A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit
filed by an old rancher. The rancher's prize bull was missing
from the section through which the railroad passed. The
rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.

The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the
peace in the back room of the general store. The attorney for
the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get
him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job,
and finally, even though the rancher insisted that a prize bull
was worth five times what an ordinary bull is worth, he agreed
to be satisfied with just half of what he was asking.

After the rancher had signed the release and took the check
and cashed it in at the store, the young lawyer couldn't resist
gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher,
"You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over
on you in there. I couldn't have won the case. The engineer
was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train
went through your ranch that morning. I didn't have one single
witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"

The old rancher replied,
"Well, I'll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about
winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home
this morning."

Tennessee teacher arrested on sex abuse charges

A Knox County teacher was arrested on sexual abuse charges 
involving a 14 year old student.

News outlets report 28-year-old Serena Rae Milan turned 
herself in to authorities Wednesday at the Roger D. Wilson 
Detention Facility. A presentment shows she faces multiple 
charges including statutory rape by an authority figure, 
solicitation of a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor 
and sexual activity involving a minor. She worked at 
Northwest Middle School and resigned in July.

The presentment alleges Milan repeatedly engaged in various 
sexual acts with a 14-year-old student from February to July.

In a statement, defense attorney Gregory Isaacs says Milan 
"intends to accept responsibility for her actions while a 
teacher in the Knox County Schools system."

Re: Verizon > AOL
Dear Webby,
Tell the subscribers if they have a Verizon address,
they will need to convert it to an AOL address by spring.
Walter

Dear Walter
Considering the dumb stuff they are known for, it is not 
really a surprise.
Your link to Verizon Email explains it all.

There has been an update to that:
You can continue to use your Verizon address, 
but you have to register with AOL and use their email 
system.

Thanks to Walter for this alert!

Have FUN!

One of my first evenings back from a business trip, my girl's
understanding parents left us alone in the living room.
Naturally, we did not talk all the time. In the midst of a kiss, I
noticed her little sister in her nightgown watching us from the
top of the stairway.

I told her: "If you will be a good girl and go to bed, I will give
you a quarter."

Without taking the bribe or saying a word, she ran off but
soon was back again.
"Here is a dollar," she said. "I wanna watch."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Best Bacon Brussels Sprouts

The reason why the word "best" is in the recipe is because 
this dish always converts the brussels sprouts naysayers 
by first bite. Deconstructing the sprout by serving it in 
loose leaf form helps those who compare the little vegetable 
to "mushy alien heads." Mushy alien heads? Yes! That's what 
I called them for 28 years! Now, cooked properly, I absolutely 
adore them. And guess what? This recipe has only three 
ingredients and takes 10 minutes to make. I have served this 
at Thanksgiving dinner numerous times and even the little 
ones loved it. Give it a shot!
Approximate Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 sides
Ingredients:
6 large brussels sprouts (or 8 mediums)
2 strips of bacon
5 walnuts
salt, pepper, and optional sprinkle of sugar to taste
Best Bacon Brussels Sprouts
 
Steps:
Cut little cone/triangle shapes from the bottoms of the sprouts.
Pull off the individual leaves off sprouts and collect in bowl/plate.
Chop bacon into tiny cubes and render in a pan on medium heat 
until crispy.
Remove bacon from pan and let rest on paper towel. Leave bacon 
drippings in pan and add brussels sprouts leaves. Cook for 
about 5 minutes.
If you like your brussels sprouts on the softer, more wilted 
side, add a teaspoon of water to the pan and cover with lid, 
cook for an extra minute. I like mine crispy so I don't 
really do this ;)
Chop nuts and add to sprouts. Stir well, add bacon back in. 
Season with salt and pepper to taste. You wont need much 
because of the bacon. Sprinkle in a tiny bit of sugar to 
pull out the caramelized notes, if you like. I do! 
Serve up and enjoy!

There was this bank where the employees went on strike
leaving the bank officers to do the teller's tasks. While
the strike was on, Jane called the bank, and asked
if they were open. They told her they had two windows open
upstairs in the office area.

Then Jane asked, . . . "I'm afraid of heights, couldn't you
just let me in though the back door?"

Noella's Blunders
Thank you to Bonnie in Candia for her blunder:

Some years ago I was trying, to remove a label from a 
3-liter bottle of cola.  As I had done so many times before, 
I used a very sharp razor blade knife to carefully cut the 
label. Uh oh! Not careful enough. The bottle exploded. 
In my kitchen. All OVER my kitchen. Including an open 
silverware drawer. And the ceiling. The first thing I did 
was cry. Then I got busy. Real busy. It took me three hours 
to clean the entire mess, all the while thanking all the angels 
that it was DIET cola and not sticky. I probably don't need 
to say that I never, ever tried to do that again!

Noella

--------------------

The steam from a steam iron set to max and a plastic
scraper work very well to get the labels off, 
even on ancient jam jars.
