who wants a prayer said for their shortcomings?"

"Yes" said a man in the front pew. "I am a spendthrift.

got up on her own for preschool, got dressed, did her hair

(Riley's mother takes turns with other moms taking the
children to preschool and that day another mom was driving.)

When Riley's ride came she left -- without waking her mother.
When her mother woke up and Riley was gone she was
obviously frantic.
She called the school and found out Riley was OK.

That night at dinner her mother said, "Riley, don't ever do
that again. Wake Mommy up when you go to school. I

Riley replied, "Mom, you know me. If anybody would
steal me they would just bring me back right quick!"

Pinellas Park Police say 60-year-old Peter Hans Emery Jr. "was
observied on video camera entering the victim's lock box,
selecting a pill bottle, pouring pills into his hand and then
leaving."

Acetaminophen" actually contained laxatives.

According to the arrest report, Emery admitted that he took both
pills thinking they were hydrocodone, but threw them away once he
realized they were somethign else.

Emery is now facing petit theft and violation of probation on

Re: Adware

Dear DearWebby,
I have run spybot twice.  In fact, about two minutes ago, 
it congratulated me for not harboring threats.  I got on the 
web, and sure enough, crap is still popping up and 
interrupting the stuff I want to read.  Any ideas?  
Lucille

Dear Lucille,
Stuff that you agreed to suffer in lieu of cash, may not be 
removed by Spybot-Search & Destroy.
If you agreed to it, and it was mentioned on page 74 of the 
small print, then automatic programs like Spybot may not 
remove it in a wholesale manner.  That's what the judge said.

Also keep in mind that, whatever you got popping,  might not 
be spyware at all. Just because it is being a nuisance, that 
does not mean it is reporting what size bra you bought on 
eBay or Victoria's Secret.

It could be ad-ware or mal-ware or a virus infection, or it could

be "in lieu of" crap.

Spybot-Search & Destroy goes after spyware. 
That's all. 
It doesn't do laundry or vacuuming or anything else.

Malwarebytes might be able to kill that ad ware, but they too
have to tread very carefully when it comes to wholesale removal
of "in lieu" crap.  Pinko judges side with the poor, hard done by

***holes, who foist that stuff on you.

If Malwarebytes doesn't do it, you will probably have to get some
neighborhood wiz kid to go after it. There ARE programs that 
help in that, but they would just frustrate you and you would 
wind up heaving the computer out the window. Programs like 
"Hijack This!" are effective tools, but only for advanced white-
hat hackers, who have spent serious time reading instructions. 

Have FUN!

My husband and I had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears
repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not
have a "large" enough motor on the opener. I thought for a
minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that
time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you
need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.
He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two." We haven't

Georgia man wanted in 4 Georgia 
murders arrested in Indiana

 Federal authorities have arrested a man wanted in the slayings
of four people and injuring of a man in a pair of shootings in
Georgia. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says 27-year-old
Daylon Delon Gamble was arrested Sunday in Indiana by the US
Marshal's Service. Gamble, who was wanted on four charges of
murder in the shootings Thursday night in Rockmart, about 45
miles northwest of Atlanta, was taken into custody without
incident, according to a GBI news release posted on their
Facebook page.
Authorities say 48-year-old Helen Rose Mitchell and 19-year-old
Jaequnn Davis died at one home, and 24-year-old Arkeyla Perry and
26-year-old Dadrian Cummings died at another home, the AP
reports. The GBI says 24-year-old Peerless Brown was injured at
the home where Mitchell and Davis were killed. Authorities have
not disclosed a motive or Gamble's relationship to the victims,
though they say the killings were not random. The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution reports that Gamble was paroled from state
prison in 2016 after a 2011 conviction for armed robbery and
burglary.

Dear Marilla
click on Start, Run, and type in there
c:\windows\fonts

To confuse you, Windows now opens an old style 
explorer window. Don't let that stop you!
Click on File
In there you see an option called:
Install new fonts
When you click that, you get the option to browse to
the folder where you keep the stuff you get via Skype.
It ignores all other files and just shows you the fonts
that you have in that folder. Highlight the ones you
want to install and hit OK.

That's all there is to it.

of a headache.

Finally his nurse, fearing that the man might be
suffering from some post operation shock, spoke to
the doctor about it.

"Don't worry about a thing, nurse," the doctor
assured her. "He really does have a bump on his head.
About halfway through the operation we ran out of
anesthetic."

and other programs with graphic equalizers, but nothing helps.
Do you have any advice?
Elvira

Dear Ann
Dear Elvira
You can't expect the lower harmonics from those shirt button 
size squeakers. If you want decent music, you have two 
choices: get yourself some good earphones, 
or a cable from the speaker output on the notebook to your home
stereo or a portable boom box. 

Spring cleaning season and garage sales will start soon. You
should be able to find a boom box with big speakers for a bargain
price. Amplified by the boom box and projected from big speakers,
even the tinniest notebook will sound fantastic.

Have FUN!

child. The instructor raised the issue of breaking the news to
the older child. It went like this:

"Some parents," she said, "tell the older child, 'We love you so
much we decided to bring another child into this family.' But
think about that. Ladies, what if your husband came home one day
and said, 'Honey, I love you so much I decided to bring home
another wife.'"

Florida

Fighting deputies over ticket results
in arrests and jail

Three family members who were arrested after a scuffle with
Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies, sparked by a traffic stop of
an all-terrain vehicle rider in West Park, appeared in bond court
to face some serious charges.

Twenty-six-year-old Duewayne Dixon faced Broward Circuit Judge
Joseph A. Murphy III, Monday. He was joined in bond court by his
sister, 37-year-old Francheska Turull, and her husband, 39-year-
old Jessie Hernandez.

According to officials, it all started when deputies pulled over
Dixon along the 3100 block of Southwest 40th Avenue after he was
spotted riding his ATV illegally, Sunday afternoon.

Investigators said they were just going to give Dixon a citation.
Then things got out of hand.

At around 3:20 p.m., Hernandez and Turull arrived at the scene
and engaged in a verbal altercation with deputies.

Neighbors said the couple are Dixon’s sister and her husband.

Cellphone video captured the escalating chain of events, as the
argument gave way to physical violence.

Before the tense takedown, deputies told the couple this was just
going to be a citation for the rider.

“It’s not a big deal. He’s going to get a ticket, bike’s going to
be towed, and he will be able to come back,” said a deputy.

But shortly after, the deputy is seen telling Hernandez to back
up behind a sidewalk line several times.

“I’m telling you, do not come any closer,” a deputy is heard
telling Hernandez, who is himself recording the confrontation on
his smartphone.

“On the sidewalk? Which one? I want to know which line on the
sidewalk I can’t cross,” said Hernandez as he walked closer to
the deputy.

“This line right here. If you cross it, you’re going to jail,”
said the deputy as he pointed to a line.

“This one right here?” said Hernandez as he touched the line with
his right foot.

The deputy is then seen grabbing Hernandez, who tries to wrestle
free, causing the deputy to trip. Two other deputies then grabbed
the suspect.

Turull is then seen coming into the frame and tussling with the
deputy who had fallen down. Moments later, the deputy is seen
striking her.

“Why are you punching her?” a woman is heard yelling off screen
at least three times.

The deputy is seen in the footage hitting Turull repeatedly, even
after she fell.

The same deputy is then seen placing her under arrest, as three
deputies are seen holding down Hernandez.

Meanwhile, Dixon is seen calmly sitting in handcuffs next to his
vehicle, several feet away from his brother-in-law.

Witnesses said what started as a traffic stop spiraled out of
control.

“They shouldn’t have gone to jail. For what reason?” said an area
resident. “Because they were coming down here to see what was
going on with their family member, and that escalated to a whole
different thing. Now, three people went to jail for no reason.”

Hernandez and Turull were charged with battery on a law
enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence.
Turull is facing an additional charge of assault on a law
enforcement officer. 
Dixon was charged with resisting an officer with violence and
illegally operating an off-road vehicle.

The arrests went down as hundreds of riders continued to take
over South Florida roadways as part of the annual “Wheels Up,
Guns Down” protest. Authorities indicated last week that they
would crack down on these holiday weekend activities, stressing
that those riding off-road vehicles on public roads risk arrest
and having their vehicles confiscated.

According to the arrest report, the deputy seen hitting Turull
admitted to striking her but only after he said she struck him
first several times while he was trying to take her into custody.

Turull, Hernandez and Dixon were being held at the Broward County
Jail on a $1,000 bond. They bonded out Monday night.

That is just Telus, your ISP,  turning down your speed when 
you are not busy browsing. The first link you go to is slow, 
after that they crank your speed up closer to what you are 
paying for,

Yelling at them does no good, they just have a bunch of lame 
excuses, and do it anyway. They even do it with expensive 
business accounts.

Not all, but many ISPs do that nowadays.

After many years, Cinderella finally reached the ripe age of 95
years old.

After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince, she now happily
sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her
front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship. One sunny
afternoon out of nowhere, appeared the fairy godmother.

Cinderella says, "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after
all these years"?

The fairy godmother replied, "Cinderella, you have lived an
exemplary life since I last saw you. I'm prepared to grant you
three wishes. Is there anything for which your heart still
yearns?" Cinderella was taken back, overjoyed, and after some
thoughtful consideration, she uttered her first wish:

"The prince was wonderful, but not much of an investor. I'm
living hand to mouth on my disability checks, and I wish I were
wealthy beyond comprehension. Instantly her rocking chair turned
into solid gold. Cinderella said, "Ooh, thank you, Fairy
Godmother"

"It is the least that I can do," replies her Fairy Godmother.
"What do you want for your second wish?"

Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said, "I wish I
were young and full of the beauty and youth I once had."

At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful young visage
returned. Cinderella felt stirrings inside of her that had been
dormant for years.

And then the fairy godmother spoke once more: "You have one more
wish; what shall it be?"

Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and
says, "I wish for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind
and handsome young man."

Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his
biological make-up that, when he stood before her, he was a man
so beautiful the likes of him neither she nor the world had ever
seen.

"Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new life!" And with a
blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the Fairy Godmother was
gone as suddenly as she appeared.

For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella looked into each
other's eyes. Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most
beautiful, stunningly perfect man she had ever seen.

Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her
rocking chair, and held her close in his young muscular arms.

He leaned in close, blowing her golden hair with his warm breath
as he whispered...

"Bet you're sorry you neutered me."

>From the Daily News comes this story of a Walsall couple who 

drove their car to Asda, only to have their car break down in the

car park. The husband told his wife to carry on with the shopping

while he fixed the car. 

The wife returned 
later to see a small group of people near the car. 

On closer inspection, she saw a pair of hairy legs protruding
from under the chassis. 
Unfortunately, although the man was in shorts, his lack of
underpants turned his private parts into glaringly public ones. 

Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward,
quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back
into place. 

On regaining her feet, she looked across the bonnet and found
herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by. 

The RAC mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his
forehead.

A stingy old man who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness
is determined to prove wrong the saying, "You can't take it with
you."

After much thought and consideration, the old miser finally
decides how to take at least some of his money with him when he
goes. He instructs his wife to go to the bank and withdraw enough
money to fill two pillowcases.

Then he tells her to take the bags of money to the attic and
leave them directly above his bed. He tells her that when he
goes, he'll just reach out and grab the bags on his way to
Heaven.

Several weeks after the funeral, the widow is up in the attic
cleaning and comes upon the two forgotten pillowcases stuffed
with cash.

"Oh, that old fool," she exclaims. "I knew he should have had me
put the money in the basement."

A married Irishman went into the confessional and said to his
priest,
"I almost had an affair with another woman."

The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"

The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together,
but then I stopped."

The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in.
You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five
Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box."

The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then
walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then
started to leave. The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over
to him saying, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor
box!"

