Swampy Marsh, the young Australian father-to-be, is
waiting anxiously outside the maternity ward where his
wife is having their first baby. He is pacing the floor
when the nurse comes out and says, "You have a little
boy, Mr. Marsh, but you had better go out and have a cup
of coffee, because there may be another one."
Swampy turns a little pale and leaves. Some time later he
phones the hospital and is told that he the father of
twins, but the nurse cautions, "There is another
one on the way, so call back later."
At that Swampy decides that coffee is not strong enough,
so he goes to a bar and has some beer. When he phones
the hospital again he is told that the third baby has
arrived and a fourth is on the way.
White-faced, he stumbles to the bar and orders a double
scotch.
Twenty minutes later, he tries to phone again, but he is
so drunk that he dials the wrong number and gets the
recorded cricket game score. When they pick him up off
the floor the recording is still going strong:
"The score is ninety-six all out," says the voice, "and
the last one was a duck."
He passed out.

Two nuns were shopping at a 7-11 store. As they passed
by the beer cooler, one nun said to the other, "Wouldn't
a nice cool beer or two taste wonderful on a hot summer
evening?"
The second nun answered, "Indeed it would, sister. But I
would not feel comfortable buying beer, since I am
certain it would cause a scene at the checkout stand."
"I can handle that without a problem," the other nun
replied. Then she picked up a six-pack and headed for
the check-out. The cashier had a surprised look on his
face when the two nuns arrived with a six-pack of beer.
"We use beer for washing our hair," the nun said. "Back
at our nunnery, we call it catholic shampoo."
Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the
counter, pulled out a package of pretzel sticks, and
placed them in the bag with the beer. He then looked the
nun straight in the eye, smiled, and said: "The curlers
are on the house."

Arkansas elementary school teacher arrested
for giving alcohol to minors
A Sherwood elementary school teacher accused of giving
alcohol to more than 30 minors at an after-prom party has
been suspended, a district spokesman said Monday.
Marcie Duncan, 48, who works at William Jefferson Clinton
Elementary School, is suspended pending an internal
investigation in accordance with district policy, Deb
Roush of the Pulaski County Special School District said.
Duncan teaches fourth grade and has worked at the school
for eight years, according to the school's website.
Duncan was arrested Sunday and charged with 33 counts of
contributing to the delinquency of a minor, 33 counts of
furnishing alcohol to a minor, two counts of third-degree
endangering the welfare of a minor and violation of the
Arkansas Social Host Law, according to information
provided by the Lonoke County jail.
Deputies arrested Duncan after they responded around 4
a.m. to a party on her family's property near West
Lewisburg Road, Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley said.
They found several empty alcohol containers as well as a
full-sized keg.
Duncan, who appeared intoxicated while talking to police,
said she had "everything under control" and didn't see a
problem because she had been there the entire night
making sure everyone was OK, according to a news release
from the sheriff's office.
Staley said that several intoxicated students between the
ages of 15 and 18 were passed out throughout the
premises. Others tried to hide in the nearby woods or
escape in their cars, he said.
Deputies called students' parents as well as an ambulance
for those who were extremely intoxicated, Staley said.
None was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Duncan was released from the Lonoke County jail Sunday on
a $21,000 bond, the sheriff said Monday.
4th grade, 15 - 18 years old and driving their own pick-
ups? Must be Arkansas

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Sweet Potato Fries
This is the easiest way I've found to make sweet potato
(or any other type of) fries.
Ingredients:
sweet potato (1 or enough to serve your family/guests)
Italian dressing (I use bottled "house" Italian)
pepper (to taste)
paprika (to taste)
The Italian dressing takes care of most of the
seasonings, and I do not need to add any more salt.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan with
aluminum foil for easy clean up.
Wash sweet potato and cut into quarter inch fries (I
leave the skin on). Drizzle Italian dressing lightly over
fries. The amount you use will depend on the number of
potatoes you are serving. Sprinkle with seasonings (to
taste). Toss lightly with your fingers to coat all the
potatoes, then spread flat in one layer the cookie sheet.
Bake for 20-30 minutes to desired crispness. Serve with
Ranch dressing as a dip.
Source: I saw something similar for regular potatoes in a
magazine several years ago. Finally tried it with the
sweet potato fries. Yum!

Various organizational philosophies explained in "two
cow" terms.
Socialism: You have two cows. You keep one
and give one to your neighbor.
Communism: You have two cows. The government takes them
both and provides you with milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes them and
sells you the milk.
Bureaucracy: You have two cows. The government takes them
both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the
milk, and then pours it down the drain.
Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a
bull.
Corporate: You have two cows. You sell one, force the
other to produce the milk of four cows and then act
surprised when it drops dead.
Democratic: You have two cows. The government taxes you
to the point that you must sell them both in order to
support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow
which was a gift from your government.
Conservative: You have two cows. You hide one in the back
yard and sell the milk from it to neighbors for cash to
raise the money to pay for the tax on the front yard cow.
California: You have two cows and paint minority rights
slogans onto them. The government gives you two more
cows.
New York: You have two cows. You sell one cow so that you
can afford to send the other one to an off-shore farm on
an island that you can't find on the map.

about a table watching a little show. On the table was
an upside-down pot and a duck tap dancing on it.
The circus owner was so impressed that he offered to buy
the duck from its owner. After some wheeling and dealing
they settled for $10,000 for the duck and the pot.
Three days later the circus owner runs back to the bar in
anger, "Your duck is a rip-off! I put him on the pot
before a whole audience and he didn't dance a single
step!"
"That's strange" said the duck's former owner,
"did you remember to light the candle under the pot?"

Man arrives at job interview for a taxi
company drunk and hits 2 cars in the parking lot before
going inside for his interview. Ryan William Dickson, is
arrested for drunk driving in Des Moines, Iowa.
A Des Moines man was arrested Monday after he allegedly
drove himself drunk to an interview with a taxi cab
company, hitting parked cars in the lot.
Ryan William Dickson, 39, arrived for his interview with
Trans Iowa, a taxicab and shuttle company on Army Post
Road, at 9:25 a.m., but had a little trouble parking.
That’s likely because he blew a .273 on a preliminary
breath test, which is three-times the legal limit to
drive, according to a police report.
A woman on her smoke break saw Dickson trying to
maneuver into a parking space, but hit an adjacent car
while he was backing up, the report states.
Dickson straightened out and pulled into the space, but
he crashed into the car in front of him.
At first, Dickson told police he hadn’t been drinking,
but admitted it later.
He said he’d stopped drinking around 2 that morning and
went to the hospital for his alcohol consumption. The
hospital released him at about 8 a.m., Dickson said, but
he drank another fifth of vodka afterward, the report
states.
When police asked him to complete a walk and turn test
at the scene, Dickson began to fall and had to be caught
by officers. He said he couldn’t complete the rest of
the field sobriety test.
He was arrested for operating while intoxicated and
booked into the Polk County Jail, but was released later
that day.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Kentucky Style Fried Chicken
Found this at "The Cooking Nook".
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 - 3 eggs, beaten
3 - 4 Tbsp. oil for frying
Coating Mixture:
2 cups flour
4 tsp. paprika
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 - 1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. tarragon
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 t. onion salt
1/2 tsp. celery salt
Directions
Mix together all the coating ingredients and place in a
clean plastic bag. Dip each piece into beaten egg, then
into the flour mixture in the bag. Coat the chicken
completely with the flour mixture.
Place the oil in a skillet and heat. Brown the chicken in
oil slowly (225 degrees F, if you are using an electric
skillet), uncovered. Cover the skillet and continue to
fry at a very low heat until the chicken is fully cooked,
approximately 1 hour.
Drain well on paper towels.
Tips and Variations:
This recipe can be prepared using a deep fryer and is
actually perfect for the fryer. Follow the directions on
your fryer. Make sure your oil is hot before adding the
chicken. The chicken shouldn't be greasy when it is
cooked in hot oil, but if the oil is cool, it will absorb
the grease.

resident as he fled the scene
A burglar who broke into an Indiana man's garage two
years ago has sued the homeowner for shooting him during
the incident.
David Bailey, now 31, of Albany, Indiana, broke into
David McLaughlin's Dunkirk garage on April 21, 2014,
authorities said.
McLaughlin, now 33, fired gunshots at the intruder as he
fled, hitting Bailey in the left arm as he ran through an
alley.
Bailey's lawsuit, which was filed last week against
McLaughlin, asks for 'a monetary award in an amount
sufficient to compensate (Bailey) for all damages',
according to KSDK.

RE: Driver Updates
Dear Webby
Our consultant tried to sell us a program that backs up
all the drivers for printers and so on. Do we really
need that?
Brie
Dear Brie
I used to back up drivers but found that to be a silly
nuisance.
Some of them won't install properly unless installed from
the CD that came with the device they are for, and some
have become obsolete. For example, if you send a printer
to the garage sale and get a new one, do you really
bother to get rid of the driver for the old one? The same
goes for fax programs. Each one that you try and discard
leaves behind a driver. That of course leads to a
dangerous accumulation of drivers that may or may not
interfere with each other or other programs. At best they
waste time during start-up, at worst they prevent
programs or devices from operating as well as they
should.
Drivers are easy enough to download from the
manufacturers web site, and if you get a CD with a new
device, store that in a ziplock bag taped to the side of
the computer or desk. That way, if you replace the
harddrive or the computer, you got everything handy.
Have FUN!

At 75 Millie still walked down to the park every day, sat
on "HER" bench and fed old bread from the old folks home
kitchen to the birds.
One day she picked up a whole loaf that had gone past
it's prime instead of the buns she usually got.
Little by little, pinch by pinch, she fed each bird with
joy. She sat there without being noticed by anyone in the
rich suburban neighborhood.
Then suddenly a man in his early 40's rained on her
parade by telling her that she shouldn't throw away
good food on a bunch of dumb birds that could find food
anywhere when there are a lot of people starving in
Africa.
She smiled at him and exclaimed:" That is an excellent
idea!"
Then she handed him the half loaf of bread she still had,
and said: "Here, you bring it to them."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Kentucky Style Fried Chicken
Found this at "The Cooking Nook".
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 - 3 eggs, beaten
3 - 4 Tbsp. oil for frying
Coating Mixture:
2 cups flour
4 tsp. paprika
2 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 - 1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. tarragon
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 t. onion salt
1/2 tsp. celery salt
Directions
Mix together all the coating ingredients and place in a
clean plastic bag. Dip each piece into beaten egg, then
into the flour mixture in the bag. Coat the chicken
completely with the flour mixture.
Place the oil in a skillet and heat. Brown the chicken in
oil slowly (225 degrees F, if you are using an electric
skillet), uncovered. Cover the skillet and continue to
fry at a very low heat until the chicken is fully cooked,
approximately 1 hour.
Drain well on paper towels.
Tips and Variations:
This recipe can be prepared using a deep fryer and is
actually perfect for the fryer. Follow the directions on
your fryer. Make sure your oil is hot before adding the
chicken. The chicken shouldn't be greasy when it is
cooked in hot oil, but if the oil is cool, it will absorb
the grease.

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at the saloon for a
drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of
picking on newcomers. When he finished, he found his
horse had been stolen.
He comes back into the bar, handily flips his gun into
the air, catches it above his head without even looking
and fires a shot into the ceiling. "Who stole my horse?"
he yelled with surprising forcefulness.
No one answered.
"I'm gonna have another beer and if my horse ain't back
outside by the time I'm finished, I'm gonna do what I dun
back in Texas and I don't want to have to do what I dun
back in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly.
He had another beer, walked outside, and his horse was
back! He saddled up and started to ride out of town.
The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked,
"Say partner, what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back and said, "I walked home."

20
High Point,
North Carolina
NC man arrested when he tried to pay
bail with counterfeit money
A 20-year-old High Point man's bail jumped from $200 to
$2,000 tonight after authorities added charges that he
tried to pay his original bail with counterfeit money.
Magistrates said it all started when Jarious Treymayne
Mock
of 728 Forrest St. walked out of a Greensboro night club,
saw
nearby police officers and yelled, “Screw the police,”
but in
a more graphic manner.
That got the Greensboro officers’ attention, magistrates
said.
The officers ran a check on Mock and found he was wanted
on a
warrant on a charge of failing to appear in court, a
charge
that normally carries a $200 bail.
As he was processed in the Guilford County jail, officers
asked him if he’d like to pay his bail with cash in his
wallet. He agreed and officers pulled money out of the
wallet. Authorities said a $100 bill and a $20 bill from
the
wallet were both counterfeit.
Mock now faces a charge of possession of a counterfeit
instrument or currency. He remains in the Guilford County
jail. His bail is now $2,000.

