I accompanied my husband when he went to get a haircut.
Reading a magazine, I found a hairstyle I liked for
myself, and I asked the receptionist if I could take the
magazine next door to make a copy of the photo.

"Leave some ID, a driver's license or a credit card," she
said.

"But my husband is here getting a haircut," I explained.

"Yes," she replied. "But I need something you'll come back
for."

A new miracle doctor was in town.
He charged $100 in advance, with a full money-back
guarantee if his miracle did not cure a person.
He could cure anything and anybody, and
everyone was amazed with what he can do.

Everyone except for Mr. Smith, the town grouch.
So Mr. Smith went to this 'miracle doctor to prove that he
wasn't so miraculous.

He goes and tells the doctor, "Hey, doc, I have lost my
sense of taste. I can't taste nothin', so what are ya goin
to do?"

The doctor scratches his head and mumbles
to himself a little, then tells Mr. Smith,
"What you need is jar number 43."

Jar number 43? Mr. Smith wonders.

So the doctor leaves and after five minutes brings a jar
and tells Mr. Smith to taste it.

He tastes it and immediately spits it out,
"This is gross!" he yells.

"I just restored your sense of taste Mr. Smith," says the
doctor. I will keep your $100.

So Mr. Smith goes home very mad.

One month later, Mr. Smith goes back to the
doctor along with a new problem, "Doc," he starts,
"I can't remember!"

Thinking he got the doctor, the doctor scratches his head
and mumbles to himself a little.
Then  tells Mr. Smith, "What you need is jar number 43..."

Before the doctor finished his sentence,
Mr. Smith fled the office.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Darryl Ingram,
49,
Goodyear, 
Arizona

Arizona Father charged with child abuse after 
using taser on 11 year old son six times in a year
to get him to do his homework.

Bus Driver Asked Boy About Marks on Shoulder. He Says
They’re From a ‘Toy’ His Dad’s Been Using.

Ingram reportedly tried to trick him into thinking he was
using a phone app to punish him, not a real Taser — but
the injuries the child suffered were all too real.

The 49-year-old father denied using a real Taser on his
son, claiming he only used an app on him.

The father told police he didn't even have a Taser, but
authorities found one and a family member confirmed that
Ingram owned it.

Ingram then allegedly admitted to police later that he
used a real Taser on his son one time. He explained:

"I was telling him this is a toy compared to what police
use. I just kind of showed him against myself. It
basically is like a pinch. It doesn’t deliver much voltage
or anything. It does kinda like pinch the skin.”

He also described his reason for using it:
"If your behavior and the way you’re doing things
continues on, somewhere down the line, this is something
that is going to be used on you. You have to be obedient.”

Ingram has been charged with child abuse for his actions.

This isn't the first time Ingram has been investigated for
abuse. On another occasion, school officials called child
welfare workers to report that the father allegedly hit
his son. Court records show that the case was later
dismissed.

His 11-year-old son has been removed from his custody and
is now living with his mother in another state, 

where the sweet little angel will do his homework without
needing a jolt six times a year.

--------------------------
Considering that one jolt was not enough and that he
needed five reminders throughout the year, some stronger
punishment might be necessary. 

The carpet beater used for dusting my butt worked fairly
well, especially with having to hang all the carpets on
the fence afterward and having to beat them until they
were clean, with all the neighbor kids snickering at a
safe distance.
By the time we got a vacuum cleaner, I had learned to
behave.

Reusing Broken Terra Cotta Planters 
By Sandra
When one of my terra cotta planters crack, or break, I
take a hammer and remove the broken side and then place
the good half in front of a plant in my garden.
I cover the edges of the planter with just enough soil to
hide them so it looks like the other half is buried.
I love how it appears that the plant is 'growing' out of
the half buried planter.
And with the broken half that I hammered away from the
good half, I hammer the pieces small enough to use in the
bottom of another planter for drainage.
There is no waste of a terra cotta, or clay pot, at my
house. :-)


You can glue them back together with white or yellow
carpenter`s glue, or cement milk. (Cement and water)
Usually that is stronger than original, but if you are
worried, you can get the mesh that the sheet rockers use
for gypsum board, smear some cement milk in the break
area, dip the mesh in cement milk and slap it on.
The rest of the pot may get broken some day, but that
repair will remain solid.
You can also wash the pot with cement milk to give it a
grey, rock color appearance.

After digging to a depth of 100 metres last year,  Russian
scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000
years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors
already had a telephone  network one thousand years
ago.

So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed,
American scientists dug 200 metres and headlines in the US
papers read: "US scientists have found traces of silica,
indicating 2000 year old optical fibres, and have
concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-
tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the
Russians."

One week later, the  Canadian newspapers reported the
following: "After digging as deep as 500 metres,  Canadian
scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have
concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were
already using wireless technology.

------------------
Yep. That's right. Smoke signals are definitely wireless.
To this day half the Government is accusing it the other
half, that their posturing is just smoke and mirrors,
while those in turn are trying to tax smoking out of
Canadian life. However, if everybody stopped smoking, the
Government couldn't afford medicare!

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Wesley Correa-Carmenaty, 
22,
Council Bluffs, 
Iowa

Illegal alien from Dominican Republic escaped after
sentencing for murder, then killed one deputy and 
injured another one.

The Pottawattamie County deputy killed by an escaped
convict has been identified as Mark Burbridge. Deputy
Burbridge is a 12-year veteran of the Pottawattamie County
Sheriff's Office. Deputy Pat Morgan, a 10 year veteran,
was also shot. He is now in stable condition at an Omaha
hospital.

The deputies were transporting two prisoners from the
courthouse and arrived at the jail when the incident
occurred. Wesley Correa Carmenaty, 22, assaulted both
deputies. Correa Carmenaty was able to take one of the
deputies' firearms and shot both deputies. Correa
Carmenaty then fled the sally port in the jail van. He
crashed through west door of the jail, and left with the
van. Phyllis Malm was at the jail visiting her brother and
heard the gunshots.

“Before the gunshots, you heard a bunch of commotion. Then
you heard somebody saying 'he’s got a gun, he’s got a gun
and then you heard four shots go off,'” Malm said. “Here
comes this van barreling out from the other side, the exit
of the garage."

At the intersection of 16th and Big Lake Road, Correa
Carmenaty stopped the van and attempted to carjack an S10
pickup. The driver, Jerry Brittan, 30, was shot once. His
injuries are not life-threatening. Correa Carmenaty
carjacked Amy Kanger, 31, near 2500 Ave. of Avenue I.
Officials said he forced her back into the Nissan. Kanger
was dropped off at 5825 N. 30th at RL Liquor in Omaha. A
pursuit ensued involving NSP, DCSO, OPD Traffic, Marshals,
Gang Unit, CBPD and Pottawattamie County deputies.

The pursuit came to an end when Correa Carmenaty
reportedly crashed near I-480 and Cuming Street. He was
taken into custody without incident. Correa Carmenaty and
two others were charged in the slaying of Anthony Walker
during a botched robbery in March 2016. Correa Carmenaty
was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to voluntary
manslaughter, attempted murder and two counts of robbery.

County Attorney Matt Wilber said Correa Carmenaty was
sentenced 45 years in prison with mandatory of 29.5 before
parole eligibility. He had his sentencing at 10 a.m.
Monday morning. Wilber said Correa Carmenaty wasn’t
remorseful during his sentencing. He spoke through an
interpreter. Wilber said during sentencing, Correa
Carmenaty said that Walker died because he shouldn’t have
gotten involved.

Correa Carmenaty is facing additional charges of 1st
degree murder, attempted murder and kidnapping. Additional
charges are pending.

He will get free room and board for a long time.

The US pint is indeed the same as the old Imperial pint
and is 0.83, about 4/5th of a modern UK pint.

When it comes to measurement units, Americans are 
loyal subjects of the (royal) British Empire, 
not of the (democratic) UK. That is why you use the 
Imperial pint and not the UK pint.

SC robber threw stolen gun in trash when chased by cops

Spartanburg police arrested a man Friday night outside of
Spring Fling after they say officers watched him throw a
gun away in a trash can.

After police caught the man, they realized the gun was
stolen and that the suspect had outstanding warrants.

Brian Edwards, 19, of Spartanburg was arrested on charges
of armed robbery, unlawful possession of a weapon, and
pointing and presenting a firearm.

Officers noticed Edwards walking with a firearm near the
library on South Church Street. Officers went to approach
Edwards when he ran, to which they say he threw a firearm
into a trash can at the corner of Broad and S Church St.

Other officers apprehended Edwards while they examined the
firearm which came back as stolen. The gun was a 9-
millimeter Glock  with a fully extended clip with one
round in the chamber, according to the report.

The weapon was stolen from an armed robbery in March,
according to Spartanburg County deputies.

A man called deputies on March 26th at a Waffle House on
Chesnee Highway, to report being robbed at gunpoint. The
victim told deputies that two men robbed him of his Iphone
and gun.

Container Gardening on a Deck

You can use extra buckets 3/4 filled with dirt as

Reported by the Bausell Sailor

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Brandi Deann Brigman, 
31, 
Chesnee,
South Carolina

SC Woman passed out behind wheel with kid in car.
Had meth, neddles, but no license and no insurance.

A mom with meth is accused of passing out behind the wheel
of a car with a small child in the backseat, according to
Spartanburg County sheriff’s deputies.

They say it happened Sunday on Highway 357 in Lyman.

Deputies say a man on the scene told them he tried to wake
up the woman, but she was unresponsive.

The woman was slumped over the wheel and the car was still
running, while a small child was unbuckled in the backseat,
according to an incident report.

The deputy says there was no way to buckle the child in with
all the clutter in the car.

The deputy says they were able to wake the woman up.

She was identified as Brandi Deann Brigman, 31, of Chesnee.

Brigman told the deputy she drove to the store to buy an
alcoholic drink to help with a UTI she thought she had.

Meth was found in Brigman’s jacket pocket, according to the
deputy.

Brigman failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for
DUI, according to the report.

Brigman was read her Miranda rights and reportedly told the
deputy she had a bag in her car that had needles and a pipe
in it.

The deputy found 7 needles with meth inside, a pipe and a
spoon with white residue, according to the report.

Brigman told the deputy she was going to register her
vehicle and get insurance when she could.

The report says Brigman was under suspension with a prior
driving under suspension charge within five years.

Brigman is charged with:
DUI 1st offense
Child endangerment
DUS 2nd offense
Uninsured vehicle fee violation 1st Offense

Looks like they forgot about the meth and accessories.
Or maybe the paper had only room for 4 Offenses.

Building a Stackable Potato Tower
 
By lalala... [825 Posts, 106 Comments]

Save gardening space potatoes and grow tons of potatoes by
building this stackable potato planter. This page gives you
step by step instructions to make a stackable potato
planter.

Growing potatoes is easy with this stackable planter. As the
plants grow, simply add another frame and more soil.

Supplies:
8 2x6 boards (10 ft)
2 2x2 boards (8 ft)
screws
outdoor latex paint
paint brushes
power screw driver
saw
tape measure

Steps in building the Potato tower

I did something similar in the
Yukon. I got a bunch of same size car tires from the dump,
stacked them, hammered in two pieces of concrete rebar for
guides just inside the tires, and then tossed dirt and
potato pieces into it. The tires absorbed more heat, and in
spring I used a plexiglass lid for a greenhouse roof.

Potato harvest was adequate considering the low effort put
into it.

I learned a much more effective and productive method later.
Raised bed for fashionable ease on ones aching back,
filled with compost, containing a fair bit of fish heads and
tails, and forest dirt. 
Then I tossed potato pieces onto the dirt, and covered it
with an old bed sheet.
Then I bent some concrete rebar into tunnel hoops, 
sleeved them with old garden hose, and covered the tunnel
with plastic.
After a couple of weeks the bedsheet raised up in spots,
where potato plants were growing underneath. So I duck-taped
a sharp fish knife onto a rake, reached into the tunnel and
stabbed the sheet where plants were raising it.
After that they grew fast! Naturally I watered them whenever
they looked wilted.

From mid summer on I could reach in under the sheet and
harvest a meal`s worth of clean potatoes. 

Those cheater harvests did not slow them down at all.

Naturally, you don`t really need a high-bed, if your back is
good and you like bending down. The potatoes dont care.

Potatoes grow OK in northern climates, but much better with
a bit more heat and water. Putting a plastic tunnel over
them at least doubles the crop.
Have FUN!

When my son was in the ninth grade, we reluctantly agreed to
let him move into the basement.  Then I realized how
convenient it was to get him to the breakfast table.
Before, I used to stand at the bottom of the staircase and
scream his name.  Now all I had to do was flick the
basement light off and on, and he was here.

One morning I flicked the switch, and nothing happened.  I
did it several more times.  "I'm on my way," my son called
up.

Re: Defragmenters

Dear Webby
http://www.glarysoft.com/disk-speedup/

This is my favorite now.
Seems to list all the drives i have connected.
And it does file placement if user wants a slow weekly or
night defrag.

Puts all the unused stuff out by the slower access tracks.
And the high use stuff on outer tracks where more data sits
on a track.
Less seek time?
Not mean much nowadays probably.

But it leaves the center for working storage space.

