Good Morning,  !

Today is Tuesday, March 12

>From Dr Bill
BTW  - the best pancakes you ever ate are make with Krusteaz 
(don't have to add eggs etc) and beer - instead of water or 
milk - and using different beers, dark, light, ales, 
Guiness etc,  and/or wheat flour makes some amazing 
varieties - all light, fluffy, yummy, etc - typically, 
my guests on Shrove Tuesday eat three helpings or more - 
they are fabulous - yes, both the pancakes and the guests.

A man observed a sign in the window of a restaurant that 
read "Unique Breakfast", so he walked in and sat down.

The waitress brought him his coffee and asked him what 
he wanted.

"What´s your Unique Breakfast?" he asked inquisitively.

"Baked tongue of chicken," she replied proudly.

"Baked tongue of chicken? Do you have ANY idea how 
disgusting that is? I would never even consider eating 
anything that came out of a chicken´s mouth!" the man 
fumed.

Undaunted, the waitress asked, "Well, what would you 
like then, sir?"

The man replied, "Just bring me some scrambled eggs."

"Right, sir."





Have I got a deal for you!
Aquaponics is on special for $19 instead of the normal $97!

What's Aquaponics? Isn't that the top secret technology
some pros use to grow medicinal herbs and stuff in half the
time and two to ten times the crop per square foot?
Yes, it sure is!

It is the technology of combining a fish tank, that produces
all the nutrients the plants need, with hydroponics, that 
cleans that stuff out of the water and preps it for the fish.
Very neat and clean WIN-WIN deal!

You don't need a shark tank on your balcony. The book
tells you how small a fish tank is enough for your tomatoes
and carrots and parsley and mushrooms and herbs.

If you have a closet, balcony, or garden space, grab
Aquaponics, while it is on sale!
AND, they throw in $300 worth of additional books!

By the way, there is no weeding necessary with Aquaponics!





A linguistics professor was lecturing his class.
"In English," he explained, "a double negative forms a 
positive.  In some languages, such as Russian, a double 
negative is still a negative."

"However," the professor continued, "there is no language 
wherein a double positive can form a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up.  "Yeah, right."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Leticia Silva, a 31

Jailed for Sending Children Switchblade Knife, 
Instructing Them To Murder Grandparents With It

Reported by the Weekly Vice
Leticia Silva, a 31-year-old Florida woman, has been 
charged after she allegedly mailed her young children a 
knife, then instructed them to kill their grandparents 
with it.

According to the Pitt County Sheriff's Office, Silva lost 
custody of her two daughters (ages 7 and 9) seven years 
ago when she was arrested in Florida for possession of 
methamphetamine.

The two children were removed from Silva's care and sent 
to live with their paternal grandparents in Greenville, 
North Carolina. Both children remain in the care and 
custody of their grandparents.

Investigators say Silva plotted to have the grandparents 
(her former in-laws) murdered while she was incarcerated 
in a Florida prison.

In December, Silva mailed a switchblade pocket knife to 
her daughters with a written note instructing them to 
murder their grandparents with it. Silva then called her 
daughters around Christmas time and instructed them to 
grab a steak knife from the kitchen and use it for the 
murder instead.

The murder plot began to unravel in February when the 
childrens' grandmother found the knife under a pillow 
while changing the girls' bed sheets. That's when the 
grandmother brought the two girls to the Pitt County 
Sheriff's Office, and the girls explained what they 
had been instructed to do with the knives.

Silva, who was temporarily out of jail and had traveled 
to North Carolina, turned herself in at the Pitt County 
Detention Center on Monday. She has been charged with four 
counts of first-degree solicitation to commit murder. 
She remains in jail in lieu of a $5 million bond.

Re: Mouse causes re-start

Dear Webby,
I have been having a problem with my computer and mouse for
a couple of months now and have not heard of this problem 
from anyone before.
 
Sometimes when I go to drag a window to a different spot
or resize it, the cursor, it's like it's frozen on
the screen.  So I move the mouse several times to try and 
move it, however, it never moves and my computer re-starts.  
This might happen several times a day.  
Very annoying.......especially if I'm in the middle of 
something and have not saved it yet.
I ran CrapCleaner.....that didn't fix the problem.
I replaced the mouse.....that didn't fix the problem.
I'm really at a loss here not knowing where to look next. 
I am using Windoze 7. This has never happened on XP.
Any suggestions?
Susan

Dear Susan
That is actually quite common with W7, especially if 
you have a bargain machine with only 2 GB of RAM.
You can go do the dishes and see if it recovers 
in the meantime. Sometimes it does.

If it doesn't recover, hit CTRL SHIFT ESC to start 
the Task Manager. It might take a while to start up.
Windows 7 is good for teaching you patience and humility.
Saint Bill figures that is good for you.

When the Task Manager finally opens, tab over to "Processes".
Sort it by MEM, biggest on top.
Chances are good, that the top item is your browser.
Highlight it and hit CTRL E to "END PROCESS".

Usually that will free enough memory, that you can return
to your work and save it.

Yes, you CAN do all that without the mouse!
It would be a good idea to practise that, so that when
you are in a big panic, you can do it as slick as any
Eggspurt.

While you probably CAN limp along like that, it would 
be a good idea to hint, that some extra RAM would be an
appropriate Easter basket item, or at the very latest, 
something for Mothers Day.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Treating Chapped Lips
If your lips are peeling and chapped, they are annoying 
and unattractive. Apply a little vasoline to your lips 
and use a nail file to gently remove any dead skin. 
Your lips will feel refreshed and look healthy again. 
Lip gloss can build up on your lips and prevents normal 
shedding of dead skin cells.

By mary jean from Morristown, NJ 

You can use some of the hand sanitizer, that is available
free at a lot of store entrances, on a paper towel, to
remove old gloss or "remedies", then smear some Vaseline
onto the back of your hand and kiss it. That gives you
just the right amount. You need just a little bit to retain
a little bit more moisture. 

If your lips get a barely noticeable erratic tingle or 
tightening feeling, that is usually an early warning signal, 
that you are about to notice in a day or two, 
that you have the flu. 

If you catch it early enough, you can get rid of it by drinking
Silver Water, or by putting 5 drops of Hydrogen Peroxide into
each ear for 5 minutes, repeated after 4 hours. If you do
that, then you don't get even the half flu, that you get 
from the flu shots.

During flu season, make sure your lips are not cracked and 
well protected, wipe them only with sanitizer or windshield 
washer moistened paper towel, and kiss your vaseline smeared 
hand right afterward, and NEVER rub or touch your eyes unless
you have first sanitized your hands. 

Then you too can avoid the flu for dozens of years, 
like I have.
Have FUN!

On my very first call, I introduced myself, 
"Hello, this is a telephone poll."

Two women came before wise King Solomon, dragging 
between them a young man.  
"This young man agreed to marry my daughter," said one.
"No! He agreed to marry MY daughter," said the other.
And so they haggled before the King, until he called
for silence.

"Bring me my biggest sword," said Solomon, " and I shall
hew the young man in half. Each of you shall receive a
half."  
"Sounds good to me,"said the first lady. 
But the other woman said, "Oh Sire, do not spill innocent
blood. Let the other woman's daughter marry him."  

The wise king did not hesitate a moment. "The young man
must marry the first lady's daughter," he proclaimed.

"But she was willing to hew him in two!" exclaimed the
king's court.  "Indeed," said wise King Solomon. 
"That shows she is the TRUE mother-in-law."