Dear Webby
my day would not be complete with out the Humor Letter, I
love it, thanks for sending it to me. I have a problem, I
recently sign up for SBC DSL and after installing the
software for it, I now receive the following message
every time I boot my computer:
"Enter your network password for Microsoft Networking",
I haven't put in a password because I don't want that
message to come up every time the computer is booted. Can
you tell me what to do to get rid of the message, so I
don't have to click cancel every time I boot?
Thank you for your help.
Don
Dear Don
Try this:
Click the Start menu, mouse over Settings, then click the
control panel.
Double-click the Network icon.
Under "Primary Network Logon," selected the "Microsoft
Network Logon." Depending on your version and set-up,
you may have to mouse around a bit there till you find
the spot to give the primary network user a name. Any
short nickname usually does the trick.
After restarting, when the logon window comes up, enter
that user name, leave the password blank, and hit Enter.
When your computer asks you to confirm that blank
password, hit Enter again.
After that, you should never see the logon screen again.
That blank password trick does not work when the user
has not been given a name.
Have FUN!

Recycled Drink Bottle for Watering Seeds
By ShirleyE [71 Posts, 53 Comments]
Seeds and seedlings of course need watering carefully so they
don't get battered or washed about. If you don't have a small
watering can you can use a drink bottle.
Carefully make holes in the lid. This is best done with a
drill bit, but if you don't possess a drill you can use
pointed scissors. Be very careful if using scissors as they
can slip or pierce quite suddenly and injure you. Make sure
you use a wooden board and press the scissor point directly
downwards.
Now you can fill the bottle, replace the lid and use it like
a watering can.
Do yourself a favor and use a nail to poke the holes.
Scissors tend to suddenly close and hurt you. Nails won't
do that.
By the way, if you don't have a hammer, use a package of
frozen ground meat as a hammer, not an expensive shoe!
Have FUN!

Dear Webby, at one time you had some funny description
of men and women as if they were chemical elements. Do
you still have those and could you run them again?
Please and Thank You
Jenni===
Here they are:
"Periodic Elements"
Valuable scientific data. Two proposed new additions to the
periodic table (from Chemistry class)elements:
Element Name: WOMAN
Symbol: WO
Atomic Weight: (don't even go there)
Physical properties: Generally round in form. Boils at
nothing
and may freeze at any time. Melts whenever treated properly.
Very bitter if mishandled.
Chemical properties: Very active. Highly unstable. Possesses
strong affinity with gold, silver, platinum, and precious
stones.
Volatile when left alone. Able to absorb great amounts of
exotic food. Turns slightly green when placed next to a
shinier specimen.
Usage: Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for
dispersion of wealth. Probably the most powerful income
reducing agent known.
Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands.
Element Name: MAN
Symbol: XY
Atomic Weight: (180+/-50)
Physical properties: Solid at room temperature, but gets
bent out of shape easily. Fairly dense and sometimes flaky.
Difficult to find a pure sample.
Due to rust, aging samples are unable to conduct electricity
as easily as young samples.
Chemical properties: Attempts to bond with WO any
chance it can get. Also tends to form strong bonds with
itself.
Becomes explosive when mixed with KD (Element: Child)
for prolonged period of time.
Neutralize by saturating with alcohol.
Usage: Good methane source. Some specimens are able
to produce large quantities especially at inappropriate
times.
Caution: In the absence of WO, this element rapidly
decomposes and begins to smell.

A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle.
He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened it.
A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out.
The genie said, "For your kindness I will grant you a wish,
but only one - none of that three wishes jazz, OK?"
The man thought for a minute and said, "Well, I have always
wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been able to because
I'm afraid of flying, and ships make me claustrophobic and
ill.
So, I wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii."
The genie was taken aback a bit, but after some thought said,
"No, I don't think I can do that; think about the pilings
needed
to hold up the highway and how deep they would have to be
to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement
and steal and concrete that would be needed. I'm sorry, you
will have to choose another wish."
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie,
"There is one other thing that I have always wanted. I would
like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh
and cry, why do they get upset at us so easily, what are
their true desires and needs? What do they mean when they say
"Nothing!". Basically what makes them tick?!"
The genie stared at him and blinked a couple times.
"So, do you want two lanes or four?"

Markia Cherise Williams,

Willington,
Pennsylvania
PA woman arrested after she was found with
counterfeit credit cards, fake IDs and erratically
driving a $125,000 BMW, that was not hers.
Connecticut State Police arrested a Pennsylvania woman on
identity theft charges after they stopped a 2016 BMW they
said may have been purchased fraudulently.
Officers arrested Markia Cherise Williams, 19, after police
observed her driving erratically on I-84 in Willington
Sunday, April 24, 2016 around 4 p.m.
When they stopped the BMW X6 M-series, valued at $125,000,
they found counterfeit credit cards and numerous fake IDs
from Connecticut, Rhode Island and Florida, according to
police. Her passenger had no identification.
On paper, the car was purchased in New Jersey a week earlier
by someone who lived in Virginia – but police believe that
person’s identity may have been stolen to finance the luxury
car.
Police reported finding a slew of credit cards, bills and
drivers licenses from several states in her possession.
Neither the driver nor the passenger could explain how they
ended up in the vehicle or where the registered owner was.
Williams was charged with traveling at an unreasonable
speed, credit card theft (five counts), credit card
counterfeiting (five counts), identity theft (six counts),
and forgery (six counts). The male passenger was not charged
at the time, but police said they were still investigating.
She is held on $15,000 bond.

RE: Adding a wireless laptop to a wired network
Dear Webby
..here's one for you.
While I'm pretty well versed with computers in general, as
far as networks and sharing goes, I'm a complete moron.
My MAIN computer is the desktop here, hardwired into the
cable modem. It has all the files on it I need to maintain.
My new laptop is wireless and in the living room.
Is it possible to set up some"thing" where the laptop can
access the files that are on the desktop and update them
THERE? Or am I just wishing on a star?
Love, Donna
UPDATE ============
As luck would have it, all the research I did, all the help
and instructions you gave me, (the stonecarvers was going to
be my last shot because the button on the modem also controls
my TV wireless and a wifi extender)...the answer turned out
to be RIDICULOUSLY SIMPLE.
While on the phone with Time Warner yesterday with a cable TV
related issue, he asked if he could help with anything else,
and I jokingly mentioned the networking issue (figuring of
course the TV tech support knew nothing of computer issues.)
He gave me a password from Time Warner, and told me to start
with the LAPTOP, since it was the "alien being" to the modem
instead of starting with the desktop, when creating the Home
Network.
Well, sure enough, I created the Home Network on the Laptop
(which gave me a different password) (and yes, the wi fi
extender and the wi fi have passwords as well), then I came
in HERE to the main computer, the desktop and added IT to the
homegroup created by the "alien" laptop, entered the password
and VOILA! I even went back to the laptop and successfully
accessed files in HERE which was my main objective.
So that might be something you want to note for Windoze 10
(which I know you just LOVE)....start with the NEW computer,
create the Network, then add the ORIGINAL computer.
Thanks for all your help...I LOVE the stonecarvers work.
(and as always..hehehe)

Donna

and Christmas dinner because of the bright colour to add a
little umph to the plate. Now that I make cranberry salsa,
it's all about the amazing sweet, salty, spicy flavour! I get
asked for this recipe ALL the time. I hope you enjoy it, too!
Approximate Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1 pkg (12 oz) fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 apple
2 limes
2 Tbsp water
3 green onions
1 jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
salt and sugar to taste
Steps:
Empty your cranberries into a saucepan.
Transfer 1/2 a cup of them to a bowl.
Peel off a couple strips of zest from one of the limes, drop
in with cranberries. Add the sugar and water to the pan and
cook over low heat. Stir occasionally, cooking for about 10
minutes until the sugar melts and the cranberries are soft.
Increase the heat to medium and let the cranberries burst.
This takes about 5 minutes.
While that's cooking down, peel and chop the 1/2 apple and
coarsely chop reserved cranberries. Reduce heat to low and
add to the pot. Stir for 2 minutes.
Turn off heat and add lime juice. Chop your jalapeno and
green onions, add to pot. Season with salt and sugar to
taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Before serving, add chopped cilantro and mix well. Enjoy!

2 arrested after child found in hot car
outside Nashville strip club
A mother and her friend are facing charges after her child
was found in a hot car outside a Nashville strip club.
Police said they found the 9-month-old inside a PT Cruiser
outside Deja Vu on Demonbreun Street at 4 p.m. Thursday.
The responding officer talked to the mother's friend, Summer
Taylor, who said she was helping to keep an eye on the child
while her mother was on the stage stripping for an audition.
Taylor said she had been coming outside to check on the
child, but witnesses said Taylor never left the strip club.
Two witnesses told police both women had been inside the
strip club for at least 30 minutes before officers
responded.
According to the affidavit, all the windows in the car were
rolled up. Police said the child was wearing a medium to
heavy coat and was "drenched in sweat."
At the time, temperatures outside were 70 degrees. In the
affidavit, police estimated it may have been up to 101
degrees inside the vehicle.
The girl was rushed to the hospital and is now in the care
of the Tennessee Department of Children's Services.
Police said the child's mother, Kelsey McMurtry, lied to
them about her name. She reportedly had an outstanding
warrant.
Both McMurtry and Taylor have been charged with child
neglect. McMurtry was also charged with criminal
impersonation.
Purnima Unni is the Pediatric Trauma Injury Prevention
manager at Vanderbilt. She said most of the time parents
don’t mean to hurt their children. It is usually an
accident.
“There is no time that is an acceptable time for a child to
be left alone in a car. It’s as simple as that,” Unni said.
With warmer temperatures on the way, medical professionals
wanted to remind parents to be aware.
Last year, 24 children were killed after being left in
hot cars. Two have already died this year.
“The child’s body temperature rises three to five times
faster and higher than an adult,” Unni said. “So 104
degrees, you find the internal organs of the child begin to
shut down. And when it’s 107 degrees, we can see near
death.”

Goodman was a moderately successful stockbroker who

in order to impress on him the possibilities of the

"Look at that yacht," he said as they drove slowly
past a marina. "That 96' beauty belongs to the senior
partner at Merrill Lynch. That one over there 104'
is owned by the head of Goldman, Sachs. And look
at that huge 210' yacht out there. That's the pride
and joy of the top seller at Prudential-Bache."
His friend Morris was silent. Goodman turned to look
at him and saw a pained look on his face.
"What's the matter?" Goodman asked.
"That economy rowboat rental down there beside the marina,
" Morris said,. "is that for the people they have sold to?"

The congregation of a small stone church decided that the
stone which formed the step up to the front door had become
too worn by its years of use, and would have to be replaced.
Unfortunately, there were hardly any funds available for the
replacement. Then someone came up with the bright idea that
the replacement could be postponed for many years by simply
turning the block of stone over.
They discovered that their great-grandparents had beaten
them to it and had already done that once.

There is a story about a monastery in Europe perched high on
a cliff several hundred feet in the air.
The only way to reach the monastery was to be suspended in a
basket which was pulled to the top by several monks who
pulled and tugged with all their strength.
Obviously the ride up the steep cliff in that basket was
terrifying. One tourist got exceedingly nervous about
half-way up as he noticed that the rope by which he was
suspended was old and frayed.
With a trembling voice he asked the monk who was riding
with him in the basket how often they changed the rope. The
monk thought for a moment and answered brusquely, "Whenever
it breaks."

Woman with .708 Blood Alcohol
in stolen truck arrested in South Dakota
The South Dakota woman recorded a mind-boggling .708 blood
alcohol content after being arrested earlier this month when
a state trooper found her passed out behind the wheel of a
stolen truck.
Engle's whopping BAC was measured by a Rapid City Police
Department chemist who tested a blood sample drawn from
Engle.
Engle is pictured above in a mug shot taken earlier this
year after she was arrested for assaulting a government
employee and being intoxicated and disruptive. Engle was
named in a two-count South Dakota Magistrate Court
indictment charging her with driving under the influence and
driving with a BAC beyond the .08 limit.
A traffic ticket issued to Engle notes that she "bonded out-
hospitalized" after being collared in Sturgis just before
noon on December 1. Engle is also facing charges in
connection with her possession of the stolen vehicle.