Can see when defragging done that the unused stuff not have
many frag bits.
So runs faster.
Moe

Dear Moe, and FranticFran
I downloaded and tried the free version of the Glary
Utilities.
First I used the included start-up manger. It showed me all
kinds of obsolete and useless stuff, for example all the
reporting to Microsoft about what I do. Total waste. They
are not interested in what we DO, otherwise they would not
have foisted the W10 user interface on us. So I unchecked
all of the stuff that is not doing anything useful FOR ME.

Then I went to the disk speed up part.
Analyze took a while, but not as long as some other programs
did. Then I hit defrag and let it do it's thing.

There is no point watching it do it's Tetris style shuffling
of colored blocks, so I did other work. While it was doing
the defrag some activities were slower. That is normal and
expected. I was pleasantly surprised how little it
interfered with work.

After a surprisingly short time everything speeded up and
when I looked, the Tetris game was finished and all drives
were defragged. 

Nice job, Glary!
There are still more goodies in the free version, that I
have not tried yet. And some day I will probably try the PRO
version.

For now I can definitely recommend the Glary Utilities.

Thanks Moe for telling me about it.


A word of caution:
In case you get drastic with eliminating all kinds of stuff
from the hidden start-up schedule, stuff that LOOKS useless,
do a back-up before you get too rambunctious! Some useless
looking stuff might be needed by some program.
Glary doesn't really delete them, just unchecks them from
the start-up schedule.

Have FUN!

A puzzled Mr. Tuttle went to the garage, and returned with a
hammer. The doctor thanked him and went back into the
bedroom.

A moment later, he came out and asked, "Do you have a
chisel?"

Mr. Tuttle complied with the request.

In the next ten minutes, Dr. Carver asked for and received a

request got to Mr. Tuttle. He asked, "What are you doing to

Three charged after Freeport home invasion

Three men arrested on several charges stemming from a Sunday
morning home invasion, Freeport Deputy Chief Matt Summers
said.

Harun Abdul-Haq, 19, of the 900 block of East Shawnee
Street, and Muhammad Abdul-Haq, 18, of the 1300 block of
West Elm Street, were charged with armed robbery, aggravated
battery, residential burglary, conspiracy to commit a home
invasion and theft under $500. Their bonds were set at
$100,000 each.

Summers said the two, who police believe to be brothers,
knocked at the door of a home in the 1200 block of South
Blackhawk Avenue around 3:45 a.m. They used an undescribed
ruse before a resident to let them inside and then they
threatened to shoot the victim. They stole about $50 and a
cell phone.

Summers said the resident told police he knew one of the men
was related to a particular family.

During the course of their investigation, police also
arrested Zaakir Abdul-Haq, 23, of the 1400 block of West
Beach Street on a charge of aggravated unlawful use of a
weapon and two alleged firearm owner’s identification card
violations.

His bond was set at $40,000.

You used to promote Diskeeper as the best defrag program.
But I have not seen your links to it for some time.
Did they not keep up with the times?
FranticFran

Dear FranticFran
That is exactly what happened.
First they had issues with high resolution monitors,
then when they got that almost fixed by using a huge, klutzy
font, then they fell down on USB connected external drives.

If you have USB connected external drives, then Diskeeper is
a total waste of installation time. Nowadays, when almost
everybody has a big external drive attached, you simply need
a better program than Diskeeper.

There are many available, and experts fight lengthy
religious battles about which one is better. 
I will ask Moe for his recommendation. He does comparison
tests of defrag programs. Look for his report right here
later in the week.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com

Making Soda Can Plant Labels
 
By EllenB [810 Posts, 1 Comment]
One of my favorite garden crafts is making homemade plant
labels from aluminum cans and wire clothes hangers. Not only
are they inexpensive and durable, but these labels are
actually attractive and fun to make. They are designed to
dangle freely on their supports, so when the wind blows
their movement makes a gentle clinking noise, turning your
tiny reflective plant labels into a collective army of
rabbit repellents.

Materials:
assorted aluminum soda/beer cans
wire clothes hangers
gloves (to protect hands when cutting cans)
old steak knife
scissors
needle-nose pliers
paper punch
ball-point pen
embellishment tools used (from Michaels craft store): 
scrapbooking scissors (Fiskars) 
3 in 1 corner punch (Fiskars) 
flower-shaped decorative brads (Provo Craft)

Directions:
Put on your gloves.
Use the tip of your scissors to punch a small hole on the
side of each end of the can. If your scissors isn't sharp
enough, use a steak knife or screwdriver to get the hole
started.

Using your scissors, cut off the top and bottom of the can
and discard the ends in your recycling bin. If you need to,
trim off any excess sharp edges from the remaining piece of
aluminum and finesse it a bit until it lays pretty flat.

Cut individual labels from the remaining piece of aluminum
according to the desired size. The shape and style of your
labels is highly personal. Cut them into circles, triangles,
rectangles, even flowers. To add some decorative flair, use
fancy corner punches or try trimming the edges with
scrapbooking scissors.
I add color-coded brads to my labels (I found some in the
shape of flowers). This helps me organize my plantings and
remember what color flower is coming up where. You're only
limited by your imagination so have fun with it! Just don't
forget to leave room to punch a hole for hanging and space
to write down the name of the plant.

To write names of plants on your labels, lay them on top of
a notebook or thick stack of newspaper and press down hard
with a ball point pen. Make sure to press hard enough so
that when the ink wears off, the name stays imprinted in the
metal. Create a hole for hanging using a paper punch (or a
hammer and nail).
Finally, use a wire cutter or tin snips to cut 7-8 inch long
support pieces from wire coat hangers. Make an "S" hook at
one end using a needle-nose pliers, hang the label on the
hook, and pinch the "S" shut to keep it from falling off.
Voila! You've got durable, inexpensive plant labels!

Jessica Storer, 28,
Derrick Storer, 33
Pandora-Gilboa,
ohio

Teacher, 28, and husband face jail after she had 
sex with student after her hubby plied teen with 
booze and watched them having sex.

Jessica Storer, 28, bedded one of her pupils after hubby
Derrick, 33, plied him with alcohol, a court heart.
The romp occurred the morning after the pair invited the 18-
year-old and other youngsters to their house.

"Mrs. Storer engaged in sexual intercourse with the student
while he was still under the influence of alcohol."
prosecutor Lilly Shun said.
Storer told the hearing the lad was not drunk. But Ms Shun
said he had admitted being under the influence.

Judge Randall Basinger asked Storer what happened.

"I was engaged in sexual conduct with an 18-year-old
student," she said.

The blonde mum met him while a substitute teacher at
Pandora-Gilboa High School, Ohio, USA.

She could be jailed for up to five years after pleading
guilty to sexual battery last November. Six counts of giving
alcohol to a minor were dismissed in a plea deal at Putnam
County Court.

But she will have to register as a sex offender for life.
She will be sentenced after the judge gets a background
report on her.

Her husband admitted three charges of giving booze to a
minor and faces up to six months on each count when
sentenced on May 16.

Police Chief Scott Stant arrested Storer last December 21
after a tip off.

The student told him he was at the teacher’s Pandora home on
the evening of November 25 and spent the night there after
drinking alcohol.

He had intercourse with her the next morning – and she
admitted it when quizzed by Stant on December 13, said court
records.

Re: Close-ups limits

Dear Webby
Regarding your explanation of fuzzy close-ups...Also note...
every lens has a minimum focal distance.  If you are closer
than that minimum (usually the center of the frame) it will
be blurry. 

Regards,
John 

Dear John
Right.
Nowadays that minimum limit is 8 to 12 inches.
It is always better to give it some extra distance,
at maximum resolution, and crop the picture later,
on the computer.

Providing some extra light also helps a lot.
Avoid dead-on flash, so that you dont get a flat looing
picture and deer-in-the-headlights stare.

Have you ever seen clip-art depicting photographers in the
1800s and early 1900's, holding up a flash pan.
Here is one:

Hold the flash, a slave flash preferably, up and to the side
like that photogrpher does, to get perfect contrast.
Slave Flash units are cheap. I have seen them for $12.

For indoor or group photography in low light conditions a
slave flash is an excellent tool.

In the old days, before electricity, they produced the flash
by igniting a mixture of gun powder and magnesium in a
metal dust-pan. The biggest magnesium flash ever set off was
for taking a picture in a stadium. It was rather smoky in
there after that!

Check Amazon for a battery powered slave flash suitable for
your camera. It won't smoke, but make a huge difference with
group or close up pictures.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Reusing Refrigerator Baking Soda 
By Bella Blue [47 Posts, 5 Comments]

No need to throw away that box of baking soda from your
refrigerator when it is time to replace it. While it is not
good for cooking, there are a lot of ways to use it up.

I also use the baking soda in my bathwater. It's known to
really pull out toxins in your body when paired with Epsom
salts and a few drops of lavender essential oil. I use 1/2
to 1 cup of both Epsom salt and baking soda. If you don't
believe me try it yourself. The color of the bath water
shows you just how much it pulls out of you, it's relaxing
too!

It also helps clean off residue left by other cleaners and
soaps. A tablespoon or two tossed right in the clothes
washer can help with extra smelly laundry. Especially men's
gym socks and pet beds, it really gets the smell out and
whitens whites, but doesn't hurt darks. It can also be used
to de-funk a washing machine or dishwasher. A couple
tablespoons is all you need for that.

I have used it to help remove bird poop from perches and
cages. It is safe to use around them, which isn't true of
most cleaners. Baking soda also works great for cleaning
walls and grout as well.

So now once the baking soda is done keeping my refrigerator
smelling fresh I use it for cleaning, bathing, and I even
use some sprinkled in the garbage cans to absorb smells too.

Gwinnett County,
Georgia

Teen admits to killing her grandparents and sealing 
up their room – then inviting friends over for a party

A Georgia teen who allegedly confessed to killing her
grandparents with her boyfriend, sealing up their room and
then hosting a party for unsuspecting friends, also planned
to kill several other people WSB-TV reports.

According to WSB-TV, Cassie Bjorge, 17, and her boyfriend,
Johnny Rider, 18, planned the murders of her grandparents
for days and thought out details such as caulking the doors
shut in the house to keep the odor of death from being
detected outside.

Gwinnett County Police Detective Dave Brucz told WSB-TV the
teens waited outside Bjorges grandparents home for the
lights to go out, then snuck into the couple's bedrooms.

"Johnny began to attack the grandfather, Cassie then said
she had a surge of energy," Brucz said in court Wednesday.
"She then dragged her grandmother into her grandfather's
bedroom, she was duct taped."

Investigators say the teens then beat the grandparents,
Randall and Wendy Bjorge, before slicing their throats and
leaving them for dead.

According to the report, Cassie Bjorge confessed to staying
in the home and smoking pot for a few days after the
murders. She even invited friends over for a party — friends
who had no idea what had happened.

Police say Bjorge confessed that she went as far as
pretending to be her grandmother via text message so family
wouldn't suspect anything was wrong.

"She admitted after the murder she was texting family
members because they were worried about them, and she was
pretending to be Wendy," Brucz told the courtroom.

WSB-TV reports the teens are not only accused of killing,
Bjorge's grandparents, but they are also of trying to kill
Rider's sister and boyfriend.

"She also said they were planning on killing Johnny's family
and there were plans on killing her mother also," Brucz also
told the courtroom.

When I take close-ups with my digital camera, the center
always seems to be fuzzy. Distance shots are clear, so it's
not a greasy fingerprint on the lens. It's a very small lens
and recessed anyway. What could cause that?
Thanks
Pat

Dear Pat
Especially with small lenses the aperture has to open up
wide if the lighting is low. That causes the area of 
sharpness to shrink to a thin layer. 

If you can add extra light, that will thicken the layer of
sharpness. When you can't add light, go farther away.
Use the highest resolution you got, and then later crop
the picture to get your close-up.

When you are really close, the layer that is in focus is
maybe half an inch thick. That might be the tips of a 
flower, and the inner parts of a deep blossom might
be fuzzy. From a few feet away, the layer of sharpness
would be 5-6 inches and plenty to show the entire flower
nice and sharp.

Close-up lenses and microscopes are no help at all. 
They make that effect even worse. 

Using the flash often helps. The camera pre-calculates
the effect of the flash and squints down the aperture. On
a close-up most of the flash will shoot right by it and what
light from it, that hits the object, will be at a good 
angle and improve contrast. 

If you plan to take a lot of close up pictures, select a 
camera with a large lens to capture as much light as 
possible, so that it will narrow down the aperture. 

Shoot the picture at the cameras highest resolution,
and then crop it down to 1024 x 768, which is probably
the largest size picture that you would use on a web
page. 
Have FUN!

Recently a large seminar was held for ministers in training.
Among the guests were many well-known motivational
speakers.
One such boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering the
entire crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life
were spent in the arms of a woman that wasn't my wife!" The
crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, "And that woman
was my mother!" The crowd burst into laughter and he gave
his speech, which went over well.

About a week later one of the ministers who had attended the
seminar decided to use that joke in his sermon. As he shyly
approached the pulpit one sunny Sunday, he tried to
rehearse
the joke in his head. It seemed a bit foggy to him this
morning. Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The
greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of another
woman that was not my wife!" His congregation sat shocked.

