Happy New Year all you newbies,

I myself am one as well. I'm in the most southwesterly city in the continental United States. Imperial Beach CA., I joined a couple days ago and am looking forward to '06.
Good luck everyone and here's to a very prosperous future for us all..

I'm also a new member..I just jumped in feet first, not knowing what the heck I'm doing. I also cannot reach my upline. I think their dead, but here's what I did.

  I signed up for business cards, I signed up for leads, (don't have too many friends and my family is full of dream busters). I received about 25 auto responses telling me that some of my leads watched the flash. So I IMMEDIATELY called them back. I had one lead thank me and said he may sign up just because I responded by phone instead of E-Mail. If I get their voice mail I leave a short message thanking them and leave my contact info., and today I got my first downline signup. HORRAY!!!!
  I can't wait to get my cards to start passing them around, I also bring up GDI to everyone I talk to, ie..bank tellers, cashiers, postal workers, etc...
I'm actually looking forward to the future now...and I'll leave you with my favorate quote from Sister Act 2, "If you want to be somebody, If you want to go somewhere, you'd better wake up and pay attention."

Bye all,
Ernest
