Good Morning, ,
Today is Friday, February 10
Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!


Beatiful full moon out. The Chinook blew away the -30,
shook 8" of snow off the trees, blew half of that eastwards
across the prairies, and started to thaw what fell to the
ground. It gave it's name to the migyhtiest helicopter, and
it is quite obvious, why.

In a week, after the Chinook has crossed the prairies,
picked up moisture from the Great Lakes, and collided with
cold Atlantic air, it will be called "The Alberta Clipper"
and will dump onto Toronto and Chicago.

We call that area "The Far East". Left wingers and
politicians live there, nice and cozy with Alberta oil and
gas and taxes. The thought of them getting dumped on next
week does not grieve us at all.

In the meantime we enjoy the warm and rambunctious Chinook
and the very pretty moonshine on what's left of all the
snow. It is times like this when I wish I was not the only
one walking and enjoying the night.

Have FUN!

Deep in the woods of Tennessee on a country road, a 
preacher hit and killed a dog. The dog's owner stood 
nearby, a gun in his hand.The preacher looks at the owner 
sheepishly and says, "Looks as if I killed your dog."

"Sure does."

"I'm sorry. Was it a valuable dog?"

"I wouldn't say that."

"Well, suppose I gave you a hundred dollars. Would that 
be enough?"

"Well, I don't know."

"Two hundred dollars. That should do it."

"Sounds good."

The preacher reached into his pocket and came up with 
the money. Pressing it into the man's hand, he said,
"I'm sorry I spoiled your plans to go hunting."

"I wasn't going hunting. The vet told me to take that 
mangy mutt out to the woods, do him one last favor and 
put him out of his misery, cause pills don't help him no 
more. But, Thanks for the $200."

Drunk Florida woman drives into ditch, says she’s dead

An Alachua woman drove drunkenly into a ditch Wednesday and
told police she was dead, Florida Highway Patrol said.

At about 5:26 p.m., Cheryl Ann Morris, 54, crashed her black
Dodge Intrepid into a ditch at County Road 232 and Northwest
202nd Street, according to an incident report.

When troopers asked her if she was injured, she said she was
dead, according to the report. Morris told police a silver
truck drove her off the road.

Troopers noticed she slurred her words and kept repeating
herself.

One asked if Morris was wearing her seat belt, and she
responded, “What, do I look stupid?” as she attempted to
fasten it across her lap, according to the report. She was
walked to an FHP car and put in the back seat, according to
the report.

When troopers searched the area, they found a small bottle
of wine, which a witness said Morris had in her possession.

Morris said she only drank two beers during the evening,
according to the report. Morris performed poorly on field
sobriety exercises and refused a breathalyzer test.

Police arrested her on charges of driving under the
influence and property damage. She was taken to the Alachua
County Jail where she remains, as of press time, in lieu of
a $15,100 bond.

Re: Typical Mailwasher result


Just to illustrate for those, who don't have MailWasher yet,
here is a typical example. Normally my filters dump mails
like that right on the server, without showing them on the

The red part is what the actual, underlying link points to.
.ru  means the domain is in Russia.
That does not necessarily mean the scammers are in Russia,
just that they are using a Russian domain. 

Regardless of where a domain is hosted, if a link has a
totally different underlying address, then  dump that mail.

Little Johnny was having problems in English class, so his 
teacher decided to stop by on her way home to speak with 
his parents.

When she rang the bell, Little Johnny answered.  The teacher
smiled and said, "I'd like to talk to your mother or
father."

Little Johnny said, "Sorry, but they ain't here."

"Little Johnny!" she said, "what is it with your grammar?"

Little Johnny said, "Beats me, but dad sure was mad that
they had to go bail her out again!"

Making Chocolate Dipped Wafer Cookies
By lalala... [795 Posts, 103 Comments]
These chocolate dipped wafer cookies would make a great gift
for your Valentine this year.

Ingredients:
strawberry wafers
white chocolate and chocolate Wilton's Candy Melts
Candy Melts warmer, optional
Valentine's sprinkles
wax paper

Steps:
Melt Candy Melts according to package directions or in the
warmer. NOTE: I recommend melting small batches as the
wafers tend to leave crumbs in the chocolate.

Brush off excess crumbs from the wafers. Dip the end of each
wafer into the chocolate and gently shake to remove any
excess.

Lay them on the wax paper and sprinkle with festive
sprinkles. Allow chocolate to harden. Enjoy!



 For dark, semi-sweet chocolate you
can use Bakers Semi-Sweet chocolate chips and a bit of
butter in a flat bottom bowl, heat it a minute in the
microwave, stir it fast and put it onto the heating plate of
your coffee maker to keep it hot. Then you can dip the
wafers lengthwise with half of it immersed, flip them onto
the wax paper dry side down, so that some of the chocolate
streaks down towards the dry side. Chocolate addicts prefer
that method!
Have FUN!
