I just wanted to share a little Search Engine Optimization experiment I ran
to confirm the theory that Google likes content rich sitemap pages rather than
just a bunch of links pointing to different pages on your site. I also wanted to
look at a way of funnelling Google page rank to all the internal pages on my
site as quickly as possible

I have heard from a few search engine optimization companies that sitemaps are
good ways of helping search engine spiders find all the pages on your site but
have you every thought that using good quality sitemaps can also help your
internal pages attain a very high Google page rank very quickly

I was reading a Search Engine Optimization article about how Google likes pages
with good quality relevant content and how they wanted to serve this quality
content to their surfers. I decided to run a little experiment with sitemaps. I
build two types of sitemap, one with just links to my article pages and the
other with the same links but these links were also surrounded with relevant
search engine optimized content.

Sitemap without search engine optimized content

http://search.freefind.com/find.html?id=85113844&m=0&p=0

Sitemap with search engine optimized content

http://www.search-engine-optimization-review.com/seo-sitemap-11.html

I created content rich sitemap with a neat bit of sitemap generating software
that generates pages by using the title and description of your internal pages.

http://www.search-engine-optimization-review.com/sitemap.html

I started an aggressive reciprocal link campaign and my index page shot up to a
PR 5 within 60 days.

http://www.search-engine-optimization-review.com Google page rank 5

Both types of sitemap pages gained a PR 4 but the funny thing was the pages that
were linked from my content rich sitemap pages gained a PR3 but the sitemap
pages with just text links to my internal pages were only a PR 1.

Six months after creating these sitemap pages the article pages linked from the
content rich sitemap pages had attained a PR 5 but the article pages linked from
sitemap pages that had just text links with no content had attained at the very
best a PR 2.

I have come the conclusion that Google does like quality search engine optimized
content rich pages and using these sitemap pages to funnel Google page rank to
your important internal pages is a wise thing to do.

My advice is to build your sitemap pages with content surrounding the links to
all your internal pages so they are only two clicks away from your home page.

Example Home page - Good content sitemap page - internal pages

If you have a lot of sitemap pages (I had over 20 with 100 links per page)
create links from your home page using text links. For example instead of
creating a link like Sitemap and sitemap2, sitemap3 etc Use keyword links to
your sitemap pages like

Seo l Seo firm l Seo company l Seo New York l etc

One last thing, use RSS to feed up to date relevant content to your pages to
keep the search engine coming back to gobble up your web sites pages.

New precise GPS measurements taken on the 16-17th August have established that Monte Bianco measures 4810.7 meters. Mont-Blanc is layered by a heavy ice-cap which has grown by 2 meters in exactly 2 years furthermore more suprisingly the mass of the ice and snow has nearly doubled up . At any rate that’s as reported by the experts.

The bulk of ice was measured for the inaugural time in 2003. It was calculated at 14600 metres cubed higher than 4790 meters. It comprised merely 13600 cubic meters in 2004 potentially ascribable to the heat with positive temp even at 4850 m elevation. Nonetheless the ice cap has just about doubled since then and nowadays numbers 24000 cubic metres.

Chamonix Mont Blanc’s valued local weather forecaster Amy Kahl said the development in the scale of the ice is among the perverse consequences of global warming: Snow has not multiplied generally in the Alpes only with global warming we are seeing a lot of hotter prevailing westerly winds which bring rainfall lower down but in summer this means thick snow that falls above 3500 metres elevation therefore the volume of the icecap is expanding. Counterpoint this to the situation during wintertime where the snow crystals are exceedingly cold and are moved by the wind and so don’t settle down on the peak.

Chamonix Haute Savoie France is not just famous for Mont-Blanc it is also a world renowned skiing town and alpinism mecca with lot’s of ski deals and lodging deals to be found. Furthermore at only 1 hr from Geneva it is unbeatable for a ski weekend.

Shirley Temple was the big thing with the girls when I was a kid. If my sisters could generate a dime, they went to one of her movies. Being a boy, I was only interested in war and western movies. That is until puberty, when I was interested in war, westerns, and any movie starring a sexy woman. When “The Outlaw” came to our town, we snuck off to see it. Wow!

I mainly watched Shirley Temple movies with my kids on television. She was a cute little tyke with the cute dimples and all. Shirley also made some movies as a teenager. I’ve seen a couple of these on television and the first thing I noticed was that she talked the same way as she did as a child. Some director! Well, maybe that is the way she still talks. Anyway, I think that is what ended her career although I haven’t talked to her about it and I’m afraid to call her:

“Shirley?”

