Why A Ship Is Called "SHE"

A ship is called "she" because there is always a great deal
of bustle about her; there is usually a gang of men about',
she has a waist and stays; 
it takes a lot of paint to keep her looking good;
it is not the initial expense that breaks you,
it is the upkeep;  she can be all decked out;
it takes an experienced man to handle her correctly,
and without a man at the helm, she is absolutely
uncontrollable. She shows her topsides, hides her bottom
and, when coming into port, always heads for the buoys.

Dear Mom,
Our scoutmaster told us all write to our parents in case you
saw the flood on TV and worried.  We are OK.  Only two of
our tents and four sleeping bags got washed away.  Luckily,
none of us got drowned because we were all up on the
mountain looking for Jeff when it happened.  Oh yes, please
call Jeff's mother and tell her he is OK.  He can't write
because of the cast.  I got to ride in one of the search &
rescue jeeps.  It was neat.

We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been
for the lightning.  Scoutmaster Webb got mad at Hector for
going on a hike alone without telling anyone.  Hector said
he did tell him, but it was during the fire so he probably
didn't hear him.  

Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can will
blow up?  The wet wood still didn't burn, but one of our
tents did.  Also some of our clothes.  Larry is
going to look weird until his hair grows back.

We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Webb gets the car
fixed.  It wasn't his fault about the wreck.  The brakes
worked OK when we left.

Scoutmaster Webb said that with a car that old you have to
expect something to break down; that's probably why he can't
get insurance on it.  We think it's a neat car.  He doesn't
care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets
us ride on the tailgate.  It gets pretty hot with
10 people in a car.

He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway
patrolman stopped and talked to us.  Scoutmaster Webb is a
neat guy.  Don't worry, he is a good driver.  In fact, he is
teaching his brother Doug how to drive.  But he only lets
him drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any
traffic.  All we ever see up there are logging trucks.

This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and
swimming out in the lake.  Scoutmaster Webb wouldn't let me
because I can't swim, and Jeff was afraid he would sink
because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the
lake.  It was great.  You can still see some of the
trees under the water from the flood.  Scoutmaster Webb
isn't crabby like some scoutmasters.  He didn't even get mad
about the life jackets.

He has to spend a lot of time working on the car so we are
trying not to cause him any trouble.

Guess what?  We have all passed our first aid merit badges. 
When Rob dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how
a tourniquet works.
Also Bruce and I threw up.  Scoutmaster Webb said it
probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken.
He said they got sick that way with the food they ate in
prison.  I'm so glad he got out and become our scoutmaster. 
He said he sure figured out how to get things done better
while he was doing his time.

I have to go now.  We are going into town to mail our
letters and buy bullets and dynamite.

Don't worry about anything.  We are fine.
Love, Dave

Dopey parents passed out in car
with baby on the back seat

An 8-month old child was found inside a car while two adults
were passed out in the front seats early Tuesday morning,
according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.  
 
Authorities said that a deputy spotted the car in a Circle K
parking lot on East New York Avenue in DeLand at about 3:15
a.m.
 
Investigators said the driver’s side door was open and the
car windows were fogged. The deputy said he saw a man and a
woman unconscious in the front seats.   

Authorities said the child was in a car seat and was
sweating profusely. The sheriff’s office said the child’s
diaper was “saturated with fluids and leaking from the
diaper edges around the legs.”

In a report, the deputy also said that “the appearance of
the baby was dirty and it appeared the baby had not been
bathed in some time. The baby appeared to be hungry. The
baby cried and reached for an empty bottle when she saw it.”
 
The deputy said that when he woke the adults, the woman
appeared confused and could not identify where she was. The
deputy said the woman had difficulty spelling her name due
to her level of impairment.
 
The woman, Kimberly McCaffrey, was placed under arrest on
child neglect charges. The deputy said he found a clear
plastic baggie with white residue in her left, front pocket.
 
Sean Gannon was in the front seat and the key was in the
ignition. The deputy arrested Gannon on charges of driving
with a suspended license.
 
Authorities said the deputy observed track marks on the
man’s inner arms, indicating intravenous drug use, and a
used syringe was found in his left, front pocket.

Sean Gannon was in the front seat and the key was in the
ignition. The deputy arrested Gannon on charges of driving
with a suspended license.
 
Authorities said the deputy observed track marks on the
man’s inner arms, indicating intravenous drug use, and a
used syringe was found in his left, front pocket.
The body camera video from the police department shows the
officer questioning McCaffrey.
 
“Alright, what are we doing in the parking lot passes out
with the door open and a baby in the backseat?” the officer
asked.
 
