Good Morning, ,
Today is Friday, May 15
Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!


Thank you, Alfred!

Walter, the Stonecarver, had some very good news.
He is using Windows 8.1 on a laptop, but instead of the
rather useless 8.1 desktop is using a classic XP desktop.
With that it works just like an XP machine, except directory
sort and searches are much slower than on the XP.

Other than that it's just like an XP, and you can
get work done just like on an XP. 
And Eudora works just fine on 8.1.

Thanks to Walter for this link:
The XP or W7 desktop shell and various skins are at

Have FUN!

Experience teaches slowly and at the cost of mistakes.
--- James A. Froude (1818 - 1894)
______________________________________________________

An insurance salesman was getting nowhere in his efforts to
sell a policy to a farmer. "Look at it this way." he said
finally. "How would your wife carry on if you should die?"

"Well..." drawled the weather-beaten man, "I don't reckon
that'd be any concern of mine -- long as she behaves herself
while I'm alive."

A young couple had a flat tire outside the fence of a mental
institution. The wife was leery of the inmates wandering
inside the compound, but there was a swift creek separating
them and her husband said it was OK. He took off the four
lug nuts and set them into the hubcap to keep them from
rolling away. Well, when he rolled the spare tire along the
car, he rolled it over the edge of the hubcap and the nuts
went flying into the creek.

He tried wrapping a coathanger around the lug bolts, but as
soon as he lowered the car, the wheel popped off to the
great amusement of the spectators behind the fence.

After a few more similarly hilarious attempts, finally an
inmate behind the fence told the young man to take one nut
from each of the other tires and put them on the spare. It
would be safe enough to get them to a service station a few
miles away.

"That's pretty smart for a guy in your place," the husband
said.

The inmate replied: "I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid."

Breastfeeding Floorida mom blames 
whiskey-soaked burgers for DUI

A Florida mother accused of driving drunk with four small 
kids in the car allegedly told police the alcohol on her 
breath came from the four whiskey-soaked hamburgers she 
had consumed.

Cateria Thomas, 33, was arrested early Tuesday morning in 
New Smyrna Beach, Florida, after Volusia County deputies 
noticed her car's tags were expired.

Deputies said they noticed three children were improperly 
restrained and Thomas was breastfeeding a two-month-old 
child, according to WESH.com.

Officers said Thomas' eyes were red, watery and glossy, 
and her speech was slurred. Three kids, ages 1, 3 and 4, 
were in the back seat and there was a full can of gas in 
the front passenger seat, ClickOrlando.com reports.

After a relative picked up the children, Thomas failed 
field sobriety tests. Police said she told them she’d 
had four “hamburgers with whiskey on them,” the Daytona 
Beach News-Journal reports. No open bottle in the car.

Thomas was charged with unlawful alteration of her car's 
tags, operating with a suspended license, DUI, a child 
act that could result in mental or physical injury, and 
resisting an officer without violence.

She remains in the Volusia County Jail on $13,505.

Dear Webby,
How do I remove TermBlazer AdWare from my PC?

Suryakant

Dear Suryakant

You probably saw me recommending Malwarebytes.
http://webby.com/malwarebytes

You will need that to get rid of TermBlazer.

TermBlazer is not a virus, but some crap, 
that you agreed to install, either because you 
got conned into believing it was useful, or as 
payment for something else, that you believed 
was useful. 

Malwarebytes will get rid of TermBlazer.
Unfortunately, when you had your gullibility attack,
you might have agreed to all kinds of other bad stuff too.
Keep a close eye out for any other nuisances, that
might still be in your computer, and tell me what they are.

Have FUN!
DearWebby

A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate. His orders
were clear. No car was to enter unless it had a special sticker
on the windshield. A big Army car came up with a general
seated in the back. The sentry said, "Halt, who goes there?"

The chauffeur, a corporal, says, "General Wheeler."
"I'm sorry, I can't let you through. You've got to have a 
sticker on the windshield."

The general said, "Drive on!"

The sentry said, "Hold it! You really can't come through. 
I have orders to shoot if you try driving in without a 
sticker."

The general repeated, "I'm telling you, son, drive on!"

The sentry walked up to the rear window and said,

"General, I'm new at this.
Do I shoot you or the the driver?"

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Heat Candlesticks to Remove Wax

To remove wax from a metal or glass candlestick my way:
Turn oven to 170 degrees C (about 325 degrees F)
Place item on tray lined with baking paper.
Leave for 5 minutes or until it looks like wax has melted.
Remove HOT item with a cloth. Be careful not to burn yourself!
Rub down with dry rag or paper towel and let cool.
This is much less messy than the hot water method and quicker.