My mother's health is not good and I want her to have the
absolute simplest way to page me. She forgets to get off-
line and figures the line is busy when she tries to call me
and so doesn't even try using her cell phone.
Is there a way to make a desktop icon that will start a mail
to my pager, with the subject line already filled in?
Thanks
Carol
Dear Carol
Yes, there is a way. On her machine go into her browser,
click on bookmarks or favorites and find some old and
obsolete bookmark. Right-click it and select Properties.
Change the name of the bookmark to "ET CALL HOME"
or something like that. Then in the URL slot, replace what
is there with
mailto:cell-email-address@domain.com?subject="CALL MOM"
Of course, instead of "cell-email-address@domain.com" you
use your actual pager or cellphone email address.
Hit OK.
Then go into her bookmarks again, find the "ET CALL HOME"
bookmark, right-click it, choose SEND TO, and send it to the
desktop.
That will make a desktop shortcut icon.
Find the icon and change the icon picture to one that is
different from all the others and easily recognizable,
then drag the icon to the top left or right corner where it
is easy to find.
Clicking that icon will open the mail program, start a new
mail, fill in your cellphone or pager email address, fill in
the subject line, and all she has to do is click on SEND and
your phone will start beeping and show her address and the
subject line.

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 a magazine 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."

Anthony Waller,
39,
Jonesboro,
Arkansas
Wife turns in Pastor after finding child
pornography on their computer. Anthony Waller also raped two
girls at the First Ass. Church of God in Jonesboro,
Arkansas.
Arkansas pastor whose wife discovered his horrendous child
porn collection will serve two life sentences over the rape
of girls at his church
Anthony Waller, 39, raped two girls at the First Assembly
Church of God in Jonesboro, Arkansas
His wife found pornographic images on his computer and told
police
He was then found to have raped two girls in the bathroom at
the church and also in other locations
Waller is also facing charges of video voyeurism and child
pornography
A disgraced Arkansas pastor who was charged with the rape of
two girls after his wife discovered his shocking collection
of child pornography on their laptop, will serve two life
sentences in prison.
Anthony Waller, 39, was given no chance of parole after
pleading guilty to two counts of rape on Tuesday, according
to the Jonesboro Sun.
The former children's pastor committed the offences while an
employee at the First Assembly of God Church in Jonesboro,
Arkansas, about 70 miles north-west of Memphis, Tennessee.
The court heard Waller raped the girls in the bathroom of
the church and at other locations.
In addition to the rape charges, Waller still faces 50
counts of video voyeurism and one count of child
pornography.
Waller began working at the church in 1999, but his crimes
were only discovered when his wife Angela found disturbing
images of young girls on a computer they shared.
After confronting her husband over what she had found, Mrs
Waller handed the images over to police.
Police praised the decision of Mrs Waller in what they
described as one of the biggest child pornography cases
they'd seen.
A police detective testified to finding 400,000 images of
child pornography and videos of young females inside the
church bathroom on an external hard drive of Waller's.
The detective says he found holes in the ceiling of the
church bathroom and a place for a hidden camera nearby.
In 2015, Waller told officers 'he had been addicted to child
pornography for over 20 years'.

RE: Multiple outlet bars
Dear Webby
I needed more electrical outlets for all the gadgets that
connect to the laptop, so I got a second plug strip and
plugged that into the first one. Everything worked fine, but
when a friend of mine saw that, he freaked out and told me I
would burn the house down by doing that.
Both plug strips have surge protectors and little overload
breakers, and the wall socket is also protected with a
breaker at the panel. His explanation didn't make sense to
me but he was dead serious. Is there anything I don't know
about and that I should worry about ?
Ramona
Dear Ramona
Except for your choice of friends, what you are doing is
perfectly OK and absolutely nothing to worry about. The
power used by all those gadgets doesn't amount to much. Most
likely all of them together plus your laptop use less than
a quarter of what a hair dryer would use.
As long as you don't plug in kitchen appliances, hair dryers
and vacuum cleaners like that, you have absolutely nothing
to worry about. If you do, you will pop a breaker. However,
in a normally wired building, nothing will overheat.
Have FUN!

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall.
They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but
especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart
and back together again.
The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?"
The father responded "Son, I have never seen anything like
this in my life, I don't know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an
old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and
pressed a button.
The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a
small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father
watched small circles of lights above the walls light up.
They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse
direction.
The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24 year old
woman stepped out.
The father said to his son, "Go get Mother !"

Here is a joke that keeps coming back to me:
A radical feminist is getting on a bus when, just in front
of her, a man gets up from his seat.
She thinks to herself, "Here's another man trying to keep up
the customs of a patriarchal society by offering a poor,
defenseless woman his seat," so she pushes him back onto the
seat.
A few minutes later, the man tries to get up again. She is
still insulted so she refuses to let him up again.
Finally, the man says, "Look, lady, you've got to let me get
up. I'm twelve blocks past my stop already."

That remids me..
At a a crowded and busy bus stop, a woman wearing a tight
leather skirt was waiting for a bus. As the bus stopped and
it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt
was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of
the first step of the bus.
Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus
driver, she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little,
thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her
leg.
Again, she tried to make the step only to discover she still
couldn't. So, a little more embarrassed, she once again
reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little more, and for
the second time attempted the step, and, once again, much to
her chagrin, she could not raise her leg.
With little smile to the driver, she again reached behind to
unzip a little more and again was unable to make the step.
About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her
picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on
the top step of the bus.
She went ballistic and turned to the would-be Samaritan and
screamed, "How dare you touch my body! I don't even know
who you are!"
The Texan smiled and drawled, "Well, ma'am, normally I would
agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times,
I kinda figured we was friends."
__________________________________________________
And that reminds me of ANOTHER bus joke:
Reverend George had minor surgery after a bad accident and
gets on the bus to get back to the rectory. He looks quite
bedraggled and more like he had been in a bar fight than
being hit by a cab, and is still a bit groggy from the
anesthetic.
He staggers up the aisle, and sits down next to an elderly
woman. She looks Reverend George up and down and
screeches at him:
"I've got news for you. You're going straight to hell!"
The Reverend George jumps up out of his seat and shouts:
"Hold it, driver!
I'm on the wrong bus! I don't wanna go where SHE goes!"

An old blacksmith realized he was soon going to quit working
so hard. He picked out a strong young man to become his
apprentice.
The old fellow was crabby and exacting. "Don't ask me a lot
of questions," he told the boy. "Just do whatever I tell you
to do."
One day the old blacksmith took a nicely glowing piece of
iron out of the forge and with his long metal tongs held it
it over the horn of the anvil. "Get the hammer over there,"
he said.
"When I nod my head, hit it real good and hard."
Now the town is looking for a new blacksmith....

Cedar Hill,
Texas
Texas Youth Pastor Beaten by Witnesses Who
Caught Him Sexually Assaulting Kindergartner
Police arrested Willie Lee Bell Jr., 29, a children’s
minister at First United Church of Cedar Hill, after he was
reportedly caught molesting a 6-year-old.
Witnesses beat a Texas youth pastor whom they allegedly
caught sexually assaulting a 6-year-old he had lured behind
an apartment building. The report did not state how
thoroughly the pastor was beat up, but he was not able to
limp away when the police finally showed up.
Police arrested Willie Lee Bell Jr., 29, a children's
minister at First United Methodist Church in Cedar Hill, on
Thursday, Fox 4 News reports. According to the news station,
Bell's recent arrest was not the first time the youth pastor
has been charged with sexual assault. He's currently facing
two charges of sexually assaulting little boys at a Dallas
apartment in February. The two boys reportedly told police
that they were abused behind an apartment complex. The boys
said that the man was wearing "church shoes."
Despite those charges, Fox 4 reports that Bell continued
working around children at the church until his most recent
arrest.
"It's painful. It's devastating. It's a nightmare," the mom
of the most recent alleged victim, who did not want to be
iden
tified, told the news station. She said that she doesn't
know Bell and nor does her family, adding that her son was
outside playing when Bell lured him behind an apartment
building. Bystanders noticed Bell and the child behind the
building and attacked him. Police were called and arrested
Bell.
"If it wasn't for them, he probably would have done more to
my child," the mom said.
United Methodist Church of North Texas issued a statement to
Fox 4 noting that it had "no knowledge of any criminal acts
happening at the church, and that it is cooperating with
police."

RE: Cleaning a keyboard
Dear Webby
What is the best way to clean a keyboard?
My husband's keyboard is starting to look utterly
disgusting with everything from pizza to cake permanently
attached to it.
Thanks
Ellen
Dear Ellen
Whack it upside down on a newspaper covered table or
sidewalk to shake crumbs and paperclips and French Fries
out.
Then take a soft bath sponge and hot soapy water and while
somebody holds the keyboard upside down, scrub it thoroughly
with the sponge.
After that, just let it drip dry in the sun.
If you scrubbed hard enough, it will be like new.
Have FUN!

Maurice Phillips,

Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania father arrested after 'recklessly'
waving gun and killing 4 year old daughter
Authorities allege that a Philadelphia father was "carelessly
and recklessly" waving a gun around a bedroom with seven
children present when it went off, killing his 4-year-old
daughter.
Thirty-year-old Maurice Phillips is charged with third-degree
murder, involuntary manslaughter, child endangerment and
reckless endangerment in Saturday's death of 4-year-old
Tahirah Phillips.
Homicide division Capt. James Clark said Monday the girl and
her six siblings were watching television when Phillips came
in and started waving the weapon around. It discharged and
hit the girl in the back of the head.
Police allege that Phillips then struck his 5-year-old
daughter and wiped blood onto her shirt in an apparent effort
to shift blame. Police previously believed the girl's 5-year-
old sibling was the shooter. Phillips fled but later turned
himself in and ultimately confessed.

An old fellow came into the hospital truly on death's door
due to an infected gallbladder. The surgeon who removed the
gallbladder was adamant that his patients be up and walking
in the hall the day after surgery, to help prevent blood
clots forming in the leg veins.
Once an hour the nurses walked the patient in the hall, a
nurses aide on each side with his arms over their sholders.
Behind them the floor nurse stomped along, gesticulating with
all kinds of fearsome devices and explaining just what kind
of enema he would need if he stopped walking.
After a week, the patient was ready to go home. His family
came to pick him up and thanked the surgeon profusely
for what he had done for their father. The surgeon was
pleased and appreciated the thanks, but told them that it was
really a simple operation but that they had been lucky to
get
him to the hospital in time.
"But doctor, you don't understand," his daughter said,
"Dad hasn't walked in over five years!"

A kind-hearted fellow was walking through Central Park in New
York and was astonished to see an old man, fishing rod in
hand, fishing over a beautiful bed of red roses.
"Tsk Tsk!" said the passerby to himself. "What a sad sight.
That poor old man is fishing over a bed of flowers. I'll see
if I can help."
So the kind fellow walked up to the old man and asked,
"What are you doing, my friend?"
"Fishin', sir."
"Fishin', eh. Well how would you like to come have a drink
with me?"
The old man stood put his rod away and followed the kind
stranger to the corner bar. He ordered a large glass of vodka
and a fine cigar.
His host, the kind fellow, felt good about helping the old
man, and he asked, "Tell me, old friend, how many did you
catch today ?"
The old fellow took a long drag on the cigar, blew a careful
smoke ring and replied, "You are the sixth today, sir!"

Brian Primm
39,
Madison,
Wisconsin
Wisconsin man reports car stolen,
is arrested for drunk driving for the 4th time.
Brian Primm was pulled over for speeding in his own car.
A Madison man who reported his car stolen was later
arrested for his fourth operating while intoxicated
offense early Thursday morning.
According to a release from the Madison Police
Department, an officer spent over six minutes on the
phone talking to 39-year-old Brian M. Primm after he had
called 911 around 1:00 a.m. to report his car stolen.
Primm told the officer that he last saw his car parked
in the 100 block of W. Dayton Street.
Police said UW-Madison Police officers executed a high-
risk traffic stop around 1:40 a.m. near N. Breese
Terrace after they spotted Primm's car because they
believed the person behind the wheel was a thief. It
turned out to be the car's owner, Primm.
Primm failed to call police back and let them know he
had found his car. When Primm was asked why he had not
called back to let authorities know he had found his
car, he shrugged his shoulders. Apparently he was too
embarassed to admit that it was where he had parked it.

