Hi DearWebby,
Though I agree with you that Jerry should push back at the 
original source, if that’s not an option, both Open Office 
and Microsoft Word can automatically convert whole sentences 
and even whole documents from all upper case to mixed case 
with just a few mouse clicks:

Open Office: Convert All Uppercase

Microsoft Word: Change Capitalization

In both cases what Jerry is after is called “Sentence case”.
Aloha,

Thanks to both of you!
Have FUN!

"I wish to immigrate," was the Kiwi's reply.
The customs officer then asked, "Do you have a conviction
record?"

Confused, the Kiwi then replied,

There was a university in New England where the students
operated a "bank" of term papers and other homework
assignments. There were papers to suit all needs. Since it
would look odd if an undistinguished student suddenly
handed in a brilliant essay, there were papers for an A grade,
B grade, and C grade.

One student, who had spent the weekend on more
"extra-curricular pursuits," went to the bank, and as his
course was a standard one he took out a paper for a
inconspicuous C. He then retyped it and handed
the work in.

In due course he received it back with the professor's
comments.

"I wrote this paper myself twenty years ago. I always
thought it was worth an A, and now I'm pleased to give
it one!"

reach into her nail pouch, pull out a nail and either toss
it over her shoulder or nail it in.

Sally figuring this was worth looking into, asked,
"Why are you throwing those nails away?"

Becky explained, "When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about
half of them have the head on the wrong end and I throw
them away."

Daniel Lee Warn Robs El Pollo Loco Restaurant 
And Returns For Lunch

A man suspected of burglarizing an El Pollo Loco in 
Costa Mesa, California, has been arrested after he returned 
to the restaurant for a meal a few hours after the robbery.

Daniel Lee Warn, 28, was arrested Wednesday when he tried 
to order food at the restaurant, because employees recognized 
him from the security footage of the robbery.

The restaurant was closed at the time of the break-in, but 
the surveillance video showed a man climbing through the 
drive-through window and ransacking the cash register in a 
failed attempt to find money.

When Warn showed up to order lunch, he was wearing the same 
clothes as the person seen in the video: A green T-shirt 
and a hat emblazoned with a bright pink face, the Daily 
Pilot reports.

The restaurant manager called police who arrested Warn 
on multiple counts of burglary, KTLA-TV reports.

Police believe Warn is also responsible for three 
other burglaries in the same area between Tuesday 
and Wednesday.

Warn, a transient, was sentenced to two years in 
prison last month, but was freed as part of a 
post-release community supervision program, 
according to UPI.com

Re: Stuck Hourglass

Dear Webby
I need someone to tell me what I need to do to correct a
computer problem.

When I point mouse arrow at a website, then click,
sometimes it will click onto the little 'hourglass' from the
arrow & won't click back to arrow again.  So, here I sit,
waiting for it to make up it's mind to continue down the
yellow brick road & some times it does but most times
it won't!   The only way I can continue on is to re-boot.
It's becoming a pain in the patoot!  It even does it when I
start typing in the chatroom & after a couple of minutes,
it goes back to normal.  I have noticed it does it more
frequently whenever there is something else going on
behind the scenes - like various updates, etc.  Is there
some thing or some place I can click to try to correct this?
Help!  Help! Help!

Dear Jessica
From what I hear, that is quite common with AOL dial-up 
accounts. It is simply a matter of lack of connection 
speed. 

Sometimes you can gain a bit more speed by using the 
Task Manager (CTRL SHIFT ESC), Processes, to kill your
browser and then restarting it, but for the long run,
the only solution is to get a faster connection to 
the Internet.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Onion Snow from Frozen Onions
When I cook, I love onion but not in large pieces or strips. 
None of the kids I know like them that way either. When the 
Vidalias (my favorite onion) are in season, I buy several. 
I peel, clean and wash them with a quick douse under 
HOT water. Then put them into plastic and freeze them 
whole. The hot water preserves the crunchiness when 
freezing. Ditto with lettuce to go in the fridge, 
it's an old trick my mom taught me.

When I cook, I take one of my whole frozen onions out and 
get out my fine size grater. I hold the onion as long as 
I can and grate a pile of onion snow. It IS cold, so you 
may need to take breaks or use a silicone glove. 