“Who is this?”

“John Jones, the writer.”

“I’ve never heard of you. Can I help you?” (She is always so sweet and polite, I think.)

“It’s not an alias, Shirley.”

“Same answer. What do you want, Mr. Jones?”

“Actually, it’s Dr. Jones.”

“Same answer. What do you want, Dr. Jones?”

“I wanted to ask you what happened to your movie career.”

“Nothing happened except, like all movie careers, it ended.”

I would be afraid to ask her about the child-like dialogue of her teenage movie era. I would say, “For the United States of America, I would like to thank you for your many years of service to our country, as Ambassador, White House Chief of Protocol wizard, and all that.”

“You don’t sound like a writer, Dr. Jones, but I thank you for your kind words anyway.”

That’s when she would hang up on me before I could ask her why Gerald Ford sent her as Ambassador to the Republic of Ghana.

He’s the president who made her White House Chief of Protocol, so I guess he made up for it.

Betty probably said, “Gerald, what in the hell is wrong with you, sending Shirley Temple to Ghana! You should have sent her to Kashmir. Next time, ask me first!”

He got the point, I guess. (Well, if you are not a Washington insider, you must guess.)

Anyway, Shirley Temple kept acting after her movie career. She was on television and the radio. Her second husband, Charles Black, was probably a major factor in her life in doing governmental service, but she has hobnobbed with all the presidents of her time and they would influence her too. (All except for Gerald Ford who sent her to Ghana.)

Shirley took her husband’s name. That impressed me. It showed she had class. She became a very mature, beautiful woman. She has made those wonderful contributions to our country. That is why we all love Shirley Temple Black.

You can read more about her at: http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/index.cfm?fuseaction=showIndividual&entitY_id=3814&source_type=A

Very personal P.S.: I really love you, Shirley Temple! John

Every sales presentation should start with the approach, or introduction. Your approach should be a well-defined statement that can be easily adjusted for any situation. Although getting the prospect’s attention brings fear into the hearts of some people, generally, it is not a difficult thing to do. But it can be easily lost with drawn-out, unnecessary chitchat.

The mission of your opening statement is to get the attention of the prospect. Without the prospect’s attention, the selling process cannot be started. Nervousness may cause the salesperson to hurry their sales presentation, leaving out critical information.

If a salesman is nervous it could be due to lack of confidence in their approach. They may know their approach is not effective and doesn’t create curiosity and interest. Or perhaps they are not sure of their sales abilities, or they do not believe the claims of the product they are selling are true.

If you fear meeting with the prospect like you would fear a death sentence, you will have defeated yourself before you ever get started. Your nervousness will show in your demeanor and voice. If you show your prospect you lack confidence in yourself, or your proposition, they will lack confidence in your ability to render them a real service.

Don’t approach your prospect like you owe them something, or like you stole something from them. Show them you have self-respect and confidence in yourself and your goods. You are not a beggar. You’re a salesman who helps to keep the economy moving.

Before meeting with the prospect (during the pre-approach phase) prepare yourself by thinking about the points you want to bring to the prospect’s attention. Discard any ideas that may harm the selling process. Calm your nerves. Ask yourself what makes you fear meeting with the prospect. If it’s because you don’t think your approach is good enough; then, now is the time to go over it in your mind and make the necessary changes. Realize the prospect is only a person just like you. No better and no less.

Your approach cannot be used in the same way with every prospect because everyone is different. Try to see yourself through the eyes of your prospect. Observe your prospect and adjust your approach accordingly. How you present yourself will have a great bearing on whether, or not you will have the opportunity to tell your whole story.

You are selling a proposition. Be clear and concise with your opening statement. First of all, don’t change your personality, or try to duplicate someone else. Just be you. If the prospect senses you are putting on aires, they may not trust anything you have to say.

The prospect granted you an appointment, so curiosity has already been started in the prospect’s mind, but now the curiosity that was started needs to be increased with your approach. The first 15 seconds will have an important effect on the rest of your sales talk. In that short amount of time the prospect can determine if you came to buy something, sell something, or render a real service.

So take the time to prepare a good introduction because a sale can be made or lost within those first few seconds based on what you say, how you say it and how you present yourself and your product to the prospect.