After standing there for almost 10 seconds trying to recall
the second half of the joke, the pastor finally blurted out,
"...and I can't remember who she was!"

Water Saving Tip #4 
When you are waiting for hot water to warm up put a 
watering can under the faucet. Once full use it for 
gardening. Place a bucket in your shower to catch 
water that is wasted while you wait for it to warm up.

Sundays this procedure worked in reverse with my sister
departing by train ten minutes before my wife arrived.

One evening after my sister left and while I awaited my

A couple of women were playing golf one
sunny Saturday morning. The first of the
twosome teed off and watched in horror
as her ball headed directly toward a four-
some of men playing the next hole.

The ball hit one of the men and he immediately
clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to
the ground and proceeded to roll around in
obvious agony.

The woman rushed down to the man and
immediately began to apologize. "Please allow
me to help. I'm a physical therapist and I know
I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me,"
she told him earnestly.

"Ummph, oooh, noooo... I'll be fine in a few
minutes", he replied breathlessly as he
remained in the fetal position still clasping his
hands together at his crotch.

But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to
help him. She gently took his hands away and
laid them to the side, she loosened his pants,
and put her hands inside. She began to massage
his privates.

She then asked him, "How does that feel?"

He replied still in agony, "It feels great, 
but my broken thumb still hurts like hell!"

told me that she had a new high tech mouse with "no balls!"

A young husband comes home one night, and his
wife throws her arms around his neck: "Darling,
I have great news: I'm a month overdue. I think
we're going to have a baby! The doctor gave me
a test today, but we until we find out for sure,
we can't tell anybody."

The next day, a guy from the electric company
rings the doorbell, because the young couple
hasn't paid their last bill: "Are you Mrs.
Smith? You're a month overdue, you know!"

"How do YOU know?" stammers the young woman.

"Well, ma'am, it's in our files!" says the man
from the electric company.

"What are you saying? It's in your files?????"

"It sure is!"

"Well, I will talk to my husband about this tonight !"

That night, she tells her husband about the
visit, and he, mad as a bull, rushes to the
electric company offices the first thing the
next morning. "What's going on here? You have
it on file that my wife is a month overdue?
What business is that of yours?" the husband
shouts.

"Just calm down," says the clerk, "it's nothing
serious. All you have to do is pay us."

"PAY you? and if I refuse?"

"Well, in that case, sir, we'd have no option
but to cut you off."

"And what would my wife do then?" the husband asks.

"I don't know. I guess she'd have to use a candle."

Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there
for a number of years when he came home one day to confess
to his wife that he had a terrible compulsion. He had an
urge to stick his penis into the pickle slicer. His wife
suggested that he should see a sex therapist to talk about
it, but Bill indicated that he'd be too embarrassed. He
vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own.

One day a few weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen.
His wife could see at once that something was seriously
wrong.
"What's wrong, Bill?" she asked.

"Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous
urge to put my penis into the pickle slicer?"

"Oh, Bill, you didn't."

"Yes, I did."

"My God, Bill, what happened?"

"I got fired."

"No, Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?"

[Arkansas Democrat Gazette] Two local men
were seriously injured when their pick-up truck left the
road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway
38 early Monday morning. Woodruff County deputy Dovey
Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight
Monday. 

Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc and Billy Ray
Wallis, 38, of Little Rock are listed in serious
condition at Baptist Medical Center. The accident
occurred as the two men were returning to Des Arc after a
frog-gigging trip. On an overcast Sunday night, Poole's
pick-up truck headlights malfunctioned. 

The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older
model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not
available, Wallis noticed that the .22 caliber bullet
from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to
the steering wheel column. 

Upon inserting the bullet, the headlights again began to
operate properly and the two men proceeded east toward the
White River bridge. After traveling approximately twenty
miles and just before crossing the river, the bullet
apparently overheated, discharged and struck Poole in the
right testicle. The vehicle swerved sharply to the right,
exiting the pavement and striking a tree. Poole suffered
only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident, but will
require surgery to repair the other wound. Wallis sustained
a broken clavicle and was treated and released. 

"Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his
ball off, or we might both be dead," stated Wallis. 

"I've been a trooper for ten years in this part of the
world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe that
those two would admit how this accident happened," said
Snyder. 

Upon being notified of the wreck, Poole's wife Lavinia asked
how many frogs the boys had caught and did anyone get them
from the truck.

service being what it is today. A lady here died this past 
January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for 
their service charges on her credit card, and then added 
late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance 
had been $0.00, now is somewhere around
$60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank:

Family Member: "I am calling to tell you that she died in 
January."

Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees 
and charges still apply."

Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to 
collections."

Citibank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has 
been."

Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out 
she is dead?"

Citibank: "Either report her account to the frauds division 
or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!"

Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?"

Citibank: "Excuse me?"

Family Member: "Did you just get what I was telling you -
 the part about her being dead?"

Citibank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor."

Supervisor gets on the phone:
Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in

Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late

Citibank: (Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?"

Family Member: "No, I'm her great nephew." 
(Lawyer info given)
Citibank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"

Family Member: "Sure." (fax number is given)

After they get the fax:
Citibank: "Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't 
know what more I can do to help."

Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! 
If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she 
will care."

Citibank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply."

Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?"

Citibank: "That might help."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Paul Hernandez, 
21,
Odessa,
Texas

Texas man arrested after he drove while intoxicated,
 with infant and teens in car, and crashed into two homes

A man was arrested after police say he drove a car while
intoxicated with an infant and two teens inside and crashed
into two homes.

Paul Hernandez, 21, has been charged and arrested for
Driving While Intoxicated with a Child Passenger, a State
Jail Felony.

According to the Odessa Police Department, their officers
responded to the 900 block of Munos around midnight Saturday
for a call of a major crash.

When police arrived on scene they found that a white GMC
Sierra had crashed into a home in the 900 block before then
driving on and crashing into a second home in the same
block, according to OPD.

Witnesses at the scene were then able to detain the driver
until officers arrived.

The driver was identified as Hernandez. It was also learned
that three passengers were in the car, including a 15-year-
old boy, 14-year-old boy and a five-month-old girl.

According to police, officers on scene could smell a strong
odor of alcohol coming from Hernandez's breath. He was then
placed into custody for driving while intoxicated before
being transported to the Ector County Law Enforcement
Center.

Re: On-Line Conferencing

Dear Webby
I got an ad about on-line conferencing.
Compared to on-location meetings $2879 sounds like quite a
big saving. How reliable are those on-line conferences?
A.J.

Dear A.J.
Ask your kids to show you how to use Skype for free, and
save those $2879. Or send them to me.
(The dollars, not the kids!)

The secret to good on-line conferences is the same as for
on-location conferences: Prepare, prepare, prepare!

Make a special folder for the conference, and put all files,
that you possibly might need, into that, so that there
won't
be any emabarrassing pauses while you hunt them down.

If at all possible, upload pictures and douments to a
conference site beforehand. That's the equivalent of the
printed reference material laid out in a traditional
conference or meeting. Ideally, you get everybody to read
the reference material beforehand, so that everybody knows
what the meeting is about, and you don't have to waste time
making speeches, but can skip right to the discussion part.

Just like with a traditional meeting it is extremely
important that you "dont let democracy break out" and the
meeting deteriorate into off-topic gossiping by individual
groups or pairs. Remind them that their gossip shows in the
log and WILL be printed for all attendants. That usually
shuts them up and lets you bring everything back on topic.

The success of an on-line conference does not really
depend on the brand of software you use, but on how
well prepared you are, and on how mean a tyrant you are.
Using standard meeting calls and procedures are absolutely
necessary, if you don't want the conference to deteriorate
into a chaotic party.

There are huge benefits to on-line meetings. You can have
advisors and helpers surround you and feeding you the
right links at the right time, draw up diagrams or
contracts, and it will all appear to everybody as if you
just had done all the homework.

While using video works quite well, we found it to be more
of a novel distraction than a conference tool, and have not
used it for serious meetings since about 1996. Video is
better suited to one-on-one meetings like interviewing
job candidates or performance evaluation meetings.

Have FUN!

Thanks to Andy for this joke:
A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one 
morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The 
engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have 
been waiting for 15 minutes!" 

The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen 
such ineptitude! Let's have a word with the greens keeper. 
Hi George! Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're 
rather slow, aren't they?" 

The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind

firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse
from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free
anytime." 

The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, 
"That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them
tonight." 

The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my 
ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can 
do for them." 

The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

Growing Your Houseplants in Water 
By EllenB [810 Posts, 1 Comment]
How It Works
Hydroculture is another word for hydroponics, a method of
growing plants in water containing dissolved nutrients. Many
of the foods we eat are produced this way commercially,
especially in areas where land for cultivating crops is
limited. A simple, scaled-down version of this technique is
an ideal way to grow many houseplants.
Plants are grown in containers filled with water and liquid
fertilizer. The plants take in nutrients from a water
solution through their "water" roots. After continuously
being submerged in water, they have adapted by developing a
greater capacity to store oxygen. Once the hydroculture
system has been set up, a float in the reservoir indicates
when it's time to add more solution.

The Advantages
No more guessing how much to feed and water. One of the
fastest ways to kill a houseplant is by giving it too much
or too little water. Or, not understanding how to properly
use fertilizer. With hydroculture, feeding and watering
requires little more than topping off water levels. In soil,
certain nutrients can remain fixed in the soil as insoluble
compounds. In hydroculture, nutrients are evenly available
to the root system, so plants tend to be more vigorous.
Reduces pests and disease. No soil means no more soil born
pests, including those creepy little potting soil gnats. You
can also say goodbye to mold spores and mildew-a boon for
those who suffer from allergies.

Lower maintenance. Hydroculture is cleaner and easier to
maintain. By eliminating dirt, you eliminate must odors and
messy spills. You'll need to water less often, transplant
less often, and worry less about leaving your plants
unattended while on vacation.

How to clean a CD

Good Morning, ,
Today is Wednesday, April 26

Thank You, Norma!!

We had snow almost every day for a week now. 4 inches today.
Calgary had 8 inches, Bragg Creek had 10. So much for
Gullible Warming!

Apparently collecting Carbon Tax to sabotage the economy and
to hire more burocrats does reduce the Gullible Warming. It
makes no sense to me, but since I am not a grant recipient,
they don't ask me anyway.

Well, we are in the cooling cycle again. 
The warming cycle started when Carl Sagans anti-muscle car
frenzy got going full steam. He blamed our muscle cars and
CO2 for the coming ice age. As soon as all the gullible
fools believed him, the cooling stopped and the warming
began. 

The warming cycle ended shortly after Al Gore's Gullible
Warming movie made him a few dozen Million bucks and
somebody bought him and Obama a Nobel prize.

I wonder who will champion the next "Ice Age Is Coming"
frenzy. 

Send in your nominations!

Have FUN!

Michigan barbarians destroy store and
run over manager

At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, three women pulled
up to a drive-through window at a Michigan convenience
store. Before it was over, the store was trashed and the
store manager was in the hospital — suffering from a broken
pelvis, fractured leg, and bleeding on her brain. And it was
all caught on surveillance video.

As reported by Fox 17, the whole thing started when one or
more of the unidentified women began arguing with the
manager, identified only as “Kristina,” about prices.

An employee of T&J Party Store, “Jose,” told the station:

“They were arguing about the price or something like that,
like the price was changing or something. So the owner gave
them the bottle to check everything and she just got tired
of dealing with it so she closed the window.”

It was then game-on.

In the video, the women can be seen walking into the store
and confronting the manager at the check-out counter. They
then storm out — tearing down shelves along the way. Jose
told Fox 17 the manager started chasing them.

"One of the two girls who came in after said 'well we'll
give her something to get mad about,' and they started
pulling down the shelves of the snacks. [...]

They pulled the shelves and that's when Kristina started
chasing them because they started running."

The parking lot surveillance video revealed what happened
next.

After the manager chased the women to their SUV, she was
knocked to the ground by the vehicle and run over. Jose
suggested Kristina is fortunate to be alive.

“I found her on the ground, she was laying there. If it
would've been a few inches further they would've run over
her stomach, so it was lucky that it wasn't and it was just
the legs otherwise it would've been worse.”

Fox 17 reported late Friday night that no arrests have been
made in the case, nor have the suspects been identified.

The 27 year old driver has been arrested, the teens 17 and
16 were let go.

I got a CD with a Net Guide Magazine and it is always
stuck on a page with rubberised solution...that's not a
problem....but they then gum the protective cellophane
envelope shut.  I managed to get the CD out of there and
then....stupid me !....after browsing it...I laid the CD
back down on top of the envelope on my desk and
Voila !....one unusable CD.

What can I use ....is there a safe solution that would
make my CD playable again  ?

I appreciate your sensible daily tips...so often things
I needed to know  !

I hope I don't have to go out and buy another magazine
to get the CD....it has some good programmes on it !

Kind regards!

Dear Ella
Soap and hot water don't hurt CDs. I would spray some
citrus based organic cleaner onto it, let it soak for a few
minutes, and then scrub it under hot water with a clean
microfiber cloth.

Dish soap should work too, but don't use dishwasher soap!
Dishwasher soap has abrasives in it.

