An Insult or a Compliment

Annette and I just got an email from someone telling us they'd seen our photo online at an - ehem - unexpected website. I immediately clicked on over to the site to find out how our image was being used to promote Healthy Andropause: The Safe, Effective Alternative to Looking Old, Impotent and Pale (click here to see it - UPDATE: upon my request, they have taken down our image, but just imagine our photo being where that burly man with the moustache now is.)

Annette laughed a lot. But I'm not sure if I should take it as a compliment - "andropausal" men hope to look viral like the guy in the photo with the beautiful girl - or should I be insulted that they used the photo without asking permission and somehow "tanned" my lilly-white skin to make me look less - i dunno - testosterone deficent.

How To Avoid Being Robbed/Phished

"Phishing" is a form of online confidence scam. It can be very difficult to distinguish between legitimate emails from banks and other online commerce services and phishing scams.
According to data from e-mail security firm MailFrontier, only 4 percent of users can spot a phished e-mail 100 percent of the time. That’s a very sobering thought as the holiday season is upon us and Americans flock online for their shopping needs.
But don't fear, help is here=> Test your phishing IQ by clicking HERE and taking the quiz. At the end of the quiz the website gives tells you how to avoid having online thieves phish your information.
(note: I only answered 7 out of 10 correctly)