RE: Virtual drive
Dear Webby
I read once that there is a way to declare a deep down
and difficult to get to folder in Explore as a virtual
drive. How is that done in W7 ?
Dear Adamo
In the days of DOS that would have taken 2 seconds to
do. In Windows 7 it's way more work and hassle than it's
worth. There is a workaround though.
Put your mouse on a free spot on the deskto,
right-click, NEW, Shortcut,
navigate to that "deep down and difficult to get to" folder,
click OK, then give it a short nickname,
click OK, and you have a shortcut right from your desktop
into an Explorer window pre-set to that location.
If you put an e xclamation mark at the front of the name of
that shortcut, for example !-in-from-Skype, then it will
sort alphabetically on top in Explorer.
If you have a number of those and use them for example
for sorting ind weeding out music or pictures, you could
make a desktop folder and call that "Weeding", and drag
all of them into that "Weeding" task folder.
Have FUN!

Spray Nozzle for Dish Soap Container
By KIM HOGGAN [35 Posts, 61 Comments]
Here is a way to control how much soap comes out of your
dish soap container. Get a sturdy spray nozzle from an old
bottle and just screw it on. Make the adjustment as to how
stong or soft you want the spray to be. You will save soap,
plus it will spray out more evenly over dishes.

Before our daughter went off to college, our family took
a vacation in Colorado. So we flew to Denver and rented
a car. We visited the Royal Gorge Bridge, which is more
than 1000 feet above the Arkansas River.
Walking out onto the bridge, I noticed it swaying in the
wind. Then a car went past us, and the wood-plank
roadway moved beneath my feet. "I don't think I want to
drive the car across this bridge," I finally said.
"What are you worried about?" our daughter replied.

Beautiful full moon out!
It is still warm out too, but not as hot as it was in the
afternoon. My Saskatoon bushes are about to burst into
bloom any day now, and the raspberries are showing tiny
green leaflets, reminding me to cut the old shoots and
restring the hay wire to bring in the new shoots, that
decided to shoot up outside the wire. As soon as I find
my garden snips, or when the UFOs that borrowed them,
bring them back, I'll do that.

Keep in mind that in Australia this is the hot season.
The weather was very hot, so this preacher wanted
desperately to take a dive in the nearby lake. He didn't
bring his swimming outfit, but who cared? He was all alone.
So, he undressed and got into the water. After some
delightful minutes of cool swimming, a pair of old ladies
walked onto the shore in his direction.
He panicked, got out of the water and grabbed a bucket,
which lay on the sandy beach. He held the bucket in front of
his private parts and sighed with relief.
The ladies got nearby and looked at him. He felt awkward and
wanted to move.
Then one of the ladies said, "You know, I have a special
gift, I can read minds."
"Impossible," said the embarrassed preacher,
"You really know what I'm thinking?"
"Yes," the lady replied, "I know that you think that the
bucket you're holding in front of you has a bottom in it."

Marina Lonina,
18,
Franklin County,
Ohio
Ohio woman charged with livestreaming rape of teen friend
A 17-year-old was raped by a man with whom she had been
drinking and her 18-year-old female friend livestreamed the
attack on the social media app Periscope, a prosecutor
said Wednesday in announcing a rape and kidnapping
indictment.
Authorities learned of the assault when an out-of-state
friend of the accused woman saw the images, Franklin County
Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said.
Marina Lonina and Raymond Gates, 29, were charged with
rape, kidnapping, sexual battery and pandering sexual
matter involving a minor. The rape charge involved
intercourse by force and was not related to the 17-year-
old's age, O'Brien said. Lonina was also charged with
illegal use of a minor in a nudity-oriented material or
performance.
Lonina and the victim were socializing with Gates at a home
in Columbus on Feb. 27 when Gates raped the 17-year-old,
O'Brien said.
Lonina had also livestreamed pictures of the girl in the
nude the night before at Lonina's house, he said.
Lonina "categorically denies these charges," said her
attorney Josh Bedtelyon.
Gates is scheduled for arraignment Friday. Court records
don't list an attorney for him who could comment on the
charges.
They each face up to 40 years in prison, if convicted.
O'Brien said the motive for the livestreaming was unclear,
but he said alcohol was a factor. Gates, Lonina and the
victim had all been drinking, he said.
"People need to know and understand that the use of a
smartphone to video events can constitute serious felony
crimes," O'Brien said. "They should think twice before they
use their smartphones to either photograph or video
anything that's of a sexual nature."

Stick with Chrome.
It is much more secure than Internet Explorer, and can do
everything it can do.
Even Microsoft agreed that Internet Explorer is to be
retired and forgotten, so they came up with Edge.
You CAN use Internet Explorer on W10, but keep in mind, it

Ajax for Water Spots
By ajbblondie1210 [1 Post]
My brother parks his car on the street and every night
the sprinklers go on. When he wakes up in the morning, he
has water spots on the right side of his car. He tried
washing his car but the spots would not come off. He also
tried Windex, white vinegar, brake cleaner, anything you
could think of!
Then my mom said, "Hey, try this Ajax!" With a little bit
of water, the spots came right off! So the trick is AJAX!
Hope this helps.

A husband and wife were involved in a petty argument, both
of them unwilling to admit they might be in error.
"I'll admit I'm wrong," the wife told her husband in a con-
ciliatory attempt, "if you'll admit I'm right."
He agreed and, like a gentleman, insisted she go first.
"I'm wrong," she said.
The last thing he remembers is saying: "You're right!"

The accident occurred mainly because I conceded to my wife's
wishes to adopt a cute little kitty.
Initially the new acquisition was no problem, but one
morning I was taking my shower when I heard my wife call
out to me from the kitchen. "The garbage disposal is dead.
Come reset it."
"You know where the button is," I protested through the
shower "You can reset it yourself!"
"I am scared!" She pleaded. "What if it starts going and
sucks me in?" (Pause) "C'mon, it'll only take a second."
So out I came, dripping wet and buck naked, hoping to make a
statement about how her cowardly behavior was not without
consequence.
I crouched down and stuck my head under the sink to find the
button. That is the last action I remember performing.
It struck without warning, without respect to my
circumstances.
Nay, it wasn't a hexed disposal drawing me into its gnashing
metal teeth. It was our new kitty, clawing playfully at the
dangling objects she spied between my legs. She had been
poised around the corner and stalked me as I took the bait
under the sink.
At precisely the second I was most vulnerable, she leapt
at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with her
needle-like kitten claws.
Wild animals are sometimes faced with a "fight or flight"
syndrome. Men, in this predicament, choose only the "flight"
option. The sink and cabinet bluntly impeded my ascent; the
impact knocked me out cold.
At the office, colleagues tried to coax an explanation out
of me. I kept silent, claiming it was too painful to talk.
"What's the matter, cat got your tongue?"
If they had only known.

Ben searches diligently throughout the thick underbrush
and suddenly he spots something shiny. As he gets closer,
he realizes that the shiny object is in fact an 8-iron in
the hands of a skeleton lying near an old golf ball.
Ben excitedly calls out to his golfing partner: "Hey
Thomas, come here, I got big trouble down here."
Thomas comes running over to the edge of the ravine and
calls out: "What's the matter Ben?"
Ben shouts back in a nervous voice: "Throw me my 7-iron!
Looks like you can't get out of here with an 8-iron."

The minister's little six-year-old girl had been so
naughty during the week, that her mother decided to give
her the worst kind of punishment. She told her she
couldn't go to the Sunday School Picnic on Saturday.
When the day came, her mother felt she had been too
harsh and changed her mind. When she told the little
girl she could go to the picnic, the child's reaction was
one of gloom and unhappiness.
"What's the matter? I thought you'd be glad to go to
the picnic." her mother said.
"It's too late!" the little girl said. "I've already
prayed for rain!"

"No," replied the lawyer, "the death of my client is suf-

"Be that as it may," replied the doctor, "the fact that
you handled his affairs is probably why he couldn't

RE: Copy pictures from Humor Letter
Dear Webby
I would like to copy some of the cool pictures you
put in your Humor Letter but can't figure out how to
print just the pic. without the rest of the letter.
When I right click I get a box with "copy" in it
but it don't work. Can you help?
tx.
Ron
Dear Ron
The COPY IMAGE command just copies the picture into the
clipboard memory.
Open a graphics program. ANY graphics program, even
Windows PAINT will do. When you have it open, Hold CTRL
and hit V. That pastes it into the Graphics program.
Then you can print the picture with CTRL P.
You can also crop the picture to use only a part of it,
or edit it.
Have FUN!

Ajax for Water Spots
By ajbblondie1210 [1 Post]
My brother parks his car on the street and every night
the sprinklers go on. When he wakes up in the morning, he
has water spots on the right side of his car. He tried
washing his car but the spots would not come off. He also
tried Windex, white vinegar, brake cleaner, anything you
could think of!
Then my mom said, "Hey, try this Ajax!" With a little bit
of water, the spots came right off! So the trick is AJAX!
Hope this helps.

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car; both
ladies could barely see over the dashboard.
As they were cruising along they came to an intersection.
The stoplight was red but they just went on through.
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself,
"I must be losing it, I could have sworn we just went
through a red light."
After a few more minutes they came to another
intersection and the light was again red, and again they
went right through.
This time the woman in the passenger seat was almost sure
that the light had been red but was really concerned
that she was losing it. She was getting nervous and
decided to pay very close attention at the next
intersection to see what was going on.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was
definitely red and they went right through. At this point
she turned to her friend and said, "Mildred! Do you know
we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could
get killed us!"
Mildred turned to her and said, "Holy Moly! Am I
driving?"

Aaron Thomas Usery,
21,
Mesa,
Arizona
Mesa man arrested for bestiality,
exploiting minors
Mesa police arrested a 21-year-old man Tuesday after
investigators said he was involved in a sexual relationship
with a pair of 12-year-old Kansas girls and had engaged in
sexual activity with a dog, according to court records.
Police said Aaron Thomas Usery was arrested on suspicion of
sexual exploitation of a minor and bestiality after police
found messages and videos on his computer and phone.
Police said Usery met the girls on an art-sharing website
and went by the name "Zel the Wolf," documents reported.
The relationship started in September 2014 and ended in
February 2015, according to court records.
Mesa police said investigators from Overland Park, Kansas,
reported the relationship after the mother of one of the
girls told police about the relationship.
Investigators found nude pictures and videos on both Usery's
and the girls' phones, including a video of Usery engaging
in bestiality with the family dog, according to court
records.
According to reports, the relationship started friendly then
gradually turned sexual as Usery and the girls used Skype
and Google Hangouts to keep in touch.
In the messages, police said Usery admitted that he knew the
relationship was wrong but that he continued doing it.
Usery was being held on a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to
appear at Maricopa County Superior Court on April 20.

RE: Computer saves pictures in PNG format
Dear Webby
I would like to thank you for all of your previous help.
I have a question about saving pictures that are sent to
me in my email.
Always before when I would save a picture it would save it
as a jpg, now when I save a picture it saves it as a PNG
(*.png)Â even though it shows the picture as a jpg.
Thank you for such a great newsletter and all the help and
advice on computer questions.
Kay
Dear Kay
Most graphics programs let you save in a great variety of
formats, including PNG.
PNG is actually a much better format than JPG, because it
does not degrade the picture every time you save it.
Usually, whatever format you save something in, is the
default format from then on.
If you prefer to save pictures in JPG, select that.
Usually you can select that in the second line, below the
file name line.
Have FUN!

Spice Jar Labels
By Amanda Cope [3 Posts, 19 Comments]
I have accumulated about 40 spice jars and want to have
them displayed on my counter on one of those 3 tier
expandable shelves. I want to label them, but my Dymo
labels don't stick very well. They do fine on everything
else. Any suggestions?
Acope
You can wash your spice jars in hot dish water. They all
have tight fitting caps. If they haven't been washed for
twenty years, they will need a bit more effort, but they
will come just as clean as your wine glasses. Then
anything will stick properly. However, Dymo labels look
rather tacky in the kitchen and heat will make them curl
up.
2" x 3/4" Avery return address labels look the best, but
they have tons of different sizes. To make them washable,
spray them with spray varnish after you stick them onto
the jars.
Since you will need just one sheet of labels, you can give
sheets to friends and relatives, and for some even print
the labels for them for Christmas.
Have FUN!