Three old ornery grandmas were sitting on a bench outside
a nursing home. About then an old man  walked  by, and one
of the old grandmas says, "We bet we can tell how old you
are."

The old man said, "There ain't no way you can guess it."

One of the ornery grandmas said, "Sure we can! Just drop
your undershorts and we can tell your exact age."

He did.

The grandmas stared at him for a while and then they all
piped up and said,  "You're 84 years old!"

The old man was stunned.  "Amazing! How did you guess
that?"

The ornery old grandmas, laughed.  Slapping their knees
and grinning from ear to ear, all three happily yelled in
unison, "You told us yesterday!"

Baked Apple Egg Roll Recipes 
We made these delicious apple egg rolls for dessert tonight!
They were so easy to make and the vanilla whipped cream was
perfect for dipping. :)

Ingredients:
Filling:
2 apples (I used 1 Granny Smith and 1 Gala)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
4 Tbsp. flour
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/8 tsp. salt
16 egg roll wrappers
1 egg lightly beaten
Vanilla Whipped Cream:
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Peel, core, and chop up the apples. Add to a medium bowl.

Add remaining filling ingredients to bowl and stir until
well combined. Allow mixture to sit for about 10 minutes.

Put egg into small bowl and beat slightly.
Place a layer of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and
lightly spray with cooking spray.
Lay out one egg roll wrapper and carefully spoon about 2
Tbsp. of the filling onto the wrapper, near one of the
points. Fold the point over the filling and then fold the
two sides in towards the center. Brush the wrapper with some
egg wash and carefully (but tightly) roll up the egg roll.
Lay seam side down on prepared cookie sheet. Repeat until
all of the filling is gone.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, remove from oven and
brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and
sugar.

Return them to the oven for the remaining 5 minutes. Serve
immediately with vanilla whipped cream.

Vanilla Whipped Cream:
Place cream into a mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, beat
on medium-high speed. Once cream has begun to thicken, add
sugar and vanilla. Combine well, and continue to whip
mixture until stiff peaks form. Lightly sprinkle with
cinnamon.

Servings:approx. 16
Prep Time:20 Minutes
Cooking Time:20-25 Minutes

A rabbi and his two friends, a priest and a minister, played

that they lived in a very conservative blue-law town.

The sheriff raided their game and took all three before the
local judge.

After listening to the sheriff's story, the judge sternly
inquired of the priest:
"Were you gambling, Father?" The priest looked toward
heaven, whispered, "Oh, Lord, forgive me!" and then said 
aloud: "No, your honor, I was not gambling."

"Were you gambling, Reverend?" the judge asked the 
minister. The minister repeated the priest's actions and 
said, "No, your honor, I was not."

Turning to the third clergyman, the judge asked: 
"Were you gambling, Rabbi?"

The Rabbi eyed him coolly and replied: "With whom?"

Prisoner Tried To Carve ‘666’ Into His Forehead — 
It Didn’t Exactly go As Planned

In trying to prove he was crazy in a long shot bid to avoid
the death penalty, Nikko Jenkins only ended up proving he
was a major league moron.

Jenkins, 28, attempted to carve “the mark of the beast” into
his forehead. His major mistake was using a mirror, causing
his “creation” to come out backward.

However, with a series of upside-down 9s, Jenkins has
fashioned himself an entirely unique – and irreversible –
engraving. According to Omaha.com, Jenkins told his attorney
about the incident in a phone call from his cell in Omaha,
Nebraska.

The 28-year-old is in an ongoing appeal that he is mentally
unstable and therefore ineligible to face the death penalty.
His failed stunt was an apparent attempt to help prove that
case.

Re: Compressed "air"

Dear Webby
I know you have long badmouthed and condemned the use of
compressed air for computer cleaning, without ever stating
your real reason. The kids already know and talk about it.  
Maybe it's as well that the parents and grandparents do
too.  
(Yeah, I know, there are plenty of adult 'bone-heads" who 
would abuse them if told.
Martin
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/d/dustoff.htm


Dear Martin
Yes, it is true that stooopid kids inhale the compressed 
"air" from those silly cans that are sold to bozos to blow 
dirt and small parts to harder to reach places.

Techs have known or suspected for a long time that those
companies like Dust-Off just ship their toxic waste gases
all over the country, to get rid of them anywhere but in
their own back yard. We have also known for a long time that
a certain percentage of kids will sniff anything from 
gas to glue, if some other kids tell them it will make them
experience something strange.

So, since you now know that Dust-Off and similar cans of
compressed "air" contain toxic waste gases, supposedly
as a propellant, and that dumb kids sniff that stuff, don't
bring it into the house. Sure, not all kids who huff the
stuff will die, some will just get even dumber than they
are. But a certain percentage WILL die from huffing.

For the same cost as a large can of toxic waste gas 
propelled industrial air, you can get a small rechargeable 
battery powered vacuum cleaner and get rid of dust bunnies
instead of blowing them underneath heat sinks and other
hard to get to places.

If you do feel the insane urge to blow dust from the 
computer all over the house, put the crevice tool onto the
hose of the vacuum cleaner and plug the hose into the
wrong end of the vacuum cleaner. 

The fans in the computer will suck the stuff back into the
computer and you can repeat the procedure next spring.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Sap on Your Car 
It always best to remove sap from your car quickly, 
while it is still soft. The harder the sap gets, the 
tougher it is to remove and the more likely it is to 
scratch your car's finish. Make a paste with a mild 
abrasive like baking soda and apply to the sap, then 
rub it with a rag until the sap is removed. You can 
also try rubbing the sap with mayonnaise on a rag. 
I have also heard that WD-40 works well for 
softening sap so that it can be removed. 
Clean the area once the sap has been removed.

Celebrities when they were young.

A farmer lived on a quiet rural highway.  But, as time
went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming
rate.  The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his
chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six
a day.  So one day he called the sheriff's office and
said, "You've got to do something about all of these
people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens."

"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff.

"I don't care, just do something about those drivers!"

So the next day he had the county workers go out and
erect a sign that said:
SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING

Three days later the farmer called the sheriff and said,
"You've got to do something about these drivers.  The
'school crossing' sign seems to make them go faster."

So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and
they put up a new sign:
SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY

And that really sped them up.  So the farmer called and
called and called everyday for three weeks.  Finally, he
asked the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good.  Is it
all right for me to put up my own sign?"

The sheriff told him, "Sure thing, put up your own sign."
He was going to let the farmer do just about anything in
order to have him stop calling.  Well, the sheriff got no
more calls from the farmer.

Three weeks after the farmers last call, the sheriff
decided to call him.  "How's the problem with those drivers.
Did you put up your sign?"

"Oh, I sure did.  And not one chicken has been killed since
then.  I've got to go.  I'm very busy." And he hung up the
phone.

The sheriff thought to himself, "I'd better go to that
farmer's house and look at that sign...  There might be
something there that WE could use to slow down drivers."

So the sheriff drove out to the farmer's house, and he saw
the sign.  It was a whole sheet of plywood.  And written in
large yellow letters were the words:

  SLOW DOWN!

Shouting, cursing, and crying, Boudreaux says, 
"Who 'dat pig what did you like 'dis? I want to know!" 

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. 

Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of Boudreaux's 
house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair, 
impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit, steps out 
of the car and enters the house. He sits in the living room 
with Boudreaux, the mother and the girl and tells them, 
"Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the 
problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family 
situation, but I'll take responsibility. 

"If a girl is born, I will bequeath her two retail stores, a

townhouse, a beach villa and a $1,000,000 bank account. 

If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories 
and a $2,000,000 bank account. If it is twins, a factory 
and $1,000,000 each. 

However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest 
I do?" 

At this point, Boudreaux, who had remained silent, places 
a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, 
"Den you try agin!"

Connecticut dominatrix arrested for extortion

A Connecticut dominatrix who describes herself as a
“ruthless, plus size Bitch” in an online ad is locked up for
allegedly extorting hush money from a 69-year-old man whom
she recorded during their sessions, police report.

According to an arrest warrant application, the victim hired
Fatin Ann Ward, a 35-year-old convicted sex offender, after
spotting an ad she placed on Backpage.com. The victim, a
Mt.
Kisco, New York resident, told police that he traveled to
Ward’s Waterbury apartment for encounters with the
dominatrix.

In one online ad, Ward--identified as “Mistresses Teenie”--
declares that she is “black, dominant, ruthless” and has
“the desire to walk all over you. Literally.” The ad
concludes, “You shall submit yourself to me. Don't keep me
waiting, give into your desires and release your finances
over to me.”

Ward’s client told police that she recorded him during one
session. A subsequent police search of Ward’s phone turned
up photos and videos of the client performing oral sex on
Ward, sucking and rubbing her feet, and undressing and
cleaning the 5' 6", 216-pound dominatrix’s oven.

As first reported by the Republican-American's Jonathan
Shugarts, Ward allegedly threatened to distribute the
incriminating videos online unless the man paid her off. The
victim, cops say, agreed to hush money payments in excess
of
$5000.

The man, who provided Ward with more than half of the agreed
upon amount, told investigators that the dominatrix
contacted his wife and forwarded her the embarrassing
videos. In a phone call monitored by police, Ward allegedly
threatened to also send the footage to the victim’s
children.

As police executed a search warrant at her home, Ward told
investigators that she had not threatened the client, though
she did acknowledge that the man had not paid what he owed
her. Ward told cops that she had told the victim his wife
would “have a heart attack if she knew about his fetish for
black women.”

Pictured above, Ward was arrested last week on larceny,
voyeurism, and  disseminating voyeuristic materials charges.
She is locked up in lieu of $100,000 bond.

According to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division,
Ward--who has also used the surname Ahmad--is a Tier II sex
offender. She was convicted in October 2000 of an attempted
lewd act on a minor, a felony for which she served state
prison time.

Ward is required to register as a sex offender in both South
Carolina, where she was convicted, and Connecticut, where
she now resides. 

Her victim is a bonehead too, but there is no name or
mugshot available.

Re: "Email Account Suspension" Mail sent by scammer 

Dear Webby
I received all kinds of weird mail threatening to suspend
my email account if I did not open some attachment and do 
this or that. The mails pretended to be from some team at
my domain. Well, as you know, my team is me and my dog,
and neither one of us sends silly emails to the other.

What is it all about and how do I stop it?
Angel

Dear Angel
It's some silly spam sent by a scammer. 
Just make a filter in MailWasher that looks for
"Email Account Suspension" in the subject line,
and tell it to trash that mail automatically.
You won't see another one. 

Don't worry about that filter accidentally dumping
legitimate mail. Nobody will announce suspending
anybody's email. If email has to be messed with, because
that address has not been checked in a long time, and
the mail box has over 20 MB of spam in it, then there is 
no point adding a suspension notice to the end of that. 
The box will simply be dumped when it goes over the 
limit.

Have FUN!

Aluminum Foil as Alternative to Fabric Sheets

If you don't have fabric sheets or just don't want to buy

aluminum foil into a ball and toss it into the dryer. It
eliminates static cling, lasts a long, long time, and costs

Can't you find anyone who suits you?"

"No," Manny replied. "I meet a lot of nice girls, but as

Donna rides the bus to work every day.  Today
she's in some discomfort because she has a pain in
her lower abdomen.  She finally realizes that its
just a tremendous build up of gas from something
she ate.  The bus is quite crowded and she doesn't
know what to do.  Then she remembers that pretty
soon the bus will run across some railroad tracts
and it will rattle and bang and make lots of
noise.  She will be able to pass this gas and
nobody will know.

What she doesn't know is that the bus driver also
rides the bus everyday and has grown tired of all
the noise the bus makes when it rattles and bangs
across the railroad tracts.  So last night he
stayed after work and had the maintenance crew
tighten up all the loose bolts and lubricate all
the moving parts to quiet down the old bus.

Well, here come the railroad tracts, Donna
raises up on one cheek and lets it rip.  It was
one long, loud, juicy sounding fart.  The bus
didn't rattle and bang like it usually did and now
you could hear a pin drop inside the bus as
everybody started looking around.

Donna thought that maybe no one knew who
did it and that she should just act natural.  She
thought she should just start a conversation with
someone as if nothing had happened.  She leaned
over to the man sitting across the aisle and
casually asked him, 'Do you have a transfer?'
He politely responded, 'No I don't, but the next

2 NH women arrested for Pizza Dewlivery man stabbing

Two women face felony charges in connection with the
stabbing and armed robbery of a pizza delivery man Saturday
morning, police said. The incident happened on Trinity
Street and the victim, who was not identified, was treated
and released from Valley Regional Hospital, Claremont Police
Capt. Brent Wilmot said in a news release.

Acting in part on tips from the public and an investigation
that included reviewing video surveillance footage from a
nearby location, police arrested Debra Pitts, 31, of
Claremont, and Jennifer Tozzi, 34, at a Claremont residence
at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

Tozzi also had a warrant out for her arrest in connection an
incident out of Grafton County, police said. Her hometown
was not indicated in the release.

Pitts faces a robbery charge and Tozzi has been charged with
conspiracy to commit robbery. The charges filed against both
are Class A felony-level offenses, the release said.

Pitts and Tozzi remain in custody and scheduled to be
arraigned on Monday in Claremont District Court.