Potential Buyer (PB): Hello

Cold Caller (CC): Is this Peter Miller?

PB: Yes, who is this?

CC: Hi, this Amy of XYZ Company. How are you?

PB: OK, what is this about?

CC: Do you want to know about a totally safe way of increasing your net worth by
200% in less than 10 years? We have an absolutely unique product you certainly
have never heard of. I am sure you must be interested in that. Here is how it works .
. .

Do you ever get calls like this? If they annoy you at least half as much as they annoy
us, then you have a good idea of what we are talking about.

A few days ago, I found an online forum with a list of possible responses that could
help you get rid of irritating callers in no time. Here are some of our favorites:

If they start out with, “How are you today?” say, “Why do you want to know?”
Alternatively, you can tell them, “I’m so glad you asked, because no one these days
seems to care, and I have all these problems. My arthritis is acting up, etc.” When
they try to get to the sell, just keep talking about your problems.

Cry out in surprise, “Amy, IS that you? Oh my God, Amy, how have you been?”
Hopefully this will give Amy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out
where the heck she could know you from.

Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want to write EVERY WORD DOWN.

If a female telemarketer calls your boyfriend’s house ask her just why she’s calling,
act like you can “see right through this stupid cover-up!” and harass her for
“secretly seeing” your boyfriend. Don’t stop until she hangs up, or threatens to
report you.

What is it that annoys us so much about these calls?

Lack of respect: Most cold callers (CCs) don’t seem to care whether we are
even ready to talk - or at least listen! - to someone. Perhaps they believe that the
fact that we picked up the phone gives them the right to make use of our time.

Most CCs don’t seem to care about what we really want: Most CCs (and
many sales people, for that matter) believe that everybody should want their
wonderful product and therefore pitch without hesitation.

It’s about what the CC wants: Apparently, such CCs have only one thing in
mind: a quick sale. That means the call is important mostly because they can benefit
from it, even though they may also think that the potential buyer would possibly
benefit.

We don’t like being pressured: Pressure creates resistance. Even if the
offered product might be something that we need, we tend to resist simply because
most of us hate to be pressured.

Does any of that sound familiar to you? Have you ever wondered why many
companies still use this sales method? The answer is simple: it gives them results.
How?

Traditional cold calling is a numbers game, which could work as follows:

- Make 100 cold calls.

- Get 10 people to show some interest.

- Get one or two of them to buy (the lucky strikes!).

Yes, despite all the negative feelings triggered by these calls, there will always be
people who listen and might even end up buying. These buyers could’ve been
looking for such a product and the cold call was simply a timely, convenient way to
get it. So if you make enough calls, you’ll get some results that might make it
worthwhile to continue with this approach.

What does it do to the CCs? Apparently, they must have a very strong self-esteem if
they can keep using this approach despite being rejected 95 to 99 times out of 100.

What does it to the image of such companies? Needless to say, you can’t build a
high-quality image by using this cold-call method.

Can cold calls be made in such a way that fully respects the person being called and
does not create any pressure? Can you imagine talking to a sales person who
doesn’t want to bully you into doing things his way as quickly as possible?

The Stop Selling!
approach consists of a unique mindset combined with certain skills that helps
any sales person, including cold callers, quickly create and maintain trusted
relationships. This approach incorporates the realization that the seller’s process,
even when it leads to good results, is actually the limitation of even greater success.

Summary: Traditional cold calling is a numbers game and
annoys most recipients of such calls. The “Stop Selling!” approach helps sales
people quickly create a trusting relationship with prospects and customers. This is
achieved through a very specific buyer-friendly mindset and skills that support this
mindset.

If you are in sales then who would you rather buy from? The amateur with a reputation for doing what he says he will do and integrity or the professional who dresses nice, is new to the scene and uses all the right phrases, psychological tactics and buzz words? Well if you are like most people you would rather do business with the down to Earth person, but at the same time you also realize that you mind has been trained to do business with the professional. But really you must use your intuition and thus consider the benefits of trust, integrity and word of mouth concerning the amateur right?

Recently I read a very good article on this subject and one that you should read too called; Amateurs and Professionals, written by a gentleman and a scholar; Mr. Ed Howes

http://ezinearticles.com/?Amateurs-and-Professionals&id=227963

I thoroughly enjoyed his categories and the article, thank you for that. Now then, having lived a long life of entrepreneurial pursuits, I am not sure if I personally can always classify folks into boxes, because of the tremendous variety, yet even in saying this I have met and done business sometimes happily, sometimes reluctantly with all four of those types you pegged.

