Interesting letter Gary's posted.

Are we about to see a kinder, gentler Sir Gary of Halbert?

Read it here: http://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com/..._ask_alice.htm

more people die in the Us every year because of prescription and non prescrition drugs than any other cause . how many kids lives are getting ruined because they are being put on drugs . To supposedly help them . Most kids who commit suicide or commit a homicide are on some prescription.

Thinking your a weak person because you get addicted to these drugs . When thes drugs are designed to cause dependence . Is like thinking your week because you get severly injured falling out a 5th story window .

I've been on sleep medication once .. and within two weeks i started exibiting bi polar symptoms .. i was swinging from manic anxiety to depression in the space of hours or half hours .

...

as for kinder and gentler .. now that he has to do all of his own writing . He might be quieter. and no surprise he tapped the conference he said he wouldn't tape

Ken

hahahaha. Yeah, I'm glad you caught that too. It's only a suprise to the noobest of noobs. (Now where did I hide my VISA card?)

On a sidenote, it's very weird about his former assistant. Suddenly announcing that she's getting married without giving Halbert a head's up and leaving without training her replacement. They were together a long time and because she's a JV mysticholic she treats him this way. Very weird stuff.

J-

I try to avoid all medication like the flu. Even apsirin and ibuprofen I take very sparingly. And I never take Tylenol.

But I don't want to get into a religion debate, but it's sad that we're still in the dark ages in some ways.

Actually, about Theresa...

Gary new she was getting married and was supposed to be leaving him on the first of this year.

Gary was referrring to the fact that He didn't realize how controlling her husband was and that instead of february first he wanted her out the day after christmas or whatever.

So without notice she had to try and "cram-teach" the new assistant...

That's why he talks about it being so sudden and all.

Caleb,

That's how I read it as well. And I know that Gary relied heavily on Theresa to handle all the daily stuff that kept the company going. And at the same time, I've heard some nice things about Liliana. Let's all hope she can keep Gary at the top of his game.

By the way, I recommend you get the CDs. I hear there's even a bonus CD of a guest speaker who was brilliant! What was his name again?

John Gilvary

I've only gotten one email from Liliana and it was very timely and answered my question.

I was actually at the first root canal seminar in Florida, so I don't need the CD's...

However, I was interested in hearing what you had to say John about the merchant accounts

Hey, you're *that* Caleb

Saw your name on the board before but didn't link it to you. How's the DM piece coming along? (btw, I'm the Erik you sent a mail to shortly after the seminar)

Hi Erik,

Yeah, I recognized you from your picture! (that's something that I've got to get done soon--last time I tried it wouldn't do a pic above 15kb...so I lost interest...makes me believe all the more in ads that don't do anything to disrupt the selling process)

Anyhow, the piece I'm working on is coming along nicely. Got to do some edits to it tonight and then finalize on what shopping cart solution we are going to use, we have to find one that can support "The 30 day hold".

Then we're ready to launch!

I don't know if I'd have the guts to share that Xanax story.

I admire Gary for his willingness to tell it like it is, including stuff other people would probably not want to talk about.