An earlier police news release said an order from Domino’s
was being delivered to an apartment on Trinity Street when
the delivery driver was attacked as he arrived at the
apartment.

The driver was stabbed several times and a small amount of
money was taken. A neighbor who heard the attack intervened
and threatened to call the police, at which point the two
suspects fled on foot in the direction of Franklin Street.

Pitts lives on Trinity Street, though Police Chief Mark
Chase declined to say whether she had initiated the call to
Dominos.

“This has all the signs that it’s more than likely drug-
related,” Chase said before the arrests were made. “We’re
definitely looking at that angle. It’s just what everybody
in the state is dealing with.”

Staff at the Claremont Dominos on Saturday morning
acknowledged that the driver was recovering from his
injuries, but referred questions to a manager, who did not
immediately respond to requests for comment.

Re: Static strap

Dear Webby

says I should wear an grounding wrist strap available

Thanks for your newsletter, pictures and always

Dear Rosalind
Double your money.
Just fold it in half and stick it back into your wallet.

With today's electronics, static is not really a problem 
any more. However, if you routinely get zapped when you 
touch door knobs or the back of the computer, then take 
a couple of feet of any flexible wire, strip the insulation
of the last few inches, tie one end to bare metal at the
back of the computer, and loop the other end through your
watch band o around your wrist. 

When you work on the computer, always leave it plugged in, 
so that it is properly grounded. Anybody who tells you to 
unplug the computer is a clueless idiot.

Turn the switch on the power supply in the back to OFF. 
It will cut off all power, but will leave the ground
securely connected. 

When done, remember to turn the power supply switch 
back ON.

Make sure that your Ethernet cable is long enough, plug it 
into the port, and secure the cable to any vent holes in the

back with a tight nylon quick-tie.
That way no strain is put onto the delicate socket and plug,
and it is not damaged when somebody trips over the cable 
or somebody pulls on it while trying to straighten out the 
cable mess behind the computer.

Have FUN!

David Harlow, stole his dates purse on 
their first date in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Phoenix Police Department says 38-year-old David Harlow
has been arrested for allegedly stealing a woman’s purse
during a first date.

Police say Harlow met the woman on Tinder, and the two
talked for several weeks before meeting in person at a
resort in Phoenix. 
During the date, the victim went to the restroom and asked
Harlow to watch her belongings. When she got back, Harlow
and her purse were reportedly gone.

Harlow allegedly took the victim’s credit card to a casino
and tried to withdraw money from several banks.
"I feel like I took the appropriate cautions with this," the
woman explained in a recent interview with ABC15. "Meeting
him in public at a busy venue during the day." 

She says she felt comfortable enough to leave her belongings
with the man because she thought they had connected, and
had been talking for several weeks.

Police say Harlow has involvement in similar incidents in
the past. He has been booked on charges of felony theft,
theft of a credit card, and taking the identity of another.

Re: Modem heater

Dear Webby
My good old DSL modem died and I had to replace it.
The new one is not keeping my coffee hot like the old
one used to do. Any simple remedies for that?
Petra

Dear Petra,
heating coffee too long makes it sour and tasting bad.

Keeping it hot in a stainless steel thermos is a good
solution. Millions of industrial and mining workers 
have done that for many decades. I still have my good
old Stanley stainless steel thermos, that I bought, when I
was working at the ALCAN smelter in the 70s. It still works
fine, even though I dented it in a bad motorcycle accident
in the 80s.

They are probably a lot less expensive now.

If you do not want an industrial looking thermos on your
desk, search for "usb cup heater". 
Amazon lists them from $5 up. They range from dainty 
to cute in many designer colors.

They even have one, that you recharge from your USB port and
can then take along to the outhouse or picnic.

Cleaning Dirty Glass Bottles 
By Pattie McIntyre [38 Posts, 56 Comments]
Try filling the bottle about halfway with water. Add a
couple of tablespoons of ammonia. Using a funnel, pour in a
couple of tablespoons of raw rice. Shake vigorously, then
rinse. The rice "scrubs" the inside of the bottle. Hope this
helps.

In days past, children were given names that sound strange 
to us today -- Prudence, Charity, Faith, and so on. 
One boy was named Amazing, and he resented it all his life. 
People laughed at him because of it. He told his wife that,
when the time came, he did not want his name on his 
tombstone. 

When he died, she followed his wishes and put on the 
tombstone, 
"Here lies a man who was faithful to his wife for 60 years."

But even in death, he couldn't escape the curse, because 
everyone that looked at his tombstone said, 
"WOW! That's Amazing!"

Michael was an extremely avid golfer with a cynical 
attitude and arrogance, that when he passed away, 
few people shed a tear. 

Michael approached the Pearly Gates where St. Peter 
was waiting for him. Rather than pass through the gates 
as normal people had done, Michael stopped to ask a 
question.

"Before I agree to come in, I want to know exactly what 
kind of golf course you have here" he said to St. Peter.

"That shouldn't matter to you." said St. Peter.

"But it does. And then in his arrogant manner exclaimed 
"Well if I can't see it, then I'm not coming in!"

"Very well Michael. As you wish...look through the gates." 
He looked and saw the poorest, most rundown, excuse 
for a golf course that it made him sick to his stomach.

"Forget it. There is no way in Hell I'm going to spend 
eternity playing on that course!"

Just then, Michael heard the Devil calling him over his
gate. "Come over here and see what I have to offer." 
Michael peered through the gate and he is elated! 
There is the most absolutely fabulous golf course he has 
ever seen! He turns to the Devil and says 
"I want to be on THAT course!"

"Ok. Step on through and it's yours forever."

St. Peter pleaded with Michael as he headed off with the 
Devil and the gates closed behind him. Michael walked 
up to the first tee and said "I can't wait to play! 
Where are my clubs and ball? 

The Devil roared with laughter. "Oh, they are on the
other side!  That's why their course looks so worn out!"

It was Saturday morning as Jake, an avid hunter, woke up 
raring to go bag the first deer of the season. He walks 
down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, and to his 
surprise he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully 
dressed in camouflage. 

Jake asks her, "What are you up to?" 

Alice smiles, "I'm going hunting with you!" 
 
Jake, though he had many reservations about this, 
reluctantly decides to take her along. 
 
Three hours later they arrive at a game preserve just 
outside of San Marcos, Texas. 
 
Jake sets his lovely wife safely up in the tree stand and 
tells her, "If you see a deer, take careful aim on it and 
I'll come running back as soon as I hear the shot." 
 
Jake walks away with a smile on his face knowing that 
Alice couldn't bag an elephant -- much less a deer. 

Not 10 minutes pass when he is startled as he hears an 
array of gunshots. Quickly, Jake starts running back. 
As Jake gets closer to her stand, he hears Alice screaming, 
"Get the hell away from my deer!" 
 
Confused and frightened, Jake races faster towards his 
screaming wife. And again he hears her yell,
"Get the hell away from my deer!" followed by another 
volley of gunfire! 
 
Now within sight of where he had left his wife, Jake is 
surprised to see a Texas cowboy with his hands high 
in the air. 
 
The cowboy, obviously distraught, says, "Okay, lady! 
You can have your damn deer!
Just let me get my saddle off it!"

Priests just can't stay out of trouble here these days.
It seems the Church is being REAL careful and
smacking down some behavior that, in the past, would have
certainly been encouraged.

For instance, there's this tale of a priest I heard about,
who was trying to modernize the church.  You
know, to help bring young people into the fold.

But the Bishop stopped by and had a chat with the young
parish priest.

"John," the bishop said, "I don't want to say you've had no
successes.  You told us to put a little more beat in to the
music and that got some young folks back to church.  I
supported you, you know this, when you wanted a rock &
roll gospel choir."

"So," John asked, "What's the problem?"

"Well, it's that 'drive-thru' confessional idea you came up
with."

"What's wrong with it? Look at the line-up out there! I am
going to need a couple of helpers by the end of the month!"

"I think what drove the Monsignor over the edge was the
neon sign that said, 'Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell!'"

Re: Free music

Dear Webby
Is there a place on the web where you can legitimately
get free music, without worrying about getting in trouble.
I don't mean whole CD's, just enough of each artist to see
if their music is worth spending money on. 
Thanks
Alice

Dear Alice
Try http://www.soundclick.com/
You get one or two songs per artist there, just perfect for
finding out who is woth the cost of a CD. Quality is pretty 
good, but expect to have to adjust the volume for each
song. 

That site is better suited for serious research and Santa
Claus list building, than for casual background music. The
quality is excellent, but you have to keep selecting
artists.

I prefer http://accuradio.com 
There you select one of about a thousand channels like for
example "Blonde Country", or "70's Bluegrass" or "Brazilian
Jazz", or whatever you are in the mood for, and let it rip.
It will continue to play music from your selected channel,
and even remember your selection. 
You can rate individual artists, and skip the ones you don't
like, and even ban artists you don't like.

I have all the screechers banned and rated quite a few, so
my background music is quite pleasant.

Once there was a guy that needed to make some money.
He came up with an interesting plan.
He had seen an elephant stand on 4 legs, 3 legs, 2 legs, 
even 1 leg.
He had never seen an elephant stand on no legs.
So he went out and bought an elephant.

He posted a sign letting people know he was giving
$1000 to anyone that can make his elephant stand on no
legs.

For each try he charged $200.

So people came and went and the man was making alot of
money because everyone was failing.
One day, a man in a blue truck drove up and paid his
$200.

He walked over to the elephant with a large stick
behind his back.

He said "Now elephant, I want you to stand on no legs."

The elephant just stared.

So the guy walked around to the back of the elephant
and WHACK!!! with the stick, right in the unmentionables.

The elephant jumped up and the man received his $1000.

The elephants owner had to think of a better plan
because the guy took all the money he had made that day.

So he said, "I have seen an elephant shake his head up
and down but I have never seen an elephant shake his
head left to right."

So people came and went paying their money but never
getting the elephant to shake it's head left to right.

The man in the blue truck drove up and walked up to the
elephant and said, "Do you remember me?"

The elephant shook its head up and down.

The man said "Do you want me to do it again?"

Did he win another $1000 ?
Noooo, he didn't.
The elephant remembered him and his stick, 
grabbed both with his trunk and with a swift and straight
throw, threw them into a cement mixer across the street.

A nice girl brings home her fiancé to meet her parents. 
After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about 
the young man. He invites the fiancé to his study for a chat.  
"So, what are your plans?" the father asks the fiancé. 

"I am a Biblical scholar," he replies. 

"A Biblical scholar. Admirable, but what will you do to 
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in, as she's 
accustomed to?" 

"I will study," the young man replies, 
"and God will provide for us." 

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring,

When police arrived at the accident scene, Logan reportedly
began screaming and cursing at them. Following a brief
struggle, Logan was handcuffed and placed into a police
cruiser.

Seen above, Logan was charged with drunk driving, resisting
arrest, and endangering the welfare of a child. Logan’s son-
-who was not injured in the crash--was released into the

Re: Privacy and domain registrations

Dear Webby
Is it true that registering a domain causes a lot of spam
unless you pay a lot of extra money for those rip-off
proxy or private registrations?
Craig

Dear Craig
That depends entirely on where you register your domain,
Proxy and private registrations are indeed a rip-off, and 
cause a lot of unnecessary rigmarole. I don't advise them.

I have been registering domains for our clients for 25
years and know all the tricks. If you want privacy and 
eliminate all the spam associated with being listed as a
domain owner, I make you a special address for just that.
Then you set up a filter in MailWasher or your mail program
to filter all mail, that comes to that address, straight to 
the trash. 

If you ever do need access to that address, for example
to acknowledge an application for some address changes, then
you simply disable that filter for half a day.

For the billing address of your domain I always use our
billing address and pay for your annual renewal on your 
behalf. It then just shows up as a line item on your next, 
regular invoice. And we deal with the spam that is trying 
to get to your name registration billing address. 

Have FUN!

Best Ever Brownies 
By Holly805 [12 Posts, 10 Comments]
These are so rich and chocolatey! The recipe calls for cocoa
powder, which lasts longer and is a little less expensive
than baking chocolate. Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder when
possible. Great for any time, any season!
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: at least a dozen
Source: Recipe courtesy of my mom



Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup cocoa powder
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup walnuts (optional)
1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Steps:
Melt butter and shortening over low heat.
As soon as it is completely melted, whisk in the cocoa
powder and beat till smooth.
Stir in the sugar and remove the mixture from the heat.
Break four eggs into a separate bowl, to catch any bits of
shell, and then thoroughly beat into the sugary mixture. It
should become smooth and glossy.

Stir in the vanilla, and then stir in the flour and nuts
(nuts optional).

Pour into a greased and lightly floured 13 X 9 inch pan.
Gently push the batter to fill the edges of the pan and make
light swirls over the top. This is what creates that nice,
paper-thin crisp on the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.

If you want to dress up the brownies, Sift a little powdered
sugar over small templates. You can also cut out a
snowflake/flower pattern from a small circle of paper (which
is what I did). Hold the template in place on each
individual brownie while you sift the powdered sugar 1-2
tablespoons at a time over their tops. Gently lift off the
templates, making sure not to displace any sugar.

Enjoy!

