Frozen HP Touchpad

Good Morning,  !
Today is Sunday, August 4.

Thanks to all who wrote to tell me, that Tupperware is still
around.

Tupperware is overpriced, 
but considering the food and the 5:1 female:male ratio at 
traditional Tupperware parties, quite justified. If I got 
an invitation to a Tupperware party, I would  free up some 
time for it, and I would break a piggy bank and cash the 
coins to have plenty of money to buy stuff.

However, I won't buy it on the net and take money out of 
the mouths of some good Tupperware seller's kids.

I buy other stuff on the net, but  with Tupperware prices 
I insist on the traditional party.


The raspberries are sure tasting great and it is difficult
to put three into the basket for every one I eat on the spot.
With the Saskatoons that is a lot  easier. This fall I am 
going to trim the Saskatoon bushes down to six feet. Ten or
more  feet are ridiculous! Sure, the branches are flexible 
and can be pulled down, but that is unnecessary work. They
will just spread more to the sides. 

Have FUN!

Our family owned restaurant is the setting for many of our   
discussions about how to handle the customer who asks,   
"What's good tonight?"   

Obviously, we would never serve anything we didn't think was   
good.  I braced myself one Saturday night when I heard the   
dreaded question posed to my husband.   

He calmly replied, "Anything over $13.95."

One morning I was called to pick up my son at the school   
nurse's office. When I walked through the main entrance, I   
noticed a woman, curlers in her hair, wearing pajamas.   

"Why are you dressed like that?" I asked her.   

"I told my son," she explained, "that if he ever did anything   
to embarrass me, I would embarrass him back. He was caught   
cutting school. So now I've come to spend the day with him!"

Joseph Lee Toben, 86, Virginia Beach, VA

Jailed After Waving Sex Toy 
At Customers In Grocery Store 
Parking Lot

Reported by The Weekly Vice
Joseph Lee Toben, an 86-year-old Virginia man, has been 
jailed after he was allegedly seen in a grocery store 
parking lot attempting to solicit sex with a sex toy.

According to police, Toben was in a Farm Fresh parking 
located on Independence Blvd., when he drew the 
attention of two men.

Investigators say the men saw Toben inside his vehicle 
attempting to solicit sexual contact with several customers 
while waving a sex toy about.

When officers arrived on the scene, Toben was still at the 
location harassing customers.

Toben was booked into jail and charged with obscene sexual 
display. He was released on bond a few hours later.

Re: HP Touchpad

Dear Webby,
Have read you site for probably close to 15 years. 
I now have a problem and no one to ask. Got this item for 
Xmas about a year and a half ago. I got on the www site 
and looked for phone numbers to call and then spent the 
afternoon doing just that. Called all of the numbers and 
was passed on to another person who spoke so fast and not 
very clear. At the end was told to go do what I had already 
done and also to call a certain number that had been 
disconnected. What a waste of time. Small town, no repair 
people, and I am at a lose as to trash it and buy something 
else. Is a HP 10 inch and nice when working but maybe I am 
out of my league. Have had a WebTV for so long and has 
such a good e-mail program and they are going out of 
business at the end of Sept. Need to get something and 
get info transferred.

Any help would be appreciated. 
A senior citizen, Sally

Dear Sally
Don't expect support from HP. From what I heard, they are 
busy giving the Taliban a bad name.

I don't know anybody who accepts HP Touchpads for repair,
because apparently that would cost more than to buy one 
off eBay. That just leads to arguments and unhappy customers.

Consider buying one off eBay, or else buying a Google 
Chrome Book like the Acer C7 for $199
http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/de ... html#ac-c7

It has everything you might need, actually a lot more than 
your HP touchpad had. It has a real keyboard AND a touchpad, 
and sockets to connect mouse, big speakers, big HiDef TV 
screen, etc.
Plus, with Acer you get  real support.

It has
* Browsing
* Email
* Hard Drive for storage
* Cloud Storage for back-up
* Instant connectivity, even on airplanes
* Google Hangout for playing intercontinental poker or hearts 
  or whatever,  even with the players on different continents
* Camera built in for video conferencing (Like I do every day 
  with my dad in Austria)

All of that is installed and  working, the moment you unpack 
 it and turn it on.
You can, of course download and install all kinds of programs, 
but I have a hunch, the installed stuff will be plenty for 
you. It might be years before you add more programs.

A Chrome Book is not a powerful starwars machine for juveniles 
to brag about on the school bus, but it has what you want, 
ready to run.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Tote Bags on Decorative Hooks
I have two pretty, sturdy tote bags hanging on decorative 
hooks on my bedroom wall. You'd be surprised how much they 
hold. I have wallets, extra pairs of glasses, etc. Things 
that I don't want to get rid of, but don't want taking up 
room elsewhere. I found one of the pretty totes at a thrift 
store for $2.70 after my senior discount.

"Mr. Clark, I'm afraid I have some bad news
for you," the doctor told his anxious patient,
"You only have six months to live."

The man sat in stunned silence for the next
several minutes.

Regaining his composure, he apologetically
told his physician that he had no medical
insurance -- "I can't possibly pay you in that time."

"OK," said the doctor, "Let's make it a year."

Thanks to Phil from Oz for this story:

One day some soldiers from a nearby Army camp saw a boy
leading a donkey. They thought they would have some fun
with him.
"Say, boy," called out one of the soldiers. "You sure are
keeping a tight rein on your brother, aren't you?"
"Sure am," said the boy. "If I didn't he would probably
join the Army."
