Dear Webby Humor Letter Blog

Good Morning,  !
Today is Friday, October 25.
Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!


On tonight's walk Copper got very exited when we walked 
past the hospital. The Oilfields Hospital is in the middle 
of about 40 acres of lawns and the occasional bunch of 
trees. It looks nice, but you never see any patients out
there. When I looked closer at what Copper was straining 
so mightily to go chase, there were about a dozen deer,
including 3 or 4 very young ones, that were just barely 
walking, not yet bouncing like they do after a month.

They were white-tail deer, but of the dark greyish brown 
type. They look just as good as the light brown type, but
don't show well on photos. Copper sure wanted to go chase 
them or play with them, and run after them for 20 miles.
Not today. He was quite disappointed, that I was not 
interested in a quick 20 miles there and 20 miles back run.

No snow forecast until Sunday, but frost every night.

Have FUN!

Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the 
least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good 
enough to recollect how often we have told it to the 
same person?
--- Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)


With no warning and clear out of the blue, a husband said
to his wife, "Honey, I have invited a friend home for supper
tonight."

His wife replied, "What? Are you crazy? The house is a mess,
I didn't have time to go shopping, all the dishes are dirty,
and I don't feel like cooking a fancy meal tonight!"

The husband said, "Yes, same as usual. I know all that."

"Then why in the world did you invite your friend for
supper tonight?" asked the wife.

The guy answered, "Because the poor fool is thinking about
getting married."

GROAN ALERT!
One day in the forest, three animals were discussing
who among them was the most powerful.

"I am," said the hawk, "because I can fly and swoop
down swiftly at my prey."

"That's nothing," said the mountain lion, "I am not only
fleet, but I have powerful teeth and claws."

"I am the most powerful," said the skunk, "because
with a flick of my tail, I can drive off the two of you."

Just then a huge grizzly bear lumbered out of the
forest and settled the debate by eating them all,
hawk, lion, and stinker.

Sasha Hunt, 22, Berne, Indiana

Jailed After Taping Infant's Mouth Shut 
With Duct Tape, Leaving Gagged Child 
In Closet To Die

Reported by The Weekly Vice
Sasha Hunt, a 22-year-old Indiana woman, was jailed Wednesday 
after she allegedly stuffed a sock into her infant son's 
mouth and left him alone in a closet to die.

According to police, Hunt placed a sock into her 3-month-old 
son's mouth, wrapped his head with duct tape to keep the sock 
in place and then wrapped the child's arms so he couldn't 
remove the tape from his mouth. She then wrapped the infant 
in a blanket, placed him face-down on a pillow and then 
locked him in a closet to die.

Investigators say Sasha Hunt's husband left the residence 
for about 15 minutes at about 12:45 a.m.. When the husband 
returned, he asked Sasha if she was ready for bed. 
She answered "yes."

The husband, Nathan Hunt, went downstairs to shut off the 
television when he heard a muffled cry coming from upstairs. 
Fearing that his baby son had rolled over onto his face, 
Nathan ran upstairs to check on the baby.

Sasha Hunt reportedly followed her husband into the child's 
room, begging him to stop. But when Nathan found that the 
baby's crib was empty, he began checking around the room 
until he found the gagged infant inside the closet.

After removing the tape and gag, Nathan Hunt gave his wife 
a choice. Either she could turn herself in and check into 
a mental health facility, or he would call police and turn 
her in.

Nathan Hunt told investigators that prior to the incident, 
Sasha had kicked holes in walls, attacked him physically 
and frequently handled their child in a rough manner. The 
child was also found with bruises recently, which Sasha 
blamed on the couple's 1-year-old daughter.

On another occasion, Sasha reportedly told her husband that 
she wished the baby had never been born and hoped that he 
would die.

Sasha Hunt was booked into jail and charged with attempted 
murder and neglect of a dependent.

Re: Why use a Spreadsheet for a web page

Dear Webby,
You have mentioned spreadsheets before, but I can't see how
or why they would be useful on a web page. 
Please enlighten me there!
Thanks
Anita

Dear Anita
Whenever you have a table, for example a schedule of events,
that has a column for dates, one for times, one for theme,
and one for cost, it is extremely easy to do that in a 
spreadsheet. And fast! 

I use that method even to generate huge templates for albums
like Dianne's Afghans and Cat Mats. Whenever you have anything,
that is repetitious, like the rows in a table, then you can
do it faster in a spreadsheet. 

You can even use formulas to fill fields with data from
another layer of the spreadsheet. Then you are really 
cooking!

Then save it as an HTML file, copy that and paste it into 
the destination file.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Steel Wool For Cleaning Coffee Pot
To clean inside of stainless steel coffee pot, take a hand 
held kitchen wand. Place a steel wool pad of your choice 
over the scrubbing pad attached to the wand. This can be 
held in place by wrapping rubber bands around it. Use this 
to scrub around the inside of the pot. Rinse very well 
before then cleaning your complete coffee system with 
white vinegar and water.

By Babwaray
If you can't getyour steel wool padded wand
into the thermos or pot, you can use my trick. Rinse it to
makeit good and wet, pour a spoon full of Comet into it 
and shake well to distribute it evenly and cover every spot.
Let it sit for a minute or two, then add a cup of water and 
shake again. Now you can use a regular skinny brush or foam
wand or bottle brush, scrub it a bit, and rinse. Even an old
and stubborn coffee patina will be gone, no matter whether
the inside is glass or steel.
Have FUN!

An African chieftain flew to the United States to visit 
the president. When he arrived at the airport, a host of 
newsmen and television cameramen met him. One of the 
reporters asked the chief if he had a comfortable flight.

The chief made a series of weird noises: "screech, 
scratch, honk, buzz, whistle, z-z-z-z-." and then added 
in perfect English, "Yes, I had a very nice flight."

Another reporter asked, "Chief, do you plan to visit the 
Washington Monument while you're in the area?"

The chief made the same noises:
"screech, scratch, honk, buzz, whistle, z-z-z-z."
and then said, "Yes, and I also plan to visit the 
White House and the Capitol Building."

"Where did you learn to speak such flawless English?" 
asked the next reporter.

The chief replied, "Screech, scratch, honk, buzz, whistle, 
z-z-z-z, from the short-wave radio."
