Good Morning, ,


Today is Saturday, June 11

Re Gordon's IE printing problem:
Thanks for your help Webby. I tied Chrome but didn’t
care for the layout of it (too used to IE I guess!).
Then tried Firefox and quite like it.
Both Chrome and Firefox fixed the printing problem I was
having.
Thanks again for your help.
Gordon

The other day I observed a rather funny scene at the
golf course across the river.

A golfer became so mad that he threw his brand new
looking set of golf clubs into the river.

A few minutes later he came back, waded into the
river, and retrieved his clubs. He proceeded to take
his car keys out of the bag -- then threw the clubs
back into the water.

By the time the sailor pulled into a little town, every
hotel room was taken.
"You've got to have a room somewhere," he pleaded
with a proprietor, "or just a bed, I don't care where."

"Well, I do have a double room with one occupant --
an Air Force guy," admitted the manager, "and he
might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you the
truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms
have complained in the past. I'm not sure it'd be worth
it to you."

"No problem," the tired Navy man assured him,
"I'll take it."

The next morning the sailor came down to breakfast
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "How'd you sleep?"
asked the manager.

"Never better." 

The manager was impressed.
"No problem with the other guy snoring?"

"Nope, I shut him up in no time," said the Navy guy.

"How'd you manage that?" asked the manager.

"He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came
in the room," the sailor explained. "I went over, gave
him a kiss on the cheek, and said,
'Goodnight, beautiful,'
and he sat up all night watching me."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by


Google reports St. Louis man's email account for 
storing child pornography

Julien C. Pender,
25,
St Louis,
Missouri

A St. Louis man was caught with thousands of child
pornography images and multimedia files when Google
alerted the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children, police say.

Julien C. Pender, 25, of the 4300 block of Neosho
Street, had more than 2,700 files showing children
performing sex acts, according to charges filed Tuesday
in St. Louis Circuit Court.

Pender was caught when Google reported Pender's Gmail
account and IP address, police say. Authorities
connected the IP address to Pender's address and raided
his home with a search warrant on June 12, 2014. In the
raid, police said they seized 2,690 graphic files and 46
sexually explicit multimedia files including video of
children.

Pender was not in custody Wednesday. Reached by phone,
he denied intentionally downloading child pornography
but said he used to routinely download games, movies and
TV shows.

"Sometimes files get in there," Pender said. "Sometimes
you get viruses. That's a risk you have. And
unfortunately I downloaded things I wasn't trying to
download."

He also said he was "locked out" of the Gmail address
Google reported to police as the one being used to store
child pornography. Pender said he was unaware of the
charges being filed Tuesday.

"I thought all that was dropped," he said. "I thought
all that was over with."

Google's terms of service says the company uses
automated systems to analyze content on its servers
including emails to identify child pornography that
passes through its systems. Google also says it reports
illegal content such as child sex abuse imagery to law
enforcement.

Pender was charged Tuesday with two counts of felony
child porn possession. Bail was set at $50,000 cash,
each.

Protection, do you think that is enough ? or do i need
more spyware pograms? tyvm. for your help.. love the

Richi

Dear Richi
Combined with common sense, McAfee is normally enough.
If you do get hit with something extraordinary, you can
still add Malwarebytes. 

If you suspect nuisance spyware, get Spybot-
Search&Destroy.
http://www.safer-networking.org/spybot2-own-mirror-1/
It is free.

Have FUN!

How do you fix a scratched glass top stove? 
I scratched it by shaking the pop corn pan (duh)!
Barbara from St Cloud, FL

I joined this site just to give you this gem! I did the
same on our week old stove that my hubby was craving.
Try baking soda on a damp cloth. Once you buff all of
the soda off it is as close to new as you are gonna get!
I was impressed! Good luck!

A lady was driving from her husband's office to the
kids' school, with twelve youngsters in the car, when
she blew past a red light, and a police car.
Much to the delight of the kids, the police officer pulled
her over, wrote her a ticket, lectured her on traffic
safety, and finished by saying,
"Lady, don't you know when to stop?"

Tomato red in the cheeks, the embarrassed woman said,
"Hey! Only six of those kids are mine!"

The man passed out in a dead faint as he came out of

Someone dialed 911.

When the paramedics arrived, they helped him regain
consciousness and asked if he knew what caused him
to faint.

"It was enough to make anybody faint," he said.