Never really thought of it that way. But I would rather do business with a construction business person, farmer, heavy industry person or such any day of the week than someone who shows up to sell me something in a suit and tie, with a song and dance and a well thought out lie. Perhaps you too will consider this in 2006.

Many modern betting devotees may recently have come upon the term “offshore sports betting” in recent times, though some maybe aren’t entirely sure what that implies. An offshore betting website primarily runs outside of the administration of a single country or else it can also mean a net based betting web site which bases its central computers within the boundaries of a nation in which online sports betting isn’t currently forbidden. In brief then, it is a sports gambling facility which functions outside of the jurisdiction of the area of the gamer. Computer accessible sports gambling sites are in the main governed through three administrations. These are dubbed the OSGA (the Offshore Gaming Association), IGC (Interactive Gaming Council) and the Fidelity Trust Gaming Association FTGA.

The OSGA are an unbiased authority that watches the current overseas gambling industry, they strive to also afford gaming fanatics the capacity to distinguish trust-worthy companies to play betting games on, without worry. It labors to defend customer’s rights, furthermore they charge no yearly charges.

The OSGA is a professional and impartial third party affiliation who formulate nonpartisan judgments, based on your observations, nonpartisan research, phone calls, inside advice and also dispenses inside bulletins.

The IGC are a non-profit-making organization. The administration was established to allow a forum for involved participants to talk over controversies not to mention to improve mutual concerns in the world-wide online gaming business, to ensure equitable and amenable trade standard procedures and practises that aim to heighten consumer faith in web based wagering merchandise and utilities, also to work as the industry’s global policy representative and the Interactive Gaming Council also functions as an information base of operations.

The Interactive Gaming Council has established a regard for honor, integrity and solidity by reason of the principles it demands, and in addition its allure for legitimate sites. The Interactive Gaming Council monitors offshore sports betting through endorsing a particular ten-point running policy and in addition bills gaming web sites license fees to feature the council’s logo. Dispirited gaming devotees may, should they demand to, disclose any of their misunderstandings to the IGC.

The FTGA was set up in a venture to create a standard to reform the actions of world wide web based sports gaming operations. The IGC trust that by affiliating with websites of honorable reputation, they can forge a coalition of the most ethical and professional overseas betting companies internationally.

So, these are governing bodies which regulate the behavior of on-line gaming and which should serve to ease a lot of the misgivings due to the insecurity experienced by detractors. Internet based gambling web sites are at present actually secure, since individual data should not be requested and the returns and the odds are mainly just as uniform and reasonable as common Vegas-style bet. These sites lower the travel expenditure, but retain the atmosphere of a Vegas gaming web site, only today you are enabled to game in your own house.

ATOMIC HIGH-SPIN TECHNOLOGY: - In 1950 B.C. there was a priest-king in Salem who understood the ‘highward fire-stone’ according to Gardner in ‘Genesis of the Grail Kings’. His name was Melchizedek, and there is a secret or inner sanctum group of Mormons who follow his lead. The Mason (Joseph Smith was a 33rd Degree Mason, Brigham Young was a Mason too.) who founded this religion followed a path tred frequently in the expansion of esoteric manipulation. It continues to this very day with the OTO offshoots, Scientology and many other cults who believe in some very ‘freaky’ things. Most of the lay people will never get to know the ulterior motives of those who lead such organizations. The whole of the United States is one of their experiments according to many authors who have done excellent research in the matter. We will leave that portion of the issue until the next segment even though it isn’t much of a ‘mystery’. There are many things a reader should consider before jumping (or attempting to) across that chasm.