Be sure to use a fine grater. I took the finished product 
here and made onion cakes. I added 1/4 cup flour, 
1 Tbsp. cornmeal, 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 3 Tbsp. 
coconut milk and an egg. Mix all, let set 10 minutes, 
then fry like pancakes.

I hope you get a chance to try this and find it helpful. 
The onion snow flavors the meal and no one complains about 
it. ("YUK! Onions!") The food goes down with relish and 
no complaints.

An old blacksmith realized he was soon going to quit
working so hard.  He picked out a strong young man to
become his apprentice.

 The old fellow was crabby and exacting. "Don't ask me a
lot of questions," he told the boy. "Just do whatever I tell
you to do."

 One day the old blacksmith took an iron out of the forge
and laid it on  the anvil. "Get the hammer over there," he
said. "When I nod my head, hit it real good and hard."

Now the town is looking for a new blacksmith.

I was inspecting communications facilities in Alaska. Since
I had little experience in flying in small planes, I was
nervous when we approached a landing strip in a snow
covered area.  The pilot descended to just a dozen feet,
then gunned both engines, climbed, and circled back.
While my heart pounded, the passenger beside me
seemed calm.

"I wonder why he didn't land," I said.

"He was checking to see if the landing strip was plowed,"
the man said.

As we made a second approach, I glanced out the window.
"It looks plowed to me," I commented.

"No," my seat mate said.  "It hasn't been cleared 
for some time."

"How can you tell?"  I asked.

"Because," the man informed me, "I'm the guy who drives
the plow, and I have been in Hawaii for two weeks."

Misty Ann Lee, 38, Spartanburg, SC

Woman who tried to shoplift vibrator by hiding 
device behind her child in stroller 

A woman who allegedly tried to steal a vibrator from the 
“love section” of a Spencer’s gift shop in South Carolina 
was foiled when a store employee spotted her stashing 
the device behind her child, who was seated in a stroller, 
police report.

Misty Ann Lee, 38, was nabbed Friday afternoon inside the 
WestGate Mall in Spartanburg, according to a police 
report. She was cited for shoplifting and booked into the 
county jail (from which she was released late Friday 
evening).

A Spencer’s manager told cops that she saw Lee “select 
a vibrator from the love unit” and then move to the 
“t-shirt cube,” where she allegedly slid the item 
“behind a young child in the stroller.” Lee then 
departed the store, worker Dawn Hamilton told 
investigators.

After Lee departed the business, she was stopped by 
Hamilton, who demanded the vibrator. “Ms. Hamilton stated 
Ms. Lee looked like she didn't know what she was talking 
about but eventually she retrieved the merchandise from 
the stroller,” according to a Spartanburg Police Department 
report. With vibrator in hand, Hamilton appeared content 
to let Lee skate. But when Lee subsequently sought to 
reenter Spencer’s, Hamilton decided to notify police.

Lee, seen in the above mug shot, is free on a $2000 
personal recognizance bond. The police report does not 
include the make, model, or retail price of the vibrator.

and I spent another $500 for food and drinks for the people

Dope dealer, who fled into a Police Academy

 A man who fled from a traffic stop on U.S. 90 unknowingly 
ran into a building where police academy training was 
in session.

Roger Wayne Beasley Jr., 30, apparently was so focused on 
getting away that he didn't notice marked cars parked 
outside the Harrison County Law Enforcement Training Academy 
building on Leggett Drive, Police Chief John Miller said.

An officer had recognized Beasley driving a vehicle Wednesday 
and knew he didn't have a license, Miller said.
Beasley turned on to Chalmers Drive, jumped out of his 
vehicle and ran off, so an officer jumped out of his car and 
ran after him.

"He got to the door and was about to go through," Miller said.
He was outnumbered.

Police arrested Beasley on charges of possession with intent 
to distribute crack cocaine, resisting arrest, no driver's 
license, careless driving, improper lane change, 
resisting arrest and failure to comply.

Beasley was released from the Harrison County jail on bonds 
that total $51,670.

Later, on his way home, he stopped at a pedestrian

A girl standing next to him eyed the large bulge in his

"Tennis ball," came the breathless reply.