The Irishman replied, "aye Father, but I rubbed the $50 on the
box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!"

Florida woman busted for dancing naked 
outside waffle house, licking man's face

A half-naked Florida Woman was arrested early Monday after she
pulled down her pants and began dancing around in the parking lot
of a Waffle House in  Pensacola.  

Before her performance ended, cops report, Freedom Ryder Zobrist,
38, sought to grab the genitals of a restaurant manager before
licking the man on both sides of his face.

When Zobrist was first asked to leave the Waffle House property,
she became verbally abusive and allegedly threatened to “retrieve
a firearm” and shoot workers and restaurant patrons.

Pictured above, Zobrist declined to answer police questions. Cops
reported that witnesses told them Zobrist had “pulled down her
pants exposing her sexual organs and started dancing around the
parking lot.”

Zobrist was charged with multiple crimes, including assault and
lewd and indecent exposure. She is being held in the Escambia
County jail in lieu of $800 bond.

Upon Zobrist’s release from custody, a judge has ordered her to
stay away from Waffle House and barred her from using alcohol and
unprescribed drugs.

Re: Partial mails

Dear DearWebby,
I am not getting the body of the articles. I am only getting 
what you see below. I was getting everything and then all 
of a sudden this happens. Do you have any suggestions??
 Thanks,
 Duane

Dear Duane
Your subject line was:
Subject: Re: {Spam?} Re: {Spam?} {Disarmed} Humor: 

That makes it very clear that the problem is your mis-configured 
spam control. 
Try using a better spam control, like for example 
MailWasher.
I have used it since it was in Beta testing in the mid 90's,and
it has never screwed up like that.

Since I use the same email addresses since the early 90's, my
addresses are on every single spammer's CD and get an awful lot
of spam. I don't care. MailWasher nukes it all on the server,
does not even list it. It recognizes spam and quietly lets it fly
down to hell. 

It is really easy to make filters, both good and bad filters to
protect good mail, no matter what is in it, and to nuke bad mail.
Making filters actually becomes a fun game to outsmart the
spammers. And with MailWasher, you always win.

Have FUN!

on the city's airport property. 

It is illegal for hens to lay eggs before 8 a.m. and after 4 p.m.

in Norfolk, Virginia. 

Ducks quacking after 10 p.m. in Essex Falls, New Jersey, 
are breaking the law. 

In Quitman, Georgia, it is against the law for a chicken to cross

any road within the city limits. 

In McDonald, Ohio, farmers cannot march a goose down a

There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:  
1. He called everyone brother,  
2. He liked Gospel, 
3. He didn't get a fair trial.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was
Jewish: 
1. He went into His father's business,  
2. He lived at home until he was 33,  
3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He
was God.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was
Italian:  
1. He talked with His hands,  
2. He had wine with His meals,  
3. He used olive oil.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a
Californian:  
1. He never cut His hair,  
2. He walked around barefoot all the time, 
3. He started a new religion.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an
American Indian:  
1. He was at peace with nature,  
2. He ate a lot of fish,  
3. He talked about the Great Spirit.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was
Irish:  1. He never got married,   
2. He was always telling stories,  
3. He loved green pastures.

But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was
a woman:  
1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was virtually
no food,  
2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men
who just didn't get it,  
3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was
still work to do!

Mary was married to a male chauvinist.  They both worked full
time, but he never did anything around the house and certainly
not any housework. 
That, he declared, was woman's work.

But one evening Mary arrived home from work to find the children
bathed, a load of wash in the washing machine and another in the
dryer, dinner on the stove and a beautifully set table, complete
with flowers.

She was astonished, and she immediately wanted to know what was
going on. It turned out that Charley, her husband, had read an
on-line article that suggested working wives would be more
romantically inclined if they weren't so tired from having to do
all the housework in addition to holding down a full-time job.

The next day, she couldn't wait to tell her friends in the
office. "How did it work out?" they asked.

"Well, it was a great dinner," Mary said.  "Charley even cleaned
up, helped the kids with their homework, folded the laundry and
put everything away."

"But what about afterward?" her friends wanted to know.

"It didn't work out," Mary said.  "Charley was too tired!"

Don't eat chicken sandwiches, no matter what..... 

A  little boy and a little girl attended the same school 
and became friends. Every day they would sit  together 
to eat their lunch. They discovered that they both 
brought chicken  sandwiches every day!  This went 
on all through the fourth and fifth grades, until one day 
he noticed that her sandwich wasn't a chicken sandwich.
He said, 'Hey, how come you're not eating  chicken, 
don't you like it anymore?' 
She said 'I love it but I have to stop eating  it' 

'Why?' he  asked. 
She  pointed to her lap and said 'Cause I'm starting to 
grow little feathers  down there!' 
'Let me see' he said.
'Okay' and she pulled up her  skirt. 
He looked and said, 'That's right. You are!   Better  
not eat any more chicken.' 

He kept eating his chicken  sandwiches until one day 
he brought peanut butter.  He said yo the little gir l, 
'I  have to stop eating chicken sandwiches, I'm starting 
to get feathers down there too!'  

She asked if she could look, so he pulled down his 
pants for her.

She said   
'Oh,  my God,  it's too late for you! You've already got the 
NECK and GIBBLETS!!!'

It was the day of the big sale. Rumors of the sale and an
advertisement on the net were the main reasons for the long
line that formed in front of the store by 8:30, the store's
opening time.

A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be
pushed back amid loud and colorful curses. On the man's second
attempt, he was punched square in the jaw and knocked around a
bit, then thrown to the end of the line again. 

As he got up the second time, he said to the person at the end of
the line:
"That does it! If they hit me one more time, I won't open the
store!"

Crack and BJ in intersection

-While stopped at a red light Tuesday afternoon, a New Hampshire
motorist was living his best life, smoking crack cocaine and
being fellated by a  woman in the passenger seat, police report.

Manchester Police Department detectives spotted Michael Douville,
51, behind the wheel of a Chrysler 300 stopped at an
intersection. Douville, a Nashua resident, was engaged
in...illegal acts  at the time, cops allege.

When two detectives approached the vehicle and identified
themselves, Douville sped off. He was subsequently apprehended by
a third cop. His passenger, however,  fled the area and was not
located,  investigators say.

Seen above, Douville was arrested on several charges, including
lewdness, narcotics possession, and disobeying a police officer.

Re: Tube for Microscope

Dear DearWebby,
You mentioned the need for a tube between microscope and camera,
but did not tell us how long that has to be.
Bezon

Dear Bezon
Just hold the camera so that it looks into the microscope.
Move it up and down until you see a clean picture on the camera.
That distance is probably from 3/4 inch to 2 inches, depending on
your microscope.

Ideal is of course a camera, that lets you connect to the
computer and view on the monitor what the picture looks like.

You don't have to be perfect with the extension tube since you
can raise or lower the ocular (eye piece) with the fine
adjustment on the microscope.

Once you get a clear picture of a sugar crystal, try it with a
small drop of blood, like you get when poking your finger for a
diabetic lucose test. The picture you will see on the monitor
will probably freak you out. It looks like some aliencreatures
having a space war. Yep, that's what is  going on in your blood!

If you see that, then you got the tube exactly right.

You might also want to make a cradle with coat hanger wire, so
that you can just lay the camera into the cradle and it is
looking straight into the ocular.

Have FUN!

A man was sued by a woman for defamation of character. She 
charged that he had called her a pig. The man was found guilty 
and fined.

After the sentencing he asked the judge, "This means that I

The judge said that was true.

"Does this mean I cannot call a pig Mrs. Johnson?" the man asked.

The judge replied that he could indeed call a pig Mrs. Johnson

The man looked directly at Mrs. Johnson and said,

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Robert Eddington,
24,
Volusia County,
Florida

Florida man went to beat, pepper-sprayed 
his mother ‘because she is a narcissist'

A 24-year-old Florida man told police that he beat his mom,
pepper-sprayed her and tried to zip tie her hands “because she
was a narcissist.”

Robert Eddington’s mother said that when she invited him over for
lunch on Monday he showed up to her home in Volusia County with a
knife, pepper spray and a zip tie.

Police said Eddington then attacked his mother, leaving her
seriously injured. During the attack, Eddington allegedly punched
her in the head, slammed her head into a window and pepper-
sprayed her in the face.

Pictures of the victim show her eyes swollen shut, missing teeth
and a head injury.

Eddington told police it was “because she needed to be roughed up
enough for the police to be called.”

Eddington’s mother said her son is bipolar and has not been
taking his medicine.

A judge on Tuesday ordered Eddington held without bond until
further notice.

eye) and the monitor. Don't go for an expensive microscope
with a very high magnification number. Go for one with a 
wider field of view.

The second thing to watch out for is lighting. 
Sure, electronic cameras go very far into the dark infrared,
but picture quality deteriorates. Usualy, the more light you 
have, the better picture you get. Chose a microscope that
allows both through-light and reflected light or a combination 
of the two. Generally, the more room you have to adapt and 
improvise with the lighting, the better.

And finally, you need an adapter tube between the microscope
and the camera. Hold the camera by hand and find the ideal
distance. 

Cut some black plastic pipe to that length with a pipe cutter.
Do NOT use a hacksaw!  Dull the pipe inside and out with very 
fine sandpaper, then clean it thoroughly with a damp or wet rag. 

Clean the lenses perfectly clean with damp lenscloth. Do a
VERY good job on that, because it is the last time you will
ever have to do that.

Assemble the microscope, tube and camera and hold them 
together with a rubber band. 
Test it.
If everyting works OK, use some hotmelt glue or silicone to
permanently attach the tube to the microscope and the camera.

Have FUN!

As I drove into a parking lot, I noticed that a pickup truck 
with a dog sitting behind the wheel was rolling toward a 
female pedestrian. 

She seemed oblivious, so I hit my horn to get her attention. 
She looked up just in time to jump out of the way of the 
truck's path, and the vehicle bumped harmlessly into the curb 
and stopped. 

I rushed to the woman's side to see if she was all right. 
"I'm fine," she assured me, "but I hate to think what could 
have happened to me if that dog hadn't honked."

A Priest, a Minister and a Rabbi from one city were taking a car
ride to a conference on world religions. On the highway they were
in an accident.

First the Priest steps out, makes the sign of the cross and says,

"Oh, God, thank you for letting us survive."

Then the Minister crosses himself and says, "Thank you dear Lord
for protecting us."

Finally the Rabbi steps out and likewise makes the sign of the
cross. The Priest and Minister look at each other.

Baffled, the Minister says, "We thought you didn't believe in

The blind farmer was often taken for a walk in the fields by a
kind neighbor.

However kindly the neighbor might have been, he was
undoubtedly a coward. When a bull charged towards them
one day, he abandoned the blind man.

The bull, puzzled by a lack of fear, nudged the farmer in the
back. He turned very quickly, caught the bull by the horns and
threw it to the ground with a bump that left it breathless.

"Aidan," said the neighbor, "I never knew you were so strong."

"Faith, and if I could have got that fella off the handlebars of
the bicycle I'd have thrashed him properly."

Florida man arrested after baby overdoses 
on heroin and Xanax

A South Florida man was arrested for child neglect after an 11-
month-old child ingested his heroin and Xanax pills on Tuesday.

Deputies responded to Bethesda Hospital East on Tuesday regarding
an infant who had ingested drugs.

The child's mother said that she and 33-year-old Christopher
Hartley were both drug addicts and were both in recovery for
several years.

She says approximately 6 months ago Hartley relapsed and has been
using various drugs.

On Tuesday, Hartley informed the mother that the child found his
Xanax and heroin pills and ingested them.

Hartley made an attempt to get the child to vomit the pills back
up.

The child's mother says he was lethargic and his breathing was
slowed when she called 911.