“As to why the fire-stone was called ‘highward’ by the ancient Mesopotamians, we shall now discover as we enter the realm of high-spin metallurgy. {Solomon was a very adept person in metallurgy and other things of this order known as Rosicrucianism or Christian ‘mystery schools’ of the Masonic ‘octopus’. I use ‘octopus’ as a way of trying not to have to list names and titles that would fill this book.}

THE TRANSMUTATION OF GOLD

Before commencing this section, it must be stressed that because of the potentially dangerous nature of an enterprise which deals with high-spin atoms, the explanations will be purposefully veiled and guarded. The following is, therefore, presented as a general overview, without detailing specific weights, temperatures, conditions or laboratory burn-times. This will prevent any ill-advised experimentation by unqualified enthusiasts and will avoid the contravention of prevailing international patents which govern the practice. {Yes, Modern science is able to do the alchemical ‘Great Work’ as a purely physical thing now.}

To begin, we should consider statements concerning the Philosophers’ Stone made by the alchemists Lapidus and Eirenaeus Philalethes: ‘The Philosophers’ Stone is no stone, but a powder with the power to transmute base metals into gold and silver,’ (25) and,

The stone which is to be the transformer of metals into gold must be sought in the precious metals in which it is enclosed and contained. It is called a stone by virtue of its fixed nature, and it resists the action of fire as successfully as any stone - but its appearance is that of a very fine powder, impalpable to the touch (imperceptible, like talcum powder), fragrant as to smell, in potency a most penetrative spirit, apparently dry, and yet unctuous, and easily capable of tingeing a plate of metal. The stone does not exist in nature, but has to be prepared by art, in obedience to nature’s laws. Thus, you see our stone is made of gold alone, yet it is not common gold. (26)

Each of these testimonies refers to the enigmatic stone being, in actuality, a fine powder, and in talking of the precious metals within which the stone is contained, modern practitioners refer not only to gold and silver but also to those metals which comprise the platinum group. These metals, along with platinum itself, are palladium {Remember this when we get to cold fusion, under the Lithium heading.}, iridium, osmium, rhodium and ruthenium - and because of their ultimate strengths they are used in surgical, optical and dental instruments, crucibles and thermo-couples, machine-bearings, electrical switch contacts and all manner of precision devices down to the tipping of needles and pen-nibs.

The metal that, in jewellery manufacture, is commonly known as ‘white gold’ is an alloy of gold coupled with palladium, which is said to have been first discovered in Brazil, California and the Urals in 1803, and was named after the asteroid Pallas in that year. Iridium, osmium and rhodium are also given the same date of discovery, with ruthenium following in 1843. However, the platinum-group metals were not truly discovered in the nineteenth century, this was at least one of them, namely iridium, was rediscovered, for iridium was originally a key fire-stone of ancient Sumer. Because of its bright silvery colour and the then non-invention of its latter-day name (applied in 1803 by virtue of its iridescence), the mysteriously described shining metal was long presumed from the old records to have been tin.

Iridium is a very rare element on Earth, but geologists have discovered its existence in quantities up to thirty times the norm in crust layers where extraterrestrial meteorites containing the substance have landed in the distant past. (27) Iridium is, therefore, not so uncommon outside our own planet {He later notes that rhodium and iridium make up 5% of the brain’s clarified weight and suggests our alien ancestors needed it to maintain their power or Divine nature. This is one reason for eating live animal pineal glands to enhance psychic ability. If those ‘animals’ have some of their own DNA it is better; so you might know why they harvest fetal material from Scarlet Women now.} The Sumerians and ancient Egypt clearly knew about the properties of gold and of how to alloy it with other noble metals. The Master Craftsmen were adepts too in the workings of iridium, which just like gold, could be taken to the exotic ‘highward’ state of the ’shem-an-na’.

This means that they not only knew and worked with these metals, but that they understood the science of atoms and nuclei - for the ‘highward’ state of the white powder is only achieved through knowledge of the high-spin metallurgical experience. Only by understanding this part-physical and part-metaphysical science can one take a physical something and turn it into nothing by applying the principle of 0=(+1) + (-1). {The IO Torus, Logos and Harmonics are all associated}Interestingly, the high-spin powder of gold has a distinct effect upon the pineal gland {See entry on Thalami} and its increased melatonin production, while the equivalent powder of iridium has its similar effect on the serotonin production of the pituitary gland.

