3 year-old Kelli went with her neighbor girl to church for First
Communion practice. The pastor has the children cup their
hands, and when he gives them the Host, -in this practise
case, a piece of bread- he says: "God be with you."

Apparently this made quite an impression on Kelli. She
came home and told her mother to cup her hands and bend
down. Kelli took a piece of bread from her sandwich, placed
it in her mother's hands, and whispered, in her most angelic
voice: "God will get you."

Utah Man robbed credit union for 
girlfriend’s bail money

 Bailing a girlfriend out of jail motivated a man to rob 
a credit union, police said.

Robert Phillip Rivas, 26, and Armando Jesse Ambriz, 28, 
robbed the Utah Community Credit Union at 105 E. State 
on May 4, according to the Pleasant Grove Police 
Department.

“We later received information from one of Robert Rivas’ 
family members indicating that they were aware of a plot 
he had to rob a bank to obtain money to bail his 
girlfriend out of jail,” said Lt. Britt Smith. “
(With) search warrants we were able to find some receipts 
for bail bondsmen that indicated he had in fact bailed 
his girlfriend out of jail hours after the robbery 
here in Pleasant Grove.”

The case was also unusual because police were able to 
arrest Ambriz before they even received a physical 
description of the robbers, according to Smith.

“The bank they robbed was just a couple of blocks away 
from the police department and he was walking toward the 
police department wearing an obvious disguise, so officers 
responding from the police department to the bank passed 
by him first,” he said. “Obviously he stood out like a sore 
thumb wearing a wig, fake beard and fake eyebrows.”

Both Ambriz and Rivas were booked into the Utah County Jail 
on suspicion of felony robbery and obstruction of justice. 
Rivas' girlfriend was released on bail, according to Smith.

“I don’t know what her plans are now that (Rivas) is looking 
at some prison time,” Smith said.

Re: Pictures are too big for email
	
Dear Webby,
The pictures from my new camera are way too big for email.
I had the camera set to record pictures at 480 by something, 
but everybody was screaming at me about too small and fuzzy 
pictures. Now I got them large and fine, and they say they
can't receive them!
What do I do now?
Mary

Dear Mary 
Continue  taking pictures in large and fine format.
That allows you to crop them, cut them down to just the
important parts.
It also allows you to reduce them in size to what the
recipients can handle.

Just about everybody can handle 800 x 600, and still
enjoy a sharp, fine-grained picture.

To crop a picture or to reduce it in size you need some
sort of graphcs program. Don't worry, you don't have to
shell out big bucks for Photoship or spend a month 
learning GIMP. There are lots of free graphics programs
available. Try a few of them until you come across one,
that suits your style.

For the pictures in the humor Letter I use about 600 wide
for the "Thumbnail", and 1024 for the large picture.
If a picture is tall and narro, then of course I have to
change that and just make them 1100 tall.

That seems to suit the majority.

Have FUN!

it worked great! One more healthy change and very little 
effort involved. It's even less expensive than the old kind.

You don't have to do this, but I find cooking more 
enjoyable when the items I use are dressed up a bit.:)
By melissa [122]

I have used an Amway pistol grip sprayer originally intended
for their LOC cleaner since the mid 80's for that. I just fill
it with olive oil, and when needed, I lightly mist a pan 
or pot or baking sheet with it. Works fine, and the olive
oil lubricates it nicely. It still works as well as on 
day one.
Have FUN!

One day little Johnny was in his back yard digging a hole.
His neighbor, seeing him there, decided to investigate.
"Whatcha doin?" he asked.
"My budgie bird died and I'm burying him," Johnny replied.
"That's an awful big hole for a little bird, ain't it?" asked
the neighbor.
"That's because he's inside your stupid cat!"

Linda was with her mother while her older sister was being

toys in the waiting room until she noticed that her mom was
resting, her eyes closed.
With about six other patients waiting, Linda marched up to
her mother, looked her straight in the face and shook her
shoulder.
"Mommy," she yelled, "wake up! This is not church!"