Arnold and his wife were cleaning out the attic one day when
he came across a ticket from the local shoe repair shop. The
date stamped on the ticket showed that it was over eleven
years old.
They both laughed and tried to remember which of them
might have forgotten to pick up a pair of shoes over a
decade ago.
"Do you think the shoes will still be in the shop?" Arnold
asked.
"Not very likely," his wife said.
"It's worth a try," Arnold said, pocketing the ticket. He
went downstairs, hopped into the car, and drove to the
store.
With a straight face, he handed the ticket to the man behind
the counter. With a face just as straight, the man said,
"Just a minute. I'll have to look for these."
He disappeared into a dark corner at the back of the shop.
Two minutes later, the man called out, "Here they are!"
The man came back to the counter, empty-handed.
"They'll be ready Thursday," he said calmly.

Sara Domres,
29,
New Berlin,
Wisconsin
Wisconsin English Teacher Charged With
Sexual Assault of a Student
A Wisconsin high school teacher is facing charges of
sexual assault following an alleged sexual relationship
with a student, including on the night of her husband's
bachelor's party.
Sara Domres, a 29-year-old former teacher at the New
Berlin West High School, was charged last week for sexual
assault of a student by school staff following an alleged
relationship with a 16-year-old lasting approximately ten
months.
According to the criminal complaint, the sophomore was in
Domres' English class, where they became fast friends, and
texted each other frequently, the police report stated.
During their relationship, lasting between April 2015 and
January 2016, they reportedly exchanged over 1,100
messages. One of the many text messages said, "I love
being your baby boo. (heart emoji) run away with me!!! I
want you forever," according to the criminal complaint.
According to the police statement, the boy was allegedly
"a virgin prior to having sexual intercourse" with the
teacher.
One of the counts she is being charged with was for an
encounter in Domres' car in a park-and-ride lot in July,
according to the criminal complaint. The boy was 16 at the
time.
The other count she is being charged with responded to
their encounter in a Motel 6, where she had paid for a
single bed with cash, and it was discovered that the boy's
phone was connected to the WiFi on the same day,
authorities said.
According to police, a message was sent the night before:
"You're extremely attractive to me!!! I can't wait for our
night we are doing it no matter what!!!"
However, the boy as well as witnesses reportedly told the
police that the couple had sex more frequently than the
two instances. According to WISN, they even had sex on the
night of Domres' now-husband's bachelor party.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Domres was
married in August, in the midst of her relationship with
the student.
The police report also said that the couple had passed
handwritten notes "of a sexual nature" to each other. One
of them allegedly read: "I want to do you (smiley face)
NOW!!"
According to a police report, three juveniles reported the
relationship on January 16.
Police later uncovered multiple Internet searches from the
student's phone from the previous day, the police report
stated. One was a Yahoo search for, "how to delete a sent
snapchat?" Another was a google search for "what evidence
does a judge need to charge a teacher with sexual
assault."
The school had reportedly discovered the relationship
sometime in January and she was immediately let go.

RE: Cheap computer desk
Dear Webby
I need a computer desk but they all cost way more than
my budget allows. Do you have any ideas that might help
me?
Thanks
Maria
Get some bedside nightstands at a second hand store,
preferably the type that has a bunch of drawers.
Then get an interior door and cut it to fit into the space
you have. They are usually hollow and easy to cut.
Put that door over your nightstands and your desk is
finished.
Use it like that for a week or more until you have
adjusted and shuffled everything just right before you
glue anything down. However, normally the weight of the
monitor will hold everything quite nicely and gluing won't
be necessary.
Use the door with the hole for the lock towards the wall
or away from you. It is perfect to bing up power and phone
cords.
Have FUN!

Quick Vetkoek
By Benetta [226 Posts, 121 Comments]
Vetkoek (fried dough bread) is another well-loved part of
our South African food heritage. Whenever we have church
bazaars, you can bet your bottom dollar that vetkoek will
be sold at one of the food stalls. It can be served with
savory mince, or cheese and honey, or cheese and jam.
When I was forced to go gluten-free (due to health
concerns), it was one of the first recipes that I played
around with until I managed to come up with a good gluten-
free version. Here goes...
Approximate Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6-7 vetkoek, depending on the size
Ingredients:
1 cup Health Connection gluten free self-raising cake
flour
1/2 cup soda water (carbonated water)
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
cooking oil
Steps:
Sift together the flour and salt.
Add the egg and soda water. Mix all the ingredients
together to get a smooth batter.
Add enough oil to a pan so that the oil will measure 1cm
up the side of the pan. Place over medium-high heat and
heat the oil.
Drop spoonfuls of batter in the warm oil and fry until
golden brown on both sides.
Allow to cool down a bit, before serving with mince, or
with butter, cheese and honey.
Have FUN!

How often have we heard that television watching can be
detrimental?
A pastor carried that message one Sunday morning in an
impassioned sermon on the evils of TV.
"It steals away precious time that could be better spent
on other, more worthwhile things," he said.
He advised the congregation to do what he and his family
had done. "We put our TV away in the closet."
"That's right," his wife muttered to the woman next to
her, "and it gets awfully crowded in there!"

If garbage workers in your community ever go out on
strike, you might like to know how a wise New Yorker
disposed of his refuse for several days when sanitation
workers were on strike.
Each day he wrapped his garbage in gift paper. Then
he put it in a shopping bag. When he parked his car,
he left the bag on the front seat with the window open.
When he got back to the car, the garbage had always
been collected.

3 Cajuns and 3 Texans are taking a train to attend a
conference. At the station, each Texan buys a ticket,
but they notice that only one Cajun buys a ticket.
"Don't you-all need tickets?" they ask.
"Mais Non," reply the Cajuns, "one is more dan enough,
boo."
Once they board the train, the Texans take their seats
and notice that all 3 Cajuns cram themselves into a
toilet.
As the conductor passes through the car, he knocks on the
toilet door and says, "Ticket, please."
The door cracks ever so slightly, a hand passes out a
ticket,
and then the door quickly closes.
"Ahhh... very clever" think the Texans.
After the conference, the 3 Cajuns and the 3 Texans are
again
at the train station for the return trip. Since the Texans
are now so 'money-wise', they smirk as they only purchase
one ticket...
but then they notice that the Cajuns don't buy a ticket at
all.
"How will you-all get back without even a single ticket?"
they ask.
"Mais, we don need dat, us on de back trip!" say the
Cajuns.
Once they board the train, the 3 Texans cram themselves
into
the largest toilet (naturally), and the 3 Cajuns ease into
another toilet. As the train begins to move away from the
station, one of the Cajuns leaves the toilet and knocks on
the door of the Texans' toilet and yells, "Ticket Please."

Heather Frye, 31,
Brenda Frye, 52
Green,
Ohio
"Fun Mom" Charged With Her 16-Year-Old Son's
Heroin Overdose Death. His grandmother has been charged too.
Heather Frye, 31, and her mother Brenda, 52, are charged
with the involuntary manslaughter of Heather's biological
son Andrew's death as well as corrupting another with
drugs, child endangering, and tampering with evidence, the
Akron Beacon Journal reports. The 16-year-old was found
facedown dead in a Green, Ohio, Super 8 motel room after
partying with the two women.
According to the Washington Post, Heather and Brenda were
also high on heroin and fentanyl when Andrew died, and it
appears they "had a hand in obtaining and disseminating
heroin among themselves" at the motel party, Summit County
Sheriff Steve Barry said. Two of the women's friends were
also partying with them. Andrew was pronounced dead on the
scene, and investigators found drug paraphernalia and
syringes in the motel room.
After she was arrested, Heather told police she wanted to
be Andrew's "fun weekend mom," the Cleveland Plain Dealer
reports. Heather had not had custody of Andrew since he was
6 months old when she gave him up for adoption to his
great-aunt Tammy Smith. When Smith's fiancé died in 2010,
Andrew had a hard time coping, Tammy said. He then began
seeking out his biological mother's company.
Heather, who was in prison three times between 2007 and
2014 for drug-related charges, would visit a few times a
year, but "never in a million years did we think she would
get him into heroin," Tammy's daughter Julie Andrea said.
"We think the only reason he did it was to get her
approval." She reportedly told Andrew to shoot up in the
bathroom of the motel room because she didn't like watching
him use drugs.
Should they be convicted, Heather and Brenda face up to 11
years in prison.

OK,so I bit the bullet and bought a new laptop, which of
course came with Windoze 10. I'm managing fine with
Windoze 10 Pro on my desktop, but the laptop came with
Windoze 10 home (no big difference) so of course upon it's
arrival I powered it up and started unstalling the JUNK I
didn't want on it.
There's one program I cannot seem to get rid of, every time
I try and uninstall it is says it cannot uninstall it
because it's running.
If I alt/ctl/delete and bring up Task Manager, it does NOT
show. It's called KNCTR and is some dumb phone program and
says "click here to activate your free phone.
I'm thinking of booting the laptop up in safe mode and
trying to delete it that way. Any thoughts oh wise one?

Storing Tomato Paste
By Sweezykay [7 Posts, 10 Comments]
What is the best way to store tomato paste for future use?
Frozen is best but not in the can. Fill ice cube trays with
left over tomato paste and freeze. Once frozen, remove from
the trays and store in a freezer bag for 2-3 months.
This trick works for pasta sauce too. Often just a cube
works wonders for a stew that needs "something" to be
perfect.

Lakishette Williams,
25,
Trenton,
New Jersey
Woman sets apartment on fire after
learning her boyfriend is now gay.
A woman accused of starting fires in her apartment was
burning love letters from her boyfriend after she
discovered he was gay and cheating on her, the woman's
defense attorney said Friday.
Lakishette Williams, 25, appeared for a bail
reconsideration hearing Friday - four months after she was
charged with aggravated arson for the incident.
Police said at the time that they pulled Williams from her
apartment on North Gouverneur Avenue and found that she had
started fires in two rooms.
Prosecutors said Friday that police found evidence of the
first fire on a stovetop in the kitchen where they
discovered remnants of charred paper on a burner.
After investigating the rest of the apartment, they found
broken glass and evidence of more burned papers in the
living room and an aerosol can nearby, prosecutors said.
They added that the building held other apartments,
including one that was occupied when Williams lit the
fires. Prosecutors believe Williams intended to damage the
building.
Caroline Turner, an attorney representing Williams, said
that the 25-year-old wasn't trying to light the apartment
on fire – she was just burning love letters from her
boyfriend.
Williams had recently discovered online that her boyfriend
was gay and in relationships with other men, Turner said.
Distraught over her failed relationship, the 25-year-old
mother of two decided to get rid of the love letters,
Turner said.
"She was devastated."

RE: Transfer Eudora to W8
Dear Webby
Thanks for the advice on the classic shell for windows 8.
Now the next problem. On my old machine in Eudora I have
saved a number of emails and set up a number of filters.
Is there any way to transfer this info to my new machine
short of having to recreate each one individually?
Thanks again.
David L
Dear David
Yes, that part is easy. I have done that since Windows 3.1
If your machines are networked, copy the Eudora setup file
to the new machine and set it up.
That puts it into the registry.
Next drag the entire Eudora directory over to the new
machine.
Make a shortcut for Eudora.exe and drag it to the task bar
or the desktop.
That's all there is to it.
After that Eudora on the new machine will be identical to
how it was on the old one, including filters and
preferences.
If you don't have the Eudora Setup file, come onto Skype.
My handle is, of course, dearwebby
Then I can slide you version 6.2.5.6 (paid mode)

bikinis were sunning themselves.
The father noticed that his son kept staring at the girls
and would occasionally glance back at him. He was bracing
himself for questions his son might have when they got up
to leave. His son watched the girls very closely as they
left, then he turned to his father and said,
"Dad, can I take that candy bar those girls left behind?"