Hartley told deputies that he had heroin pills and a half of a
Xanax pill wrapped inside tissue paper.

He saw the child eating the tissue paper and found pills inside
the child's mouth.

Hartley says he put his fingers inside the child's mouth and
removed 4 heroin pills.

The child's condition is unknown.

Hartley's relationship to the child is redacted from the arrest
report.

install all the others.
With Libre you get the works, and  can delete not needed parts

If you are installing on a small camera chip, get Open Office. If

Drunken Eagles fan puts dog in microwave, 
attacks her girlfriend

A drunken Eagles fan is accused of physically attacking her
girlfriend and putting her girlfriend’s dog in a hotel microwave
after the Eagles lost in the playoffs.

Police say Kirsten J. Gaskins , 31, had been drinking and was
upset about her team’s loss when she allegedly began yelling at
her girlfriend, knocked the woman the down, climbed on top of her
and started to hit her in the face, according to The Morning
Call.

The girlfriend, who wasn’t identified, was reportedly able to
escape by scratching Gaskins in the face but as she went to flee
the room, police said Gaskins allegedly threatened to kill her
dog if she left the room.

When police arrived at the Hanover Township hotel, where the
couple had been staying, they found the white Pomeranian stuffed
into a small microwave. The microwave had not been turned on and
the dog was not harmed.

Officers also reported that the woman’s girlfriend had blood on
her left ear and cuts on her nose and cheek indicating a fight
had taken place, the paper reports.

Gaskins initially fled the scene but returned after officers
arrived and told her girlfriend the pair were leaving.

"When Gaskins returned to the hotel room, she continued to be
aggressive and (loudly) cursing at police and the victim," a
press release obtained by Oxygen.com said.

Officers arrested her and charged her with simple assault,
harassment, cruelty to animals and possession of drug
paraphernalia.

She has since been released on a $20,000 bail.

Gaskins has denied the allegations against her telling local
station WCAU that the incident was not related to the football
game. She also claimed that she had not put the dog into the
microwave.

Just get OpenOffice or office Libre.

They have a PowerPoint viewer in it that shows you the thumbnails

on the side, and the big pictures in the center. Or you can hit
F5 and enjoy the show running on it's own.

You can save the individual pictures, and even edit captions and 
make your own slide show.

The only real difference I found between Open and Libre is that
with Opne Office you can, if you want, just install Writer or
Calc or Impress, whereas with Libre office, you get the whole
apple cart. 
If you are short on space, use Open Office.

One of the world's most famous merchant captains died, having

admired by his crew and fellow officers.
They remained puzzled, however, over a strange ritual he
performed daily.
While at sea he would lock himself in his cabin and open a small
safe, take
out an envelope with a note inside and read it.
After locking the paper back in the safe, he would return to his
duties.

For years this went on, and his crew became very curious.  Was it
a treasure
map?  Was it a letter from a long lost love?  Everyone speculated
about the
contents of the strange envelope.

After laying the captain's body to rest, the first mate led the
entire crew
back to the ship and into the captain's quarters.  He opened the
safe, got
the envelope and read the words aloud to an astonished crew:

'When standing on the bridge

Good Morning, !
Today is Monday, January 21

Yesterday, Sunday, the phone lines, and Internet were down here
from before 9 am.
Telus malfunction.
I walked to Copper's home and Barb called the silly nits,
who are paid by the minute, that they can keep a victim on the
phone. Calling the number, to see if a drunk had knocked over a
phone pole, was of course too technical for them. 

After an hour of arguing, when Barb's phone battery -and
patience-was running down, they agreed to send a tech tomorrow,
Monday.

I told them via Barb's phone repeatedly that my phone has no dial
tone and the phone says "NO LINE". Medium smart onions would
realize that that indicates a knocked over phone pole.

So Monday they are going to send a tech. He is going to plug in
his phone and say: "Duh, looks like you got no line."

That's what I have been saying all along, Einstump!

Well, your newsletter is all written and ready to send whenever
they can get the line fixed.

>From Myrna
Dear Webby,
a few years ago you had that classic bricklayer's
compensation board letter. Do you still have it?
Can you print it again, please?
Thanks
Myrna

Sure, Myrna, here it is. It must be an all time favorite,
because I remember requests for it, when the Humor
Letter was still in fax format, before the Internet.

Dear Sir:
"I am writing in response to your request for
additional information in Block 3 of the accident
report form. I put "poor planning" as the cause of  my
accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I
trust the following  details will be sufficient.

I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident,
I was working alone on the roof of a new six story
building. When I completed my work,  found that I had
some bricks left over which, when weighed later were
found to be slightly in excess of 500 lbs. Rather than
carry the  bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them
in a barrel by using a  pulley,which was attached to
the side of the building on the sixth  floor. Securing
the rope at ground level, I went up to the  roof, swung
the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I
went  down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to
ensure a slow  descent of the bricks.

You will note in Block 11 of the accident report form
that I weigh 135 lbs. Due to my surprise at being
jerked off the ground  so suddenly, I lost my presence
of mind and forgot to let go of the rope.  Needless to
say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the
building.  In the vicinity of the third floor, I met
the barrel which was now  proceeding downward at an
equal, impressive speed. This explained the fractured
skull, minor abrasions and the broken collar bone, as
listed in  section 3 of the accident report form.
Slowed only slightly, I  continued my rapid ascent, not
stopping until the fingers of my  right hand were two
knuckles deep into the pulley.  Fortunately by this
time I had regained my  presence of mind and was able
to hold tightly to the  rope, in spite of beginning to
experience a great deal of pain.

At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of
bricks hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the
barrel. Now  devoid of the weight of the bricks, that
barrel weighed approximately 50  lbs. I refer you again
to my weight. As you can imagine, I began a  rapid
descent, down the side of the building. In the vicinity
of the third  floor, I met the barrel coming up. This
accounts for the two fractured  ankles, broken tooth
and several lacerations of my legs and lower body.

Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter
with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my
injuries when I fell  into the pile of bricks and
fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked. I  am
sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile of
bricks, in  pain, unable to move, I again lost my
composure and presence of mind and let  go of the rope
and I lay there watching the empty barrel begin its
journey  back down onto me. This explains the two
broken legs.

I hope this answers your inquiry."

The horses did not like him, knocked him ass over teakettle and
then chased the suspect until he jumped a nearby fence and was
captured by K-9 deputies waiting there.

The only safe way to do that is by following the advice of Intel

A crumbling old church building needed
remodeling, so, during his sermon, the
preacher made an impassioned appeal
looking directly at the richest man in town.

At the end of the sermon, the rich man
stood up and announced, "Pastor, I will
contribute $1000."

Just then, plaster fell from the ceiling
and struck the rich man on the shoulder.

He promptly stood back up and shouted,
"Pastor, I will increase my donation to
$5000."

Before he could sit back down, plaster
fell on him again, and this time he
virtually screamed, "Pastor, I will
double my last pledge."

He sat down, and a larger chunk of plaster
fell on his head.

He stood up once more and hollered, "Pastor,
I will give $20,000!"

This prompted a deacon to shout, "Hit him
again, Lord! Hit him again!"

Most memorable Alias in Floriduh

When police in Largo, Florida, arrested Jeffrey Forrest Poole on
charges of violently resisting a police officer, the authorities
made sure to list things like his age, weight and address in his
arrest report.

Officers also included an alias that Poole has allegedly used in
the past ? and it’s pretty awesome, as well as NSFW.

But more on that later.

Police were called to the 37-year-old suspect’s home on a
reported domestic disturbance early Sunday morning.

When the officer arrived, according to the criminal complaint,
Poole exited his home and said, “I will beat every cop’s ass!” 

Then Poole “raised his right fist and began to extend it towards
my face in an attempt to strike me,” the arresting officer wrote,
according to The Smoking Gun.

Since Poole was arrested and taken to the Pinellas County Jail,
it is highly unlikely he made good on his ass-kicking promise.

Poole was charged with assaulting a police officer and violently
resisting a police officer. He remains behind bars in lieu of
$5,150 bail.

What makes this case interesting beyond Pinellas County is one
tiny detail: The criminal alias Poole has previously used, one
“Dickface Johnson.”

That name showed up because Poole was either asked if he had any
alias or a record on file under that name, according to
Brobible.com.

It still seems to work in everything, mail, spreadsheets, word

I realize that now it is not free, but it has never bugged me
about renewing. Seems to be a lifetime thing. So I have not
checked what is new in that field.

The browser based spell checkers are each just good for that
particular browser. If you use Chrome, get that one. If you use
FireFox, get that one.
If you use many different browsers, get the add-in for each of
them.

The browser based spell checkers won't help you in other
applications like email or spreadsheets or word processors, but
will work nicely in that particular browser.

Have FUN!

When he finally arrived in Texas, he decided to

He exclaimed, "Wow these mugs are big!" The
bartender replied, "Everything is big  in Texas."

After a couple of beers, the drunk asked the

bartender replied, "Second door to the right." 

John headed for the bathroom, but accidentally
tripped over and skipped  the second door. Instead, he
entered the third door, which lead to the  swimming

PLEASE, don't flush!"

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Thriftyfun.com
Surge Protector or Just a Power Strip
It's a good idea to plug your computer into a power strip 
that has a surge protector in it. Not all power strips have 
this feature. If your power strip doesn't state that it has 
a surge protector it probably does not and you should 
upgrade to help protect your expensive electronics. 

Thriftyfun.com
If you believe in election promises and
advertising, that is good advice. 

Just because a power bar claims to have a surge protector,
that does not mean it has an effective surge protector. A
light-weight no-name brand power bar for $2.95 - $19.95
just has a token suppressor chip that may suicide from the
surge caused by turning a big monitor on. It will just be a
handy power bar from then on, without telling you that it
no longer even detects surges.

In the class between $19.95 and $49.95 they indicate with
a flickering light that they are just a dumb power bar now.

In the heavier, above $50 class there are heavy coils and
capacitors, and often even a battery that will smooth over
short outages and flickers.

Without getting into technical details, usually the heavier
a power bar is, the more likely it has effective surge
protection.

 While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room
 of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his
 full name.

 Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same
 name had been in my high school class some 40 years ago!!

 Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.
 This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was too
 old to have been MY classmate.

 After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended
 the local high school.

 "Yes!" he replied.

 "When did you graduate?" I asked.

 He answered, "In 1944."

 "Why, you were in my class!"  I exclaimed.

 He looked at me closely, and then asked, 
 "What did you teach?"

 He died on the way to the hospital.

As my five-year-old son and I were headed to McDonald's one   
day, we passed a car accident. Usually when we see something   
terrible like that, we say a prayer for those who might be   
hurt, so I pointed and said to my son, "We should pray."   

From the back seat I heard his earnest request: "Please,   
God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's."

Re: What is the advantage of PayPal

Dear DearWebby,
What is the advantage of having Pay Pal and how do I get it if I
were 
interested Please help!!
   Thank you,
Robert.

Dear Robert
PayPal is like a 2-way debit card.
You can receive money just as easily as spending money.

For example, if you find that you have more stuff to get rid 
off from the spring cleaning than you have garbage bag 
allowance, you sell some of the stuff on eBay. Somebody 
is bound to want that stuff.
They pay you via PayPal and stock up your PayPal account.

When you buy something over the net, for example web hosting, 
you use your PayPal account to pay for it. If you buy something 
major, you can stock your account by dragging funds from your 
bank account onto it. The same also works when you have too 
much in the PayPal account and not enough in your checking 
account. You simply drag some money from PayPal to your 
bank account.

You can view and print your PayPal account any time you want, 
without statement fees like your bank charges.

It works quite well and I have never had a problem with PayPal. 
99.5% of Webby clients pay with PayPal and appreciate the 
convenience.

