TRAVEL SECRET
Air Fare Inside Info
Planning your vacation air travel? You'll get the best air
fares if you book flights about a month in advance. Booking
several months in advance usually doesn't result in the
lowest fares because so few low-fare seats are offered
initially. Later, however, if the higher- priced seats
remain unsold, they'll be offered at a discount. According
to Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Saturdays are the best days for getting
cheap fares, and of course, you'll save money if you can be
flexible on travel times.

PERSONAL SECRET/SALES SECRET
** Positive Association **
One of the keys to getting the girl/boy/sale is also the
easiest. To get anywhere with a prospect, they must first think
of only good things when they are with you, thinks of you, or sees you.
This is best accomplished by developing a "positive
association" with you and their thoughts. Creating this
positive association gives you their trust and makes them feel more
connected to you. Positive association is best created early in the
relationship by "speaking the romantic
language."
Humans naturally try to relate to any person they are
communicating with. Therefore, when you describe certain
feelings or situations, a person will try to put themself in
that situation (mentally) and try to recall a time when they
felt that way. When you describe happy, carefree events to
them, or ask questions that bring happy thoughts, a person
feels happy and associates YOU with that happiness.
Many questions can trigger these happy thoughts; some such questions
are:
1) What do you think it is like to soar
through the air without a care in the world?
2) What is your happiest memory?
3) What was the best vacation you ever had?
4) How do you really know when you are in love?
5) What is your idea of a really great day?
You notice each of these questions has certain "buzz words"
that
trigger happy thoughts: soar, w/o a care, happiest, love,
and romantic.
You should make sure your questions are open-ended and
contain at least one "buzz word" to trigger the happy
thoughts. Practice the "Positive Association Method" and you
will build rapport with anyone you want to "click" with.

HOUSEHOLD SECRET
Hard-To-Kill Houseplants
Many of us like houseplants, but few have the time to care
properly for them. Here's a list of low-maintenance plants,
perfect for the inattentive grower:
Aloe -- requires very little watering, great in the kitchen
as first-aid for burns, needs sun
Cast iron plant -- grows steadily in all conditions
Chinese evergreen -- tolerates any light conditions, water
when soil surface is dry
Golden pothos -- tolerates any light conditions, and likes
sparse watering
Mother-in-law's tongue -- likes to be fairly dry, will
tolerate dim light, but likes sun
Split-leaf philodendron -- tolerates low light and
infrequent watering
Tree philodendron -- tolerates low light and likes
infrequent watering, grows very large

PRIVACY SECRET
Providing Id
When someone insists that I show identification, I show my
passport. Unlike a driver's license, it does not provide my
home address.
This strategy is particularly useful for women who might be
asked for identification at a bar -- and then get an
unwelcome visitor later.
Exception: When the police ask for a driver's license, that
is what you must provide.
=========================================
THIS MONTHS BAR BET
Smoke Over Water
Ingredients: 1 glass, a matchbook, six quarters, and an
ashtray with water.
Objective: Get a free drink (or 3).
Situation: Bet your friends one drink that you can get the
water from the ashtray into the glass using only the
ingredients mentioned and without moving or tilting the
ashtray.
Solution: Make sure ashtray is filled with at most a
quarter inch of water. Stack the quarters in the center of
the ashtray so the top two quarters are above the water.
Place four unlit matches on top of the quarters. Light the
matches and immediately cover the flame and quarters with
the glass. The water will be drawn into the glass.
You win!
Hint: hang the matches over the edge of the coins just
enough, or bend them 90 degrees (sticking up) so that they
will burn longer. A longer burn means all of the water will
get sucked up into the glass.

SCORING POINTS SECRET
Welcoming New Neighbors
Here's a simple gift idea for a new neighbor. Buy a cheery
address book and include names, addresses, and telephone
numbers of neighbors and babysitters. (Be sure to ask their
permission first.) Also include the names of your favorite
meat and fruit markets, pharmacy, dry cleaner, hair salon,
and other merchants in the area whose services are worthy of a recommendation.

MONEY/REAL ESTATE SECRET
Don't share this with everyone you know. I am not done
making money with it yet. Let's just keep it to ourselves a
while longer eh?
HOW TO BUY HOMES AND LAND FOR A FEW DOLLARS.
Yes, you can buy homes, apartments and land for next to
nothing by using the procedure of bidding at "tax
delinquency & lien sales." These are made to recover unpaid
taxes on property which is auctioned off 3 to 4 times each
year. Check with your local tax assessor for dates. In the
past people have picked up $50,000 homes for as little as
$2,000 and apartments & land for similar discounts.
Go to your favorite search engine (I have to recommend
Google or Teoma) and enter the term "tax delinquency lien
sales" without the quotes. To narrow the search, add your
states abbreviation at the end. This secrets can be worth
thousands, literally tens of thousands of dollars.

CAR SECRET
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A USED CAR.
Examine the framework (Chassis), engine block and supports
for cracks and welding. If cracks or welds are obvious the
car should be passed up. Listen for noises in the motor.
Make sure wheels are in alignment. Light or heavy bangs or
knocks may be due to poor valve adjustment or loose
bearings, worn pistons, carbon deposits or that the spark is
too far.
Uneven running of the motor may mean distributor trouble,
poor spark plugs or improper timing. If the clutch facing is
worn you will experience a jerky starting or the engine may
race when going up a grade without showing sufficient power.
If while driving you hear a bang in the rear end, it may be
due to a broken tooth in the master or pinion gear in the
differential. This will eventually cause more teeth to break
and finally stop the car.
A broken bearing in the rear wheel is indicated by a heavy
thump in the wheel while driving. The steering post can be
tested by turning it two inches in either direction. If the
wheels do not turn within this space, the steering worms may be worn
or there are loose steering connections. Examine the spring leaves beneath
the car to see that none are broken. Make sure the battery is charged
and that the generator is charging.
The cooling system including the radiator hose and water
pump should be examined carefully for leaks. Road test the
car at various speeds to see if the motor runs hot. If a
sharp click is heard on starting off, and then the noise
stops, it may indicate worn universal joints. Check up on
this by starting, stopping and reversing.
If upon pressing on the starter only a whirring sound is
heard it may indicate a broken tooth on the flywheel or that
a mesh gear is stuck.

INVENTORS SECRET
THERE IS SAFETY IN PATENT NUMBERS.

expenses to secure a patent. However for less than $100 an
inventor can file a "disclosure document" with the U.S.

the patent is being worked on. The document is destroyed if
no patent is filed at the end of two years.