"Oh," said the girl sympathetically, "that must be painful,

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Danielle Saxton, 27, West Frankfort, Illinois

Illinois Bimbo, who posted a selfie 
of her wearing a shoplifted dress on FB

Police investigating the theft of clothing and jewelry from 
a southern Illinois boutique say they arrested a woman after 
she posted Facebook photos of herself wearing one of the 
stolen items.

WSIL-TV reports that police arrested 27-year-old Danielle 
Saxton, of West Frankfort, earlier this month on misdemeanor 
retail theft charges. She's free on her own recognizance.

Authorities say a distinctive leopard-print dress was among 
the items stolen July 11 from Mortie's Boutique in West 
Frankfort.

The store's co-owner, Kert Williams, says he posted about 
the stolen items on Facebook and that people who saw 
Williams' posting and those of Saxton made the connection 
and helped police.

Re: Auto responder

Dear Webby
While looking for a certain picture that you had one
day, I came across your diatribe against autroresponders.
At first I was miffed at your reply, that sounded like you
had preached the same thing too many times. Pardon me for
not having been subscribed as long as others.
Then I phoned my daughter, hoping she had a different
explanation.

Well, golly, she didn't. And she had me blacklisted! Not on
purpose, but as you said, anything that smells like an auto-
responder gets dumped and the sender blacklisted.
Now I dumped my autoresponder, and the stupid book that
recommended it.
Thanks
Alice

Dear Alice
Good for you!

Autoresponders are only justified when they deliver requested
information, like for example a price list, or weather update,
or event schedule, or even race results when somebody
sends a blank email to a certain address. Other than that,
it's best to avoid them like the plague.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Fruit Fly Trap
I absolutely hate fruit flies! This trap is very easy to
make and works really well. I always have this trap 
set up on the counter, so an infestation never has a 
chance to take hold. :)

Approximate Time: 5 minutes

Supplies:

red wine vinegar
Dawn dish soap
plastic wrap
rubber band
toothpick
clear jar

Steps:

Put 3-4 drops of Dawn soap into the bottom of the jar.
Pour 6 Tbsp. of red wine vinegar into the jar (or enough 
to fill it about 1/4 in.).
Gently swirl the jar around to combine the ingredients.
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the jar and pull it 
tight across the top. Secure it with a rubber band. 
Trim off any excess plastic.
Using a toothpick, poke holes into the plastic so the 
flies can get in.
Place your trap near any fruit you have out on the 
counter. Goodbye fruit flies!
NOTE: I change out my mixture about every 2 weeks, 
more often if I am catching a lot of fruit flies.

an activity requiring the husband to wear a bag of sand - to
give him an idea of what it feels like to be pregnant.

The husband stood up and shrugged saying, "This doesn't

The instructor then dropped a pen and asked the husband to
pick it up.

"You want me to pick up the pen as if I were pregnant, the
way my wife would do it?" the husband asked.

"Exactly," replied the instructor.

To the delight of the other husbands, he turned to his wife
and said,
"Honey, pick up that pen for me."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Danielle Watkins, 32, Norwalk, CT

Female teacher accused of using 
grade threat for sex

A Stamford High School English teacher is accused of 
threatening to fail a student if he broke off their 
sexual relationship.

Danielle Watkins of Norwalk turned herself in to police 
Thursday. She is charged with sexual assault, sale of 
marijuana and risk of injury to a minor.

Police say the 18-year-old student came to them in June 
and described how the 32-year-old teacher had provided him 
with drugs and sex since last September. Police say she also 
gave marijuana to a 15-year-old.

The Stamford Advocate reported that the victim allegedly 
told police he had encounters in her car and during school 
hours. A forensic examination of her phone reportedly 
revealed 2,000 text messages and naked pictures of herself 
sent to the student. 

Police say they recovered 2,000 text messages, including 
nude photos sent to the teen's phone.

Watkins posted $100,000 bond and is due in state Superior 
Court in Stamford on July 31.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Using Coffee Grounds to Remove Odors
Here's a great way to use coffee grounds once you have made 
coffee. Dump your used coffee grounds into a container and 
keep, open, in the refrigerator. The used grounds make your 
fridge smell like coffee and absorbs all the unwanted odors 
at the same time. 

