Good Morning,  !

Today is Thursday, March 14

Thank you, William!


Feds buy 100 years worth of ammo for Homeland Security!
Next, they are going to buy guns, that require different
ammo. 

Nothing to worry about. Nobody is going to shoot at you.
It's just routine commission based kick-backs, 
pork-barreling and job creation. 
That's how Government works.

Rumors have it, that they are going to sell the obsolete 
guns to Mexico, in order to put the gun shops in Arizona
and Texas out of business, and they are apparently planning
to sell all the no longer matching ammo to some Arabic 
speaking guy, so that the local gun nuts can't buy it at 
Army Surplus and have fun at the gravel pit.

Nothing personal, that's just how the Government works.

Have FUN!

A mother asked her small son what he would like for his 
birthday. 
"I'd like a little brother," a boy said. 

"Oh my, that's such a big wish," said the mother. Why do you 
want a little brother"? 

"Well," said the boy, "there's only so much I can blame 
on my dog." 





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!





Two guys had businesses on the same street. 
One had customers coming and going and the other, well, 
maybe two or three a day. 

Finally, Morris, whose business was doing badly, 
decided to visit Shapiro, who was doing very well. 
Going in the door, he saw a large banner over the 
entrance which read : "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE." 

Morris wanted to know why Shapiro was going out of 
business, since he seemed to be doing so well. 

Shapiro confided, "That sign has been in my window 
for almost nineteen years. If I took it down, 
I would go out of business."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to

Fired for shark wrestling 
while on paid sick leave

Reported by Sun Metro


Holidaying for two months in Australia, while on paid
sick leave, did not go over well.

It was not reported whether the very young shark was
trying to play with the kids or had inadvertently gotten
washed up too high on the shore and was lost.

Re: Directory listing to editable file

Dear Webby
I forgot how to get to DOS, so that I can send an
editable directory listing to a file. I know you told
us a few times, but now I got Windoze7 and that is more
blonde than my pretty wife.
Thanks
Ed

Dear Ed
You can send your wife over here.

To open DOS, use the File Explorer
Right-Click START
Windos File Explorer

browse to the folder, that you are interested in.
Hold CTRL SHIFT and RIGHT-click
Select: Open Command Window Here

Yes, I know it is a silly rigamarole, but Microsoft
figures that is good for you.

Once you have the DOS Window open, type
dir /?
That will show you all the different options for the DIR
command.

Most likely you will want the Bare format, sorted by
extensions.
That would be
dir /b /o:e

Or with all the info, sorted by size:
dir /o:s

You will be amazed at the speed!
OK, now to send that to a file named somedir.txt
in the root directory:

dir /o:s > c:\somedir.txt

Naturally, you can send it to any file of your choosing.

It will seem that nothing happened when you hit Enter with
that on the command line. That is because DOS is so fast.
Don't worry, the listing will be in that file!

Then open Quattro or Calc or Excel and open that file.
It will ask you if you want it sorted into columns, 
etc. Yes, yes, yes. 
Once it has imported it, it will still be sorted
like you had specified, but neatly shuffled into
columns.

Now you can delete entrie columns and format it all
quite neatly for printing.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Memory Foam Bath Mats 
for Leather Car Seats 
I found our leather seats so cold during the winter, 
and when I wore shorts or a dress in the summer, 
I stuck to the seat. Ouch! You can buy seat covers, 
but they are quite a pain to put on and take off. 
I came up with an inexpensive, very comfy solution, 
memory foam bath mats. You can get them at most 
department or bath stores in various colours and 
sizes, but I got this one at Walmart.

A customer was so infatuated with his waitress he decided to ask her for a date, but couldn't get her attention. When he was able to catch her eye, she quickly looked away. Finally he followed her into the kitchen and confronted her. 

With a total lack of finesse, he blurted out his invitation. To his amazement, she readily consented. 

He said, "Why have you been avoiding me since you served me? You wouldn't even make eye contact." 

"Oh," replied the waitress, "I thought you wanted more coffee."

Driving to a new restaurant, a woman took several wrong turns. When she finally found the right road, she asked her husband, "Why didn't you tell me I was lost?" 

"I thought you knew where you were going," he replied. "You always know where we're going when I'm driving."