They've just hit the beach in loud Hawaiian print  T-
shirts and sandals when they spot this hot blonde in a
tiny bikini walking  their way. As she walks past them,
she politely says, "Good afternoon, fathers."

Well, the men are amazed, because they can't understand
how the woman knew they  were priests. They decide to
go out and buy even wilder clothes, so they buy  tie-
died T-shirts, surfer shorts, and dark sunglasses. The
next day, they hit  the beach in their wild new
clothes, and the same blonde passes them in a string
bikini. As she passes, she says, "How do you do,
fathers?"

Well, the two priests are really confused, so they ask
the blonde, "Excuse me,  ma'am. We're not ashamed of
being priests, but how in the world did you know who
we were?"

The blonde replies "Father, don't you recognize
me? I'm Sister Catherine  from the convent!"

Thirty minutes had passed, and another relative asked,

"No, not yet," said the mother. 

After another half hour had elapsed, they asked again, 
"Can we see the baby now?" 
"No, not yet," replied the mother. 
Growing very impatient, they asked, 
"Well, when CAN we see the baby?" 
"WHEN HE CRIES!" she told them. 
"WHEN HE CRIES??" they demanded. 
"Why do we have to wait until he CRIES??" 
"BECAUSE, I forgot where I put him."

Florida waiter arrested for stealing $3,000 
diamond ring

A Florida waiter is accused of stealing a $3,000 diamond
ring that fell off a customer's finger.

Pensacola police tell news outlets that 27-year-old Wesley
Aaron Dicus was arrested Tuesday on charges of grand theft
and dealing in stolen property.

The Pensacola News Journal reports a 39-year-old woman told
police she believed the ring slipped off when she put lotion
on her hands. The ring was later identified on an online app
called OfferUp.

Police say detectives posing as a couple met with Dicus and
he offered to sell it to them for $2,000. Police arrested
him when the markings on the ring matched the woman's
description.

Dicus remains in jail on a $12,500 bond.

Re: Wacky punctuation marks on web pages

Dear Webby
Dear Webby:
Lately I have seen more and more web pages that have
question marks and wacky symbols where one would expect
a quote or double-quote mark or some other punctuation
mark. I have also seen it in some of the blander blogs. 
I won't visit those again anyway, because of their lack of
interesting content, but I am wondering if that is just 
sloppiness or some new trend. I have even seen it in
some articles on anti-government on-line "papers" like
CNN and NY-Times-online.
What's the story behind that?
Doris

Dear Doris
It's just sloppiness by people who don't know HTML, and 
who just quickly slobber their stuff into MS WORD and then
save it as HTML.

What is a real nuisance is that sometimes it looks OK, but
sometimes it doesn't.
You may have noticed in the Bonehead Awards, paragraphs that
I copied form certain online newspapers, also have that
problem. Usually I catch the stuff, but sometimes I don't
notice the curly quotes and similar gibberish from yuppies
pretending to be literate.

Sorry about that!
Have FUN!

for a similar pain.

After taking his wife's tablets for a week, the pain
disappeared but he developed two rather tender lumps, one

He went to his doctor, showed him the lumps, and explained
what had happened.

Whereby the Doctor called him all the fools under the sun,

Saving Money on Packed Lunches 
All four of my kids take packed lunches. To save money on 
the snacks that go in, I buy big bags of chips, cheeses, 
whatever, and bargain sandwich bags, then pack the snacks 
in them. Saves a lot over buying the individual snack packs 
that are made to fit into the lunches. I make my own peanut

butter crackers too, with saltines or Ritz-type. It takes a 
few minutes extra in the morning, but it does save money.

Police impersonator pulls over uniformed 
Miami-Dade police detective

A police impersonator chose the wrong person to mess with on
Friday when he pulled over a Miami-Dade police detective,
authorities said.

According to an arrest report, the detective was driving
north on Interstate 95 in a county-issued unmarked vehicle
when he was pulled over shortly before 7:30 a.m. by Marcos
Pacheco-Bustamante.

Police said Pacheco-Bustamante, 46, of Miami, who was
driving a Ford Crown Victoria, pulled up behind the
detective's vehicle and activated police sirens, causing the
detective to change lanes.

Police said the suspect continued to follow the detective,
so the detective pulled over to the shoulder of the road
near Northwest 119th Street.

The detective, who was in full uniform, got out of his
vehicle and realized that he was dealing with a police
impersonator, the report said.

The detective arrested Pacheco-Bustamante and searched his
vehicle, finding an H&K BB gun replica and a blue police
light, authorities said.

Pacheco-Bustamante was interviewed by detectives, who said
he confessed to pulling over other drivers.

Pacheco-Bustamante is being held at the Turner Guilford
Knight Correctional Center on a charge of impersonating a
police officer.

What Is Easter?
Three cheerleaders died in an accident trying to jump the
Grand Canyon. They are at the pearly gates of Heaven. St.
Peter tells them that they can enter the gates only if they
can answer one simple religious question.
The question posed by St. Peter is - "What is Easter"?
The first cheerleader replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the
holiday in November when we all get together, eat turkey and
are thankful." 

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

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

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

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

He then peers over his glasses at the third cheerleader and
asks, "Do YOU know what Easter is?"

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

St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.

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

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Robert Desmond Johnson,
38,
Plam Bay,
Floriduh

Robert Desmond Johnson arrested for giving his 
17 year old daughter pot brownies and having 
her sell them at a Floriduh High School.

A father and daughter went to jail after selling pot
brownies that sent two teenagers to the hospital last week,
according to the Palm Bay Police Department.

Robert Desmond Johnson, 38, of Palm Bay, and his 17-year-old
old daughter were each charged Friday with delivery of a
controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school. Johnson
was also charged with delivery of a controlled substance to
a minor, possession of cannabis with intent to sell and
possession of drug paraphernalia.

Police also charged a second teen with sale and delivery of
marijuana and two teens with possession of marijuana.

Thursday, a student became unconscious at Heritage High
School and was taken to Palm Bay Community Hospital by
ambulance, police said. That same day, some parents took
their teen to the hospital for similar symptoms, the
affidavit said. Police determined both boys had eaten
brownies baked with marijuana.

Johnson made the brownies and gave them to his daughter to
sell to her friend who attends Heritage, police said.

Officers arrived at Johnson's home Friday with a search
warrant. They recovered more than 400 grams of marijuana in
plastic bags and jars. Johnson told police he grows the
marijuana in his garage, the affidavit states.

Johnson posted $62,500 bail Sunday at the Brevard County
Detention Center in Sharpes.

Re: Telemarketer stop

Dear Webby
I have a better way to be rid of telemarketers than making
them wait as you suggested in today's Tech Support Pit.
 
  As soon as you are assured that it is an unwanted call 
Just press ############## several times in succession.  
I don't know how or why it works but I NO LONGER get calls.
 
I've been a fan of yours for over 10 years now and hope to
be for another 10 years.
Louis Beland

Thanks Louis!

When Barb was still working here, she used a little yellow
ducky squeaky toy upside down on her desk. When she got a
telemarketer, she whacked the little yellow ducky's squeaker
with her phone. That seemed to work quite well too.

Last Sunday, the Gospel was the one about the ten 
bridesmaids. The five good bridesmaids remembered to 
take plenty of oil for their lamps; 
five bad bridesmaids did not.

The priest at our church is always very fiery and his 
sermons always end on a high note.
Last Sunday the priest ended with...
"Where would you rather be? In the light with the five 
good bridesmaids or in the dark with the five bad 
bridesmaids?"

It seems I got that one wrong!

A man and a woman are driving down the highway when another
car passes them. The woman notices that the occupants of the
other car are young and obviously in love. The girl is
sitting very close to her boyfriend as they cruise down the
highway.

This causes the woman to think back when she and her husband
were young and in love, and wondering where the show of
affection had disappeared to over the years.

Finally she says to her husband, "Remember when we used to
be like that young couple? Where did the love go, honey?"

Her question was met with a few moments of pensive thought,
while he looked at his gnarled hands on the steering wheel.
Then he replied, "I don't know, but I haven't moved."

Good Morning, ,

It stopped snowing, and it started to melt. 
Typical April.

By the time you read this, I will be on the way to Calgary
to get more injections into my eyeballs. Barb, who used to
be my secretary, will be driving me, becasue after the
injections I can't see the road and traffic.
There won't be a Friday, Saturday or Sunday issue of the

issue.

That will give you time to print out yesterday's Hot Key
cheat sheet, and the one from today. That one is a repeat,
but quite a few subscriber asked to see it again.
Some people write those Hot Keys on a narrow masking tape
and stick that to the monitor frame.

In the good old days, when keyboards had the function keys
on the left, where God had intended them to be for getting
work done much faster, we had space above the regular keys,
where they put the functions keys now. In those days the
bigger programs like Word Perfect, Word Star, Quattro, Word,
etc. had cardboard strips with the hot keys printed on them
to lay up above the regular keys. You can still make one of
those, and just glue it onto the narrow free strip above the
functon keys.

'Hundreds of condoms' destroy pipe, 
police raid Texas massage parlor

A husband and wife accused of operating an Austin
prostitution ring are facing felony charges following an
investigation that began when police discovered a waste pipe
connected to the business was clogged with "hundreds of
condoms," according to records.
Juan Wang and her husband, Joseph Emery, the owners of Jade
Massage Therapy LLC, each face a charge of engaging in
organized criminal activity. Neither suspect was listed as
an inmate at the Travis County Jail on Tuesday afternoon.
The investigation into the massage parlor began Feb. 7, when
the property manager for the Jade Massage location in the
11400 block of North Ranch Road called police to express her
suspicion that prostitution was happening at the business.

She "became aware of a problem when an industrial waste
disposal unit connecting the property to city sewer services
became clogged and destroyed by hundreds of condoms,"
affidavits for Wang and Emery state.

The property manager's tip was the second complaint of
possible prostitution at Jade Massage that police had
received in three months.

After the discovery of the destroyed pipes, police searched
Backpage.com, which often solicits prostitution services,
for advertisements for the business.

They found several. Advertisements for Jade Massage were
posted on Backpage.com as often as two to three times per
day, the affidavits state.

In the following weeks, police staked out Jade Massage's
second location in the 9100 block of Anderson Mill Road.
Officers pulled over a couple of suspected john's who had
gone into the massage parlor, who allegedly both admitted
that they had paid for sexual services during their time
inside.

On March 22, members of the Austin Police Department Human
Trafficking Unit and members of the Criminal Conspiracy Unit
executed search warrants at the Alameda Trace Circle
location.

Inside, Wang was found inside a room with a nude man, and
another woman was found inside a different room with another
nude male, the affidavit states.
Police simultaneously executed a search warrant at Wang and
Emery's home and discovered over $65,000 in a safe.

Further investigation into the couple revealed Wang had been
stopped Feb. 5 at Austin Bergstrom International Airport by
a TSA agent who found $30,000 in "duct taped bundles" of
cash in her possession.

She claimed the money was earned from her massage business
and that she was taking it with her to China to pay for a
medical procedure. She was allowed to pass through with the
money, but only after the agent called Emery to verify her
story.

Both Wang and Emery would later tell police that they didn't
know the names of their employees, who were all located and
recruited by a "friend." Ledgers for Jade Massage showed no
payments to the women, but they did show that Jade Massage's
customers, almost all of whom were men, regularly tipped the
masseues between $40 and $120 on top of a $60 house charge.

Re: Old Keyboard shortcuts

Dear Webby
Yes, I remember seeing your standard keyboard shortcuts, but
thought I would remember each of them. Guess what? I didn't.
Can you show them again, please?
Connie

Dear Connie
You are not the only one requesting those. So here they are:

The F Keys (Function Keys) have gone more and more
out of style ever since some dingbats decided to put
them on top, instead of on the left side where God
intended them to be for maximum productivity, just 
so that they can make cubicles narrower.

The only common ones that are still surviving are these:

F1 is HELP
CTRL and F4 together closes a window
ALT and F4 together closes a program
CTRL and A together selects everything in the open window
CTRL and C together copies what you have selected
CTRL and V  together pastes what you have copied
CTRL and INSERT  together copies what you have selected
SHIFT and INSERT  together pastes what you have slected
SHIFT and DELETE together copies AND cuts what you
           have selected
CTRL and Z reverses the last action if it was a write or
delete, that is the UNdo key
CTRL S saves the file you are working on
CTRL and ALT and DELETE brings up the System Manager. You
use that for changing your password.
ALT and the SPACE BAR  together open the menu of the
   program you are in, or Launchy, if you are using it.
CTRL and F together is the search for a word in the open
 window.

Some programs use some of the other F keys as well,
but not in a world wide consistent manner. The ones I listed
are the only ones you need to remember nowadays.

There are also some Windows specific keys that use a
combination of the Windows key and a letter.
The "Windows Key" is the one on the bottom row, that has 
the Microsoft flag on it.
To save space here I'll use *W* for the Windows key

*W*  Opens the start menu
*W* and D  minimizes open programs
*W* and E opens Explorer at the top, not at some silly
location
*W* and F opens the file search (computer, not word search
 in the document you are in)
*W* and L  careful with this one, it has to do with logging
OFF or locking your computer
*W* and M  "Boss-Alert" key. Closes open windows, but
    hitting *W* M again does not pop them open again like
  *W* D does.
*W* and R  opens the RUN box.
    *W* R calc     opens the calculator
*W* and U opens the Utility manager for stuff like the
    narrator, magnifier, etc.

