Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!
A philosopher is a sort of intellectual yokel who gawks
at things that sensible people take for granted."

Thanks to Art for this story:
A property manager of single family residence was showing a unit to
prospective tenants and asking the usual questions.
"Professionally employed?" he asked.
"We're a military family," the wife answered.
"Children?"
"Oh, yes! Ages nine and twelve," she answered proudly.
"Animals?"
"Oh, no," she said earnestly. "They're very well behaved."
Stalin appears before Vladimir Putin in a dream,
and asks what he can do to help.
"What can I do?" Putin groans.
"The economy is collapsing, the miners are
on strike, the army is useless and nobody
treats us with any respect."
"Shoot the entire government and then
paint the Kremlin blue," says Stalin.
"Why blue?"
"I had a feeling you'd only want to
discuss the second half."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Georgia
Rep. Hank Johnson: Guam could 'tip over and capsize'
Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services
Committee hearing on the defense budget Thursday.
Addressing Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy's
Pacific Fleet, Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and
said sternly, "My fear is that the whole island will become so
overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."
Talking very strained and slowly, like somebody who was was
trying to sound sophishicated after a large breakfast of
spiked water melon and hash brownies, he also mentioned
that he ish very concerned about glow-bull warming.

Re: Copy to another machine on the home network
Dear Webby,
I need to copy a bunch of files from my laptop to the desktop
once a day, but really don't want the rigmarole of manually
stepping 27 levels deep down into Documents and Settings, etc.
on both machines. There MUST be a better way for doing that!
Megan
Dear Megan
First make sure you got the address bar on top of the
File Explorer turned on.
Next clear a spot on your desktop big enough for two icons,
preferably along the edge, where you let the important icons
peek around open windows.
Open a File Explorer and waddle down to that folder on one
machine.
Open a second File explrer and waddle down to that folder on
the other machine, ready to drag the files from one machine
to the other.
Now look at the address bar on top of each File Explorer.
At the left of the address bar you will see a tiny icon.
Drag that to the prepared spot on the desktop, and rename
it to for example DskTop
Do the same with the File Explorer showing the laptop, and
rename the shortcut LAP
From now on you just hit those two icons, and File Explorers
will open up already set to those specific directories, ready for
you to drag the files across.
If you are not scared of the raw DOS command line, and if you
or anybody is interested in it, I'll show you how to make a bat,
that will copy the files across whenever you click on ONE icon.
Have FUN!

The judge read the charges, then asked,
"Are you the defendant in this case?"
"No sir, your honor, sir," replied Jill, "I've got
a lawyer to do the defendin'. I'm the person
who done it."
Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Finding Extra Plants in Pony Packs
I'm frugal, but do afford myself the "luxury" of buying the
small plants for my backyard raised garden and flower
beds. Today I decided to get started with the planting and
stopped to by a few plants from a mom and pop's roadside
stand not far from home. Upon examining the little four-packs,
which they sell for $1.25, I realized that many of the packs
had two or more plants growing in each of the four cups.
By spending a little extra time looking, I was able to buy
packs with as many as 9 plants in them rather than the 4
which are usually in the ones which come from the big box
garden centers who get them from huge greenhouse
operations. I saved money; I kept the profit to the merchant
in our community; and I got very healthy plants that hadn't
gone through several days of shipping and stocking.