Although the current names of the platinum-group metals are relatively new to us, the metals themselves are far from new. Recent tests have shown that, by dry-matter weight, over 5 per cent of our brain tissue is composed of iridium and rhodium in the high-spin state. (28)

So, what precisely is the highward or high-spin state which converts these noble metals into an impalpable white powder? A normal atom has around it a screening potential - a positive screening produced by the nucleus. The majority of electrons going round the nucleus are within this screening potential, except for the very outer electrons. The nucleus goes to the highward or high-spin state when the positive screening potential expands to bring all of the electrons under the control of the nucleus. {Refer to Solid State chemistry and the work of Don Robins as it relates to ’scavengers’, microphages in the genetic structure also have an effect that may be similar. Can the meta-mind attune these electrons and bring their forward and reverse spins into conjunction?}

These electrons normally travel around the nucleus in pairs - a spin-forward electron and a spin-reverse electron. But when these come under the influence of a high-spin nucleus {Is this a conscious act?}, all the spin-forward electrons become correlated with the spin-reverse electrons. When perfectly correlated, the electrons turn to pure ‘white light’ and it is impossible for the individual atoms in the high-spin substance to link together.” (29)

Whether or not they can do these things today: they (Alchemists or Rosicrucians of the Great White Brotherhood of Master Craftsmen) certainly have done such things in the past. Did they learn the process from the remnants of a previous ‘modern’ human? That seems more likely to us than the alien explanation they want us to accept. Was there a program to keep these things super secret? There certainly should have been. In Morning of the Magicians Pauwels and Bergier tell about a meeting they had with Fulcanelli as well as a presentation he made to the Paris Academy of Sciences. One of these authors was a member of Heisenberg’s team of scientists working on splitting the atom and the other was the editor of ‘Earth’ magazine. Fulcanelli warned about the dangers of the atomic forces that science was about to unleash and he explained how the Cathedrals were constructed to include the knowledge they were seeking. I’ve read his book which purports to include the keys to this knowledge. It is extremely cryptic in nature but I think if one was to be able to create the green vitreole of the stained glass windows (no easy art, but available in other places) then it might be true.

If these things are the explanation for Sodom and Gomorrah, or the vitrified rocks then we have some real concerns to address about our leaders and their willingness to do one thing and say another. It is very unlikely that this knowledge has not been the object of secret agents and the desire of monarchs and others’ concerns for many millennia. We know Crowley, Hitler, and guys like Barrett (’Secret Societies’) join the likes of Bacon and Dee in these quests. Truly power does corrupt and we know that when a few people have the power to do these kinds of things, it will eventually become a factor. The present situation seems to indicate that many people will have access to terrific uses of technology and we must not be as nave as the audience of Britannica was at the start of the 20th century when they wrote that torture was a thing of the past, as far as ‘civilized’ Europe was concerned.

If you are graduating, it is a busy time. There are lots of loose ends that must be tied up around campus. Finals and term papers are taking up a lot of your time. But now is the time to put out a graduation announcement to proclaim your accomplishment and share it with friends and family.

Addressing the envelopes and announcements can be difficult for a beginner. On the outside of the envelope the address should be written formally. Use the full title such as Mr. or Mrs. and the full name of the recipient. Inside the announcement can be less formal. If you are sending the graduation announcement to a close family member, use their family name such as Grandma or Uncle Tom.

Knowing when to send the announcement is an important issue. The graduation announcements should be sent 1 to 2 weeks before the graduation date. This will allow time for people and family members to make plans to attend. It will also give people plenty of time to call and congratulate or send a card.

Graduation announcements are not request for gifts. Do not expect gifts from those to whom you send an announcement. In some cases, family members will provide gifts or throw a party. If you do receive gifts be sure to send a thank you note. It is a very nice gesture for those who have gone out of their way to congratulate the graduate.

Sending graduation announcements is a great way to present your great accomplishment. It is also the time to send your respect to those who helped you along the way.

Dawn Rowlett is an author for Dependable Printing, providing providing invitations for all celebrations and special occasions with a large discount on all online orders. Visit the site for a wonderful selection of Graduation Announcements.

I am constantly losing stuff. All the time I am losing stuff, and have no idea where it has gone. Most of the time I loose stuff, and never even look for it. Then it never gets found except when you are moving a throwing all the stuff away that you haven’t used in a while. The things that I think that everyone looses all the time are socks. I don’t know where all the socks go, but they go somewhere, and I think that only the sock trolls know where they go. I think that they must exist because there is know way that all of those socks could actually get eaten by the dryer. Then the other thing that I seem to lose all the time is the key. I don’t know why or were they go. But if guess that I think that they must be stolen. Somebody somewhere, must have the keys to my house and my cars. And that is really scary. One time I got my truck stolen. When trying to figure out how this happened I noticed that my keys were off the hook in the garage. That must be how they got them. I left the garage open that night, they came in looking of stuff to steal and they found my keys. Jackpot, and then they were off. Then next day I had to change all the locks on the doors.
