Whenever my aunt went to the doctor, she would complain to
me about the long delay she always endured. One day, when
my aunt's name was finally called, she was asked to step on

Without a moment's hesitation, my aunt replied, "One hour

Dopey Oklahoman tries to kill store worker, that she
believes is Casey Anthony

CHOUTEAU, Oklahoma -- An Oklahoma woman believes outrage over 
the Florida murder case almost cost her her life. The 26-year-old says a 
crazed woman tried to kill her because the woman thought she was 
Casey Anthony.

It happened in Chouteau last Friday night, July 8, 2011, just days 
after the Casey Anthony verdict, while Casey Anthony was 
still in jail.

"You look like Casey Anthony!" Shireen Nalley proclaimed.

Blackwell works at a convenience store in Chouteau and said 
Shireen Nalley came in that night around 10 p.m. and looked 
strange, very suspicious, then left after buying gas.

She got off work at 10:30 that night and walked out to her truck, 
which was parked on the other side of the building, and got 
inside. "Began to back out and looked and I could tell 
Shireen Nalley  was staring directly at me; I could almost see 
the whites of her eyes," she recalled.

"I proceeded to pull out of the parking lot, and she was right 
behind me," Sammay said.

Blackwell drove a few miles and says Nalley suddenly rammed 
her van into the back of Blackwell's truck.

"I said, 'Oh my God, help me,'" Blackwell told News On 6.
She then pulled into a parking lot to get away.

"She hit me again, causing my truck to flip two and a half 
times, landing on the driver's side, and I just laid there playing 
dead," she said.

Blackwell's mother says she'll never forget her daughter's 
reaction. "I got to her, she was crying, she was shaking, 
she says, 'Mama, this lady thinks I'm Casey Anthony and 
she tried to kill me," her mother said.

Police chased Shireen Nalley  for a while and finally arrested 
her for assault and battery with a deadly weapon. Shireen 
Nalley  told police she was "trying to save the children."

"She said that I was trying to hurt babies, I was killing babies 
and she was going to stop it before it happened again," 
Blackwell recalled. "She could have taken me away from 
my family, my daughter."

Blackwell's daughter is also named Caylee -- the only thing 
Sammay said she has in common with Casey Anthony.



"I don't look like her, so what about people who actually 
do look like her and live closer to Florida, instead of 
Oklahoma, what's going to happen to those people?" she said.

Shireen Nalley is now in the Mayes County Jail on complaints 
of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, leaving the scene 
of a vehicle collision, resisting arrest and reckless driving. 
She is being held on a $25,000 bond.

Police say Nalley seemed to be on drugs when they arrested her,
however, there is no DUI listed.

Sammay Blackwell wants to get a restraining order against Nalley. 
Blackwell also says she's struggling with Nalley's car insurance 
right now and claims the company won't cover the damage if 
Nalley hit her on purpose.

Re: How to clean laptop screen?

Dear Webby
When I got my laptop, it came with some dry cleaning cloths 
and instructions to always use those special dry cleaning
cloths for the screen. I would never do that with my glasses 
or camera lenses, so I hesitate to try that on a screen. 
What do you sugest?
Gretta

Dear Gretta
I would toss those dry cleaning sheets into the garbage. 
They just dull and damage the screeen, and force you
to buy a new one sooner.

Just use regular Windex or equivalent, and a rag from
a well washed, old t-shirt or recently washed microfiber
cloth. Mist the screen with the Windex, gently wipe it clean.
Mist it again, turn the rag and wipe it clean again.
That's all there is to it. 

Just like with your glasses or camera lenses, NEVER wipe
it when there is dry and gritty dust on it. Windex will get 
between the grit and the screen and make it stick to the rag.

Have FUN!

The chief of staff of the Air Force decided that he would personally
intervene in a recruiting crisis affecting all of our armed services. 
So he directed that a nearby Air Force base be opened and that all
eligible young men and women be invited.  As he and his staff were
standing near a brand new F-15 Fighter, a pair of twin brothers who
looked like they had just stepped off a Marine Corps recruiting poster
walked up to them.

The chief of staff walked up to them, stuck out his hand and introduced
himself.  He looked at the first young man and asked, "Son, what skills
can you bring to the Air Force?"

The young man looks at him and says, "I'm a pilot!"

The general turns to his aide and says, "Sign him up -- all the paper
work done, everything, do it today!" The aide hustles the young man off.

The general looks at the second young man and asked, "What skills can
you bring to the Air Force?"

The young man says, "I chop wood!"

"Son," the general replies, "we don't need woodchoppers in the Air
Force. What else do you know how to do?"

"I chop wood!"

"Young man," huffs the general, "you are not listening to me.  We don't
need woodchoppers; this is the 
21st century!"

"Well," the young man says, "you hired my brother!"

"Of course we did," says the general, "But he's a pilot!"

The young man rolls his eyes and says, 
"I HAVE to chop it before he can pile it!"

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Uses for Newspaper Plastic Bags
If you get a daily newspaper delivered to you in long, narrow 
plastic bags, you can recycle them in a number of ways. 
They are great for holding shoes when traveling, so that 
the clothing in your suitcase doesn't get dirty. Each bag 
can hold one shoe or a pair of smaller footwear, such as 
flip flops.

I also store several of these bags in a large used plastic 
cup with a lid (think recycled fast food soda cup that you 
have washed) and that sits in my car in the cup holder. 
They are great to use as small trash bags. I also store 
my kitty litter scoop in one, so that anything stuck to the 
scoop ends up in the bag and not in the bottom of my 
cabinet.

How to clean the toilet: 

1. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, 
and put both lids up. 

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards 
the bathroom. 

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close 
both lids. (You may need to stand on the lid.) The cat will self 
agitate and make ample suds. (Never mind the noises that come 
from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.)

4. Flush the toilet three or four times. (This provides a "
power-wash" and "rinse".) 

5. Have someone open the door to the outside (Be sure that there 
are no people between the toilet and the outside door.)

6. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both
lids. 

7. The now clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside
where he will dry himself off. The toilet will be sparkling clean!

Thanks to Bill for this story:
When I picked up Amy from school the other day, she was
walking with a friend.  I didn't catch their entire conversation,
but she was in the process of pointing out me to her friend
and explaining who I was.  

She said, "That's my dad.  He wants me to have things that
he never had as a boy.  Like, all 'A's' on a report card."
