I get offers by email a lot. How do I know if they’re good or not? Thanks, Phil Dear Phil, Choosing to get further education is very smart. I applaud you! It will enhance your life and your income prospects significantly. Online education has come a long way in the last couple of years. You can go to the web site Classes USA for more information. That said, the quality of the education will depend on the major you are considering. The opportunity to interact with other students and an instructor could prove invaluable to your development. Be sure your online education provides such opportunity. Another consideration is the value of the degree in the market place. You might start by checking out what is available locally for adult education. The extra effort for a degree from an established college or university would be worth the effort. Whatever you choose, it is a smart move regardless. Al Dear Boomer Al, I get loads of spam in my email box every day. I click on remove me but they keep on coming. Quite a bit of it is porn.It’s disgusting! I think I have the highest filter I can get. Any advice? Laura Dear Laura, I spend enough time online to know that spam can be a real problem. From what I understand it helps to have an Internet service provider that works to assist you with this problem. The free services are obviously the least protected. I do not have serious issues with spam because my ISP has strict filtering systems that eliminate most of it. The spam I do get is mostly my own fault from visiting different sites and registering for newsletters. When you do that you frequently end up on what they call opt-in lists that are lists of people interested in certain topics. These people use your registration as a blanket authority to send you email on many assorted topics. Don’t use the “remove me” link on email messages as most spammers use this to see which email addresses actually are good. The slime! There are also software programs call web crawlers that collect email addresses to use in building lists. They work behind the scenes so you don’t know they are there. I suggest you go to Spam Abuse for a complete education on the topic. You can also set up an account at Spam Cop where you can report offenders. They will make their lives very unpleasant. Just be careful not to report newsletters and things you actually subscribed to or you will get banned from spamcop for filing false reports. You also may have cookies from porn sites on your computer that you are not aware of. Go to Content Watch for help on cleaning up your computer and blocking such traffic. Al Need to buy or sell a house ... check this out! _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ I'm willing to bet the Phil Donahue is the salt of the earth type of guy. I, however, find his brand of liberalism a touch extreme. Ratings are very poor for his show. Many continue to be confused by the popularity of the many conservative types on radio and TV today enjoying such strong ratings. I find many of them are just folks with common sense opinions. I continue to be put off by the partisanship associated with court nominees. The result is too many empty benches with the resulting backlog in many courts. The Pickering nomination heads the list. This is pure politics and a diservice to a fine jurist. I felt so lucky the other morning to have caught Condoleeza Rice's address at the National Prayer Breakfast. Her words were touching and meaningful. She is a very impressive woman and we're lucky to have her in public service. Just my opinion. Don't like it? So tell me off at ...

(¯`·._ "What we do not see, what most of us never suspect of existing, is the silent but irresistible power which comes to the rescue of those who fight on in the face of discouragement." Napolean Hill There are times of our lives that challenge us so much. I have experienced those times in the past and I know I will again. There are times when we must decide hour by hour and day by day just to go on to the next hour or day. Hang in. You can and will have better days built on the wisdom gained. You must persist to see those days. Try to relax and take it one step at a time. Have fun. It's later than you think.