Have FUN!

Making Small Amounts of Homemade Bisquick
By Judy Pariser S. [133 Posts, 132 Comments]

I like to make my own Bisquick because it is more
economical, and I can't always use an entire box before the
expiration date. A lot of the recipes to make it at home
make very large quantities. I was really happy to find this
recipe. It makes 1 and 1/2 cups.

Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup flour (I used half whole wheat, half all-purpose)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup oil or shortening
Steps:
Mix all ingredients together.
Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other

friends for a long time..... but I just can't think of your
name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it.
Please tell me what your name is."

Australia

Australian Rapper Terry Peck skipped out on 
$621 food and booze bill

An aspiring rapper gorged himself on seafood and alcohol at
a Gold Coast restaurant and then fled into the surf without
paying his $621 bill, a Queensland court has heard.

Terry Peck, 33, allegedly devoured two lobsters, 17 oyster
shooters, a baby octopus, and several beers at Main Beach's
Omeros Bros Restaurant, all by himself, because his fan did
not want to be seen with him, before making his getaway. 

The staff from Main Beach restaurant took off in hot
pursuit.

Peck, who goes by the name 2pec, ran onto the beach and into
the surf, and efforts to cajole him back to shore were
unsuccessful.

Two police jumped on a lifeguard's jet ski, caught and
tenderized him and handcuffed him right in the ocean before
towing him to the beach.

Peck was charged with stealing and two counts of serious
assault of a police officer, and appeared in the Southport
Magistrates Court today.

The court heard Peck allegedly committed the offences while
on parole after being released from prison in February.

Re: Keyboard shortcuts

Dear Webby
I got all your old keyboard shortcuts and love them.
Do you have any new ones?
Mina

Dear Mina
Yes, there are some that are not in my old list of keyboard
shortcuts. They are for browsing and work on most browsers.
I use Chrome, except for posting on forums and for shopping,
where Chrome fails when you try to preview. For that you
have to use FireFox. They still have not fixed that Chrome
bug. 

OK, here is the most important shortcut, that you can't
replace by mousing around:
CTRL T

If you restart because of some silly updates or because your
147 open tabs got the memory all bunged up, the browser may
or may not open with all your tabs. Sometimes it may briefly
ask if you want it to restore all the old tabs. If you don't
get your curser onto that little pop-up within 1.5 seconds,
you are stuck with a browser, that has forgotten all your
147 tabs. 
Even worse, if you had 3 browser windows, each with lots of
open tabs!
Now what?
CTRL T restores one browser window with all it's tabs.
While you got your paws on the keyboard, hit it again!
CTRL T
and the next window is restored
CTRL T again, and the third window is restored!

If you accidentally closed a tab, and just as it cloed you
spotted something interesting?
CTRL SHIFT T re-opens it.

Got CTRL T firmly scratched into the monitor frame?

If you keep a whole bunch of tabs open, then you really
should get the ONE-TAB browser extension.
It is like a manageable history.

ALT SHIFT Z closes a tab and puts it into the ONE-TAB list.
You can re-open it at any time.
You can even change ALT SHIFT Z to whatever is most
comfortable for your hand.
Isn't that downright civilized?

Also very handy is the space bar when you are reading a long
article. It scrolls you down one paragraph.

You probably know about CTRL D for bookmarking a page and
putting it into the chaos, where you can never find
anything.
If you ever want to make the bookmarks usable, export them
and put them into a spreadsheet. 

Add a new column on the left and put rating numbers or
category codes into that column. Yes, I know, the exporting
from Chrome rather lame. You can't export in CSV format,
just in HTML, but most modern spreadsheets can handle that.

After you have your bookmarks in a spreadsheet, dump the
ones in the browser and start fresh. 
That way you can simply add the fresh ones once a month or
year to the spreadsheet.

In the spreadsheet, of course, you can sort them any way you
want and re-sort differently in a second.

Next one is CTRL K
If you want to search for purple peale eaters, hit CTRL K
and the search bar opens, start typing your search phrase
and hit ENTER.

CTL L gets the cursor to the URL line, ready to type in the
domain name of your choice.

Overloaded your memory yet?
Say you want to go to the 7th tab. CTRL 7
CTRL and the number of the tab you want, jumps you there.

OK, OK, I'll quit in a moment.
One more important shortcut. Lets say you want slightly
bigger fonts: CTRL +
Smaller: CTRL -

There are a few more, but these are the most important ones.

Garlic Bread Recipes
By katrine2706 [85 Posts, 33 Comments]
Garlic bread is my favorite. I love the aroma and the rich
flavor of garlic. But it is not always available in most
bakeries here in my province so I make my own simple garlic
bread recipe at home.
Garlic breads are also often sprinkled with garlic powder
but in my recipe I chose to use real garlic clove as it adds
more aroma and flavor plus I don't have to buy the powder
which costs $1.46 while the garlic clove is only $.10. That
means it is another big savings for a thrifty mom like me.

Ingredients:
sliced bread
1 Tbsp salted butter
1 tsp grated garlic

Steps:
Melt butter in a saucer. Stir in the grated garlic clove
until distributed.

Brush the mixture all over the sliced bread. You can use
unsalted butter if you wish but salted butter works well for
me because I don't have to garnish my bread with salt.

Bake/toast in 180 C for 10 minutes. Serve hot!

Traditional Garlic Bread uses
Italian or French bread, that you slice yourself, thick.
Because gluten and me don't get along anymore, I had to step
back from those nicely crusty breads. You can use "Texas
Toast" bread. It is similar, cut thick, and has a LOT less
gluten. The end result tastes almost exactly the same, but
no Gluten hassle
Have FUN!

An 85-year-old man went to his doctor's office to get
a sperm count. 

The Doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this
jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow." 

The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the
doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as
clean and empty as on the previous day. 

The doctor asked what happened and the man explained:
"Well, doc,it's like this - First I tried with my
right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left
hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for
help. She tried with her right hand, then her left,
still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with
the teeth in, then with her teeth out, and still
nothing. We even called up Earleen, the lady next
door and she tried too, first with both hands, then
an armpit and she even tried squeezin' it between her

The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor?"

then coerced them into sending naked pictures of themselves,
which he forwarded to other children, the court heard.

Re: Euro vis "bent e"

Dear Webby
On items from Europe I see a symbol that looks like a 
slightly bent "e", but the same size as a CAP letter.
Is that a lazy form for the Euro symbol, or what is it?
Ron

Dear Ron
What you call "bent e" is the "Estimated" symbol.
It's a ROUND, not oval "e" with a thin crossbar, straight 
vertical insides and often the open end appears skimpy
or kicked in.

An example of it's use would be a package of Lasagna
noodles. They are not going to file down a noodle to make
the weight of the package exact, and they are not going to
throw in a splinter of a noodle for that either. If you read
"e 1 kg" then that means that at packing time the noodles
weighed approximately 1 Kilogram +/- one noodle.

By the time you get them, they will have dried down 10% 
or more anyway, so that is close enough for Europe.

Because Europeans are used to the Estimated sign, never
use a small e instead of the Euro sign. It would confuse
them to no end. "What does he mean, Estimated 4.95 ?

For the Euro, just write it out if your fonts don't have the
Euro sign.

Have FUN!

A preacher went to his church office on Monday morning and
discovered a dead mule (jackass to the knowing) in the
church yard. He called the police. Since there did not appear
to be any foul play, the police referred the preacher to the
health department.

They said since there was no health threat that he should
call the sanitation department. The sanitation manager said
he could not pick up the mule without authorization from the
mayor.

Now, the preacher knew the mayor, and was not to eager to
call him. The mayor had a bad temper and was generally hard
to deal with, but the preacher called him anyway.

The mayor did not disappoint. He immediately began to rant
and rave at the pastor and finally said, "Why did you call me
anyway? Isn't it your job to bury the dead?"

The preacher paused for a brief prayer and asked the Lord to
direct his response.  He was led to say, "Yes, Mayor, it is
my job to bury the dead, but I always like to notify the next
of kin first!"

Use a Tea Light in Pillar Candles 
If you like to decorate with large pillar candles, but don't 
like it when they get short, just let them burn down to the 
height you like, pour out the extra wax to form a hollow 
inside of the candle. Slip in a tea light and then you can 
just change tea lights each time you want to have 
candlelight.
By QueenBeeCrafts

In case you don't know what a "Tea Light" is, it's those
small candles in aluminum foil cups that you see in some
restaurants to keep food warm, while it is sitting on the 
table or on a serving cart. They cost about a dollar for a 
bag of ten at restaurant suply stores, and about $5 for a
bag with 100 of them in it. 

If you have a choice, get the ones that have a foil covered
cork float for holding the wick up. Those you can replenish
with melted candle drippings and stubs.

If you like the soft glow of a pillar candle with the flame 
deep down in the crater, make sure you drill an air hole
upwards to where the tea light sits. You get a much 
steadier flame, and you avoid melting down the shell.

I have seen fancy and elaborately decorated "Pilgrimage" 
candles that were two, - maybe three, generations old,
and still in fine shape because of an air hole to keep 
them cool.

To reach down and light the wick, use a piece of spaghetti,
not a butane BBQ lighter.
Have FUN!

Wal-Mart announced that they will soon be offering customers
a new discount item.
Wal-Mart's own brand of wine.

The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo
Winery of California, to produce the spirits at an affordable
price, in the $1-3 range.

Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of
Wal-Mart brand into their shopping carts, but "there is a
market for cheap wine",said Kathy Micken, professor of
marketing.

She said: "But the right name is important."
Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most
attractive name for the Wal-Mart brand.

The top surveyed names in order of popularity are:

10. Chateau Traileur Parc
9. White Trashfindel
8. Big Red Gulp
7. World Championship Riesling
6. NASCARbernet
5. Chef Boyardeaux
4. Peanut Noir
3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
2. Grape Expectations

And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine:
1. Nasti Spumante

The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with
either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).

Girl Reports Escaping Kidnapper By Jumping 
From Truck Onto Highway

A California man is facing kidnapping charges after
authorities say a 13-year-old runaway jumped out of his
moving truck and onto a highway, prompting him to call 911.

Timothy Marble, 50, of Napa, reported the girl’s escape about
5:40 a.m. Saturday after he said she fled his vehicle and
refused to come out of some bushes, the Sonoma County
Sheriff’s Office said.

Once deputies arrived at the scene in Bodega Bay, the girl
emerged covered in road rash. She accused Marble of sexually
abusing her, injecting her with meth and scratching his name
into her leg with a knife.

“His name was still visible for the detectives,” the
sheriff’s office said in a release.

The child said she met Marble at a Napa gas station early
Friday morning after running away from home following an
argument with her mother Thursday night.

Marble allegedly offered to give her a ride. After accepting
the lift but refusing his sexual advances, she reported, he
tied her to a tree and sexually assaulted her, the sheriff’s
office said.

Over the next 24 hours, she told officers, he continued the
assaults inside his truck and forced her to take drugs.
Deputies took her to a hospital, where she was reunited with
her mother.

“He has a different side of it, but there’s definitely
probable cause in making the arrest,” Sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer
Crum told the San Francisco Chronicle. “His accounts of the
event differed somewhat. Some corroboration and some
distortion.”

Marble, who authorities said is a convicted felon with a rap
sheet that includes drug charges, was arrested and faces 11
felony counts of sexual acts with a minor, kidnapping and
child abuse. He is being held without bail with no attorney
listed. Authorities said this is his first sexual assault
charge.

Re: How to block mail from an ex

Dear Webby
I can't change my email address because of my business,
but I need to block mail from my ex. His mails are polite
and friendly, not of a harassing type, but I just don't want
any more mail from him. He forges different sender 
addresses, so it's not easy to avoid his mails.
What do you suggest?
Glennis

Dear Glennis
Just get MailWasher, from the side menu. Then look at a few
of his mails and find something that is common to all of
them. With MailWasher you can easily peek at the hidden
header stuff, and even if you don't find anything common in
the message body, you will easily find something that shows
up in all of his letters, but not in legitimate mail. 

Then make a filter that is triggered by that. Making filters
is childishly easy with MailWasher Pro, even fun.
Set the filter to delete his mails automatically, without
showing them, and you won't ever see them again.

With the filters you can have them triggered by many
different items. If any of ten different traps recognizes 
him, his mail gets nuked. 

To fine tune your filter, you can set it so that it just 
flags his mail for deletion. That way, if somebody else
also uses one of the trigger phrases, you can modify
the filter. 

MailWasher conveniently tells you which of your filters has
flagged a piece of mail.

Have FUN!

Crockpot Chicken with Gravy Recipe 

Total Time: About 5 minutes prep
Yield: Serves around 7 or 8
Source: A busy Mom's desperate mind! :)

Ingredients:
1 average sized chicken
1/4 cup mesquite seasoning
2/3 cup water
3 Tbsp Cornstarch

Steps:
Place your chicken in your crockpot.
Rub all over with 1/4 cup mesquite seasoning. You may wish to
try another, lemon pepper would be great too! :) Believe it
or not, you do not need any liquid, it makes it own. It is
very tender and moist when done!

