It's no longer a question of staying healthy. It's a question of
finding a sickness you like.
--- Jackie Mason (1934 - ) 

Say what you will about the Ten Commandments, you must always
come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them.
--- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956) 

A new survey found that the country with the highest number   
of contented citizens in the world is Mexico. Apparently,   
this is because everybody who was unhappy in Mexico has moved   
to Los Angeles.

>From Boris
My partner and I were in our police car when we were dispatched
to break up a domestic dispute. 

We spoke with the couple and the problem was quickly resolved. 

On leaving, I was admiring the craftsmanship of their
turn-of-the-century home 
and reached for what I thought was the front door. 

Realizing my mistake, I was turning away in embarrassment when I
heard my partner say:
"If you have any more problems, we'll be in your closet."

Tony, having his second son christened, was much concerned   
about getting the correct name on the birth certificate.   

"Will you please name the baby just as I give it to you?"   

"Certainly," answered the minister, "why shouldn't I?"   

"Well you see, it's like this," replied Tony. "When I told   
you I wanted to name my first boy Tom, you wrote on his   
birth certificate 'Thomas.'   

This boy I want to name Jack."

I was on vacation, playing the slot machines.  It was my first
time in a casino, and I wasn't sure how the machines operated.

"Excuse me." I said to a casino employee.  "How does this work?"

The worker showed me how to insert a bill, hit the spin button,
and operate the release handle.

"And where does the money come out?" I asked.

He smiled and motioned to a far wall before saying,
"Usually at the ATM."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by


Alexandra Rose Ciliento, 29,
Scottsdale,
Arizona


AZ mom arrested for leaving 4-year-old 
daughter home alone while she went partying

A 29-year-old woman is accused of leaving her 4-year-old daughter
home alone to go partying in Scottsdale, police said in court
records.

The little girl knocked on a neighbor's door at about 6:30 a.m.
Sunday and told them her mother, Alexandra Rose Ciliento, wasn't
home, according to police. Authorities said it turned out that
mom had been gone overnight.

The neighbor told police they waited with the girl for about 45
minutes with no sign of her mother before calling 911.

Officers were able to reach Ciliento at 8:20 a.m. after obtaining
her number from the child's father. When she returned home, she
told Scottsdale police she left her apartment near Bell and Pima
roads at 11 p.m. Saturday for the Scottsdale entertainment
district.

"No plan was set in place to have the child watched by a family
member or guardian. Nor was there any attempt made to secure a
babysitter," police said in court records.

Ciliento  was not aware that her child could open a locked door
and leave the residence,  court records state.

 Ciliento is facing one felony count of child abuse. The
Department of Child Safety was contacted by police after her
arrest, records add.

Spybot?is it okay to run malware bytes together?spybot seems
toscan slower...tyvm for all the answers and help its  gr8tly

Richi

Hi Richi
I run Spybot about once a month or when I suspect any spyware.
No, I would not run both at the same time. They would slow things
down too much to be able to continue working without a lot of
cussing.
Have FUN!

Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. 
No need to re-install them. 
The only mover recommended by Intel and Microsoft.


Officers at a military installation were being lectured about a
new computer.  The training officer said the computer was able to
withstand nuclear and chemical attacks.

Suddenly, he saw that one of the officers had a cup of coffee and
yelled, "There will be no eating or drinking in this room!
You'll have to get rid of that coffee."

The officer said meekly, "Sure, but why?"

"Because a coffee spill could short the keyboard and wipe
out all of the data!"

Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?"
But the initials really stand for "What would Jesus drive?"

One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth
because "the Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out of the
Garden of Eden in a Fury."

But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a
Geo. The passage urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies
with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm."

Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses'
followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's
horn sounds a long blast." Some scholars insist that Jesus
drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about it. As proof, they
cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd,
"For I did not speak of my own Accord."

Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as
evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of
Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills."

Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler:
"Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land."And,
following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled in a
Honda: "The Apostles were in one Accord."

Cover Windows With Plastic
Put plastic over your windows in the cold months, especially
if you have single pane windows.. You would be surprised
how much cold air gets through your seals in an older home.
It is especially true this year with energy costs likely to go
through the roof.

The kits for that are pretty well impossible
to find nowadays, but you can use pallet-wrap. It is just
shrink wrap on 3 or 4 foot wide rolls, used to wrap around
loaded pallets to keep everything together and protected.
You can get that and wide scotch tape at warehousing needs
suppliers.

Since another church member, Bonnie, had mentioned that she   
and her husband were struggling with a big decision on   
whether they should become missionaries, my friend offered   
to include them on the prayer list.   

So at the meeting, my friend announced in front of the whole   
congregation, "Let's all pray that Bonnie and Lee can make a   
decision about the missionary position."