To get an account, just go to http://paypal.com

By the way, if a company does not accept PayPal, then watch out.
PayPal does not block companies or people for no reason.

Have FUN!

On a balmy day in the South Pacific, a navy ship spied smoke
coming from one of three huts on an island they thought was
deserted.  Upon arriving at the shore they were met by a
"survivor."  He said, "I'm so glad you're here!  I've been alone
on this island for more than three years!"

The captain of the ship replied, "But we saw THREE huts."

The survivor said, "Oh.  Well, I live in one, and go to church in
another."

"What about the THIRD hut?" asked the captain.

"That's where I USED to go to church."

What Is Easter?
Three cheerleaders died in an accident trying to jump the Grand 
Canyon. They are at the pearly gates of Heaven. St. Peter tells 
them that they can enter the gates only if they can answer one 
simple religious question.
The question posed by St. Peter is - "What is Easter"?

The first cheerleader replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday
in November when we all get together, eat turkey and are
thankful." 

"Wrong!, you are not welcome here, I'm afraid. You must go to 
the other place!" replies St.Peter.

Then he turns to the second cheerleader, and asks her the same 
question - "What is Easter?"

The second cheerleader replies, "Easter is the holiday in
December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and
celebrate the birth of Jesus."

St. Peter looks at the second cheerleader, bangs his head on the 
pearly gates in disgust and tells her she's wrong and will have
to 
join her friend in the other place; she is not welcome in Heaven.

He then peers over his glasses at the third cheerleader and asks,

"Do YOU know what Easter is?"

The third cheerleader smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in
the eyes, "I know what Easter is."

"Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously.

"Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish 
celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at 
the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over 
to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him 
to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a 
crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his 
hands and feet. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed
off by a large boulder."

St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.

Then the third cheerleader continues ...
"Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come 
out and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks 
of hockey!"

A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to 
preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand 
my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17." 

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his 
sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands.
He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. 

Every hand went up.

The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only 16 chapters. 
I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying."

baby shouted to the other, "Are you a little girl
or a little boy?"

"I don't know," replied the other baby giggling.

"What do you mean, you don't know?" said the
first baby.

"I mean I don't know how to tell the difference,"
was the reply.

"Well, I do," said the first baby chuckling. "I'll
climb into your crib and find out." He carefully
maneuvered himself into the other baby's crib,
then quickly disappeared beneath the blankets.
After a couple of minutes, he resurfaced with
a big grin on his face. "You're a little girl, and
I'm a little boy," he said proudly.

"You're ever so clever," cooed the baby girl,
"but how can you tell?"

"It's quite easy, really," replied the proud baby boy,
"you've got pink booties and I've got blue ones."

In his Sunday sermon, the minister used "Forgive Your 
Enemies" as his subject. After the sermon, he asked how
many were willing to forgive their enemies. About half held 
up their hands.

Not satisfied, he harangued the congregation for another 
twenty minutes and repeated his question. This received a 
response of eighty percent. Still unsatisfied, he lectured for
fifteen more minutes and repeated his question. 

All responded except one elderly gentleman in the rear.

"Mr. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?" 

"I don't have any." 

"Mr. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?" 

"One hundred and one". 

"Mr. Jones, please come down in front and tell the 
congregation how a man can live to be one hundred and 
one and not have an enemy in the world."

The old man teetered down the aisle, slowly turned to

Woman smashed way into station looking 
for cop she was sexually harassing

A Pennsylvania woman was caught on surveillance cameras busting
her way into a small-town police station looking for the police
officer she’s been sexually harassing since he arrested her last
May, police officials said. 

Ashley Kristen Keister, 28, of Nanticoke, was booked Monday on
charges of aggravated assault on a police officer, harassment by
communicating lewd or threatening language, two counts of
criminal mischief, two counts of institutional vandalism,
loitering and prowling at night, disorderly conduct and burglary,
according to court records. She is being held in the Luzerne
County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond.

Re: Eudora and FireFox

Dear DearWebby,
I see Eudora has a free download.  But does it cost anything to
use or to have just a personal account?  

I hate Chrome and Google (which I think are the same or closely
connected) but Firefox suits me fine.  

Is Eudora compatible with Firefox?  
Janice

Dear Janice
Eudora is free.
It is a self sufficient, independent program and does not need
ANY browser. I remember it was working just fine long before
Microsoft copied Netscape and created Internet Explorer. There
used to be a hot religious war between Netscape users and
Microsoft Internet Explorer users.

It made no difference to Eudora users. 

If Eudora is too Industrial looking for you, you can get
ThunderBird. It is based on the Eudora core, but has all the
corners rounded off and colored nicely.

Millions of former Eudora users now use Thunderbird, because
Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 does not mesh with Eudora very well.
For example clicking on an email address in Excel SHOULD open a
new mail in Eudora with that address already in the TO line.
Unfortunately, Windows is a bit unreliable about that.
With Thunderbird there is no problem with that.

morning they took off to the lake. 
They had not been there very long when the fish began biting. 

Almost as fast as they cast, a fish would bite, and they reeled 
it in. After catching their limit, Bubba said, "Verna Lou, sweet

you with me the next time. If you'll mark the spot where we 
caught all these fish, we'll go home."

One criminal who was accused of several murders and 
robbery was sentenced to death by the judge of the court. 
It was decided that the criminal will be shot in front of a 
firing squad on a particular day.

On that very day, the weather was very foul. It rained cats 
and dogs. There was no sufficient light to see anything 
clearly. But duty is duty so the captain of the squad along 
with his five soldiers took the criminal and started walking 
to the spot.

On the way the criminal told the Captain, "See,what a weather! 
I am not afraid of death, but this day is not suitable for dying.

What do you think?"

"Truly, the weather is very foul", the Captain replied, 
"But you are fortunate as you are only going one way, just 
think of our condition! We have to go all the way back!".

Texas

Father charged with beating toddler, 
gluing mouth, eyes shut

A father suspected of gluing shut the eyes and mouth of his 1-
year-old daughter has been arrested in West Texas.

El Paso County records show 29-year-old Johnnie Lee Carter is
being held Wednesday on a charge of injury to a child causing
serious bodily injury.

On Sept. 16, Odessa police called to a domestic disturbance found
the girl with facial injuries and her mouth and eyes glued.
According to an affidavit, the toddler’s mother told police that
Carter choked and punched the girl then applied adhesive. A super
glue stick was found nearby. Carter had fled.

According to Dallas News, an arrest affidavit also showed that
Carter had stuffed a 2-month-old infant underneath a pile of
pillows and blankets.

Carter was arrested Monday at a motel in El Paso by U.S. Marshals
after being on the run for 10 days. He faces extradition to
Odessa, some 270 miles away.

Re: New Yahoo mail rigamarole

Dear DearWebby,
In case anyone else runs into this problem with the "new
improved" Yahoo.  It took a while but I finally figured it out.
I am definitely not a computer guru like you.  I have been
working with this "new and improved" Yahoo since the first of the
year.  

The email that I enjoy had been going directly to "trash".  I
went in opened it and read it before I did anything as I hate to
miss your information.  That was unnecessary but I wanted to be
sure.  I found the "Spam" notation which I had not seen before.
So I marked it "Spam".  It went into the "Spam" folder.  I went
into the "Spam" folder found the "Not Spam" button and clicked
it.   It went into the "Inbox".  I proceded normally after that. 
(Hopefully, it will continue going to the "Inbox".)

I understand why Yahoo is such a mess, too many gurus working on
it.  It is a pain in the toucus to figure out, but it does keep
the old brain cells active.  Maybe that is why I like it.  

Keep up the good work educating.  We need more good honest people
helping.  Thank goodness we have you.  

Sincerely,
Janice

Dear Janice
I tried Yahoo mail, once, briefly, in 1995, for about one day.
Compared to Eudora, which I have been using since about 1992,
Yahoo mail was simply not good enough.

I do have a Yahoo account because some news groups require one to
get access. However, that is the extent of my involvement with
Yahoo, aside from cussing at it whenever they censor mail.

As you probably know, I am one of the originators of Internet
Postcards. At the hayday of postcards there were about half a
million cards sent through our servers on an average day, and
totally insane numbers on Valentines Day and Mothers Day.
With Yahoo censoring cards because Valentines Day Cupids showed
bare naked elbows, and because the cards overloaded Yahoo, I used
to get horrific amounts of complaints from yahoos.

They eased off a bit with the censoring when AliBaba bought Yahoo
and then dumped it off on Verizon for about the same amount as
what the Southern Wall will cost, but there is still way too much
censoring going on. 

Every week a subscriber or two of the Humor letter complains that
Yahoo or SBCglobal has stolen their subscription.
You can see that I am most definitely not a fan of Yahoo.

So I am just pasting your letter as is.

Have FUN!

The new librarian decided that, instead of checking out
children's books 
by writing the names of borrowers on the book cards herself, she
would have the youngsters sign their own names.  She would then
tell them that they were signing a "contract" for returning the
books on time. 

Her first customer was a second grader, who looked surprised to
see a new librarian. He brought four books to the desk and shoved
them across to the librarian, giving her his name as he did so. 

The librarian pushed the books back and told him to sign them
out. The boy laboriously printed his name on each book card and,
with a look of utter disgust on his face, handed them to the
librarian. 

Before the librarian could even start her speech, the boy said, 
disdainfully, "That other librarian we had could write."

Ending his sermon, a preacher announced that he would preach 
on Noah and the Ark on the following Sunday, and gave the 
scriptural reference for the congregation to read ahead of time. 

A couple of boys noticed something interesting about the 
placement of the story in the Bible.  They slipped into the 
church and glued two pages of the pulpit Bible together. 

The next Sunday, the preacher got up to read his text. 
"Noah took unto himself a wife," he began, "and she was" 
- he turned the page to continue - "three hundred cubits long, 
fifty wide and thirty high." 

He paused, scratched his head, turned the page back, read it 
silently, and turned the page again.  Then he looked up at his 
congregation and said, "I've been reading this old Bible for 
near fifty years, but....this seems to require further study."

"What is three times seven?"

"Twenty-two," Rick replied. After he left, he double-checked
it on his calculator (he *knew* he should have taken it to
the interview!) and realized he wouldn't get the job.

About two weeks later, Rick got a letter that said he was
hired for the job! He was not one to look a gift horse in

went in and asked why he got the job, even though he got

said she put her baby in a backyard freezer on someone else's
property.

According to WJHL-TV, Brittany C. Smith, 19, of Johnson City, was
arrested Jan. 3 after a resident saw her with the baby near the
outdoor freezer, authorities said. Witnesses said they found
Smith alone in a crawlspace and the 8-month-old in the freezer,
which had a closed lid and "about an inch of water in the
bottom," the news station reported.

The condition of the baby, who was hospitalized, was not
immediately known, WJHL reported.

Smith was charged with child abuse and neglect, burglary and a
probation violation, according to the Washington County Sheriff's

Re: MS Office Requirement in school

Dear DearWebby,
At my daughter's school they are requiring kids to buy or rent
Microsoft Office and claim that industry and commerce use MS
Office and not "hundreds of different wannabe programs".
Obviously she has been bribed by the local MS seller and has no
clue about reality. At the place I work, for example, we have
used Office Libre for years. It works just fine, and I don't give
hiring preferences to people, who are limited to MS Office.
I prefer people, who can get the work done and who don't waste
time whining about poor Microsoft.

What do you think I should do about my daughter?
Rea

Dear Rea
You can make a stink in the local paper. Most likely a lot of
parents will feel the same as you.

You can also tell your daughter to just save her work in
Microsoft format. She can do the work in Libre format and then
save it as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, etc.
That way she learns in the way industry and commerce works, but
to her teacher it looks as if she had paid for Microsoft office.