“I apologize,” McCaffrey said.
 
The deputy tested the residue in the baggie and in the
syringe, using a NARK #22 test kit. The results were
positive for the presence of opiates, authorities said.
 
The two were charged with possession of opiates and later
taken to the Volusia County Jail.
 
According to a report, McCaffrey’s mother said that she,
“Had been down this road with Kimberly too many times and
refused to take custody of the child.”
 
A judge ordered McCaffrey not to have custody with her
daughter without permission from the Department of Children
and Families.
 
The baby and her two older siblings were placed in foster
care.
 
Court records show this is McCaffrey’s first drug arrest in
Volusia County. It’s Gannon’s ninth.
 
“The opioid epidemic touches innocent lives every day,” a
post on the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page
reads.
 
Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said the county had
101 overdose deaths last year and 95 so far this year.
 
“The problem is out of control and the collateral damage is
the kids,” he said.

Re: Slow Computer
Dear Webby, 
my computer is so slow, I have a lot of songs saved , will
that make the computer be so slow? also I had a lot saved
in my Favorites, would that make it slow? I was just
wondering
why it is so slow, thanks,
Annette.
I enjoy your letter every day, keep up the good work.
Annette


Dear Annette
Files saved and favorites stored don't slow down a computer.
What slows it down are the following things:

Viruses and Trojans
Get rid of those with Malwarebytes

Tool bars, Search bars and other spyware
Get rid of those with Spybot-Search&Destroy

Large IN, OUT and TRASH mailboxes
Hard drives that are not properly defragmented

Temp files and leftovers (Best for that is CrapCleaner from
http://webby.com/tools  it's free! )

Have FUN!

The school of agriculture's dean of admissions was inter-
viewing a prospective student, "Why have you chosen this
career?" he asked.

"I dream of making a million dollars in farming, like my
father," the student replied.

"WOW! Your father made a million dollars in farming?"
echoed the dean much impressed.

"No," replied the applicant. "But he always dreamed of it."

If you know the Bible -- even a little -- you'll find this
hilarious!
This comes from a Catholic elementary school. Kids were
asked questions about the Old and New Testaments. The
following statements about the bible were written by
children. They have not been retouched or corrected (i.e.,
incorrect spelling has been left in).

1. In the first book of the bible, Guinessis, God got tired
of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off

2. Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. Noah's wife
was called Joan of Ark. Noah built an ark, which the
animals
come on to in pears.

3. Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of
fire by night.

4. Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony.

5. Samson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a
Jezebel like Delilah.

6. Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the
Apostles.

7. Moses led the hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made
unleavened bread which is bread without any ingredients.

8. The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert.
Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten
attachments.

9. The first commandment was when Eve told adam to eat the
apple.

10. The seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit
adultery.

11. Moses died before he ever reached Canada. Then Joshua
led the hebrews in the battle of Geritol.

12. The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told
his son to stand still and he obeyed him.

13. David was a hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. he
fought with the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in
Biblical times.

14. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 300 wives and 700
porcupines.

15. When Mary heard that she was the mother of Jesus, she
sang the MagnaCarta.

16. When the three wise guys from the east side arrived,
they found Jesus in the manager.

17. Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate
contraption.

18. St. John the blacksmith dumped water on his head.

19. Jesus enunciated the Golden Rule, which says to do one
to others before they do one to you. He also explained, "a
man doth not live by sweat alone."

20. It was a miracle when Jesus rose from the dead and
managed to get the tombstone off the entrance.

21. The people who followed the lord were called the 12
decibels.

22. The epistles were the wives of the apostles.

23. One of the oppossums was St. Matthew who was also a
taximan.

24. St. Paul cavorted to Christianity. He preached holy
acrimony, which is another name for marriage.

When I was still in middle management, I had a reputation
at work for being a strict boss. One day I was in the break
room with another manager. I reached into the refrigerator
for my lunch, which was packed in a Ace Hardware paper bag.

My co-worker stopped in mid-bite and stared at me, looking
a little tense. When I pulled my sandwich out of the bag, he
sighed in relief.

"What's the matter?" I asked him.

"Uh, nothing," he replied. "I was just beginning to think
you really DO eat nails for lunch."

Brian staggered into the house at two o'clock in the
morning. As he entered his bedroom, he found another man in
bed with his wife, Judy.

Judy wife pushed the man off her and demanded to know where
Brian had been until two o'clock in the morning.

Brian looked at his wife's lover and demanded, "Who the heck
is this guy, and what is he doing in bed with you?"

Judy responded, "Don't go changing the subject!  Where in
the heck have you been so late?"
