A woman was driving down the highway about 75 miles 
an hour, when she noticed a motorcycle policeman following

her. 

Instead of slowing down, she picked up speed. When she 
looked back again, their were two motorcycles following
her. 

She shot up to 90 miles. The next time she looked around,
there were three cops following her. Suddenly, she spotted

a gas station looming ahead. 

She screeched to a stop and ran into the ladies' room.

Ten minutes later, she innocently walked out. The three
cops were standing there, waiting for her. Without batting
an eye, she said coyly, "I'll bet none of you thought I
would make it."

"That's right, Ma'am," one of them said. "That's why each
one of us needs your autograph." And they held out their
ticket pads for her to sign.

 when he arrived in a small town to preach a sermon.
 Wanting to mail a letter, he asked a young boy where
 the post office was.

When the boy told him, Rev. Graham  thanked him and said,
"If you'll come to the Baptist church  this evening, you
can hear me telling everyone how to get . to Heaven."

"I don't think I'll be there," the boy said.   "You don't
even know your way to the post office."

Evil stepmother arrested in Pennsylvania for 
torturing 4 year old stepp-son

A stepmom in Pennsylvania has been arrested relating to
claims she abused her 4-year-old stepson by beating and
burning the toddler and feeding him adult laxatives and
hot sauce.

31-year-old Danielle L. Miller of Providence Township,
Pennsylvania is still in jail on a $300,000 bond.

Nathan P. Duke, the boy's dad, is also incarcerated on
$100,000 bail. He is charged with failing to stop or
report the abuse, which may have been ongoing for as long
as a year.

The investigation began when a family member showed law
enforcement pictures of the boy with bruises and injuries
across his body. Medical experts determined most of the
injuries were intentionally inflicted or suspicious burns.

The criminal complaint noted the injuries were "too
numerous to be explained by normal childhood activity and
clearly indicative of inflicted trauma."

One witness claimed she saw Miller verbally and physically
abuse the boy every day for about three months. Miller
made the toddler eat poop beans,� which contained adult
laxatives and then pour hot sauce in his mouth, and not
give him water for 15 minutes.

The witness also claimed Miller would play mermaid, that
is, wrapping up the legs with a sheet and duct tape and
confining him, and the boy also wore soiled pull-ups for
hours at a time.

It also appears that the stepmom locked the boy in a
padded room, a closet, and then tortured him by scratching
the wall and saying the "rats would come and get him."

Miller also regularly cursed at the toddler, yelling: 
"I'm gonna kick your ass. You are a f–ing pig, You nasty
ass hole,� and You have a stupid, f–ing, ugly faace."

Charges of aggravated assault, false imprisonment,
unlawful restraint, endangering the welfare of a child,
terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, and harassment
have been filed against Miller.

Duke faces charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated
assault and endangering the welfare of a child, because he
knew about it and did not stop or report the abuse.

Dear Webby,
Does a screensaver slow down a long download ?
Corey

Dear Corey
If you use one of the standard screensavers, that come
with Windows, except for the slide show, then they won't
slow down a download.

If you use third party screensavers, you will have to test
them and see. Most don't affect downloads, but some,
especially slide show type screensavers, do access the
hard drive and could slow down your downloads.

A sixth grade class is doing some spelling drills.
The teacher asks Tommy if he can spell 'before.'
He stands up and says, "Before, B-E-P-H-O-R."

The teacher says, "No, that's wrong. Can anyone else spell
before?"

Another little boy stands up and says, 
"Before, B-E-F-O-O-R."

Again the teacher says, "No, that's wrong."

The teacher asks, ", can you spell 'before'?"
 stands up and says, "Before, B-E-F-O-R-E."

"Excellent , now can you use it in a
sentence?"

 says, "That's easy. Two plus two be fore."

Cheese Lover's Treat
By likekinds [238 Posts, 1,102 Comments]

I use to make a wicked baked macaroni and cheese, with two
kinds of cheese for the macaroni and a third for the
topping. On one occasion I baked that and an apple cake
based on a carrot cake recipe, that Mama took to a church
social. When I picked her up, I asked how the macaroni and
cake tasted. She said, "I don't know. It was all gone
before I got to taste either".
 
I don't cook like that anymore. Anything I cook now is
usually quick and easy. When I did cook macaroni, I let
the cheese topping get a little brown and crusty around
the edges. To me, that was the best part of the dish. With
that in mind, I contrived a little snack I can't get
enough of; simple, quick and delicious.
Sooo good, people. And if you were doing this for
breakfast, you could put scrambled eggs atop the snack
once it has finished cooking. Much, much better than
scrambled eggs with the cheese just melted on top or mixed
in when scrambling.
Go for it, y'all!

Steps:
Cut French bread into about 3/4 to an inch slices. Put a
thin film of mayonnaise on one side of each.

Put the slices in a non stick pan greased with melted
butter, mayo side up. Then sprinkle a hefty layer of
finely grated cheddar cheese on top. Watch and check
closely. When the bread has toasted to a nice golden brown
on the bottom, flip it over.

With the cheese on the bottom, you have to work quickly.
In less than a minute, the cheese will turn a rich, crusty
brown, just like on the macaroni. Immediately remove from
the pan onto a ready plate.

A Jewish lady goes into a furniture store owned
by a Jewish man.  She picks out a lamp she
likes and brings it to the counter.  She finds out
the price is $69.95 and says, "Oy, down the
street at Goldstein's these are only $49.95!"

The owner asks why she doesn't buy it from
Goldstein's, and she says because they just
ran out of them.

The owner then says,  "Ha! Their price I beat!
They're only $29.95 when I'm out of them!"

A police car pulls up in front of Aunt Gertrude's house,
and Uncle Leo gets out.  The polite policeman explained
that this elderly gentleman said that he was lost in the
park and couldn't find his way home.

"Oh Leo", said Aunt Gertrude, "You've been going to that
park for over 30 years!  How could you get lost?"

Leaning close to Aunt Gertrude, so that the policeman
couldn't hear, Uncle Leo whispered, "I wasn't lost.  I was
just too tired to walk home."
