Good Morning, !
Today is Thursday, August 30
By the time you read this, I will be on the way to Calgary
for injections into my eyeballs. Ouch and Ouch.
Darren, a neighbor, will drive me back afterwards.
There won't be any newsletters or emails sent out on
Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
Monday is Labor Day. Come to think of it, I have NEVER in
my life had Labor Day off. Extra pay for working on Labor
Day, sure, but never had Labor Day off. So, if there is no
newsletter in your mail on Monday, I will celebrate my
first Labor Day!
Have FUN!

Well, times are changing. Twenty years ago, if I told a
woman that I wanted to google her Wiki with my Palm Pilot,
she would probably have either slapped or kissed me.
Today she'll offer to guide me in.

Thanks to Cookie for this story:
A little old lady is walking down the street, dragging two
plastic garbage bags with her, one in each hand.
There's a hole in one of the bags, and every once in a
while a $20 bill is flying out of it onto the pavement.
Noticing this, a policeman stops her...."Ma'am, there are
$20 bills falling out of that bag...
"Darn!" says the little old lady....."I' d better go back
and see if I can still find some. Thanks for the warning!"
"Well, now, not so fast," says the cop. "How did you get
all that money? Did you steal it?"
"Oh, no", says the little old lady. "You see, my back yard
backs up to the parking lot of the football stadium. Each
time there's a game, a lot of fans come and pee in the
bushes, right into my flower beds!
So, I go and stand behind the bushes with a big hedge
clipper, and each time someone sticks his little thingie
through the fence, I say: $20 or off it comes!"
"Hey, not a bad idea!" laughs the cop. "OK, good luck!
By the way, what's in the other bag?"
"Well", says the little old lady, "not all of them pay."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Paul Guadalupe Gonzales,
45
Pasadena,
Mexifornia
Mexifornia Man Accused of Serial
Dining-and-Dashing, Leaving Dates
to Pay, Faces Multiple Felonies
A man criticized as the “dine-and-dash dater” after
being accused of meeting women at restaurants across the
Los Angeles area only to leave them with the bill pleaded
not guilty to charges of theft and extortion on Monday,
prosecutors said.
Paul Guadalupe Gonzales, 45, allegedly connected with a
string of women through dating apps and websites and
invited them out to dinner between May 2016 and this April
with the intent of using them as a meal ticket, the L.A.
County District Attorney’s Office said in a release.
He arranged dates at restaurants in Pasadena, Long Beach,
Burbank and Los Angeles, where he ordered and consumed food
and drinks, then disappeared before the bill had been
paid,
the DA’s office said.
Eight women told prosecutors they’d footed the bill, one of
them under the belief that Gonzales would pay her back.
And
at least twice, the restaurant paid its own check — making
those businesses victims in the criminal complaint,
officials said.
In total, Gonzales is accused of defrauding the women of
more than $950. Expecting big city women's libbers to pay
for dinner is of course considered quite naughty!
He’s also charged with receiving hair salon services, then
leaving before paying.
Investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Gonzales on
July 3, and inmate records show he was taken into custody
Saturday, Aug. 25, in Pasadena.
He was subsequently charged with seven counts of extortion,
two counts of attempted extortion and one count of grand
theft — all felonies. He also faces two misdemeanor counts
each of defrauding an innkeeper and petty theft.
If convicted as charged, the defendant could spend up to 13
years in state prison, prosecutors said.
Gonzales is scheduled to return to court in Pasadena for a
preliminary hearing on Sept. 7.

Re: hiberfil.sys
Dear Webby,
I got this huge file called hiberfil.sys, and it's
fragmented
so badly that even DisKeeper can't do anything about it.
Actually, it's the only fragmented file it shows on the C:
drive.
Is there a way to get rid of it?
Leanne
Dear Leanne
hiberfil.sys is just a snapshot of what you got open and
running, what Windows will return to when it wakes up
from hibernating.
If you get rid of, or move hiberfil.sys then Windows has
nothing to return to when you get back from lunch.
That is why DisKeeper won't touch it.
The only safe way to get rid of hiberfil.sys is to turn of
Hibernation. Go to
Control Panel
Power
Hibernation
Apply
Then reboot. The file is gone.
Now tell Diskeeper to do a defrag and snug everything up.
You will wind up with a lean and mean and fast C: drive
with zero fragments.
After that, you can turn hibernation on again.
It's a good idea to do that once or twice a year.
Have FUN

A woman came up behind her husband while he was enjoying
his morning coffee and slapped him on the back of the head
with the cast iron frying pan.
"I found a piece of paper in your pant pocket with the name
"Marylou" written on it,"
she said, furious. "You had better have an explanation."
"Calm down, honey," the man replied. "Remember last week
when I was at the dog track? That was the name of the dog
I bet on."
The next morning, his wife snuck up on him and smacked
him again.
"What was that for?" he complained.
"Your dog called last night."

A guy goes up to this girl in a bar and says, "Would you
like to dance?"
The girl says, "I don't like this song, but even if I did,
I wouldn't dance with you."
The guy says, "I'm sorry, you must have misunderstood me, I
said you look fat in those pants."

Shopping By The Seasons
By preparing meals with foods that are in season you can
save a lot of money. Other seasonal deals to look for are
meat sales around the holidays. Some examples are hot dogs
before the 4th of July and specialty meats like ham or
turkey for Easter,
Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Supposedly a true story, but it sounds like an Urban
Legend.
A British doctor examining a young woman with abdominal
pains asked her if she was sexually active. She said that
she wasn't. A later examination showed that she was
pregnant.
Asked why she said that she was not sexually active, the
woman replied: I'm not, I just lie there.
When asked if she knew who the father was, with a puzzled
look she replied,
"No. Who?"
