from, and which are those to pass
on to me.)  Thanks.

BIZLINES does publish all free ads sent in to those who are
subscribed, therefore, joining both of our ezines might be of
great help to you.  Thanks.