Have FUN!

Thanks to Vicky for this story:
I had run across the term cyber sex a few times lately,
so I decided to try to figure out what it meant.  I figured
it had something to do with the computer, so I tried to
find the sex drive on mine.

I looked everywhere, in all the folders on My Computer,
the Add/Uninstall software, install hardware part of the
control panel, then I got out all the manuals and went
through them.

I finally came to the conclusion that my computer is not
equipped with one.

So I decided to go to the computer store to see if I
could buy one.

Well, the salesperson in the first store was a rather stern
looking woman.  I gave her the make and model of my
computer and asked her if she had any sex drives in stock.
She kinda scowled at me and asked if I was trying to get
smart with her.  Then she said, rather rudely I thought,
that she could not help me and walked away.

Huh, must not have had any in stock.

In the second store, the salesguy kind of sniggered and
asked if I meant a hard drive.  I thought about it for a
minute and told him, 'Yeah, maybe that, but I think I
already have one installed'.  He started laughing and
said something about me killing him. 'You're killing me'
-- like that, and walked away.

Hmmm, must be out of stock here, too.

The guy in the third store laughed and asked me if I'd
fallen off the turnip truck.  I assured him I'd never
been on a turnip truck but I had fallen off the wagon
a few times.  He said that explains it and walked away
laughing.

The guy in the fourth store said something like 'idiot'
under his breath and walked away.

Anyway, I figured they must not carry them in stores,
maybe I have to order from a catalogue or something.

That's where I am now.

So, if any of you have some computer skills and could
help me locate my sex drive, I would appreciate it.

2 women arrested after stealing 
during ‘Shop with a Cop’ event

Police have arrested two women accused of stealing from a
Michigan department store with officers just feet away.

Keego Harbor Police said officers from four different departments
were participating in a Shop with a Cop event at a Target, where
they took 22 disadvantaged people Christmas shopping.

However, while they were shopping, officers said, they were
notified that two women were accused of trying to steal $1,900 in
electronics.

“The loss prevention (officers) actually apprehended them, then
they asked for police assistance,” Sylvan Lake Police Sgt.
Michael Mondeau told the Detroit Free Press. “The police officers
were only about 20 feet away when they tried to walk out of the
store.”

Officers arrested the two women, identified as 40-year-old Keiana
Wilson and 18-year-old Dana Johnson.

The two women appeared in court and bond was set at $250,000 for
Johnson and $20,000 for Wilson

Dear DearWebby,

Ron

Dear William
Dear Ron
yes, sure! It goes even further than WORD.
You can make PDF files without having to shell out big bucks
for Adobe.

You can even pick up an MS-WORD doc,
open it with OpenOffice and save it as a PDF file.
Not everybody is stuck in the MS-Mud !

With more and more companies upgrading from MS-Office
to Open Office or Star Office (Open office + Support  package
provided by SUN), the schools are again at the same spot
where they were a dozen years ago, when they finally realized
that very few of the students would encounter a school type
Mac computer in real life after school.

For industry and commerce the future is quite clear. Are you
going to pay $500 + per seat for MS-Office, or get 15% MORE
horsepower from Libre/Open Office for free ?

For a 1000 employee company, that is a half Million Dollar
question with a very predictable answer.

Just like MS-Office has it's quirks and peculiarities, so does
Open office. The switch is not quite "Same stuff, different
color",
but requires about the same amount of learning and adjusting
as a version upgrade while staying with the same program.
That is definitely no deterrent to switching.

A middle-aged executive was becoming increasingly irritated by
the constant ribbing he was taking from the junior employees who
couldn't resist making fun of his baldness.

One morning, a particularly brash trainee had the gall to run his
hand across the older man's gleaming head while loudly
exclaiming: "Feels just like my wife's butt."

With a look of genuine curiosity, the aging executive rubbed his
hand across his head.
"You're right," he said, "it does!"

Prior to her trip to Texas, Buffy (a New Yorker) confided to her
sorority sisters she had three goals for her trip to the Lone
Star State.  She wanted to taste some real Western Bar-B-Que,
take in a bona fide rodeo, and have sex with a real cowboy. Upon
her return, her sorority sisters were curious as to how she
fared.

"Let me tell you, they have a tree down there called a Mesquite
and when they slow cook that brisket over that Mesquite, it's oh
so good.  The taste is unbelievable!

And, I went to a real rodeo...Talk about athletes! Those guys
wrestle full grown bulls!  They ride horses at a full gallup then
jump off the horses and grab the bulls by the horns and throw
them to the ground! It is just incredible!"

They then asked, "Well, come on, tell us, did you have sex with
a real cowboy?

"Are you kidding?  Once I saw the outline of the condom they
carry in the back pocket of their jeans, I changed my mind!"

While on leave, my Marine buddy and I met two nursing   
students from Southern California. After chatting them   
up awhile, the conversation turned to what we did in the   
service. When we told them we were in the infantry, the   
girls seemed very impressed, giving us big smiles as they   
told us how sweet that was.   

Since infantry and sweet are seldom used in the same sen-   
tence, I was a little confused. Until, that is, one of the   
girls said, "We admire any man who works with infants."

Maybe this is why they don't teach music in high school   
any more. Following are actual answers from students on   
music tests.

- The principal singer of nineteenth century opera was   
called pre-Madonna.   

- Gregorian chant has no music, just singers singing the   
same lines.   

- Sherbet composed the Unfinished Symphony.   

- All female parts were sung by castrati. We don't know ex-   
actly what they sounded like because there are no known   
descendants.   

- Young scholars have expressed their rapture for the Bronze   
Lullaby, the Taco Bell Cannon, Beethoven's Erotica,   
Tchaikovsky Cracknutter Suite, and Gershwin's Rap City in   
Blue.   

- Music sung by two people at the same time is called a   
duel; if they sing without music it is called Acapulco.   

- A virtuoso is a musician with real high morals.   

- Contralto is a low sort of music that only ladies sing.   

- Probably the most marvelous fugue was the one between the   
Hatfields and the McCoys.   

- I know what a sextet is but I'd rather not say.   

- Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a great many musical com-

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

James A. Morman III,
28,
Laurinburg, 
N.C

Fake pastor carrying drug-filled 
Bible visited jail. Got to stay.

Authorities say a man posing as a pastor tried to smuggle drugs
into a North Carolina jail by hiding them in a Bible.

News outlets cite a Facebook post from the Scotland County
Detective Division that says 28-year-old James A. Morman III
visited the Scotland County jail on Dec. 31 in the guise of a
minister.

A search of the Bible he toted revealed Suboxone strips inside.

Authorities then conducted a sweep of the entire detention
facility, and a number of illegal substances and contraband were
located. It’s unclear whether Morman had visited the jail before
with other drug-filled Bibles.

Morman and jail inmate Bryson Brown have been charged in
connection with the operation. Authorities say additional charges
are expected.



While my brother was stationed overseas, his wife wrote to   
him daily. For an added touch, she'd always scribble little   
abbreviated notes on the outside of the envelope.   

One day my brother received a letter with the familiar "SWL"   
(sealed with love) message on the envelope. He noticed that   
the letter was sealed with tape and chuckled when he read   
this notation written by a postal employee: 
"Love didn't stick--resealed in Seattle."

Dear DearWebby,
I have problem with an exe file. When I attempt to go to a 
website off of Google , it directs me to a porn site. How do 
I rid myself of this executable? I've tried to remove it but it 
says that it is in use.
 
Thanks

Dear William
Your machine is infected with malware, a hijacker.
Possibly you agreed to it in the small print of something 
you installed. Once you have agreed to it, as a form of 
payment for something you received.

Spybot is not legally allowed to remove it. The courts 
consider it a negotiated and agreed form of payment, 
owed to the company from whom you got something or other.

There are probably some guerilla methods for getting rid of 
that page hijacker, but without knowing the name of it, it is 
impossible to guess which one you sold your soul to. There are 
way too many page hijackers floating around.

Try MalwareBytes.
Even the free trial will probably clean up your machine quite
nicely.

In the meantime, use the Chinese Maxthon browser. It 
resists a lot of the hijackers.

Also keep in mind that if you use Ad Blockers, some sites
retaliate and send you off to unexpected sites.

Have FUN!

The Life and Times of Brighty, the Grand Canyon’s Most Legendary Burro

___________________________________________________

Against his better judgment, the big game hunter is talked into
taking both his wife AND her mother along on one of his
expeditions.

It does not go well. The mother-in-law is, if anything, harder to
get along with in the wilds than she was in the city. And to
make
matters worse, she won't even abide by the simple camp rules
designed to keep the safari safe.

One night after dinner, the hunter's wife realizes her mother
is missing. Panicked, she rushes to her husband and begs him to
institute a search.

He sighs, and together they set out. But before they've gone far,
they hear throaty growling. Soon they come upon a small clearing
in which the mother-in-law stands, backed up against thick,
seemingly impenetrable jungle brush, and facing a huge male lion.

The wife whispers urgently, "What are we going to do?"

"Nothing whatever," responds her husband. "Lions are pretty
tough. The lion got himself into this mess, now let him get
himself out of it."

"Wasn't for me, after all," he said. 

She crawled out of bed and pulled on a robe.

Then he added, "It was a wrong number."

Floriduh woman breaks into police station, 
eats officer’s lunch, forgets her ID there

 Many of us have had to deal with a co-worker eating our food at
work, but what about a burglar doing it?

Boynton Beach police arrested 29-year-old Yvelande Jean-Pierre,
Wednesday for just that.

1st mistake - breaking into our substation. 2nd - eating Agent
Berben's chicken & asparagus. 3rd - leaving her ID behind. Today,
we charged Yvelande Jean-Pierre w/burglary to an unoccupied
structure, theft & criminal mischief. 

According to police, Jean-Pierre broke into a substation and
stole two pre-made meals belonging to an officer from the
refrigerator.

She actually warmed one up and ate it.

Upon finding the scene the next day, detectives discovered Jean-
Pierre left her ID behind. Police also said Jean-Pierre was
caught on surveillance video.

Jean-Pierre has since been charged with burglary, theft and
criminal mischief.

Virginia man leads police on high-speed 
chase across 3 counties

A man led police on a high-speed chase Wednesday across three
Southwest Virginia counties.

Apparently, the pursuit from Pulaski County to Roanoke County was
on his bucket list.

“He said it was his lifelong dream to run from the police,”
Virginia State Police Sgt. Rick Garletts said.

Dejuane Ramel Wilson, 24, of Wakefield was arrested and charged
with eluding police. Garletts said more charges could be filed.

About 10:33 a.m., a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro failed to stop on
Interstate 81 at the 104 mile marker after a sheriff’s deputy
recorded the vehicle speeding in a work zone, according to
Garletts.

Virginia State Police took over the pursuit when the Camaro
entered Montgomery County. In Roanoke County, at the 132 mile
marker, police recorded the vehicle traveling 130 mph.

State police cars in front of and behind the Camaro managed to
stop it on the shoulder at the 138.7 mile marker, leading to a
slight traffic backup.

At 10:52 a.m., Wilson was taken into custody, Garletts said.

Re: What is a Trojan

Dear DearWebby,
My brother claims he has the Trojan Virus in his computer. 
What is this, and what would you suggest he do to get rid of it:
Roland

Dear Roland
A Trojan is rarely a virus. A Virus is a program, that doesn't
just cause problems, but that also infects other machines.

A Trojan is a back-door for spammers and hackers.
It lets the hackers enter his machine and use it for sending 
spam in the background, while the clueless goof is 
cyber-sexing in the foreground.

Naturally, he is not winning any popularity contest by
hosting a spam spreader and having Millions of people
sincerely wishing him bad luck.

