Good Morning,  !
It's Saturday, May 7

Costco seems to be changing from a wholesale supplier to
businesses to family entertainment. I went there this evening 
to get a month's worth of prescription medicines, and was
really surprised at the amount of families shopping. I am 
talking about full families, from gramma to baby in a stroller!

The wide isles and huge shopping carts, originally intended
for harried restaurant owners stocking up for a week or
month, are just perfect for families casually strolling along 
from sample station to sample station, enjoying the treats,
and piling supplies onto the cart.

I also saw quite a few families that had a laptop or netbook 
along, and it was not mom or dad using it, but one of the kids,
calling out the next item needed, and also entering what
went onto the cart and announcing the total cost after each 
item was added. 

Thanks to the cathedral height noise swallowing ceiling, all of
that activity did not cause a mall style racket. The absence
of teen hordes naturally helped, but also the fact that 
people talked in hushed voices, as if they were in a church.

I only had very few items, and had to laugh at the notion of
looking for an Express lane. That is definitely NOT in their 
concept. One simply looks for the shortest line and joins it.

They have two or three people working each register, and
it actually goes quite fast. 

Have FUN!

A young doctor had just opened office and felt really excited.
His secretary told him a man was here to see him. The young
doctor told her to send him in.

Pretending to be a busy doctor, he picked up the phone just as
the man came in. "Yes, that's right. The fee is $200. Yes, I'll
expect you ten past two. Alright. No later. I'm a very busy man."

He hung up and turned to the man waiting. "May I help you?"

"No," said the man, "I just came in to connect the phone."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to three burglars in Clay, NY

Cellphone 'pocket dials' 911
CLAY, N.Y. (AP) - An ill-timed, inadvertent 911 call led police to 
three larceny suspects overheard planning break-ins in 
upstate New York.

Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh says police already 
looking for a suspicious person got the unlikely assist when 
one of the men "pocket dialed" his cellphone's emergency 
number while driving near the scene of an earlier heist.

As a dispatcher relayed the conversation to deputies, the 
men discussed their plans, described their surroundings 
and even commented, "there go the cops now."

Walsh says that was enough for a deputy to turn around 
and stop the Kia Sportage full of tools stolen from a business 
in the Syracuse suburb of Clay. The dispatcher then heard 
the driver being asked for his license and registration.

The men arrested April 26 face grand larceny and stolen 
property charges.

Re: Camera Chips for W7

Dear Webby,
Windows 7 can handle camera chips larger than 2 GB with
no problem. You will be surprised at what you can do, once
you join the slow crowd!
Charles

Dear Charles
XP can handle 4 and 8 GB chips too, but a lot of older chip
readers and cameras have problems with those. So that you
don't have to worry about compatibility when you travel or
visit anybody, I usually recommend 2 GB chips.

If you NEED bigger chips for recording movies, just make sure
your chip reader can handle the chips that are bigger than
2 GB. Sometimes you just need a new driver, but you may 
have to get a new chip reader.

Have FUN

An elderly man goes into confession and says to the priest,
"Father, I'm 80 years old, married, have four kids and 11
grandchildren.
Last night I had an affair and made love to an 18-year-old girl.

The priest said: "Well, my son, when was the last time you
were in confession?"

"Never Father, I'm Jewish."

"Then why are you telling me?"

"I'm telling everybody...."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Use Meat Thermometer For Paper Spike
Recently, I inherited the task of organizing and cleaning the 
home of a lady who never threw anything out. I found a broken 
meat thermometer in the drawer and was going to toss it.

Then, I thought, "Hmmm what could I do with that?" It hit me that 
it looked like an simple version of a paper spike from office 
desks of long ago.

So, that is what it is now. My sample is just a post it, but you 
get the idea. I hope this helps to keep your paperwork straight 
and the landfill one less meat thermometer full.

Old Ms Molly tripped on the stairs and broke her leg.

The doctor put a cast on it and warned that she wasn't to
use the stairs until the cast came off.

Four months later he removed the cast and pronounced her
well on the way to recovery.

"Oh good," she responded.  "Is it all right for me to walk the
stairs now?"

"Yes," said the doctor, "if you will promise to be careful."

"I can't tell you what a relief it will be," she sighed.
"It was such a nuisance crawling outside and shinnying
up and down that drainpipe in the rain and snow all the time!"
