Welcome

Congratulations to all the Graduates & Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's!  

Take time this month to sit back in a lawn chair and enjoy the beautiful scenery!  We sometimes tend to take nature's beauty for granted.  

This month's issue of 'Netline News is full of tips and information for the whole family.  There is a link on how to keep your lawn looking it's best, how to have the best BBQ, plus golf tips to acquire a perfect swing, and many more exciting sites.  Please also take time and read the section "LIFE"!

Sit back, put your feet up and relax!  Enjoy the sites!  

Have a site you think should be highlighted: Drop me an email and I will take a look at it!  netnews@meltel.net

Online Webmail
Have you ever had this problem? Your email seems to be stuck, or you receive only “some” of the messages but not all? Have you ever received the same message over and over again in your email program?  The next time you have these types of problems try using our convenient “Webmail” program.  This program is free and easy to use.  All you need to do is open up Internet Explorer, type in the URL address of: http://mail.meltel.net. Just be sure when typing in the address you do not put a "www" in the address. You will not be able to get to this site if you do.

Because this is a secure site for checking your personal mail, you will be required to login.  Enter (in the appropriate spaces) your username and password. Once you are logged into the mail system, and you can check your email online. From here you can read mail, delete mail, send mail and change your account preferences

If your email seems to get held up while downloading a message, there is probably a message in your mailbox that is very large. You should find this message, read it, save it on your computer if you wish, and then delete it so it does not continue to give you problems. This is also a good rule to follow if your email seems stuck. There is probably an email that is corrupt.

Webmail also works for you if you are away from your own computer. It allows you to check your mail from any location where there is Internet access. This comes in handy when on vacation, or just out of town on business.

When you are ready to print, choose File- Print.  At the bottom of the print dialog, set Print: to Odd pages, then choose OK.

After all the odd pages are printed, check your printer manual to see which side goes up.  Remove the stack and place it into the paper tray with the blank side facing the correct direction.  If the document ends on an odd page, remove that page.  Otherwise, everything will be off by one page (e.g., page 2 will print on the back of page 3).

Return to the Print dialog. Choose Options, enable Reverse print order, choose OK.  Set Print: to Even pages, then choose OK.

TIP: Start the second run, with a single page to be sure that you have oriented the paper correctly in the printer and that the even-numbered pages are not printed upside down.  

Arm yourself with the information needed to defend yourself from computer viruses.

Dear Bro,

Please read this real slow cause you know I can't write very fast.

We don't live where we did when you last visited. We read in the paper that accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved.

I won't be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the numbers off the house with them for their next house, so they wouldn't have to change their address.

It only rained twice this week. Three days the first time and four days the second time.

You know the coat you wanted me to send you, Well Aunt Sue said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons on it, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

My wife had a baby this morning. I ain't heard whether it's a boy or girl, so I don't know if you are an uncle or aunt.

Three of our old friends went off the bridge in a pick up. One was driving, the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled the window
down and swam to safety. The other two drowned. They couldn't get the tailgate down.

Sorry there's not much news this time 'cause nothing much has happened.

Bro.

Horoscope

Gemini...........5-21 to 6-20
Cancer...........6-21 to 7-22

--We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.  Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.  After that, we are frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.  We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.  We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, or when we retire.
--The truth is, there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?  Your life will always be filled with challenges.
--It's Best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, and remember that time waits for no one.  --So, stop waiting..-- until your car is paid off -- until you get a new car or home -- until your kids leave the house -- until you go back to school -- until you finish school -- until you lose 10 lbs -- until you gain 10lbs -- until you get married -- until you have kids -- until you retire -- until you die.
THERE IS NO BETTER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW TO BE HAPPY!