Any decent anti-virus program like MalwareBytes prevents 
Trojans from entering, even when he clicks on disreputable spam. 
They also get rid of Trojans that have already been installed.

Have FUN!
DearWebby

Curling - Shuffleboard, bowling and janitorial work finally get
their respect in this sport. In curling, a stone is pushed down a
frozen playing area, which is 46 yards long and 14 feet wide, and
the closest to the "button" wins. Members of the curling team are
allowed to use brooms to sweep the ice ahead of the stone so it
will go further.

Another part of the sport is to knock an opponents stone away
from the button.

The earliest known curling stone, found in Scotland, dates back
to 1511, and a 1560 painting by the Flemish artist Pieter
Breughel shows a Dutch curling scene, complete with brooms. 

Breughel's painting, entitled "Sweep, Ye Drunken Bastards!
Sweep!" is the earliest known visual representation of curling.

The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was
going to ask the congregation to come up with more money
than they were expecting for repairs to the church building.

Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist
was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last
minute.  The substitute wanted to know what to play.

"Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently.  "But
you'll have to think of something to play after I make the
announcement about the finances."

During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers
and Sisters, we are in great difficulty;  the roof repairs cost
twice as much as we expected, and we need $4,000 more.
Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up."

At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star-
Spangled Banner."

And that is how the substitute organist became the
permanent organist.

Kyler Payne,

Michigan City,
Michigan

Man said he was too drunk to run from crash

Porter police arrested a Michigan City man over the weekend on
three misdemeanors related to drunken driving after he allegedly
rolled his car and told police he tried running away from the
crash but couldn’t because he was too drunk and injured, a report
said.

Porter police were called around 10:04 p.m. Friday to the area of
South Mineral Springs Road and Wood Street for a report of a
rollover crash, according to a report.

Police said they found a car in the woods, west of the
intersection, and Kyler Payne, 22, lying on the ground near the
train tracks just north of the woods where the car was located.
Payne was bleeding from his head and face but was coherent and
speaking, police said.

Payne allegedly told police he had approximately 14 drinks
throughout the day and that after crashing his car, he was able
to kick out the windshield and exit it.

He reportedly told police the crash occurred because he was
driving around 100 mph and did not realize the intersection was
so close.

Payne allegedly had a blood-alcohol content of .197 percent,
police said; the legal limit is .08 percent.

Police transported Payne to Porter Regional Hospital for medical
treatment before taking him to Porter County Jail on preliminary
misdemeanor counts of operating while intoxicated-endangering;
operating while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol content greater
than .15 percent; and operating while intoxicated.

Re: Ad Blocker

Dear DearWebby,
Thanks again for all of your information and your jokes.  Also
thanks for helping Ophelia with her mailings.

Wondering about blocking ads on firefox, facebook, etc.   Is
there a free program to do this?  What are your thoughts about
something like this?

Thanks again, Jim


Dear Jim
Yes, there ARE ad blockers:

Ad Blocker for for FireFox

Ad blocker for Chrome


Before you get too carried away blocking ads, consider the reason
for ads. For example I make an average of $4.54 per month on the
top ads. Not much, but every bit helps.

Nobody is getting rich on ads since the Dot-Com-Crash in 2004.
Up to then, ads were paid by exposure. So many Million exposures
brought in so much money,

Since then, and what caused the Dot-Com-Crash, ads pay only a
commission. For example, exposing the ad for MailWasher does not
pay a penny. When somebody does smarten up and buy it, then I get
a couple of bucks.

 It is the same with all sites. They need to make money to pay
the hosting bill. Only the political "news" sites like
CNN, that are financed by Soros and Iran, don't have to worry
about that. 
All other sites depend on ads.

When you block ads, you block their groceries.
Some ignore it, but not all.
Some detect your ad blocker and send you off to a religious or
porno site. 
You have to be aware of that. Ad blockers work, but you have to
expect hostile retaliation.

I just ignore ads, that I am not interested in.  

You can also block tracking.
As you may have noticed, if you search for "Vatican", then
Firefox will pester you with Vatican related ads for two weeks.
If you don't like that, try https://duckduckgo.com/ and hide from
the CIA and FBI, and see how you like that.

The next step would be to try a VPN for a month.
Then even Broom Hilda can't track you.
You will be a real Internet Guerilla. With nobody able to track
you, your ads will be reduced and definitely not about Vatican
Porno.

Some friends use and  swear by this one:

Have FUN!

class that although whales are the largest creatures on earth
they have really small mouths and can only swallow krill and
other small sea creatures.

Little Johnny immediately stood up and told the teacher she
was wrong.

The teacher asked why?

Little Johnny explained that Jonah was swallowed by a whale in
the Bible.

The teacher told Little Johnny that was impossible as a whales
mouth is much to small.

Little Johnny argued that if it was in the Bible then it was
true...
but the teacher stood her ground.

Little Johnny told her that when he went to heaven he would
ask Jonah himself...and then the teacher asked Little Johnny
what if Jonah went to hell?

To which Little Johnny replied..."Then you can ask him!"

Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person.

A man is strolling past the mental hospital and suddenly 
remembers an important meeting. 
Unfortunately, his watch has stopped, and he cannot tell 
if he is late or not. Then, he notices a patient similarly 
strolling about within the hospital fence. 
Calling out to the patient, the man says, "Pardon me, sir, 
but do you have the time?" 

The patient calls back, "One moment!" and throws himself 
upon the ground, pulling out a short stick as he does. He 
pushes the stick into the ground, and, pulling out a carpenter's 
level, assures himself that the stick is vertical. 
With a compass, the patient locates north and with a steel ruler,

measures the precise length of the shadow cast by the stick. 
Withdrawing a slide rule from his pocket, the patient calculates 
rapidly, then swiftly packs up all his tools and turns back to
the pedestrian, saying, "It is now precisely 3:29 pm, provided
today is January 10, which I believe it is." 

The man can't help but be impressed by this demonstration, and 
sets his watch accordingly. 

Before he leaves, he says to the patient, "That was really quite 
remarkable, but tell me, what do you do on a cloudy day, or at 
night, when the stick casts no shadow?" 

The patient holds up his wrist and says, "I suppose I'd just look

at my watch."

Police arrest man accused of sodomizing 
1-year-old girl he was babysitting

A man in Missouri was arrested Wednesday on sodomy charges of a
1-year-old girl he was babysitting.

Jayson Newlun, 26, was a family friend, according to court
documents reviewed by KMBC.

The parents of the girl told police they left Newlun alone with
their daughter, who was asleep at the time, while they went to
the store. The mother realized she forgot something and when they
returned home, they found Newlun in the baby's room. The mother
told police she saw Newlun sexually assaulting her daughter while
photographing the act.

The girl's father attacked Newlun, hitting him with a dresser
drawer and punching him multiple times, according to the court
documents reviewed by KMBC. A neighbor intervened and broke up
the altercation until police arrived.

The girl's mother allegedly asked Newlun why he did such a thing
to her daughter and he said he didn't know. When she told him
that she hopes he goes down for this, he agreed with her,
according to court documents.

Newlun was arrested on a statutory sodomy charge and taken to the
Clay County Detention Center.

Dear Eric
Most likely Spamcop had contacted the webhost of that 
phishing site, and the web host then promptly confiscated 
the domain from the phishers, and redirected the entire 
domain to  the wikipedia page about phishing,
just to piss the phishers off.

That is pretty well standard procedure with the better web hosts.
However, while fun, it is not really a good idea to enter the
info about some local politician, you are still telling them that
your IP number is live.

Best is to do like MailWasher and just flush the crap and forget
it.

Thanks to Darlene for bringing back this Classic:
THE POWER OF PRAYER? 
 
In a small conservative town, a man began construction so 
he could open a new Bar/Tavern.  
 
The local Church started a campaign to block the Bar from 
opening by daily prayers and working on petitions. 
 
Work progressed right up until the week before opening, 
when a lightning strike hit the Bar and burned it to the ground.
The Church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, 
right up until the Bar's owner sued the Church on the grounds 
that it was ultimately responsible for the demise of his
building, 
either through "direct or indirect actions or means." 
 
The Church vehemently denied all responsibility or any 
connection to the building's demise in its reply to the court. 
 
When the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing  
he commented, "I don't know yet how I'm going to decide this. 
It appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner that 
believes in the power of prayer, 
and an entire Church congregation that doesn't!"

"Boy, would I hate to be hooked up to that thing," she said.

"So would I," replied the technician.  "It's a floor-cleaning

My boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that
he wasn't getting any respect. So he he went to a stationery 
store and bought a small sign that read, 
"I'm the Boss." He then taped it to his office door.

Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone
had written on it with a red felt Mark-all:
"Door signs require a permit from the Secretary."

I am five feet three inches tall and pleasingly
plump. After I had a minor accident, my mother
accompanied me to the emergency room. The
triage nurse asked for my height and weight,
and I blurted out, "Five-foot-eight, 125 pounds."

While the nurse pondered over this information,
my mother leaned over to me. "Sweetheart,"
she gently chided, "This is not the Internet."

Thanks to Irene for this story:
My husband and I were at a restaurant and before we were
seated my husband said he needed to use the bathroom he
went off and did his business, When he finally returned I
notice a very LONG piece of toilet paper hanging out of
the back of his pants. 

Before I could say anything everyone started laughing and
pointing, of course he still had no clue,  that is until some
young guy approached him, and asked him if he was receiving a
fax!

Constant nagging didn't seem to provide any relief from having to

clean up the bathroom after each of my three teenage children.
After I cleaned it one day, I resorted to posting a sign that
read: "Please leave the bathroom as you found it." I noticed the
bathroom was in the usual mess after my son used it, so I called,
"Brian, how did you find the bathroom?" 

After a brief pause, he replied, "Straight down the 
hall, first door on the right."

Sick Day 
I'm feeling sick and getting worse. 
I think I'd better see the nurse.
I'm sure I should go home today.
It could be fatal if I stay.
I'm nauseated, nearly ill.
I have a fever and a chill.
I have a cold. I have the flu.
I'm turning green and pink and blue.
I have the sweats. I have the shakes,
a stuffy nose, and bellyaches.

My knees are weak. My vision's blurred.
My throat is sore. My voice is slurred.
I'm strewn with head lice, ticks, and mites.
I'm covered in mosquito bites.
I have a cough, a creak, a croak,
a reddish rash from poison oak,
a feeble head, a weakened heart.

I may just faint or fall apart.
I sprained my ankle, stubbed my toes,
and soon I'll start to decompose.
And one more thing I have today
that makes me have to go away.

It's just as bad as all the rest:
I also have a science test.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Deanna Seltzer, 
28,
Lake Worth,
Floriduh


Woman attacks parents for not taking her to Outback

A woman from Lake Worth is accused of attacking her parents with
a knife for not taking her to Outback Steakhouse.

Deanna Seltzer, 28, is facing two counts of aggravated assault,
battery, and battery on a person over 65 years old.

A report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Seltzer
became enraged after she asked her parents to go to Outback on
Wednesday afternoon. Her mom said "No." That's when Seltzer
flipped over the glass dining room table and other furniture
throughout the home. Deputies said she also hit her mom, grabbed
a 12-inch decorative knife and chased her dad around the home,
threatening to kill him. Her father eventually wrestled the knife
away from her.

Seltzer is free on bond. A judge ordered her to undergo a mental
health evaluation within days of her release from jail.



>From Anna
While visiting my son on his Army base, I chatted with 
a colleague of his.

"What rank are you?" I asked.

"I'm relieved to say that I've just been promoted from 
captain to major."

"Relieved? Why?"

"Because," he replied, "my last name is Hook."