When the container gets full, dump them around your azaleas. 
They have just what it takes to perk them up and get them 
going again, make a nice, rich looking mulch, and hold some 
moisture for the plants as well. The best fact of all is 
that they repel mosquitoes at the same time and are 
biodegradable while enriching your soil. So, go have a nice, 
hot cuppa coffee and start going green!

Source: A friend told me about this. I tried it, and it 
does all the things listed above!

A Protestant moved into a completely Catholic community.
Being good Catholics they welcomed him into their community.
But, also because they were good Catholics they did not eat
red meat on Fridays. So when their neighbor began barbecuing
some juicy steak on Friday night, they began to squirm.

They were so annoyed that they went to talk to him about it.
After much talk they convinced him to become Catholic.
The next Sunday he went to the priest and the priest sprinkled
holy water on him and said,

"You were born Protestant. You were raised Protestant.
But now you are Catholic."

And so, the next Friday, as the neighbors sat down to eat their
fish, they were disturbed by the smell of roast beef coming from
the neighboring house. They went over to talk to the new Catholic
because he knew he was not supposed to eat beef on Fridays.
When they saw him, he was sprinkling ketchup on the beef
saying,
"You were born a cow. You were raised a cow.
But now you are a fish."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Raymond Frolander, 18, Daytona Beach, Florida

Dad's 911 call: I've beaten up 
my son's assailant 

A father in Daytona Beach, Florida, called 911 early Friday 
morning to report that when he found someone sexually 
abusing his 11-year-old son, he beat the assailant 
until he was "nice and knocked out" for police to 
apprehend.

So far, the father is not facing any charges.
CNN affiliate CFN 13 asked Daytona Beach Police Chief 
Michael Chitwood whether he had any issue with the 
father's reaction Friday.
Chitwood responded, "Not as a police chief and not 
as a father."

The father's identity and that of his son were not 
released to protect the identity of the minor as an 
alleged sexual abuse victim.

The father, who sounds collected but enraged during the 
911 call, told Volusia County emergency dispatch that 
18-year-old Raymond Frolander was close to the family 
and was in the apartment while the father was out.

The father says that when he got home, the look on 
Frolander's face made him think something was wrong. 
The father says Frolander's pants fell down to his ankles 
"and nothing else needed to be said" when he saw 
exposed genitals.

According to the charging affivadit, the 11-year-old 
victim told authorities that Frolander had performed 
oral sex on him and instructed the boy to fondle him. 
The document says the boy told authorities that Frolander 
began abusing him a few years ago. It also says Frolander 
told police, "I'm guilty."

When the 911 dispatcher asked the father whether he used 
weapons to knock out Frolander, the father told the 
dispatcher, "my fist and my foot."

The father explained that Frolander was breathing, but not 
speaking, "in a puddle of blood" on the floor "and I loved 
him up until 15 minutes ago."

At times, the dad is heard talking to the suspect, at one 
point saying, "You are damn lucky, boy, that I love my God."

When Daytona Beach police officers arrived, according to 
the charging affidavit, they saw Frolander "laying motionless 
on the living room floor with several knots on his face and 
bleeding from his mouth." He was treated and released from 
a hospital before he was questioned.

Frolander faces a charge of sexual battery of a child and 
was in the Volusia County Jail late Friday. He had no bond.

Chitwood said that the 18-year-old was like a family member 
to the boy, "and the father acted as a father should act."
Chitwood told CFN 13 that it's not unusual for young 
victims to be afraid to report sexual abuse because they 
feel threatened or fear that they will get in trouble.

My computer is for fun and a bit of research and after 5 years
I've decided it's time to get off dial up. My problem: 6 months
in Michigan, 6 months in Arizona. I've looked and looked at
high speed providers and can't find one that will work between
the two areas and also while I'm on the road. My present provider,
Corecomm, works in all three areas but wow, it's getting slower
and slower.

You have to realize this "olde" gal is slowly coming into the next

small town living doesn't offer much help Can you offer any advice??

Having a lot of fun,

Dear Patti
Call Corecom 1-877-267-3266 Customer Service
or Tech support 1-800-715-7873 and complain about the 
lack of speed. Most ISPs gradually reduce your 
connection and give your bandwidth to those, who complain. 