Times sure have changed ! I would have waited till they
were out of sight of my father, then sprinted after them
with their candy bar, and I would have gotten a hug, maybe

Easy Asian Soup
By Donna [321 Posts, 336 Comments]
A quick and delicious soup using left over chicken, pork,
or beef. Much healthier, cheaper and better than any
canned soup you can buy.
Approximate Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1/2 onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
small piece of fresh ginger, minced or sprinkle of
dried ginger
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup leftover chicken, pork or beef
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp lime juice
Steps:
Chop onion, celery and carrot. I use a Black and Decker
mini chopper that I found in a free box at a garage sale
and love it! Saves a lot of time and energy.
Cook vegetables in a heavy pot in olive oil until tender;
about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic and ginger to taste.
Add chicken broth and water. Bring to simmer.
Add cooked meat to mix and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce and lime juice.

The crumbling, old church building needed remodeling, so
the preacher made an impassioned appeal, looking directly
at the richest may in town. At the end of the message, the
rich man stood up and announced, "Pastor, I will contribute
$1,000."
Just then, plaster fell from the ceiling and struck the
rich man on the shoulder.
He promptly stood again and shouted, "Pastor, I will
increase my donation to $5,000."
Before he could sit back down, plaster fell on him again
and he screamed, "Pastor, I will double my last pledge."
He sat down and an even larger chunk of plaster fell, this
time hitting him on the head.
He stood once more and hollered, "Pastor, I will give
$20,000!"
This prompted a deacon to shout,
"Hit him again, Lord! Hit him again!"

Good Morning, ,
Today is Thursday, April 14
Daniel wrote that he uses the ridiculously expensive
aerosol cans, that cause brain damage and kill people,
in his work restroring old padlocks.
Tiny air compressors that produce up to 300 pounds
per square inch compressed air for inflating tires
and come with all kinds of fittings, incuding a needle
tip for inflating balls, are $15 - $20.
Just google for "small air compressors" and take your pick.
Find one sold locally, so that you don't have to pay
shipping. For $15 - $20 once, you will never have to buy
dangerous cans again.
By the way, the easiest method to get cookie crumbs and dirt
out of keyboards is to lay some newspaper onto the floor,
and slam the keyboard upside down onto the newspaper.
Do it a few times and teach it a lesson about all those
typos!
After that just use a sponge moistened with dish water or
window cleaner, and rub the still upside down keyboard.
Then slam it, still upside down, onto a towel on the floor.
After that is is like new and didn't cost you anything.

But the next time he came in, he was all smiles.

Logan Shaulis,

Somerset,
Pennsylvania
Drunk guy makes fake DUI checkpoint,
gets charged with DUI
A Pennsylvania man set up a fake drunken-driving checkpoint
only to be charged with drunken driving himself when real
troopers arrived to investigate.
The (Somerset) Daily American says 20-year-old Logan Shaulis
will be sentenced June 27. He pleaded guilty Thursday to
drunken driving, possessing instruments of crime, and
impersonating a public servant.
Police say Shaulis used a flashing blue light bar, parked
diagonally across state Route 601 and set up road flares
about 4 a.m. on May 30.
A motorist who stopped says Shaulis claimed he was a trooper
with the “drug and alcohol division” and demanded to see her
identification.
When police arrived, Shaulis tried to hand a BB pistol to the
car’s passenger, saying he couldn’t get caught with it.
Shaulis’ attorney says Shaulis has since completed substance
abuse treatment.

RE: Linux BASH on Windows?
Dear Webby
I heard that W10 Now has access to thge Linux Bash shell
or will really soon. Is that true?
Is it a real Linux/UNIX bash shell, or just a relabled
DOS shell?
How easy is it to get it, and how reliable is it, compared
to real Linux?
Ria
Dear Ria
First, it is not easy to get. You have to sign up for all
kinds of stuff and agree, that there won't be any guarantees
whatsoever. Microsoft says it COULD work.
After that, and joining some insider developers gang, you can
download and install it.
I would highly recommend that you first save a mirror image
of your hard drive onto a spare drive.
Eventually most bash commands, that you use on Linux, should
work, just like DOS commands work when you go to the command
line in Windows with START, cmd.
That does not mean you can run Linux programs or Linux
versions of programs. For that you need real Linux.
If you have a bunch of BASH programs (Linux/UNIX equivalent
of DOS bat files), then you can now use those for sorting
and weeding out files on Windows 10, just like you do on your
Linux machines.
By the time they force us to "upgrade" to Windows 15 or 16,
Windows will have a version that is just another flavor of
Linux, like Linux Ubuntu is a flavor.
That has been announced a long time ago. Windows is getting
too big and slow because of trying to cope with old versions
of software, so they are going to make a clean break some day
and possibly split off a professional version, that runs
Linux Microsoft.
The big problem is that Linux is free, and Microsoft is
allergic to that concept. It will be interesting!
But not yet. For now you are better off converting your bash
files to DOS bat files. DOS is alive and well deep down
inside of Windows.
I use a bat file that uses xcopy with a bunch of neat
switches to do my backup to an external drive.
That backup bat file is from Windows 3.1, just has a lot
more lines added to it.
Xcopy is the DOS equivalent of UNIX rsync, but without the
silly authentication rigmarole, and with more switches than
rsync has. Yes, sometimes I wish there was a DOS shell for
Linux.
Have FUN!

Salt Spout Mason Jar
By lalala...
Don't throw that empty salt container away. You can remove
the top with the spout and cut it down to fit inside a mason
jar ring! Now you can put all kind of things in the jar and
easily pour out the amount you want.
For best results dip the cardboard
cut-out from the salt box in spar varnish or any good,
waterproof varnish. Even spray on varnish works. You will
have to wiggle the spout a bit while the varnish is setting
up, so that it does not lock. When I was living in the bush
in the Yukon I even used pasta sauce jars with screw top
caps, marked and poked a hole into the lid and then glued one
of my varnished cardboard toppers onto the screw-on cap.
No need to buy expensive mason jars for that.
Have FUN!

Thanks to Father Time for this one:
At Heathrow Airport, a 300-foot long red carpet stretches out
to Air Force One and Mr. Bush strides to a warm but dignified h
and shake from Queen Elizabeth II.
They ride in a silver 1934 Bentley limousine to the edge of
central London where they then board an open 17th century
coach pulled by six magnificent white matching horses. They
ride toward Buckingham Palace, each looking sideways and
waving to the thousands of cheering Britons.
So far everything is going well.
Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most
horrendous, earth-rending, eye-smarting blast of flatulence
ever heard in the British Empire and so powerful,that it
shakes the coach.
Uncomfortable, but under control, the two Dignitaries of
State do their best to ignore the incident.
But, embarrassed, the Queen decides it's impossible to ignore
it.
"Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you
understand that there are some things not even a Queen can
control."
Ever the Texas gentleman, the President replies, "Your

The wise old Mother Superior from county Tipperary was

but she refused it.
Then one nun took the glass back to the kitchen.
Remembering a bottle of rum they had received as a gift the
previous Christmas, she opened and poured a generous
amount into the warm milk.
When she walked back to Mother Superior's bed, she held
the glass to her lips.
Mother drank a little, then a little more. Before they knew it,
she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop.
Mother," the nuns asked with earnest, "Please give us

She raised herself up in bed with a pious look on her

Robert Lopez,

Naked man watering his lawn arrested after
confronting deputies with 8-inch knife
Neighbors called police after seeing a naked man watering
his lawn Wednesday evening.
When deputies got there they say he was sitting in his yard
drinking a beer - yes - still naked.
According to a press release, 37-year-old Robert Lopez
refused to put on clothes when asked, throwing the glass
beer bottle at them.
The bottle missed, but Lopez continued threatening the
deputy, saying "that he would get a gun and shoot him."
With the situation escalating, the deputy called for
backup, and got his rifle from the car for protection.
Lopez eventually put on a pair of shorts and went inside,
coming back out with a knife with an 8-inch blade that he
threw at the deputy.
Once backup arrived, they used a bean bag round from a
shotgun, which hit Lopez, and allowed authorities to place
him into custody.
Lopez faces felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon
on a peace officer, resisting arrest, and a misdemeanor for
indecent exposure.

RE: Compressed air cans for cleaning
Dear Webby
I remember that you always get right irate and obnoxious
when some idiot recommends using canned air for cleaning
keyboards or computers, or even having it in the house.
I was reminded of your tirades when I read that a 36 year
old woman in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, died from huffing
aerosol keyboard cleaner in the washroom at the local Staples.
Dead from huffing aerosol keyboard cleaner
There are none of those cans in my house, -I am not stupid-,
but maybe it is time to remind the rest of the subscribers
to check the garage and basement and toss any cans that
might still be lurking. What is actually deadly in it?
Irene
Dear Irene
It definitely is no secret that those aerosol cans designed
to blow dirt to harder to reach places are deadly. It never
ceases to amaze me that otherwise almost sane people still
recommend them.
Aside from the fact, that they kill people, they just move
dirt to harder to reach places. DUH! Real moron malfunction.
Any vacuum cleaner, even a rechargeable car vacuum like you
used to get for subscribing to Popular Mechanics or similar
magazines, will get rid of dirt and dust and cookie crumbs.
Not move it, but get rid of the dirt!
The dangerous stuff in the cans is a Tetrafluoroethan gas.
It doesn't always kill. Sometimes it just causes brain
damage.
Major brand car vacuum cleaners like Dirt Devil or ArmorAll
or Dust Buster are about $25 - $30. They all work and get
rid of dirt and crumbs and dust bunnies.
And of course your regular vacuum cleaner with the crevice
attachment works even better.
Have FUN!

Soda Can Lantern as Outdoor Decor
By KIM HOGGAN [34 Posts, 60 Comments]
Approximate Time: 5 minutes
Supplies:
soda can
a little knife
battery tea light
a hook such as a paper clip
Steps:
Gather your supplies.
Get any soda can and begin to cut about an inch
below top of rim.
Carefully and slowly cut 9 lines of equal width.
Use a pencil, spatula handle, or anything else to seperate
the rows. Bend the center of each row.
Make one opening a bit bigger to insert the tea light.
Once done, using both hands the can should easily bend
and spring up and down.
Pull the cap up and hang a paper clip or hook.
Finally hang wherever you'd like. My spiral wind spinner
already had a hole at the end and so I hung it there.
Enjoy! :)

Re: Scam calls

might know about it.

Dear Vi
That trick with forwarding the phone works in some areas,
but not exactly the same way all across the country.
However, REAL phone techs NEVER ask you to do silly stuff
like that. They have much easier ways to check your line,
without bothering you..
Depending on your mood at the time, there are various ways
to respond if somebody asks you to punch ANY numbers on
the phone.
You could for example tell him that he must have the
wrong number because you don't have a phone. Feel free
to practise any insults that you remember from your teen
years. What the scammers are trying to do is get you to
forward the call, on YOUR billing, to some Caribbean or
Asian country and then call all day on your bill.
By the way, all phone companies recommend that if something
like that happens, that you DO NOT punch in any number and
immediately afterward dial zero for the operator and tell
them all about it. They can trace the last call, and they
will send some really big phone techs over there to tune
the crook in to phone company policy.
They get right miffed when some two-bit crook is trying to
give them a bad name.
Calling the operator may or may not work with your phone
company. You might have to look up their operator's number
in the GET A HUMAN link on the right side-menu here.
Have FUN!

Soda Can Lantern as Outdoor Decor
By KIM HOGGAN [34 Posts, 60 Comments]
Approximate Time: 5 minutes
Supplies:
soda can
a little knife
battery tea light
a hook such as a paper clip
Steps:
Gather your supplies.
Get any soda can and begin to cut about an inch
below top of rim.
Carefully and slowly cut 9 lines of equal width.
Use a pencil, spatula handle, or anything else to seperate
the rows. Bend the center of each row.
Make one opening a bit bigger to insert the tea light.
Once done, using both hands the can should easily bend
and spring up and down.
Pull the cap up and hang a paper clip or hook.
Finally hang wherever you'd like. My spiral wind spinner
already had a hole at the end and so I hung it there.
Enjoy! :)

Oklahoma
Salad bar slob arrested for assaulting off-duty cop
An Oklahoma woman who kept using her bare hands to scoop
lettuce from a salad bar bowl allegedly punched an
off-duty cop in the face after being told to cease her
unsanitary behavior.
According to investigators, a female sheriff’s deputy was
having lunch Friday afternoon with her two children at
Mazzio’s Pizza when she was assaulted by Lindsay Williams, 29.
As detailed in an Oklahoma City Police Department report,
Deputy Adebola Atoka was “at the salad bar selecting food
for her plate” when she spotted Williams using “her bare
hands to grab salad out of the salad bowl.”
Atoka, cops noted, alerted restaurant staffers, “who
changed out the salad.”
After the lettuce had been replaced, Williams returned to
the salad bar and again dug in with her hands, prompting
Atoka to tell her that, “she should not do that.”
Williams, police allege, responded by punching Atoka in
the face, a blow that knocked the deputy’s glasses off.
Seen above, Williams was subsequently arrested for
assault and battery.

