There is no better place to check stories, hoaxes, facts, rumors, fiction than http://www.truthorfiction.com. I know many people like to send on items that sound good, make us tear up, help us be mad at politics, funny stories that make us laugh, encourage our souls, etc. But I hope that you will avail yourself of the services of the TruthOrFiction.com website to check all this out...when it comes to you...before you send it on to others...to see if it IS truth or fiction. It is well worth your every effort to check in on the website.

And...beyond what you get by just going to the site, there is an extra service that will allow you to get "web-alerts" of great value to your computer, your business computers, your sanity at what gets sent through cyberspace. I encourage you to consider subscribing. As a case in point...read below.

Judy and I personally know the man who has founded this website. We trust what he does...says...and encourages within http://www.truthorfiction.com. This has been an important website to us...and will continue to be as we use the web for both important personal and work communication.

I've recently received an increase in many incorrect to untrue items that are being passed off as "gospel truth." 'Tis amazing what any of us (yup, even me) fall for...but, I, too, am learning my lessons. :)

I sincerely hope you will take consistent advantage of all that is offered on http://www.truthorfiction.com...before you send anything on to anyone else. I'll do my best to do the same.

In light of that...here is an email which was received this morning from http://www.truthorfiction.com. Be safe...be careful...be fun and playful...be truthful...and be at peace today.
