>From Roy
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."

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?"

Maid of honor turns Florida wedding into nightmare

It was supposed to be the best day of their life.
Instead, their maid of honor got arrested and is facing
several charges from a wedding day gone wrong.
The Charlotte County ceremony has been described as
beautiful, but when the reception kicked off, guests said
the maid of honor Amanda Willis hit the bottle hard — and
almost hit the best man with his own car.

The wedding pictures tell the story of a content couple,
Brian and Jennifer Butler. They had their cake and first
dance while Willis started drinking.

“She was a mess. She drank almost a whole entire bottle
of Fireball,” said guest Robert Templeton. “She was drunk
within 20 minutes to half an hour,” said Jennifer Butler.

Willis started asking people for their keys, according to
those in attendance. “She just went up to the best man
and grabbed his keys out of his pocket and jumped in his
car,” said Templeton. Willis backed out and almost hit
the best man — Brian’s brother, who grabbed on to the
car, according to WBBH-TV.

“She took off, and his feet were dragging across the
ground. He had to hit the E-brake,” said Templeton.

Guests wrestled Willis out of the car.

“She went back inside. She grabbed up the big bottle of
Captain Morgan and just guzzled it like this,” said
Jennifer Butler.

Then they say she got violent.

“As soon as I turned around, she came up and cracked me
upside of the face,” said Templeton. He said he swung
back before he knew what was happening, and the deputies
were called.

“It was insane. Absolutely insane,” said Jena Templeton.
Deputies said Willis claimed to be having an asthma
attack and started shaking as if she were having a
seizure. They took her to Bayfront Punta Gorda, where she
exposed herself to deputies, assaulted two medics and
kicked over her bed pan, according to the sheriff’s
office.

“She had her be her maid of honor, and it was a bad
decision,” said Robert Templeton.

While Willis was supposed to be the bride’s best friend,
Jennifer Butler said the two are no longer friends.

This arrest is Willis’ ninth in Charlotte County. She
faces charges of larceny, battery, grand theft of a motor
vehicle, and violation of probation.

Re: Spam concern
Dear Webby,
I am a recipe collector. I am a member of several
different 
cooking and recipe ezines, much like yours. There are a 
great deal of  recipe web sites as you know. Some do not 
ask for your email address, however I have run across a 
couple that look to be good sites but they ask me for my

email address and a bit about me, but they are not
offering a weekly mailing. Am I likely to get spyware
from these type of sites. How about commercial recipe
sites i.e. Kraft, Nabisco and so forth, do these
companies waste time spamming and putting spyware on
these sites? Perhaps this is a dumb question, but I have
my machine cleaned up and am trying to keep it fairly
clean. 

Thank you for the suggestion of switching from Norton to 
McAfee, I am amazed at the difference of what got
through. 
Thank you
Ron

Dear Ron
The big and well known outfits are normally quite legit.
When they have something to lose, they toe the line.

With unknown ones I would be a lot more careful.
Just give them a disposable hotmail address and put a
forward into the ho'mail to go to your earthlink address.
If that hotmail address becomes a nuisance, dump it.

You can set up a forwarding address for each
subscription.
Subscribe with for example grandrecipes234"hotmail.com,
then set that hotmail address to forward to your normal
earthlink address.

That way, if you get a lot of spam sent to that address,
then you know that GrandRecipes has sold your address to 
the swine. 

If you still like their recipes, just use MailWasher to
make a filter that dumps everything sent to that address
but does not have recipe in the body of the mail.

MailWasher is still at http://webby.com/mailwasher

Have FUN!
DearWebby




The judge read the charges, then asked, "Are you the
defendant in this case?"

"No sir, your honor, sir," replied Jill, "I've got a
lawyer to do the defendin'. I'm the person who done it."

Sorting Dirty Clothing
Put a cardboard divider in your clothes hamper and use
one side for whites and one for darks. Then when your
family puts clothes in, they will already be sorted.
Towels and sheets can also go on the white side if you
have more dark clothes in family. This has worked very
well in my household for several years.

MOODS OF A WOMAN
An angel of truth and a dream of fiction,
A woman is a bundle of contradiction,
She's afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse,
But will tackle her boyfriend alone in the house.
Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose,
She'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose,
She'll win you in rags, enchant you in silk,
She'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk;
At times she'll be vengeful, merry, and sad,
She'll hate you like poison, and love you like mad.

MOODS OF A MAN
Hungry, Horny  (Not necessarily in that order)

What this man does with stone is unreal!


A man started to snore in his seat in church.
"Please stop snoring,Sir." the usher pleaded. 
"You are disturbing the others."

"Look, buddy," the man said angrily, "I donated enough
to this church that I probably own this whole pew, not
just this seat, and I'll do whatever I want."

"Yes Sir," said the usher. "But you are keeping
everybody awake."