Re: Big downloads

Dear DearWebby,
Is there a location to get a current copy of Libre Office from. 
I am not way savvy on this stuff & made a mess of trying to 
download it. It gave me several dowloading errors & I could 
not get it to open properly. Paying a fee for a clean current 
copy is no problem.
 
Now that I have read your news letter I can go have my morning
tea.
Thanx,
     Steve J.

Dear Steve
It is a huge file, about 120 MB,
and on slow dial-up will take a long time to download.
If you have a neighbor or friend with a high speed 
connection, give them a blank CD and ask them to 
download it and burn it onto the CD for you.
CD's are cheap, but shipping is not. Try to get one burned
within walking distance.

Personally, I would just start the download before you go to bed.
By morning it will be finished even on a very slow dial-up.

Have FUN!

A young woman was preparing a ham dinner.  After she cut
off the end of the ham, she placed it in a pan for baking.  Her
friend asked her,"Why did you cut off the end of the ham"?
And she replied ,"I really don't know but my mother always
did, so I thought you were supposed to."

Later when talking to her mother she asked her why she cut
off the end of the ham before baking it, and her mother
replied,"I really don't know, but that's the way my mom
always did it."

A few weeks later while visiting her grandmother, the young
woman asked, "Grandma, why is it that you cut off the end
of a ham before you bake it?"

Her grandmother replied ,"Well dear, otherwise it would 
never fit into my baking pan, because hams were bigger in those
days."

confession.

"Father, during World War II a beautiful woman knocked on my 
door and asked me to hide her from the Germans. I hid her in 
my attic."

The priest replied: "That was a wonderful thing you did, 
my son, and you have no need to confess."

"It's worse, Father. I was weak and told her she must repay 
me with her sexual favours."

"You were both in great danger and would have suffered 
terribly if the Germans had found her. Heaven, in its wisdom 
and mercy, will balance the good and evil, and judge you 
kindly. You are forgiven."

"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. But I 
have one more question."

"And what is that?"

"Should I tell her the war is over?"

Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Quincy Gerrard Petty,
39,
Roseville,
Minnesota

Minnesota robber remembers his mask too late

A Bob Marley hat helped police nab a man suspected of robbing a
Dollar Tree in Roseville on Christmas Eve, authorities say.

Quincy Gerrard Petty, 39, also reportedly forgot to put his mask
on when he first walked into the retailer on Larpenteur Avenue
and told an employee at the register he wasn’t “playing,” court
documents say.

“Open your register, I’m robbing you,” Petty reportedly said. He
later reached under his sweatshirt near his waistband and yelled:

“If you put your hands down, ya’ll done,” according to the
criminal complaint filed against him via warrant this week in
Ramsey County District Court.

A store employee recognized Petty as the boyfriend of another
employee, authorities say. When he saw the man look at him, Petty
remembered his mask and pulled it over his face, according to the
complaint.

Another man accompanied Petty during the robbery, the complaint
said.

They took off with about $2,000 after store managers emptied a
safe, authorities say. They fled in a red SUV.

Police tracked down a vehicle matching the description to a
location near Petty’s girlfriend’s home, the complaint said. He
and his girlfriend were found outside her residence, and Petty
was arrested, the complaint said.

While he had changed his clothes, he was wearing the same Bob
Marley hat that store employees reported seeing on the suspect,
according to an affidavit for a search warrant filed in the case.

Officers also found a crumpled envelope with the word “robbery”
written on it inside Petty’s pockets, along with two coin
wrapping papers and more than $600 in cash mostly in $1 bills,
the complaint said.

Petty denied involvement in the robbery. His girlfriend said he
was with her all morning and that the incident was a setup by the
store in retaliation for a complaint she filed.

Petty faces one count of second-degree aggravated robbery and a
second count of simple robbery.

My friend's husband is always telling her that housekeeping
would be a snap if only she would organize her time better.
Recently he had a chance to put his theory into practice while
his wife was away.
        
When I popped in one evening to see how he was managing,
he crowed, "I made a cake, frosted it, washed the kitchen
windows, cleaned all the cupboards, scrubbed the kitchen floor,
walls and ceiling, and even had a bath."
        
I was about to concede that perhaps he was a better manager
than his wife, when he added sheepishly, "When I was making the
chocolate frosting, I forgot to turn off the mixer before taking
the beaters out of the bowl, so I had to do all the rest."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

Douglas-Kelly,
50,
Hawthorne,
Floriduh

Floridian who asked police to test his meth 
is now a wanted man on the run

A Floridian who actually brought methamphetamine to a police
station to have it tested is now a wanted  man, according to
court records.

Douglas Kelly, 50, was arrested last year on a felony narcotics
possession charge. After posting $2500 bond, he was freed from
the Putnam County jail.

But when he failed to show for subsequent court hearings, a judge
issued an arrest warrant for Kelly, who told police he lived in
Hawthorne, a city about 15 miles east of Gainesville.

Pictured above, Kelly was arrested after calling cops to say that
he believed a meth dealer had rooked him. Kelly told
investigators that he wanted to “press charges” against the
dealer if a test determined that he had “been given the wrong
narcotics,” according to a police report.

Kelly explained to a Putnam County Sheriff’s Office deputy that
he had a “violent reaction” after smoking what he thought was
“speed,” but now suspected was Flakka, the synthetic stimulant.

After detailing his concerns, Kelly drove to the precinct "to
have the illegal narcotics tested," deputies noted. Kelly
provided cops with a piece of aluminum foil that contained a
“clear, crystal-like substance” that tested positive for
methamphetamine.

When police catch up with Kelly, he will likely face a second
felony rap for bail jumping.

Re: Which browser to design for

Dear DearWebby,
there are so many browsers out there now that it is hard
to decide for which one to design a site for. Each one seems
to have a few things different, and it is too timeconsuming to
study all of them.
Elaine

Dear Elaine
If you design your pages so that they look OK on Chrome, then
they will work fine for most of your visitors, no matter which
browser they use. 

The FireFox fanatics know that some stuff doesn't work right,
but they consider that a fair price to pay for religious fredom
and the right to use a non-Microsoft browser. 

The same goes for Mac users. They know that the Safari 
browser has a few teeth missing and can't cope with Java
as well as other browsers, but that is a battle scar that 
they learned to live with.

As long as you don't use the newest and weirdest gimmicks,
all browsers can display your stuff, if it is designed for Chrome.

Have FUN!

Reported by the Bausell Sailor: 




An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD 
has been earned by

 Jaqueline Ades, 
33.
Phoenix,
Arizona

Serious Bimbo Malfunction allegedly sent 
159K texts after single date, threatened 
to ‘make sushi’ of man’s kidneys

A woman accused of bombarding a man with 65,000 text messages
after a single date is now believed to have sent more than twice
that amount.

According to court documents obtained by the Arizona Republic,
then 31-year-old Jaqueline Ades, of Phoenix, sent the victim more
than 159,000 texts – many of them threatening – over a 10-month
period starting in July, 2017.

“I’d wear ur fascia n the top of ur skull n ur hands n feet,” one
of the alleged texts read.

Another read, “I’d make sushi outta ur kidneys n chopsticks outta
ur hand bones,” according to police.

Ades told investigators they met on a site called Luxy, which
advertises that it can connect users with “verified
millionaires.”

In July 2017, Ades was found parked outside of the victim’s
Paradise Valley home, police said. Officers found Ades still
outside the victim’s home when they arrived and told her to
leave, officials said. Shortly after, the man started to receive
threatening text messages from the suspect.

Police received a similar report in December from the same
residence, but officers were unable to locate her.

On April 8, the victim called a detective a third time, saying he
was out of the country, but saw Ades in his home while checking
his home surveillance video.

When officers arrived at the home, the woman was taking a bath,
police said.  Body camera video obtained in a public records
request by the Arizona Republic allegedly shows her telling an
officer, “I guess that I made up a whole scenario in my head
where I live here, so I came here and pretended that’s what was
happening.”

A large butcher knife was discovered on the passenger’s seat of
her car, court paperwork said. She was taken into custody and
charged with trespassing. Police noted in her arrest record that
she showed signs of mental illness.

After Ades was released from jail, she allegedly started sending
more threatening text messages to the victim — some of the
messages alluded that “harm may come to him,” according to KNXV.

Less than three weeks later, the victim called authorities to
report receiving multiple threatening text messages from her,
court documents said. The man also explained that they met on a
dating website, and after one date Ades began stalking and
harassing him. The victim said that she sent about 500 text
messages to him a day, court documents said.

In one of Ades’ messages, she allegedly stated, “…Don’t ever try
to leave me…I’ll kill you…I don’t wanna be a murderer.” She also
said that she wanted to wear his body parts and bathe in his
blood, court paperwork said.

Ades is being held without bond at the Maricopa County Jail after
pleading not guilty to charges of stalking and criminal
trespassing. Her trial is due to begin in early February.





From: Michael
e: Reset Toner status

Dear DearWebby,

One more thing you might want to tell your readers about laser
printers: About a year and a half ago, my Brother printer
complained that I needed to replace the black toner. I googled
for how to reset the message without replacing the cartridge, and
found a page that showed exactly how to do it. I have printed
many hundreds of pages since then, without replacing the black
toner. I have no idea how much longer this “empty” toner will
last, but I’m not going to replace it until it is actually out.
The process to reset the “toner empty” indicator varies between
printers, and is not possible with some, but for any that do
allow it, I highly recommend trying it.
Aloha,

-mkr

Dear Michael
Yes, some printers like those from Brother, count the pages and
when you have printed enough to theoretically deplete the toner,
they whine about it,

If you just print orders or receipts, that use very little toner,
the container may still be half full. They don't weigh the toner
container, just use the counter. It is sort of similar to the
orange idiot light in a car telling you to go to service after a
certain number of miles.

With some printers, like the ones from DELL, you have to take the
chip from the toner container and replace it. Companies that sell
toner refills, sell those chips for around $10.

It is definitely worth googling about toner for your particular
printer, before you spend money.

Have FUN!

Assault on workers at McDonalds

Assault at McDonalds

The customer seen in a viral video accosting a female McDonald’s
employee allegedly kicked a second worker in the stomach as he
was being escorted out of the Florida restaurant on New Year’s
Eve, according to police who arrested him on a pair of battery
charges.

Daniel Taylor, 40, was in the St. Petersburg restaurant around 7
PM Monday when he reached across the front counter and grabbed
worker Yasmine James by the collar and “jerked her forward.”
Yasmine is much shorter than Taylor.

A video of the incident, seen above, shows James punching Taylor
in an attempt to loosen his grip. After letting go of James,
Taylor snaps his fingers at a McDonald’s manager and says,
“Excuse me, sir. Gimme a refund.”

When James later reappears at the counter, Taylor says, “And I
want her ass fired right now.”

As alleged in court filings, as Taylor was being escorted out of
the restaurant by McDonald’s management, he kicked worker Tateona
Bell in the stomach as she was standing near the exit door. The
confrontation, cops says, “was captured on video.”

Seen above, Taylor was arrested on two misdemeanor battery counts
and booked into the Pinellas County jail (where he remains locked
up in lieu of $1000 bond). A judge has ordered him to stay away
from McDonald’s and have no contact with James or Bell.

Taylor, listed as a transient in arrest affidavits, may have been
under the influence of alcohol during his McDonald’s meltdown,
cops reported. Taylor’s rap sheet includes convictions for lewd
and lascivious behavior, passing bad checks, driving without a
license, and failure to appear in court. 

Chances are good that Taylor will get tuned up in jail by
McDonalds customers, who don't like it when boneheads assault
young McDonalds workers.

ink squirters are too expensive to operate, and they break down
in half a year.
Teddie

Dear Teddie
Lasers use a toner, which is basically a powder made from hard
wax, magnetic powder and color pigment. The built in magic
deposits the dry powder exactly where it needs to be, and then
the hot fuser roller melts the toner so that it flows into the
paper.