Derrick LaForest,
33,
Pittsfield,
Massachusetts.
Massachusetts man, who was angry that Taco Bell was closed,
rammed ATM vestibule, knocked himself out.
A city man was knocked unconscious early Thursday when he
rammed his car into an unused ATM vestibule after becoming
upset that Taco Bell was closed.
Derrick C. LaForest, 33, allegedly told police he had, "no
idea," how he hit the building.
Witnesses said LaForest, of Argyle Road, pulled up to the
Taco Bell drive-thru window shortly after 1:30 a.m. and began
honking his horn.
When no one answered at the window, LaForest allegedly "laid
on the horn for at least two minutes," before a staff member
went outside and told him the restaurant was closed.
LaForest then sped through the drive-thru lane and
accelerated through the Taco Bell parking lot at high speeds,
witnesses said. He then struck a curb, lost control of the
car, hit a second curb and smashed into a small structure
which formerly housed a TD Bank ATM.
The vehicle's airbag deployed and both the vehicle and the
building suffered "extensive" damage, according to police.
Several Taco Bell employees went to the car and dragged
LaForest's unconscious body out while police were en route.
He had a cut over his eye and refused medical treatment,
police said.
LaForest told police he went to the restaurant and when he
learned it was closed, drove away and somehow hit the
building.
He pleaded not guilty in Central Berkshire District Court to
charges of reckless operation of a motor vehicle and
vandalism.
Judge William O'Grady released LaForest on $500 bail and
ordered him back in court on May 3 for a pretrial hearing.

Dear Martha
The best presentation of the classical Grimm Brothers tales

Keep in mind, these are ancient stories written down in the

When the family car developed a slight knock, the husband
asked his wife if she had bought regular or premium gas,
but she couldn't remember.
"You probably got the cheaper gas," he said. "That could
account for the engine running so rough."
"No, the gas wasn't cheaper!" she replied indignantly.
"Well, how much did it cost?" asked the husband.
"It cost the same as always," said the wife. "I bought the
usual ten dollars worth to get me home."

I was in line at the store checkout. In front of me was a mother
with her college-age son and his girlfriend. It was in the middle
of the lunch rush, and many customers were restless at the
long wait, but the young couple, holding hands and kissing,
were oblivious to everything around them.
Although clearly not approving, the mother was silent until one
prolonged kiss when the young man had his face and hands
buried in his girlfriend's long, curly locks.
"Do you have to do that here?" the embarrassed mother asked.
"I'm not doing anything, Mom," came her son's muffled voice.
"My nose ring is caught in her hair."

After watching the movie Cinderella, five-year-old Sarah
started using her pinwheel as a magic wand, pretending she
was a fairy godmother. "Make three wishes," she told her
mother, "and I'll grant them."
Her mom first asked for world peace. Sarah swung her wand
and proclaimed the request fulfilled. Next, her mother
requested for a cure for all ill children. Again, with a
sweep of the pinwheel, Sarah obliged. The mother, with a
glance down at her rather ample curves, made her third wish,
"I wish to have a trim figure again."
The miniature fairy godmother started waving her wand madly,
and throwing furtive glances at her mother, checking for the
first signs of any results.
Finally she sighed and exclaimed: "For THAT I'll need more

Alabama math teacher arrested for sex with student
An Algebra teacher at Central High Freshman Academy in
Phenix City is accused of having sex with a student.
Jeannie Shiver, 37, was arrested Wednesday and charged with
school employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual
intercourse with a student under the age of 19 years, Phenix
City police stated in a release.
According to Central High Freshman Academy's website, Shiver
is an alum of Central High School and Columbus State
University. It was her ninth year teaching at Central High
Freshman Academy.
Her current employment status wasn't released.
Phenix City police were notified by the Phenix City Board of
Education on March 3 that Shiver was believed to be having
an inappropriate relationship with an underage student.
"It appears the school may have had information as early as
February," Phenix City Police Chief Ray Smith told the
Ledger-Enquirer. "There is information that the employee had
been warned to stay away from the student sometime in
February, but that information was not made known to law
enforcement until March. We're still investigating that part
of it."
The school also apparently issued a warning letter to
Shiver in February, police say.

A Coast Guard officer responded, "Please give your location."
"I'm on Interstate-75, two miles south of Standish."

noticed a display of country-style musical instruments. After
looking over the flutes, dulcimers and recorders, he picked
up a shiny, one-stringed instrument he took to be a mouth harp.
He put it to his lips and, much to the amusement of other
shoppers, twanged a few notes on it.
After watching from a distance, I walked up and whispered
in his ear, "I hate to tell you this, honey, but you're trying

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother
do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed
that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking
out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her
mother and inquisitively asked,
"Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something
wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns
white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for while and
then said, "You must have been REALLY wicked to turn ALL of

Avery Davis,
26,
Riviera Beach,
Florida
Florida Man arrested after he was bitten by his
own pit bull while fleeing from officers.
As Avery Davis ran from Riviera Beach police officers
Monday morning, he released his pit bull and directed the
animal to attack the officers, according to authorities.
However, the dog apparently had other ideas.
Davis’ pit bull bit him in the buttocks and tried to bite
his head before Davis ran and hid in a nearby apartment
complex, according to a police arrest report made public
Tuesday.
The 26-year-old Riviera Beach man eventually was caught in
the 1500 block of West 29th Street. He was arrested on two
counts of aggravated assault on a law-enforcement officer
and one count resisting an officer with violence. He
remained in custody Tuesday at the Palm Beach County Jail.
The scene reportedly unfolded shortly before 8 a.m. Monday.
According to the report, police officers were in the area
investigating a reported burglary in the 2300 block of
Avenue S. Officers observed Davis, who matched the
description of the suspect. He reportedly was carrying hair
care products.
Officers ordered Davis to lay on the ground. He did so
while hugging the dog. Davis reportedly told officers,
“Y’all gonna have to kill us” before getting up and running
away.
An officer fired a stun at Davis, temporarily knocking him
back to the ground. Davis reportedly got up and ran again.
As officers pursued, Davis released the dog from its leash
and yelled, “Kill ’em boy, kill ’em,” while pointing at the
officers, the report said.
Officers later found Davis hiding under an SUV in an
apartment complex on Avenue R. He ran again but was caught
on West 29th Street. Davis was treated at St. Mary’s
Medical Center in West Palm Beach and then released into
police custody.

Tip: Getting Rid of Smell on Vintage Coats
Take a bunch of newspapaers wad them up and fill the arms
of the coat, get one of those dry cleaning garment bags,
and put the coat with the newspaper inside of it, adding
more newspaper, close it and seal it with tape to make it
air tight. Wait about 3-4 days open it up and remove some
of the newspaper, the newspaper should smell like the
coats. Newspaper absorbs ordors and I have had wonderful
luck with it getting out the vintage smell in clothes. You
may have to take out the newspaper and refill the coat a
couple times but, works wonders.

Ashley Nikole Weir
31,
Lago Vista,
Texas
Texas mother arrested after she got drunk,
let sex offender tattoo her three kids
A Central Texas mother got drunk and allowed a sex
offender to tattoo her three underage children, according
to police.
Ashley Nikole Weir, 31, was arrested Monday in Lago Vista
and charged on three counts of tattoos prohibited for
certain persons, a Class A misdemeanor.
If convicted, Weir could spend up to three years in
prison.
The father of the three children told Lago Vista police
that his 13-year-old son called and asked him to pick
them up from Weir's house, according to an arrest
affidavit.
The son told the father that "they had a surprise for him
and that he might not like it," the affidavit said.
Weir was "passed out drunk" in bed when the father
arrived, the father told police. The three children were
unsupervised.
All three had fresh tattoos on their ankles: the 13-year-
old son had a tattoo of a cross on his right ankle, the
10-year-old daughter had a cross and infinity symbol on
her left ankle and the 9-year-old daughter had a heart-
and-arrow design on her right ankle, according to police.
The 13-year-old told police that Weir wanted the children
to get tattoos when they arrived at their mother's house,
the affidavit reads.
Two men were there at the time: Weir's boyfriend and his
brother — who is a sex offender, according to the Texas
Department of Public Safety's sex offender registry.
The children told police that Weir told them to get the
tattoos "but not to cry or whine about it when it hurts,"
according to the affidavit.
Weir's boyfriend's brother tattooed the three children,
the children told police.
The father asked police to conduct a welfare check on
Weir, according to the affidavit.
Police said Weir smelled of alcohol and that she
"wobbled, swayed and was unsure on her feet while
walking."
Weir told police that she allowed the children to get
tattoos but wouldn't say who actually performed the act
of tattooing the children.
The 31-year-old woman said she, her boyfriend and her

Re: Email program for older machines
Dear Webby
I used to think it was so cute that our kids were already
using email at six and seven, that I forgot to delete
Outlook Express. Considering that 99.9% of all viruses
are written to take advantage of some of Outlook's
"features" to break in and do their dirty deed, it should
actually have been quite predictable that either "Not Me!"
or "Me Neither!" would click on something dangerous.
Now "Not Me" and "Me Neither" are banished to two
older machines that I set up for them. Do you know of
an email program that will work with older versions of
Windows?
Thanks
Harold K
Dear Harold
Try Pegasus.
They have one version that not only works in all older
versions of Windows, but even works in DOS.
Pegasus has had mail filtering for a twenty years now
and has such niceties as mail merge, multiple identities
with separate address books, expandng nicknames, etc.
And it is still free. You can download it from
http://www.pmail.com/
Pegasus has been around since 1990 and has always been free.
They will still click on interesting looking links, but if
you put McAfee and Malwarebytes onto the machines, they should
eliminate most malware.
Both of those services are good for three machines anyway.
Have FUN!

Little Johnny was eating breakfast one morning and got to
thinking about things.
"Mommy, mommy, why has daddy got so few hairs on his head?"
he asked his mother.
"He thinks a lot," replied his mother, pleased with herself
for coming up with a good answer to her husband's baldness.
Or she was until Johnny thought for a second and said,
"I'm glad you don't do any thinking. You would look silly
without long hair."

I was nervous the night my husband and I brought our kids
to an upscale restaurant for the first time. My husband
ordered a bottle of wine with the meal.
When the waitress brought it, our children became quiet
as she began the ritual uncorking. When she poured a
small amount for my husband to taste, our six-year-old
piped up, "Let Mom try it. Mom can drink a lot more than
that!"

Sally was puzzled recently by the odd messages she kept
getting on her voice mail. Day after day, all she'd hear,
from friends, family, and customers alike, would be their
message and then they'd ALL say, "BEEP."
We were talking about something else at the moment but
I had her check her voice mail message anyway to see if
there was a clue. She discovered the solution to the
BEEP riddle when she dialed her own phone number.
Her message said, "I'm not available right now, so
please leave a beep after the message."

These two ol' boys from Beaumont bought a new mule, but had
trouble getting him in their barn. Every time they would
get him to the door, his ears would brush the top of the
doorway and he'd start kicking and go wild. Finally, they
decide the best way to solve the problem is to jack up the
barn. So, they go out and get a half dozen jacks.
The two Texians are scrambling from jack to jack to try
to get the barn raised when this Cajun walks up. "Wot chall

"We's raisin thuh barn, yuh stoopid Cajun," Billy Bob says.
"Why you do dat?"
"Cause thuh mule's ears keep touchin' thuh doorway when we

Billy Bob says. "He kicked Ernest Wayne plumb in thuh haid

"Why come you don' just dig a four inch lower in de doorway?

