Close, but no cigar Mary. Well, maybe there's a cigar in there
somewhere.
I notice that the post uses similar chinglish as the Web site.
Are these the exploding batteries?

Affiliate Marketing is the Best Income Source!!

To promote Web businesses, affiliate marketing is used. The Web sites
that offers different products or services of other web sites are
known as affiliates. Such affiliates find new customers and increase
revenues of business firms.

Affiliate marketing is the best way to advertise products at lower
costs that results in saving your time and money. Affiliate marketing
is a joint effort or relationship between a business firm and
affiliates. The affiliate charges a commission, known as affiliate
commission on overall profits.

On the other hand, there seem to be plenty of people who would
have great difficulty working alone. Some seem to view the
workplace as a context for socialising, even to the point of
resenting other workers who don't have time for it. Some also
want constant hand-holding for job tasks, or even the reassurance
of being able to dump their assignment (or a portion thereof)
onto a co-worker.

Some folks like that have even gotten rather nasty attitudes at
me, over my ability to work alone. The responsibility and focus
on accomplishing stuff, was so frightening to them, that they
were even offended by the idea of someone else experiencing it.

I don't know if that's actually true but in order to make those huge
salaries, isnt there an inherent incentive to structure things in a
way that favors the largest possible profits over best possible
benefits?

I've got 8 books on magic. It's a wonderful way to show people that
you have to be really careful if you sense someone is manipulating
you. Because even what you see with your own eyes might not be what
you think it is.

There are plenty of tool boxes at home improvement stores which can be
locked.

If you want to prevent wireless from working, get a metal box.

Keep in mind that electronic gizmos generate heat and need ventilation. Be
sure to drill plenty of holes for heat to escape or may damage equipment
(unless you plan to only operate it with the cover open).

Aren't external antennas available? Put the modem and the router in the
box and run an antenna to an outside the box location.

Got my oil changed last week. Kid said I needed a
new air filter (forgot they always do that, along with
that pcv valve). Says it will be $14.99. Said I'd do
it myself. Went to Auto Zone. Cost $13.99 Big
savings, but maybe I got a better filter. Took my
old one out and it didn't look very dirty. Showed it
to my co-worker, who works on cars. He said it
didn't look bad at all. Held it up, could see lots of light
through it. Other co-worker said he cleans his with
gasoline or something like that. I still have the receipt.
Should I return it or keep it figuring the next time I
need one, they may cost a lot more?
