Good Morning, !

Facebook saboteurs at Microsoft murdered the old Skype.

Since MS paid twice as much for Skype as Halliburton plans to
charge for the Southern Wall, they figured they can murder the
old, compact skype and force everybody to use the space wasting
Yuppie Skype.
I will be searching for a skin with a compact look. If you find
one, please tell me!

Thanks to Doc for this classic:
Rick, fresh out of accounting school, went to a interview
for a good paying job. The company boss asked various
questions about him and his education, but then asked him,
"What is three times seven?"

"Twenty-two," Rick replied. After he left, he double-checked
it on his calculator (he *knew* he should have taken it to
the interview!) and realized he wouldn't get the job.

About two weeks later, Rick got a letter that said he was
hired for the job! He was not one to look a gift horse in
the mouth, but he was still very curious. The next day, he
went in and asked why he got the job, even though he got
such a simple question wrong. The boss shrugged and said,

"Well, you were the closest."

Anni wanted a divorce from Sam.  The judge asked,
"What fault do you find with your husband?"

"Your Honor, he's a liar, a brute, a thief and a
brainless idiot."

"That's very serious," exclaimed his Honor, "Can
you prove all that?"

"Prove it? Why everybody knows it."

"If you knew all this, then why did you marry him?"

"I didn't know it before I married him."

Sam shouted out, "She did too!"

Tennessee

Tennessee mom put 8-month-old baby in 
neighbor's unused outdoor freezer, 
closed lid

A Tennessee mom is facing a child abuse charge after deputies
said she put her baby in a backyard freezer on someone else's
property.

According to WJHL-TV, Brittany C. Smith, 19, of Johnson City, was
arrested Jan. 3 after a resident saw her with the baby near the
outdoor freezer, authorities said. Witnesses said they found
Smith alone in a crawlspace and the 8-month-old in the freezer,
which had a closed lid and "about an inch of water in the
bottom," the news station reported.

The condition of the baby, who was hospitalized, was not
immediately known, WJHL reported.

Smith was charged with child abuse and neglect, burglary and a
probation violation, according to the Washington County Sheriff's
Office.

Re: MS Office Requirement in school

Dear DearWebby,
At my daughter's school they are requiring kids to buy or rent
Microsoft Office and claim that industry and commerce use MS
Office and not "hundreds of different wannabe programs".
Obviously she has been bribed by the local MS seller and has no
clue about reality. At the place I work, for example, we have
used Office Libre for years. It works just fine, and I don't give
hiring preferences to people, who are limited to MS Office.
I prefer people, who can get the work done and who don't waste
time whining about poor Microsoft.

What do you think I should do about my daughter?
Rea

Dear Rea
You can make a stink in the local paper. Most likely a lot of
parents will feel the same as you.

You can also tell your daughter to just save her work in
Microsoft format. She can do the work in Libre format and then
save it as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, etc.
That way she learns in the way industry and commerce works, but
to her teacher it looks as if she had paid for Microsoft office.

Have FUN!
DearWebby

My friend, an ex-Marine Aviator wanted to show off his 
new twin-engine plane. I was riding along as he put it 
through its paces. 
Suddenly, we were caught in a violent thunderstorm, with 
lightning crashing all around us. Next, we lost the radio and 
most of the instruments.

As we were being tossed around in the sky, George said, 
"Uh-oh!" 

Fearing the worst, I asked, "What's wrong now?"

George replied, "I got the hiccups. Do something to scare me."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Thriftyfun.com
Saucer Decoupage Picture Frame 
If you any have saucers without a cup, you can cut a family 
picture to fit in the center of the saucer. Glue the picture to 
the saucer and decorate around the picture. Let it dry and 
then give it a coating of decoupage. Let that dry and apply 
a second coating. 
Thriftyfun.com
Cheap spar varnish, the type of varnish
that is mopped onto hardwood decks of boats, will work fine too.
It is not quite as clear as expensive decoupage, but extremely
durable.
Have FUN!

They do it differently in Scottland!
Angus McKenzie comes home and finds his wife
in bed with his friend. He shoots his wife.

Later, at the pub, his friends ask him why he did that.
His reply was, "I can budget one bullet, but I got a lot
more friends than I want to buy bullets for."
