Quote: I would only add, know your own goals! If you are looking to earn a little money then the offer of millions is not what you are looking for! On the rare occasion that I answer my phone (LOL) and have a conversation with a 'qualifier', I have to think of his goal (making me spend money) vs my goal (not spending money). Also, reading through these things carefully shows the gaps in logic-I have never forgotten how to diagram a sentence, teacher:) That helps in way more than just English composition. Joyce, you and your phone seem to have the same relationship as me & mine! I really get annoyed at those "unknowns" that continue to call, so finally I will answer just to shut them up. As they go into their 'spill' I interrupt them (learned this well living in Kansas) and say "Let me guess, you want some money?" Of course it is a charity and they are asking for donations... "Well, the situation we find ourselves in now is that we don't have any spare money around." This is usually a little how my answer is and then "Thank you very much, have a great day!" Also, I request to be removed from their list. I always laugh when I hear the message machine pick up on that one that says my car warranty is about to run out. I am afraid that one was gone many years ago!! How stupid do they think people are? Yes, I agree - 'looking for the pie in the sky or the money tree' has definitely been overplayed. To make money, it takes hard work and a lot of effort. You have to be dedicated to it and then maybe set an attainable goal. Sara
