Hi Webby,
 
The answer you gave the lady about getting that message 
not to get her computer fixed....It is a scam.  On our local 
news just last night they gave a report that a man called 
them about that very same thing. The man fell for it gave 
his credit card....................
You got it, they used his card and charged a large 
amount on it.
Cora

Dear Cora
I got similar reports too, that TurboYourPC fakes problems 
with your computer, then wants money to fix the fake problems,
and even if you uninstall, you will find that it changed 
stuff like browser search engine preferences from Google 
to Yahoo, Windows Phone settings all messed up,
and so on.

It is best to save your money and just do the common sense
procedures, that I recommended.

Have FUN!
DearWebby

A college senior took his new girlfriend to a football
game. The young couple found seats in the crowded
stadium and were watching the action. A substitute was
put into the game, and as he was running onto the field
to take his position, the boy said to his girlfriend,
"Take a good look at that fellow. I expect him to be
our best man next year."

His girlfriend snuggled closer to him and said,
"That's the strangest way I ever heard of for a fellow
to propose to a girl. Regardless of how you said it, I
accept!"

Delighted by the gift she had received, the lady spoke
warmly to the boy, "At church tomorrow, I'll thank your
mother for this lovely pie."

"If you don't mind, Ma'am," the boy suggested
nervously, "would you please thank her for two pies?"

A flying saucer was low on fuel, so it landed near a
local  gas station.  On its side were the letters
"UFO."

The gas station attendant was stunned, but his
curiosity  got the best of him.
"Does that stand for Unidentified Flying Object?", he asked.

"No," one of the other-worldly travelers responds.
"It stands for 'Unleaded Fuel Only.' "

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by


Kristofer Pregent

St. Albans,
Vermont


Chocolate Factory Worker Arrested for 
Making Bomb Threat So He will Be Fired

Police say a Vermont chocolate factory worker hated his 
job and wanted to get fired, so he did the first thing 
that came to mind: He called in a bomb threat.

Police say 22-year-old Kristofer Pregent stole a co-worker's 
cellphone and made the false threat under a different worker's 
name Monday night at the Barry Callebaut chocolate factory 
in St. Albans.

Police say Pregent then threw the cellphone in a toilet tank.

He first told police he received a bomb threat, then later 
said that didn't happen. He told officers he was unhappy 
with his job and wanted out.

Pregent was charged with false public alarm, petit larceny 
and unlawful mischief.

Apparently they expect the owner of the drowned phone to
deal with him personally, when he gets out of jail.

Re: How does Defraggler compare to Diskeeper?
Dear Webby,
 How does Defraggler compare to Diskeeper?
As always Thank You for a entertaining & 
informational newsletter.
 Steve J

Dear Steve
Diskeeper is $69
When it had problems with high resolution and wide monitors 
I stopped promoting Diskeeper. That was a few years ago.

Defraggler is free, even the PRO version is quite affordable.
It doesn't run just when a screen saver is active, it runs 
when you tell it to,
but you can get fragmentation down to 1% 
or less.

That makes the choice quite obvious.

Have FUN!

A pastor told his congregation that he was going to do
a 4 point message series over the next few  weeks.
Whatever word I end on", he told them, "I want you to
sing a song that  goes with that word".

The 1st week the word was Rock.  So the congregation
sang "Rock of Ages". The 2nd week the word was
Assurance.  So they sang "Blessed Assurance".

The 3rd week the word was Cross. They sang "At the Cross".

The 4th week the word was sex. The congregation was
baffled at what to sing.  Finally an 85 yr old woman
stood up from the back of the church and started singing
"Precious Memories".

Try singing that song next time without laughing.

Amazing Unpoppable Bubbles

My little niece loves when we blow bubbles together, 
but there's always a little frown on her face when she's 
chasing them and they pop. I was buying her these little 
tubes of unbreakable bubble solution that worked okay, 
but not great. Here's a recipe to make your own that 
are very durable.
Approximate Time: 3 minutes
Yield: One jar of bubble solution

Supplies:
1 cup distilled water
1 Tbsp dish soap
1 tsp glycerin
1 jar
1 straw

Steps:
Mix all ingredients in jar, shake well, and let sit for 
a day.

If you have a very clean glove or sock, you can put it 
on your hand and even catch the bubbles!

A man who had just undergone a very complicated
operation kept complaining about a bump on his head
and a terrible headache. Since his operation had been
an intestinal one, there was no earthly reason why he
should be complaining of a headache.

Finally his nurse, fearing that the man might be
suffering from some post-operative shock, spoke to the
doctor about it.

The doctor assured the nurse, "Don't worry about a
thing. He really does have a bump on his head. About
halfway through the operation we ran out of
anesthetic."

Wanting to lose weight, a woman placed a picture of a
shapely, pinup model in her refrigerator to remind her
of her goal. The reminder worked like a charm as the
woman discovered that she had lost ten pounds in the
first month of using this method. 

The downside to this was that her husband spent so much 
time going into the fridge to look at the picture that 
he ended up gaining fifteen pounds!