You have to wait until Monday. 
They have nobody there on the weekend. 

You can, at the same time inquire how much their DSL would be.

While on the road, you'll just have to go to hotels and motels
that have high speed. As a rule of thumb, 3-star have wired 
Internet or free local dial-out, 
4 star and up have wireless high speed Internet.

Most McDonalds have wireless Internet, and once you have 
the password and the connection, you can usually take a
not quite closed laptop out into the parking lot. 

Regarding the migration, you can also call Earthlink and ask 
them if they still have a Snowbird Special.

Get the phone numbers for both locations ready before you call.
They do have a fairly straightforward method for relocating, but best
is if you talk to them.

"toothpaste tube" style refillable plastic tubes.
Like mayonaise, salad dressing has a really low
PH to kill bacteria on contact. You can fill a 
few tubes with your different dressings and not worry
about the dressing going bad. Just mark each tube
with a different color Mark-All. The type of plastic
used for those tubes sheds the paint with use, but
the screw-on caps take regular paint.

The tubes are opened at the bottom for refilling and
closed with a sliding clamp.
They work fine for jam too, or mustard or relish or
anything wet or gooey, and are a lot easier for 
dispensing precise amounts than anything else.

It was very crowded at the supermarket, and the customer in

lifted the final bag for her, its bottom gave way, sending

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Michael Harp, 29, Corbin, Kentucky

Pizza Prank Pulled From Kentucky Jail Cell

JULY 17--Already in police custody, a Kentucky man decided 
it was the perfect time to prank the police officer who 
had arrested him for shoplifting and public intoxication, 
investigators allege.
Michael Harp, 29, was collared Tuesday afternoon and locked 
up at the police station in Corbin, a city in the state’s 
southeastern corner. While behind bars, Harp asked for 
permission to use his cell phone, a request that was 
granted.

Shortly after Harp made a call, a Domino’s delivery worker 
arrived at the precinct with five pepperoni pizzas that 
had been purportedly ordered by Captain Coy Wilson, the 
cop who had earlier arrested Harp.

Since Wilson was on the phone when the order arrived, 
patrolman Jeff Hill--unaware that a prank had been played--
went ahead and paid $40 for the pizzas, according to a 
criminal citation.

Not amused by the pizza prank, officers launched an 
investigation and quickly linked the pizza order to 
Harp’s phone. A Domino’s worker told cops that, after 
receiving the order, they placed a confirmation call 
to the number. Police allege that Harp “answered as 
Captain Wilson” when he spoke to the Domino’s employee.

The Kentuckian, who had originally faced only 
misdemeanor counts, was hit with three additional charges, 
including felony identity theft and impersonating a police 
officer counts. Harp, who denies the pizza prank, has 
bonded out of the Whitley County Detention Center.

The police citation does not reveal if the five pepperoni 
pizzas were booked into evidence or subsequently 
disposed of by officers on duty.

Re: Forged address

Dear Webby
I get all kinds of mail that has my address
forged into the sender address. Since I DO send mail
to myself as a fast way to record and file notes, I can't
block my own address and spam gets through the same
way. How do I filter forged addresses?
Alex

Dear Alex
You will notice that spammers usually use some name other
than yours, just your address. Put your name into the sender 
name field. All email programs have a way of doing that, 
even OE. Then make a filter that IF
the Sender address contains alex234@domain.com
AND
the sender address does NOT contain "Alex P"
then dump the mail automatically, don't even list it.

If your address has been assigned and contains your entire
first and last name, then make the sender name slightly
different, for example by adding a middle initial. If the 
incoming mail does not have that initial, it gets dumped.

To make filters, that use Boolean logic like IF, BUT NOT, 
you need MailWasher.

A couple had two little boys ages 8 and 10, who were
excessively mischievous. They were always getting into
trouble and their parents knew that if any mischief
occurred in their town, their sons were probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been
successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would
speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed but asked to see
them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first,
in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in
the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the
younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"

They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response,
sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the
clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone,
"Where is God!!?"
Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman
raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's
face and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD!?"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home
and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his
older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG
trouble this time, dude. God is missing - and they think WE did
it!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Michael Doster, 49

A Florida husband who battered 
wife on Jet Ski 

JULY 15--While out jet skiing Sunday afternoon, a married 
couple got into an argument that turned violent because 
the woman saw her husband and another male “involved in 
a sex act together,” according to investigators.

