IJMC Instructions For Life

                    IJMC - Instructions For Life

This one was sent along through a lot of people...but I thought the 
top-most comments should be left intact. Also, you may notice that this 
appears to be a chain letter...which I don't like...but if you look 
closely, you'll notice that the good stuff starts with sending it to 0 
people. Fair enough in my book...besides, I'm sending it to lots of 
people...we'll see how my luck goes. :)                           -dave