Alabama
Alabama teacher couple, both arrested for
sex with students
Jamie Franklin Parker and his wife Charli seem like any young
private school teachers at Pickens Academy.
Both Jamie and Charli coached the Alabama school’s sports
teams and served as teachers, sculpting their young minds
and pushing them towards a bright future.
Like millions of others, they fell in love in college and got
married in 2010. Not long after that they brought a baby boy
into the world.
But there was something much darker that this cheerful couple
was hiding from their peers.
The students and faculty at Pickens Academy were in for a
shock when the two were arrested, just two days apart, for an
all-too-common crime these days.
According to AL.com, Charli was arrested Monday on the charges
of engaging in a sex act with a student under the age of 19.
Just two days later, Jamie would be arrested for the same crime.
Charli had sex with a male student, while Jamie’s relationship
was with a female who used to attend the school. While these
instances are similar, the couple’s crimes were not related.
According to WVTM all of the acts took place away from school
grounds. Due to the crimes status as a Class B Felony, both
teachers could potentially serve a prison sentence of two to
20 years.

How does BMP fit in the world of GIF, JPG. PNG, PSP, PSD?
Doug
Dear Doug
BMP, the old Microsoft DOS Bit-Map-Picture format is still
used a bit for desktop backgrounds and start-up logo
screens, and icons. You can paint icons 64 x 64 or 32 x 32,
save them as a .BMP file, close the file, and rename it
to a .ico file, and it will be a regular icon that you
can assign to any program or shortcut.
Other than that and start-up logos, .BMP is not used
anymore now.
Web browsers can read GIF and JPG and PNG. That's it.
PNG, PSP and PSD are used for work in progress, which
is then saved as JPG before uploading to a web site.
PNG is also used for archiving, because it does not
degrade pictures like JPG does.

In answer to his questions, I told him, "Mommy is at a
Tupperware party." This explanation satisfied him for only a
moment.
Puzzled, he asked, "What's a Tupperware party, Dad?"
I've always given my son honest answers, so I figured a simple
explanation would be the best approach. "Well, son," I said, "at
a Tupperware party, a bunch of ladies sit around and sell plastic
bowls to each other."
He nodded, indicating that he understood this curious pastime.
Then he burst into laughter.
"Come on, Dad," he said. "What is it really?"

A couple of boys noticed something interesting about 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 cubits wide and thirty cubits 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

Tulsa, OK stripper and friends arrested for
kidnapping and robbing an invited visitor.
According to Tulsa Police, a man who went to meet a stripper
at her house was attacked and kidnapped by two men and the
woman.
As the victim walked into the stripper's residence Saturday
night, two men jumped him, tied him up, pulled his shirt
over his head and started to beat him. Then after he was
robbed, they threw him into the trunk of his own car, where
the suspects drove around for an hour, according to the victim.

suspects leave the vehicle, he kicked the seats in the back
of the car open, and was able to escape before they returned.
When the victim got out of the vehicle, he noticed he was
in Catoosa in the Hard Rock Casino parking lot. He
immediately told casino security what had happened and they
contacted Catoosa Police.
All three suspects, a white male, a white female and a
black male, were arrested at the casino by Catoosa Police.

Dear Nancy
"Bad SOB" is Ransom Ware and really bad shit.
You need to download and install MalwareBytes
and
Adwarecleaner
Be careful to download those ONLY from those safe links,
and not from Cnet or other dubious sources, that may trick
you into getting crappy "payloads" added.
Then, after you have downloaded and installed those,
here are the instructions:
Remove BSOD
They are too long to print here, but very nicely presented
step by step on that page.
Print them out, so that you can follow them even when you
have your browser closed.
Your machine got infected when you downloaded something
without carefully watching and also downloaded the B SOB.
It's not really difficult to remove the "Bad SOB",
just tedious.
Don't do it when you are in a hurry. Depending on the speed
of your computer and your connection, it may take you half
an hour to an hour to clean up.
Good Luck!

After attending a community meeting that adjourned at 10 p.m.,
my mother realized she had locked her keys in the car. The
only place open was a bar and grill down the street. When
Mom walked in, the bartender asked her what she'd like.
"I need a coathanger," she replied.
"Lady," he said, "I've made a lot of drinks in my time, but
I've never heard of that one."

Bumbling Miami bank robbers locked out
after warning shots
It took a few days, but police finally caught up with a
pair of bumbling would-be bank robbers whose warning shots
outside a Miami bank backfired — giving an employee inside
enough warning to lock the front door.
Unable to get inside, the defeated duo took off, without
any money.
“That’s an astute employee,” Miami Police Detective Kenia
Fallat said. “He took a chance and ran to the door. He did
the right thing.”
A day after last Friday’s attempted heist, one of the men —
who told police he was concerned after seeing bank
surveillance video of himself on television — turned himself
in. On Tuesday, his buddy did the same.
Franklin Yamill Cuevas, 32, was charged with armed robbery
with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm in public.
His buddy Kevin Alberto Reyes, 25, was charged as an
accessory after the fact. Cuevas remained in jail Wednesday
without bond.
Police say it was just before 6 p.m. March 18 when Reyes
parked his red, four-door Nissan Altima in front of Region’s
Bank at 2800 NW Seventh St. Then, police said, Reyes got out
of the car, walked through its glassed-encased ATM foyer
and opened the bank’s front door to make sure it wasn’t locked.
At the same time, the affidavit says, Cuevas walked outside
the ATM entrance and “pulled out a semi-automatic pistol,
inserted a magazine, cocked the gun, and shot three times
in the air while standing by the door of the bank.”
While firing his weapon, police said, Cuevas screamed,
“This is a robbery, mother...”
It scared the employees and customers enough to dive for
cover, police said. But one worker leaped into quick
action, locking the bank’s front door while Cuevas was
going gangster outside.
Stunned the door wouldn’t open, police said Cuevas
backpedaled and jumped into the Altima while Reyes gunned
the engine and took off.
Reyes would later explain to police that he was out
drinking with Cuevas before they headed to the bank. It
was only after Cuevas got out of the car, Reyes said, that
he heard the gunshots.
Police said Reyes told them he was unaware Cuevas had a
weapon. “But he did drive off with him after,” an officer
wrote in Reyes’ arrest affidavit.
Reyes also didn’t attempt to contact police until he saw
his picture on television.

Re: Spreadsheet recovery
Dear Webby
I love Open Office....it crashed with a spread sheet open
the other day...and although it can recover it, it has to
"recover" it every time I try and open it.
It's always the same, regardless of what spreadsheet I try
and open -- the first time the recovery fails, the second
time it is successful. I even upgraded to the newest version
of Open Office this morning thinking maybe Open Office was
corrupt, but the problem persists. A friend opening the same
spreadsheet (shared in a group) doesn't get the message.
Any ideas, oh great computer guru friend of mine?
Donna
Dear Donna
Save it under a new name.
Excel does the same.
Just save it under a new name, and then later save it back
with the old name. That usually fixes that common
spreadsheet bug.

Keep a Medication List
By Carol Swanson [37 Posts, 242 Comments]
At the suggestion of my allergist, I keep an updated list of
my medications in my handbag. She tells me that if you are
taken to the hospital, it is very difficult to reconstruct
a list of medicines for the patient. One never knows if they
will be in an auto accident or suffer a stroke or other
episode and not be able to speak for themselves.
I keep my list on my computer so it is easy to update and to
print out, but handwritten is good too. I also list non
prescription items my doctors want me to have.
Men can make a list to keep in their wallet. That way every
time you leave your house you will have it with you.
Source: My physician
Don't forget your home!
EMTs are trained to expect to see that list on your fridge.
That way they instantly know about heart or diabetes or
allergy conditions, instead of having to guess why you are
on the floor making weird gestures.
It doesn't have to be a big print, a post-it note size is
enough. That can save your life.
A month after my heart failure a few years ago friend once
called the EMTs on me, when I didn't respond to her Skype
messages because I was busy mopping the floors. They came
storming in like a SWAT team, and ran to the fridge to look
for my medication list. Luckily I do have one pinned up with
a fridge magnet.
Once they saw me mopping the floor they relaxed, but they
pointed to the list and said they wished everybody had one
pinned up on the fridge.
Have FUN!

The Irish are a wonderful bunch of people, always willing to
help in a pinch .....
Shortly after take-off on an outbound evening Air Atlantic
flight from Dublin to Boston, the lead flight attendant
nervously made the following painful announcement in her
lovely Irish brogue:
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so very sorry, but it appears that
there has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service.
I don't know how this has happened, but we have 120 passen-
gers on board and unfortunately, we received only 100 dinner
meals. I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience.
When the muttering of the passengers had died down, she
continued, "Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal
so that someone else can eat will receive free, unlimited
drinks for the duration of our 5 hour flight "
Her next announcement came about 3-1/2 hours later:
"If anyone is hungry, we still have 100 dinners available".

Of course I put all the money I earn in the poor box, but that
is my greatest sin."
The second sister got up and said, "My greatest sin is
drinking. Every year take the money out of the poor box
and drink for one week straight."
The third sister was sitting there being very quite. The
others told her: "come on now, we told you our worst sins,
what is yours?"
The third sister got up and said, "Well, I don't really have
any great sins, but I do gossip a bit now and then."

Texas woman arested after she brings her drugs to
police to get them tested for Ebola
A Texas police department posted a fake news alert on
Facebook warning of drugs contaminated with Ebola, and,
incredibly, one woman actually showed up for the
“screening” and was promptly arrested.
“This morning, we had our first concerned citizen notify
the Granite Shoals Police Department that they believed
their methamphetamine may be tainted. Our officers
gladly took the item for further testing,” the
department posted on its official Facebook page with the
hashtag #notkidding.
Police also posted the booking photo of a smiling
Chasity Eugina Hopson, who now faces drug-related
charges.
Hopson was the first to respond to this “breaking news”
alert.
I looked all over to see if this was a hoax, but all the
news services reported it as a true story.

Re: Sort and weed out files
Dear Webby
... Now for my question, is there a Pro tip for sorting out
files, that is less cumbersome than dragging them to different
drives and directories?
Thanks
Caralee
Dear Caralee
First get "Search Everything" from my toolbox at
http://webby.com/tools
forget the Windows search, it is too slow and might crash
your machine.
Make desktop shortcuts to MID, MP3, MP4, etc., not too far
from the Recycle bin.
Then with Search Everything search for *.mid
and set the Search for Audio
The first time you use it, it will be slow, because it
catalogs all your drives. After that it will be lightning
fast.
Then go through the found list. Don't worry, unlike the
Windows search, it won't disappear when you click in it.
SHIFT Drag the keepers into the MID shortcut, and the rest
into the recycle bin.
Then do the same with MP4, and of course pictures and
videos.
There is no program, that will know which ones are keepers,
and which ones are not. Sorting the found bunch by size does
help. Most of the really small stuff is just nuisance anyway.
Just take your time and and wade through them.
Have FUN!

Here is an oldie-goldie that came back via the Folks from Erie:
An old woman is riding in an elevator in a very lavish New York
City building.
A young and beautiful woman gets into the elevator, smelling of
Expensive perfume. She turns to the old woman and says
arrogantly, "Romance" by Ralph Lauren, $150 an ounce!"
Then another young and beautiful woman gets on the elevator,
and also very arrogantly turns to the old woman saying,
"Channel No. 5, $200 an ounce!"
About three floors later, the old woman has reached her destination
and is about to get off the elevator.
Before she leaves, she looks both beautiful women in the eye,
then bends over and trumpets a fart like the finale of an opera.
Just before the elevator doors close behind her, she turns and
whispers into the eyewatering fumes:
"Broccoli, 49 cents a pound."

Sitting by the window in her convent, Sister Anne opened
a letter from home and found a $10 bill inside.
As she read the letter, she caught sight of a shabbily
dressed stranger leaning against a lamppost below.
Quickly she wrote, "Don't despair, Sister Anne" on a piece
of paper, wrapped the $10 in it and dropped it out the window.
The stranger picked it up and, with a puzzled expression
and a tip of his hat, went off down the street. The next day
Sister Anne was told that a man was at the door,
insisting on seeing her.
She went down and found the stranger waiting.

A few years ago the battery in my beat-up VW Beetle had
died because I left the lights on overnight. I was in a hurry to
get to work on time so I ran into the house to get my wife
to give me a hand to start the car. I told her to get into
our second car, a prehistoric oversized gas guzzler, and use
it to push my car fast enough to start it. I pointed out to
her that because the VW had an automatic transmission, it
needed to be pushed at least 30mph for it to start.
She said fine, hopped into her car and drove off.
I sat there fuming wondering what she could be doing.
A minute passed by and when I saw her in the rear-view mirror
coming at me at about 50 mph, I realized that I should have
been a bit clearer with my directions.
