Are You As Fed Up With Email Spam As I Am?

If you're like me, when you check your email every morning, the first thing you're met with are emails touting the latest and greatest sexual enhancement drugs, get rich quick schemes, weight loss dream pills and many other wonderful products that spammers love to promote. Have you had enough?

If you answered yes, then I have a solution for you. For those of you who've been reading my blog for quite some time, you know that I don't normally post articles about products. However, a friend of mine recommended a product to me the other day that I fell in love with. It's called Spam Arrest and it truly is a necessity for everyone this day and age.

Here's how it works: When someone sends you an email, before the email is sent, the sender receives an email that asks them to verify they're a human. It does this simply by asking them to verify they sent the email. While this isn't going to stop other humans who are spamming you one email at a time, it will stop all the automated spam that somehow seems to by-pass your email software's spam filters since the spamming software can't verify the message it sent. Click here to see a demo of how this works.

And, the other reason I'm recommending this to you is because they have a 30 free trial, which I personally am taking advantage of. Here are the details of the free trial directly from the website:

Spam Arrest Free Trial Details

The Spam Arrest free trial gives you a chance to try out our service before purchasing a subscription. There is no obligation, and you may cancel at any time.

If you have not subscribed to Spam Arrest by the end of the trial, your account will automatically be converted to a month-to-month subscription, and your credit card will be billed at the standard rate of $5.95 per month.

If you wish to cancel your account before the end of the trial period, you may do so by visiting http://www.spamarrest.com/members/cancel.jsp

That's it! No strings attached.

So, if you'd like to stop receiving all the junk you've been getting in your email, give SpamArrest a try. I think you'll like it.

Until tomorrow, make it a great day!

Husband Saves Wife From Crocodile By Poking It In The Eyes

From BBC News - An Australian man and his wife were visiting the Litchfield National Park near Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory when a crocodile lunged out of the water and grabbed his wife by the legs.

Instinctively, the man jumped into the water and like the Crocodile Hunter himself, he jumped on the back of the croc and started wrestling with it. While on the croc's back, he managed to poke it in both eyes, and that's when he believes it let go of his wife.

Even though he rescued her, her injuries were very severe and are going to require surgery, but it was his self-less act that saved his wife's life. To read the complete story, please go to this page on the BBC News' website.

Make it a great day!

Ideas For Random Acts of Kindness

Nothing will make you feel better than committing a random act of kindness, and your act will make someone else feel the same way. Pay it forward - it's the only way to live. If you're stuck trying to think of ideas, here are some I came up with to help you get started:

• Tip someone who is not expecting it – Toll Booth Operator, Fast Food Drive-thru Clerk, Garbage Handlers – You get the idea – It’ll make their day and yours
• Say “Good Morning” to someone at work you normally don’t talk to
• Call a relative or friend you haven’t spoken to in a long time just to say "Hi"
• If you see some trash on the sidewalk or in front of your office or favorite restaurant, pick it up and throw it away – If we all did this on a regular basis, litter would be a thing of the past
• Hand-write a note or thank you letter to someone who has helped you get where you are today – Don’t email or type the letter – Take out a pen and write
  
• Donating clothes is always a great idea – A twist to this act – If you see the same homeless person near your home or work, stop and give them one of your jackets, shirts, blanket, etc.
• If you’re searching for the perfect gift to give your parents, grandparents or friends, why not sponsor an eye surgery for a blind person in a third-world country in your friends honor – Think out of the box – Who can you help in your friends honor...
• Send your favorite elementary school teacher a “thank you” card for helping you become who you are today
• Open the door for someone at a public place
• Tip a great waiter/waitress 40% every now and then or write something nice to them on the back of the bill complimenting them
• Slip the busboy at your favorite restaurant a $20 bill (or whatever you can afford)
  
• If you know your neighbor is going through hard times (health problems, death in family, etc.), offer to cut their grass, sweep their drive or go to the grocery store for them for free
• Write a personal note to the boss/manager of an employee who went out of their way to help you
• Utilize the telephone – Have a big family? Organize a conference call with everyone
• If possible, adopt a dog or cat from a shelter
• Offer to walk an elderly couples dog

These are just some of the ideas that popped into my head this morning. There are a million other things you can do to "make some one's day". How about you? One random act would be to share with us what you've done. Use the comment field to share your random act of kindness.

I hope I've given you some ideas. Now, let's all go out and help someone have a great day!

Man Trapped In Elevator For Over 41 Hours In 1999 Is Now Famous

Back in 1999, this guy was trapped in an elevator for over 41 hours. The entire ordeal was captured by the video surveillance cameras in the top of the elevator, and the video has just now been leaked out onto the Internet, and all of a sudden, this guy is now making the rounds on the talk shows. Here he is on Good Morning America talking with Diane Sawyer about the ordeal.

I have to give Diane a lot of credit for this interview because he's not exactly the easiest person to interview. He's pretty bland, but he's definitely one lucky man. Enjoy!

Make it a great day!

It's Tiger Woods' 2nd shot on the par 3 16th hole, and it's one of the most unbelievable chips you'll ever see.
