Good Morning, !
Today is Tuesday, April 16.
It is snowing again.
We usually have half a day of "Crazy April Weather"
type snow, but this many days of snowing is not
normal. Al Gore's fear mongering and BS must have
upset Mother Nature, or else he just invented the
whole BS at the wrong time, at the end of the
warming ripple.
Bad timing, just like Carl Sagan and his fear mongering
about a coming ice age, right at the end of the
cooling ripple.
Have FUN!

Invention is the mother of necessity.

A minister, a priest and a rabbi were enjoying the serenity of
a country dipping pond.
Since it was fairly secluded, they took off all their clothes and
jumped in the water. Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a
few berries while enjoying their "freedom."
As they were crossing an open area, a group of very old ladies from
town approached them. Unable to get to their clothes in time, the
minister and the priest covered their privates and the rabbi covered
his face while they ran for cover.
After the ladies left and the men got their clothes back on,
the minister and the priest asked the rabbi why he covered
his face rather than his privates.
The rabbi replied...
"I don't know about you, but in MY congregation,
it's my FACE that they would recognize....."
Here is an old favorite:
There are two nuns. One of them is known as Sister
Mathematical (SM) and the other one is known as Sister
Logical (SL). It is getting dark and they are still
far away from the convent.
SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following
us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I
wonder what he wants.
SL: It's logical. He wants to rape us.
SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15
minutes at the most. What can we possibly do?
SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to
walk faster.
SM: It's not working.
SL: Of course it's not working. The man did the
only logical thing. He started to walk faster too.
SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach
us in one minute.
SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You
go that way and I'll go this way. He cannot follow us
both.
The man decided to follow Sister Logical. Sister
Mathematical arrives at the convent and is worried
what has happened to Sister Logical.
Then Sister Logical arrives.
SM: Sister Logical! Thank God you are here! Tell
me what happened!
SL: The only logical thing happened. The man
couldn't follow us both, so he followed me.
SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?
SL:The only logical thing happened. I started to
run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast
as he could.
SM: And?
SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me.
SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?
SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress
up.
SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?
SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down
his pants.
SM: Oh, no! What happened then?
SL: Isn't it logical,Sister? A nun with her dress
up can run a lot faster than a man with his pants
down.
(And those of you who thought it would be dirty, say
two Hail Mary's.....)

RE: Backing up Gmail
Dear Webby,
Hope all is well with you, and that you are getting along
well with your eyes.
My question..since yahoo mail has erased everyones email
and you cannot get them to retreive it. I was wondering
is there any way to save, export or anything else from
my gmail? I know I'm paranoid, but never know when these
sites will change.
I don't have anything that would be the end of the world,
but would hate to loose what I have in folders.
Any info you could give me would be appreciated.
Keep up the great newsletter, don't go a day without
reading it.
Thank you,
Kay
Dear Kay
Most people do the opposite,
they use Gmail as their back-up, since
you can store 7 GIGAbytes of stuff there,
and since they have a better record of keeping
your data safe than any other method.
However, if you want to back up your Gmail, there
are a few methods.
The most popular one, of course, is to set your
GMAIL to POP, and pull it down with any full-feaured
email program like Eudora, Pegasus, Thunderbird,
etc., or even Outluck or Windows Live.
You can keep the mail on Gmail, basically just
download a copy. For example, the geniusses, who
wrote Eudora, included the checkbox for
"Leave Mail On Server" in 1993.
Put a checkmark into that box, and Gmail acts as
your Iron Mountain archive. Even if you lose your
computer, everything is still safe up in the cloud.
Most other email programs copied that feature.
If you want to have a copy of your mail on a smart-phone
or iPad, just sync.
If you want to download your contacts into Windows,
click on the tiny Down arrow beside "Gmail".
It is very inconspicuous, about two inches from the top
in the left side, cleverly hidden right in front of your nose.
Pull that down and select Contacts
In there, again cleverly hidden in front of your nose is
"MORE",in the middle, a bit less than two inches from the top.
Very inconspicuously.
Pull that down and select EXPORT
In there you can select which contacts to export,
and in which format.
It is all there, but since almost nobody ever does it,
there is no simple shortcut to it.
There are fancy programs, that go find that Export
button for you, and then let you do the same, as if
you had succeeded in finding it on your own.
Now, if you want to export the mail texts to your computer,
there is Gmail Backup at http://www.gmail-backup.com/,
I have never used it, since I have set my Gmail to
forward to my Webby mail, which I manage with Eudora.
In my case, Gmail is just an archive of what winds up
in my computer automatically.
There are no complaints about Gmail Backup, and like
the DearWebby Humor letter, there is no PAY NOW
button, just a Please Donate.
If you do want to copy your old Gmails to your coomputer,
that would be the program to use.
Weed out your Gmail first. Search for any words or
phrases used by spammers, and dump those mails.
The same with mails from nuisances like
ex-mother-in-laws or ex-boyfriends. Any mails, that
you won't ever look up again, dump them.
The reason for that is that the first back-up to your
computer will be VERY slow and take a long time.
Subsequent back-ups just add the new stuff,
and will be much faster.
Personally, I would recommend that you set
your Gmail to forward to your ISP based email,
as long as that is not Yahoo or Sbcglobal or MSN,
set your Gmail to not delete mail after forwarding,
and set your earth based email program to leave
mail on the server.
Then you can use whatever full featured email program
that strikes your fancy.
The most popular ones are Eudora, Pegasus, Thunderbird,
Outlook, Windows Live, Outluck Depressed.
Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Duct Tape To Label Food Storage Containers
I found myself wasting too much time, tape and energy
placing labels on my frozen and fridge food containers.
I bought WHITE duct tape and use a Sharpie to write
contents on "labels" made from the tape. The ink comes
off easily with soapy water for re-use, the tape remains
securely on the lid "forever". I keep small precut
"labels' stuck inconspicuously behind my cabinet door
and can pull one off for immediate use on new lids.
For fridge items, I can read the label tops without
moving items around when searching for the mayo.