Cook on high for about 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Place your chicken on a serving platter and set in microwave
to keep warm till your gravy is done. *You do NOT need to
turn microwave on, door being shut will do the trick.:)

Using a mesh colander, strain the drippings from the bottom
of the crockpot. You just want to remove the solid bits.
Pour your strained drippings into a saucepan. Add 3
Tablespoons of cornstarch to 2/3 Cup of cold water and shake
well. Add this to your pan.
Cook on high whisking constantly for only 2 or 3 minutes. All
done!!
You will end up with about 2 cups gravy.

* You could probably cook this longer on a low setting if you
must be gone all day.

Man posing as crew member busted at JFK Airport 
with $85K worth of cocaine in suitcase

The traveler may have been inspired by Leonardo DiCaprio in
‘Catch Me if You Can’, but fortunately U.S. Customs and
Border Protection officers at New York’s John F. Kennedy
International Airport have seen this movie before.

CBP officers intercepted passenger Mario Hudson, a citizen
of Jamaica, on March 27, as he was arriving from Kingston,
Jamaica.

Hudson was dressed in what appeared to be a pilot’s uniform
and claimed he was a “dead-heading crew member.” During the
baggage inspection, CBP officers discovered that Hudson had
what appeared to be two fraudulent Delta Airlines ID badges.

During the examination of Hudson’s luggage, CBP officers
noticed that the sides and bottom appeared to be unusually
thick and heavy. Hudson was escorted to a private search
room where his suitcase was probed revealing a white powder
that tested positive for cocaine.

Hudson was arrested for the import of a controlled substance
and was turned over to Homeland Security Investigations. The
total weight of cocaine seized was approximately five pounds
with an estimated street value of $85,000.

Hudson faces federal narcotics smuggling charges and will be
prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the U.S. Eastern
District Court of New York.

Dear Brent
It is a bug in Chrome version 57.
Version 58 beta apparently still has the bug too.

XSS auditor has been around for a decade, and until version
57, Chrome handled it correctly, then they scrwd it up, but
don't know how.

There is no practical method yet to get around the bug.
Theoretically, you could dump all your tabs, close Chrome,
and start it with a command line directive to not use XSS
auditor, but that is quite useless, even if it did work,
since it too dumps your shoping cart.
About all you can do is use FireFox for those sites, where
Chrome messes up. FireFox handles XSS auditor correctly.

Drunk Florida teacher let boy, 14,

A Tampa teacher is facing serious charges after police said
she was drunk and had an unlicensed teen boy driving her
around. 

Terra Virgin was arrested on Sunday and charged with child
abuse and neglect. 

Police said Virgin, 32, was intoxicated and had an open can
of beer while in the passenger seat of a Toyota SUV that was
stopped on suspicion of DUI at Kennedy Boulevard and
Westland Avenue. 

Officers said the 14-year-old son of Virgin's boyfriend was
driving the SUV. The teen does not have a driver's license. 

Police said Virgin told them she had five beers, was too
drunk to drive and was getting the teen to drive her to a
Waffle House.

Virgin is a math teacher at Freedom High School. She has
been a teacher in Hillsborough County since 2013.

The boy was transported and released into his father's
custody.

Virgin bonded out of jail Monday afternoon.

Re: Hot hard drive

Dear Webby
I opened up my computer to vacuum out the dust bunnies
like you had suggested last spring, well better late than
never, and I noticed that the hard drive was giving off a 
lot of heat. It was very hot to the touch.  Is that a sign
that it will die soon?
Ollie

Dear Ollie
That is quite normal. Today's fast hard drives do run quite
warm. If you can touch it and keep your fingers on it for
five seconds, it's at normal operating temperature. You 
could not keep your fingers that long in water that is 60
degrees C (140 F) without yelling. The temperature is
probably between 45 C and 55 C. 

The oil in the bearings is good for 200 degrees C (400 F).
I would not worry about that drive. Keep in mind though, 
sooner or later every hard drive crashes, and then you
will really appreciate it if you have a reasonably recent
back-up.

Have FUN!

Marinade for Making Beef Chuck Blade Tender 
 Even the most "not so tender" cut of meat, such as beef 
chuck blade can cook so tender you would not know it's 
chuck. The secret is to marinate the beef chuck over night. 
Use lee kum kee chicken marinade teriyaki (or similar
brand) along with green, orange, yellow, and red bell
peppers, one medium white onion, lemon herb, and steak
seasoning. 
Cook with medium-low heat on stove for about 30 to 45 min. 
Make sure to marinate in a closed container.

pleadingly.
"I would do anything to pass this exam."
She leans closer to him, flips back her hair,
gazes meaningfully into his eyes.
"I mean..." she whispers, "...I would do... **anything**!!!"

He returns her gaze.  "Anything???"

"Yes,... Anything!!!"

His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you...

Re: n65 infection

Dear Webby
I have enjoyed your letter since I first found you back when
I had more hair and fewer aches!  My new Malwarebytes that I
bought says that it is repeatedly (dozens of times per hour)
blocking a bad website called "n65a******" that the
application c:\windows\sysWOW64\regsvr32.com is trying to
contact, that is, that it is blocking the outbound traffic. 
The application is 20KB.  Is this something that I need to
keep, or is it spyware?

Thank you for your help.

Dear Glenn
I used ****** instead of the name of that evil crap, so that
the humor letter won't get blocked.
That n65 stuff is bad news.

Some program you got has a nefarious "payload" and calls ads
from that n65 site.
I have no idea what program that is, that you are paying for
with ads from there. 
Could be where your cat orders the catnip from.
You can search on Google for how to get rid of that.
Be careful, though. Some of the sites pretendiung to offer
help with that, are decoys for more evil crap.

KIDS PERSPECTIVE ON ADULT BEHAVIOR

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. 
Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like 
sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. 
--Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who 
they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, 
and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. 
--Kirsten, age 10

  WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person
FOREVER by then. 
--Camille,age 10

No age is good to get married at.
You got to be a fool to get married. It just leads to 
fighting and kids.
--Freddie, age 6

  HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, depending on whether they seem 
to be yelling at the same kids. 
--Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids. --Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get
to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you
listen long enough. 
--Lynnette, age 8

On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that
usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.

--Martin, age 10

  WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich. 
--Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to
mess with that. 
--Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you 
should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right 
thing to do. 
--Howard, age 8

  IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. 
Boys need someone to clean up after them. 
--Anita, age 9

  HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE 
DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't
there? 
--Kelvin, age 8

  HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks 
like a garbage can. 
-- Katrina, age 10

Take the garbage out to the curb at night, so that the
morning does not start with a fight.
-- Peter, age 7

I would build a treehouse for the kids, as far away as
possible, for some peace and quiet when I want to
cuddle up with my wife on the couch.
-- Thomas, age 8 

The husband should not start laughing every time the
smoke detector goes off in the kitchen and make the
wife mad for the rest of the day.
-- Barbie

If the daddy brings home some flowers, even if they are
the weird ones from the cemetery, then the mom forgets
what she was going to argue about and they smile and
smooch instead.
-- Holly

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Making a Magnetic Chalk Board 
A homemade chalkboard is cheap/easy to make, and fun for
children and adults of all ages!

Approximate Time: 3 hours + depending on size

Supplies:
sheet metal (in order to also be magnetic)
chalkboard spray paint (available at hardware stores)
chalk
wooden planks cut to size for a frame (available at a
hardware store)
electric drill and screws for the frame
Instructions:
Visit the hardware store for all the supplies that you will
need. The friendly people there will cut everything down to
the size that you want your chalkboard to be. Remember that
the sheet metal is going to be your chalkboard, get it cut
larger if you plan on attaching a frame.
Follow the directions on the back of the chalkboard spray
paint, let it dry before attaching a frame. Remember, it may
need several coats.

There are several ways to attach a frame to the painted
sheet metal, our piece was thin enough that we turned it
over and used an electric drill and screwed short screws
into the wood, this way they do not show in the front. It
looks very professional. A frame is not necessary.
Have fun drawing pictures or jotting out quick notes!
By Grace from Seattle, WA

Peel & Stick whiteboard sheets are from $15 and up,
depending on size. You can peel them off if you move or

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Darnell Washington,
38,
Houston,
Texas

Dad reappears several days after 
leaving 6 year old son in the car.

Darnell Washington pulled up to an adult bookstore, left the
SUV running, and headed inside. Hours passed, and the man
never came back. Meanwhile, his six-year-old son remained in
the car.

According to Click2Houston, six hours went by, and nobody
returned for the boy. Even worse, he had nothing to eat or
drink.

As ABC13 reports, Diamond Hawkins was working at a tattoo
shop when he finally saw the child sitting alone in the
vehicle:

“He was sitting in the truck and I didn't pay much attention
because we have a business next door that sells cars. I
thought his dad was next door buying a car or something.”

Eventually, the owner of the adult bookstore saw the boy
walking around the parking lot and went in search of his
parents. According to the Houston Chronicle, the owner went
inside the tattoo parlor and asked if the child belonged to
anyone, but nobody knew who he was.

At that point, he and Hawkins knew something was wrong.

According to Click2Houston, Hawkins said the young boy
couldn't provide them with any information:

“He didn’t know where his dad was. He didn’t know where he
lived, or his phone number, or anything. We looked for his
dad and couldn’t find him anywhere, so somebody called the
cops.”

Another tattoo shop employee, John Ridley, made sure the boy
was comfortable while they waited for the police to arrive.
They eventually got the frightened child to talk:

"He was really shy at first. He had a little food and we put
him in front of the TV and he got accustomed to us. He
opened up a bit and told us his name.”

When nobody came to pick the six-year-old boy up from the
police, he was placed with Texas Child Protective Services.
As for Washington, he didn't show back up to the parking lot
for several days.

When he finally did return, Hawkins said Washington appeared
to be more concerned about his vehicle than his son:

“He came in and was asking about his car. Wasn't too
concerned about the kid but said, 'Hey did you have a car
towed, where's my car.'”

Washington admitted to police that he was drinking on the
day he left his child. He said he had “four shots of
whiskey” and “four to five shots of tequila.” He explained
that he passed out behind the store in an alley, woke up,
couldn't find his child, and passed out again.

He eventually found out where the child he left behind was
when he called his own father, who let him know the police
had him.

Mardee Paige was at the tattoo parlor with her best friend
celebrating her 70th birthday when the little boy was
rescued from wandering around the parking lot. Paige said:

“That person in my mind shouldn't have a child. Who knows
what would have happened had somebody not brought him over
here.”

Washington was charged with child endangerment. His court
date set for April 11.

The young boy is now staying with friends.
There was no mention  of a mother in any report. She might
be dead or in jail.

Re: Telemarketers

Dear Webby
I have been told not to be rude to telemarketers, just in
case they are potential clients. I know you have a 
dangerously wicked sense of humor and have had some
good tips about that in the past, but unfortunately I did 
not save them. What do you recommend?
Danielle

Dear Danielle
Just tell the telemarketer that they should be talking to
Farley Marblemouth and to hold on. Then, before they 
can reply to that, put them on hold.

Eventually you'll hear the beeping that indicates a dead
line.

An alternative is to tell them that you, or whoever they
want to talk to are too busy to listen to telemarketers and
that they should send an email. They never do.

If Call Indicator shows the name of a state, it is forged by
a telemarketer. I don't even bother listening to their
crap,
I hit On/Off faster than they can get one word out.

Have FUN!

Redneck Manners

Entertaining in Your Home
a. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything 
  prepared by a taxidermist.
b. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table, even if his
manners   are better than those of your mother-in-law.

Dining Out
a. When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper 
  cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the bouquet of 
  the wine.
b. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it 
  with your fingers covering the label. 

Personal Hygiene
a. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job 
  that should be done in private using one's own truck keys.
b. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for 
  several days. If you live alone, however, deodorant is 
  a waste of good money.
c. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, 
 as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter 
  the taste of finger foods. 

Rules of the Road
a. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if 
  the gun is loaded and the deer is in sight.
b. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the 
  largest tires always has the right of way.
c. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
d. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, 
  it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer.
e. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle when you
  are the driver.
f. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral
procession. 

Weddings
a) Ex-mother-in-laws should not be invited to weddings, 
  unless they are the parole officers of the bride or groom.
b) Rifles and handguns are not appropriate wedding gifts.
c) When giving a set of towels, tires, milk-crates or 
  hub-caps as wedding gifts, try to pick the same make
 or color for each piece of the set.
d) If the bride is more than 8 months pregnant, it is better

 to have the wedding after the delivery of the baby, so that
  the bride can fully enjoy and participate in the wedding 
  brawl.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Grease Stains on Suede Shoes 
By Pamela [1 Comment]
I've had luck with removing light grease stains from suede
with rubber cement. The kind of rubber cement used in school
projects (comes in a brown bottle with it's own brush
inside). Of course, test first on a small spot, like the on
inside lining. Just brush on a small amount, let it sit for
a moment to dry, then rub off the rubber cement with a soft
cloth. When stain is gone and suede is dry, use suede brush
to fluff up the suede again. Good luck!
