I have five siblings, three sisters and two brothers. 
One night I was chatting with my Mom about how she had 
changed as a mother from the first child to the last. 

She told me she had mellowed a lot over the years: 
"When your oldest sister coughed or sneezed, I called 
the ambulance. 

When your youngest brother swallowed a dime, I just told 
him it was coming out of his allowance."

Gas can in child seat, toddler lose

A Facebook photo recently posted to the Colorado Department 
of Transportation's Facebook page shows a toddler and gas 
can sharing a vehicle's back seat. The gas can is securely 
strapped into a child's safety seat. The toddler, seated opposite 
the gas can, looks free to roam about the cabin.



The female driver, the mother of the child, was cited for no 
proof of insurance and three counts of seat belt violations

Re: How does a pre-written mail work?

Dear Webby, 
I think you went a mile or two above my head with that
pre-written email stuff. How does that work?
Rolly

Dear Rolly
Windows has your default email program set in the Registry.
Now you can call it from the DOS command line or with a shortcut.
The standard call for doing that has always, even before Windows,
been:
mailto:name@domain.com
It used to be just UNIX and Linux, but now it works the same
on Windows. 
By adding a question mark, you can add parameters, just 
like you do with web pages.
If you add
?subject=Email Shortcut Test
so that it will be
mailto:name@domain.com?subject=Email Shortcut Test

and hit the shortcut icon, it will open a new email,
address it to name@domain.com
and fill in the subject line with Email Shortcut Test

If you add to that command 
&CC=me@here.com
then it will fill that into the CC line.
The BCC works the same.
And so does the BODY.

That trick works great, when you have to send a lot of similar
emails to certain people, and have to just add a word or not even that.
An example would be telling somebody, that their kids are
waiting at the bus stop. The whole email can in that case be
pre-written. You simply hit that icon, then hit SEND.
Done.
Even faster, if you use a hot-key for that, and you already got
one for SEND. 

Have FUN!

Two tourists are driving through the countryside in Wales.

At the quaint town of Llanhyfryddawelllehynafolybaarcudprindanf-
ygythiadtrienusyrhafnauole, they stop for lunch and one tourist
asks the waitress, "Before we order, could you please settle an
argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are very
slowly?"

The waitress leans over and says, "Burrr-gurrr-Keeennng."


Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com

Make A Draining And Drying Frame

I needed a way to drain green beans and butter beans after 
picking and washing them. My husband made a frame and 
covered it with Hardware Cloth. After washing the beans, I 
pour them on the wire and spread them out to drain. I have 
found that the frame has other uses too. This morning, I 
washed pillows and the frame is perfect for drying them in 
the hot sun. The top side has no edging which makes it easy 
to rake the beans off into a bucket after they are dry.

By hate litter from NC

In case you don't know what "hardware cloth" is, it is old-
fashioned metallic mosquito netting.

Nowadays you can get it in plastic as well. It is just as
strong but better suited for food items. 

You can get it pre-framed to fit screen doors and standard
size windows. A small screen to just fit over a double sink
is usually under $5. 

Have FUN!

A man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop owner points to
three identical looking parrots on a perch and says: "The parrot on the
left costs 500 dollars".

"Why, does the parrot cost so much?" asks the man. The owner says,
"Well the parrot knows how to use a computer".

The man then asks about the next parrot and is told that this one costs
1,000 dollars because it can do everything the first parrot can do plus
it knows how to use the UNIX and Linux operating systems.

Naturally, the increasingly startled man asks about the third parrot
and is told that it costs 2,000 dollars. Needless to say this begs the
question, "What can it do?"

To which the owner replies, "To be honest I have never seen it do a
thing but the other two call him boss!"

A high school science class was asked the question, 
"When water becomes ice, 
which of its physical properties increases?"

Everyone answered, "Its volume increases."

Except for one wise guy who was obviously thinking 
outside the box, and no doubt in reality, closer to the truth,  
"When water becomes ice,
its price increases."