What takes time is to heat up that fuser roller. 
If you print again in a few minutes, it will still be hot and
won't take long to get to the right operating temperature.

Have FUN!

Thawing Frozen Locks 
If a lock outside has stopped working in cold weather, 
it might be frozen. Try heating it with a hair dryer until 
you are able to turn the key. You can also heat the key 
with a lighter or match before using. Be careful as the 
key will get hot.

If it is your car lock, a zip-lock baggie
filled with hot coffee and held against the lock for 60 
seconds, will thaw it out quite nicely, without burning your
fingers.

Indiana

Indiana toddler left in freezing car in 
‘soaked’ diaper while mom was inside bar

Officers with the Knox City Police Department responded to O’s
Tap on Main Street around 2 a.m. Sunday after someone spotted the
child in a car that wasn’t running. Police say the temperature
was 25 degrees.

According to a police report obtained by WKVI, the baby’s diaper
was soaked and no baby food, bottle or diapers were found in the
diaper bag or car.

Police say Tiffany Hebling, 29, was inside the bar. She was
arrested and charged with neglect of a dependent and criminal
recklessness.

The baby was checked out by medics and released to her father.

Police are reviewing the bar’s surveillance video to determine
how long the baby was left alone in the car and how hard to throw
the book at her.

Re: Ink or Laser printer

Dear Webby,
You mentioned a number of pages per month one time,
that would be time to switch from ink to laser printers.
But I forgot what that number was. And it probably has
changed in the meantime. What is that number nowadays?
Elsie

Dear Elsie,
if your old inkjet is still OK for fax and scanning,
then you can buy a cheap single function network laser
printer, and the magical number drops to one tenth of a case
of paper per month. Toner has come down in price, but ink has
gone up. It is so ridiculously expensive that some companies give
you the ink jet printer free or almost free, so that they can
hold you for ransom with the ink.

During the first year you will feel paranoid about when your
toner will run out. Keep in mind, most stores like Staples or
BestBuy will sell Lasers with a cheapscate Mr Grinch type toner
sample, that will run out shortly after you leave the store. 
Ignore that and get a proper toner replacement.
THEN you will see how long it will last, and you will be
pleasantly surprised.

Have FUN!

If you provide coffee to "employees" and visitors, you can

The teacher answered quickly, "That would be the Titanic." 

St.Peter let him through the gate.

St. Peter turned to the garbage man and, figuring Heaven didn't

Fortunately for him, the trash man had just seen the movie, and

"That's right! You may enter."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD

Riff Trace,
31,
Wichita,
Kansas

Cowboy boot-wearing racist kicked black 
baby boy onto supermarket floor

A cowboy boot-wearing white supremacist kicked a one year-old
black baby in the back and sent him tumbling to a supermarket
floor, police said. Jhavii Whitaker was attacked from behind by
Trace Riff, 31, as Trace screamed the N-word at the baby and his
11 year-old sister. 

Recalling the incident at a Dillon's supermarket in Wichita,
Kansas, Sunday, Jhavii's mother Lashantai Whitaker said: 'I heard
a thud like a loud thud, and I'm thinking it's something that
fell off a shelf or something. One year-old Jhavii Whitaker was
kicked in the back by a racist and tumbled to the floor while
shopping with his mother and sister on Sunday

'But my daughter started to scream, so I turned around, and she
was picking my son off the ground. He was screaming to the top of
his lungs.' Lashantai, who is pregnant, was walking just ahead of
her children when she heard the commotion, and turned around to
hear her daughter screaming that Jhavii had been kicked.

The impact had sent the little boy crashing face-down onto the
floor, with Riff then alleged to have tried to run away. He was
apprehended by shocked eyewitnesses who pinned him to the ground,
with Riff reportedly screaming more racist slurs, and claiming to
be a white supremacist. Lashanta told KSN: 'He was just referring
to us as the N-word and just making it known that he was a white
supremacist and repeatedly saying it over and over.

'What person is sitting around at the Dillon's waiting to attack
children?' She added: 'I'm hoping that they give him time, and it
doesn't happen to somebody else's child.' Riff, who has numerous
previous convictions including DUI and domestic violence, was
arrested and charged with ethnic intimidation, battery and
resisting police. He has since been released on $3,500 bond, with
no conditions, to the horror of his alleged victim's family.

Re: Free interior design program

Dear Webby,
I am looking for a safe free download program to design rooms in
my new home. For instance, new flooring, carpet etc. 
There are several offered on line, but not sure if they are safe.
Thank you for all of your really useful information in you daily
letter. 
Hope you have a blessed, happy and healthy New Year.
Kay

I am not familiar with any of those design programs.
Google for Interior Design programs.
You will probably find a few comparative reviews.

By the way, stay away from carpets except at the entrance door,
where you take your muddy shoes off,
and in the bedroom to cut down the noise you make.

For the rest of the house use cushion vinyl. Then you can use
those flying saucer vacuum and mop robots.
And most emphatically INSIST that the vinyl is pulled up 4 inches
at every wall, instead of floor boards or trim, that creates
black lines unless your maid scrubs off the black line on hands
and knees.

Have FUN!

Maine Homeowner Finds Intruder Watching TV, 
Wearing His Clothing

A Maine man is facing a number of charges after authorities say
he broke into a Waterboro home, grabbed a bite to eat, took a
shower, then got a car ride from his victim.

Derek Tarbox, 35, of Standish, was arrested Sunday and is facing
charges of class B burglary, two counts of unauthorized use of
property, leaving the scene of property damage accident, failure
to report an accident and theft by unauthorized taking.

The York County Sheriff's Office said Tarbox was found watching
television when a Bennet Hill Road resident arrived home Sunday.

Authorities said Tarbox told the homeowner he mistakenly thought
the house belonged to a friend and asked for a ride home.

The homeowner told authorities that seemed plausible, so he drove
him to a house in Hollis, which actually belonged to Tarbox's
relatives.

When the victim returned, he realized his home had been ransacked
and that Tarbox had broken in through a back door.

According to WCSH-TV, the homeowner called police and deputies
and troopers were able to quickly apprehend Tarbox without
incident.

Through an investigation with Maine State Police, authorities
also learned that Tarbox had allegedly stolen a vehicle in
Portland prior to the break-in and ran out of gas in Hollis where
he allegedly stole another vehicle and drove it to the Bennet
Hill Road home where he went off the road and crashed.
Authorities said that's when Tarbox walked to the victim's house
where he broke in.

Tarbox was expected to be arraigned Dec. 26. It's unclear if he
has an attorney. He's scheduled to appear in Alfred Superior
Court on Feb. 8, 2019.

Re: Computer not shutting down

Dear Webby,
I have with my computer not shutting down.

A times it tells me it is running a long string at that time it
will time out and close the program 

and when i shut it down at night it stays in the shutdown screen,
it stayed in that screen for 5 hrs till I turned off manually
with the power switch. 

Any ideas? 

Jaxs

Dear Jaxs
That sounds like an infection.
There is no mechanical part that can cause that.
Probably some hacker is not quite finished with whatever he is
doing.

I would recommend that you run Malwarebytes.
Try downloading it, then pulling the Internet connection or
unplug the modem,
and THEN run the install of Malwarebytes.
Let me know if that dumps the slave master.

Have FUN!

Bubba applied for an engineering position at a Lake

A Yankee applied for the same job and both applicants 
having the same qualifications were asked to take a test 
by the manager.
Upon completion of the test, both men only missed one 
of the questions. 

The manager went to Bubba and said: "Thank you for 
your interest but we've decided to give the Yankee the 
job."

Bubba asked: "And why are you giving him the job? 
We both got nine questions correct. This being Louisiana , 
and me being a Southern boy I should ge t the job!" 

The manager said: "We have made our decision not on 
the correct answers, but rather on the one question that 
you both missed."

Bubba then asked: "And just how would one incorrect 
answer be better than the other?" 

The manager replied: "Bubba, it's like this... on question #4, 
the Yankee put down, 'I don't know'. And you put down, 
'Neither do I'."

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy   
tea, Mom came home.  Dad made her wait in the living room

has been earned by

Charles Albert Garcia, 
40, 
Big Pine Key,
Floriduh

Florida dope tried to prevent car search
by locking keys into the car.

A Florida Keys man pulled over for speeding Christmas Eve locked
his keys inside his car when Monroe County Sheriff’s Office
deputies told him they were going to search the vehicle,
according to his arrest report.

Charles Albert Garcia, 40, had reason to worry. Deputies found
small amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, amphetamine
pills and marijuana inside the Lexus, according to Deputy Jason
Farr’s affidavit.

Garcia, from Big Pine Key, was arrested on multiple felony drug
possession counts, felony driving with a suspended license and
misdemeanor marijuana possession and misdemeanor obstruction. He
was released Wednesday on a bond of $64,000. He did not return a
phone call seeking comment.

Farr stated that he pulled Garcia over shortly after 11 p.m.
Monday after clocking him on his radar driving his Lexus 70 mph
in a 45 mph zone of U.S. 1 at mile marker 102 heading south. Farr
asked Garcia for his license, but Garcia said it was suspended
but would be reinstated soon, according to the report.

He told Farr the Lexus he was driving was his father’s and he was
returning home to Big Pine with Christmas presents. According to
Farr’s report, Garcia’s license has been suspended since April
2012, and he had been arrested for driving on a suspended license
three previous times. He also had a warrant out for his arrest
for not showing up to court for a traffic violation, Farr wrote
in his report.

After Farr said he was going to search the Lexus, Garcia threw
the keys inside the vehicle and locked the doors. A towing
company unlocked the door, and deputies searched the vehicle,
finding the drugs, according to Farr’s report.

Re: What is safer, wired or wireless

Dear Webby,
Enjoy the humor letter, What is safer from hacking wireless or
wired?
Earl

Dear Earl
Wired is safer, though if you change your password frequently,
wireless CAN be safe enough. 

Keep in mind, you are not a political target and no real experts
are trying to hack into your stuff. You just have to close the
door and lock it against casual drive by hackers.

It was a cold winter day. An old man walked out onto a frozen 
lake, cut a hole in the ice, dropped in his fishing line, and
waited patiently for a bite. He was there for almost an hour,
without even a nibble, when a young boy walked out onto the ice,
cut a hole in he ice next to him. The young boy dropped his
fishing line and minutes later he hooked a Largemouth Bass.

The old man couldn't believe his eyes but chalked it up to plain 
luck. But, shortly thereafter, the young boy pulled in another 
large catch.

The young boy kept catching fish after fish. Finally, the old man

couldn't take it any longer. "Son, I've been here for over an
hour without even a nibble. You've been here only a few minutes
and have caught a half dozen fish! How do you do it?"

The boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm."

"What was that?" the old man asked.

Again the boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rarrm."

"Look," said the old man, "I can't understand a word 
you're saying."

The boy spit the bait into his hand and said, 
"You have to keep the worms warm!"

Storing Potatoes 
Store potatoes in a cool (40F), dark place for months. Do not 
allow potatoes to freeze. Potatoes should be stored in a bin 
that is at least a few inches off the ground but not piled more 
than 18 inches deep.  
Thriftyfun.com

Where I grew up, most houses had a
potato cellar that had at least a quarter of the floor just 
packed dirt. The rest, and walkways were concrete or 
boardwalks.

Folk wisdom said that potatoes needed the gases emerging 
from the earth, otherwise they would not last until the next
harvest. The potatoes were in wooden bins sitting on 2x4's. 
That trick worked fine for us and we always still had some 
old potatoes, when we started harvesting the new ones.

Even if you can't grow potatoes, it's still worth storing them
if you have a basement. By spring potatoes in the store
often cost three times as much as at harvest time.

Have FUN!
