Good Morning, !
Today is Thursday, July 21
Remember 8 years ago, when the Hanoi Janes did everything
they could to mess things up for the troops, just to put
pressure on Bush? They even tried to divide and defeat the
"Wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!" effort,
by telling the sheeple to wear Democrat Blue on Fridays.
Looks like they are trying that again and forwarding the same
old emails all over.
The answer is still the same: NO
As long as the poppies in Flanders' Fields are red,
it will be a spot of RED we use to show our support and
respect for the troops, worldwide, no matter which government
sent them in harm's way. A spot of red on Friday shows respect
and support for all troops, fallen and surviving.
You can ask most vets, anywhere in the world,
for a RED poppy or a bit of red for Friday.
If you need something blue, the Hanoi Jane Urinal Screens
are still qute popular.
Have FUN!

Just think, if there was no such thing as marriage,
men would go through life thinking they had no
fault at all!

When my husband and I showed up at a very popular
restaurant,it was crowded. I went up to the hostess and
asked, "Will it be long?"
The hostess, ignoring me, kept writing in her book. I asked
again, "How much of a wait?"
The woman looked up and said, "About ten minutes."
A short time later, we heard an announcement over the loud-
speaker: "Willette B. Long, your table is ready."
Do you want to reverse your electrical meter and power bill?
You CAN! Legally! Not a sneaky gimmick, not turning things
off or down, just simple know-how.
The Power 4 Home system shows and explains every step.
If you are still paying for electricity, then this is for YOU!
Thanks to Deana for this one:
When I went with my stepdaughter to visit a prestigious
university, our student guide pointed out the nationally ranked
library and state-of-the-art science facilities. She told us that
the professors were the best in the world, and she
recommended my stepdaughter apply early to improve her
chances for admission. "We get so many applicants,"
she boasted, "because of the stature of the school."
After the tour I asked our guide, "So, why did you choose
this school?"
"Oh," she replied matter-of-factly, "my boyfriend used to go
here, and now he works at the McDonalds across the street.
I can get a free ride to this University, but wold have to take
the bus to the one on the other side of town."

Two drunks locked themselves inside police van
RADNOR, Pa. (UPI) -- Police in Pennsylvania said they arrested
two men who broke into a police van to take gag pictures and
accidentally locked themselves inside the vehicle.
Radnor police said Marlton, N.J., residents Ryan Letchford, 21,
and Jeffrey Olsen, 22, left a party early Saturday and entered
Constable Mike Connor's van, which had been in the parking
lot of the condominium where the party was located, the
Philadelphia Daily News reported Monday.
Investigators said Letchford and Olsen, who are believed to
have entered the van to take gag pictures of themselves
being arrested, got locked in. Police said a friend found
them in the van after they failed to return to the party and
called 911 because he was unable to free them.
Police contacted Connor, who said he must have left a door
unlocked because there was no sign of forced entry.
"I came down and unlocked the doors, and 'Dumb and Dumber'
pranced out of the van," Connor said. "They looked a little
embarrassed."
Connor said the men had been smoking cigarettes and spitting
while inside the vehicle. Cigarette butts and "a large amount
of saliva" were in the van, police said.
Letchford and Olsen were arrested and charged with attempted
theft of a motor vehicle, public drunkenness and criminal mischief.

Re: Restore the "Show Desktop" icon
Dear Webby
My mom had some misadventure with her computer and lost a
bunch of stuff and files. Most of them she has since restored,
although many files were not recovered (no backup!).
Somehow she had also deleted her quick launch bar.
I restored that the other day, but the button for "Show Desktop"
is not there. How do I get that back for her?
She has Windows 7.
Thanks,
Laura
Dear Laura
The easiest way to show the desktop is to hit the
Windows key and D
The alternative is a very cumbersome rigamarole that you can
find if you click on the desktop, hit F1 and search for
"How to Re-create the Show Desktop Icon on Quick Launch
Toolbar"
Much easier to just take a fine line indelible felt pen and write
+ D
onto the Windows key to remind her how to show the desktop.
Have FUN!

Wayne, a friend of mine, owns an auto-repair business. One
day a woman called to inquire when he could work on her car.
"I'm not busy now," he replied. "bring it right in."
A short time later, the woman pulled into the service bay,
stopping her small car perfectly over the wide, deep grease
pit.
"Wow!" Remarked Wayne. "That's great driving. Your wheels
only have a couple of inches to spare on each side of the
pit."
She looked blankly at him and asked, "What pit?"
Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Use Straws for Flower Arrangements
Short-stemmed flowers or curvy stems are hard to put in a
floral arrangement. What I do is cut the stem under cold
water and at an angle with sharp scissors. Next, put the
stem into a plastic drinking straw and put into your own
custom arrangement. VOILA! I save straws. Silly, I know,
but I use the skinny ones for thin stemmed flowers and the
thicker straws for fatter stemmed flowers and it works.

The hostess (with a daughter of marriageable age)
sent out an invitation to an officer (who was supposed
to be the prospective suitor of her daughter's hand).
"Mr. and Mrs. Dabney request the pleasure of
Captain Black's company at dinner on the 26th of July."
She was somewhat dismayed to receive this
enthusiastic reply:
"With the exception of four men on leave, and
two sick, Captain Black's company accept with much
pleasure your invitation to dinner on the 26th
of July. There are 64 of us, that will show up. "
