TIPS This Week!!!

Many new RVers have set up BLOGS but the URL’s get lost even if we do get a card from each of you. Please add your URL to my FORUM - it’s designed for this purpose. Mary and Rod added their post this week – take a look at what their doing and please add your Blog address. We know many of you have set Blogs up and it would simplify it we all can periodically follow what’s going on in your world too. Try also adding it to your email signature, that helps too.

Rod shared several tips on CONTROLLING THE SPAM POSTS a while ago. I’ve used a few of his posts in the past - Here’s another. Email that relay, “Send this email to 10 people and you'll see something great run across your screen.” Sometimes they promise something really cute will happen – No, it’s won’t – the same promises continue to circle for years. Ignore threats of bad luck – all email are only words.

Before you forward Amber Alerts, or a Virus Alert, or Urban Legends that seem too good to be true – check them out before you hit forward. Most are junk that's been circling the Net for years! Just about everything you receive that’s in question can be checked out at Snopes.com. Type in topic to find if its a real threat or not – if not, please don't pass it on.

Bill has a REX-HALL motorhome and he shared this PAGE OF VALUBLE RV TIPS specifically he likes the one near the bottom under ‘Miscellaneous’ ref ‘Driving In The Wind’. The entire list on the left is loaded with beneficial info. Take a look.

Bill also shared a FREE WAY TO ACCESS AN 800 NUMBER from Google. Worth adding this number to your cell phone, or your home phone’s ‘speed dial’: “1-800-goog411”. It’s an awesome FREE service from Google – great if you’re on the move. Watch video for details.In the example, the search is for a Golf Course number - the voice on the phone asks, "City &State." you say, " Garland, Texas." Next Q, "Business, Name or Type of Service." you say, Firewheel Golf Course." Voice says, "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free! Not sure if it works in Cda.

SPECIAL – “A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR EACH OF YOU”
It's easy to let the state of the economy get you down, but fortunately there are things that you can do NOW to ensure that you still have an exceptional 2009. My friend Michael Green has written a new e-book to help you navigate your way through this downturn – It’s FREE.

”HOW TO BEAT RECESSION -- 101 'MUST HAVE' RECESSION-BUSTING HINTS & TIPS” Normally Michael's toolkits retail for a fortune (his products typically range from $247 to $500, but on this occasion he has been kind enough to offer a copy of his new book for a limited time to my readers without charge - only if you download your Free copy right now!I've read much of this excellent new e-book (haven’t finished it yet) and would guess that even if you implement just a handful of the 101 recession-busting ideas during 2009, you'll be laughing. Download it now from: http://www.HowToBeatRecession.com/peggiandjohn before Michael realizes that he should be charging for these types of ideas!Merry Christmas from Michael, John and I.

When RVers are travelling it can sometimes be a problem FINDING A HOSPITAL to suit your needs – GO HERE for the answer. I’m not sure who shared this tip.

***First step is to “Find and Compare Hospitals.”.
***Either by “General Search” or a specific problem.
***Next click on the “ZIP code” button. And then Distance
***Next, choose between three hospitals to review data. (However possibly only one or two hospitals will appear, depending on the area) Click the box beside the hospitals you want to check out.
***Scroll down to the bottom, skipping over data on ‘Hospitals Care Processes and Outcomes’ to read “Survey of patients’ hospital experiences.”

Another really great free411 service is 1-800-FREE411! Just call that number and (unlike goog411) they have the capabilities to find business, residential and government listings all for FREE! Try it!
