Some superheroes drink a potion,take a pill,utter some magic words. I put my fingers on a keyboard and become STUPIDMAN.

I am currently reading free chapters of new e-book "Internet Profit Pearls" (IPP). I understand explanations of why some popular strategies don't work and advantages of some lesser used,yet cost effective methods. My problem is implementing tactics. But apparently I'm not alone.

One tactic is creating a "junk" email address. I went to a free email service and thought Stupidman needs an email address. Guess what? Stupidman was taken, in fact first three versions were taken. I finally secured a version but even creating an email address does not come easy for me.

Downloading book was easy(at least it was with Winzip) but then IPP says I have to make a copy. Never having made a copy my blood pressure begins to rise, but there is a link to a tutorial site and a brief description of steps for copying. Wanting to delay inevitable and avoid becoming gaseous dog(see previous articles) I click tutorial.

Remembering we have Windows 98, I select it, then "getting started" and......get old "the page cannot be displayed notice". (Sometimes I think this is a cookie that attaches to me rather than a computer.) After two more attempts I give up and return to IPP.

For those of you who know what you are doing, this next passage is really boring and is intended for soul mates of Stupidman.

Mister Rogers makes everyone feel special and valued, and he's one of my heroes.

1. You can never go down, never go down, never go down drain. When life can involve divorce, layoffs, losing a child, moving 2 weeks before your baby's due and you have a toddler and a dog with a new litter of puppies, working full-time and being a single-parent, or starting a new career at 55, it's good to know you can never go down drain!

2. You can stop when you want to, stop when you wishEver say to yourself -- stop madness? Mister Rogers reminds us that we can stop when we want to. Make carousel slow down so you can enjoy ride. You're in control. Stop roller coaster and get off. End a relationship that isn't working. Change a career when passion's gone. Eliminate tolerations in your life! You can stop when you want to, stop when you wish.

3. It's great to be able to stop when you've planned a thing that's wrong and to be able to do something else instead. Problem-solving! When you're working at a problem and answer isn't forthcoming, try something new. The solution isn't doubling your efforts at a failing proposition. If you're having same things happen over and over again in your relationships, stop what you're doing and do something else. Try something new! If you keep doing' what you've been doin', you're gonna keep gettin' what you been gettin'.

4. There's something deep inside that helps us become what we can. Develop your intuition and pay attention to what it tells you. It's best guide to what's best for you and what will work for you. Listen to that still, small voice inside and let it be your guide ... it's an EQ competency.