The confrontation between Michael Doster, 49, and his 
spouse of two years resulted in Doster’s arrest for 
domestic battery. He was released from a Florida jail 
today after posting $5000 bond on the felony count.

As detailed in a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office report, 
Doster and his wife Pamela were on a Sea-Doo jet ski 
near the Passage Key sandbar at the mouth of Tampa Bay 
when they began quarreling. Pamela, a deputy noted, 
brought up the fact that she “saw the defendant and 
another unknown male involved in a sex act together.”

While not specifying when or where this alleged sex 
act occurred, the cop noted that Pamela reported it 
involved “giving each other a blow job.”

Doster, who was driving the Sea-Doo, allegedly yanked 
his wife off the jet ski several times, according to 
the report. “During the last time she was pulled off 
she hit her head against the side of the jet ski” 
and refused to get back on the watercraft. Instead, 
she repaired to the sandbar “and refused to answer 
his call outs.”

When Doster could not locate his wife, he called 911. 
Pamela, naked except for a life jacket, was subsequently 
found on the sandbar and transported to safety by 
rescue workers. A deputy noted that she had a “bruise/bump” 
on her head, a bruise on her biceps, and a “large swollen 
area to her left hip area.” She was transported to a local 
hospital for treatment.

Both Doster and his wife were intoxicated, a deputy 
reported.

She then reached into Thompson's pocket and got out $20.
She kept $19 for her administrative fees and gave the

Letter from camp
Dear Mom,

Our Scoutmaster told us all to write to our parents in case you
saw the flood on TV and worried.  We are OK.  Only one of our
tents and two sleeping bags got washed away.  Luckily, none of us
got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for
Chad when it happened.

Oh yes, please call Chad's mother and tell her that he's OK.  He
can't write because of the cast. I got to ride on one of the
search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found
him in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning.

Scoutmaster Webb got mad at Chad for going on a hike alone
without telling anyone.  Chad said he did tell him, but it was
during the fire so he probably didn't hear him.

Did you know that if you put a gas can on a fire, the gas can
will blow up?  Billy is going to look weird until his hair grows
back.

We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Webb gets the car
fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck.  The brakes worked OK
when we left. Scoutmaster Webb said that with a car that old you
to have to expect something to break down; that's probably why he
can't get insurance on it. We think it's a neat car.  He doesn't
care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us
ride in the tailgate. It gets pretty hot with ten people in a
car.

Scoutmaster Webb is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver.
  In fact, he is teaching Terry how to drive. But he only lets him
drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All we
ever see up there are logging trucks.

Guess what?  We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When
Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a
tourniquet works.

Also, Wade and I threw up.  Scoutmaster Webb said it probably was
just food poisoning from  the leftover chicken. He said they got
sick that way with the food they ate in prison.

I'm so glad he got out and became our scoutmaster. He said he
sure figured out how to get things done better while he was doing
his time.

I have to go now. We are going into town to mail our letters and
buy more bullets and dynamite.

Don't worry about anything.  We are fine.

Love,
Johnny

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Michael Porter, 27, and, his wife, Blair Porter
 of Brandon, Mississippi

Married Teachers Accused Of Sexually 
Abusing 15-year-old Girl

Two high school softball coaches who are married to each 
other are accused of having illegal sexual contact with 
a 15-year-old student on at least two occasions -- 
including once on school grounds.

Michael Porter, 27, and, his wife, Blair Porter, of 
Brandon, Mississippi, were arrested Friday and each 
charged with one count of sexual battery.

The alleged victim played on the Ridgeland High School 
softball team, which was coached by Michael Porter. 
His wife was an assistant coach who also taught at 
Old Towne Middle School.

The case came to light when the student's mother reported 
her daughter was being contacted by the couple after school 
hours. The mother believed that it "went well beyond that 
of a teacher student relationship," Mississippi News Now 
reports.

After obtaining a search warrant, police said they found 
a large number of texts between the Porters and the 
student that included sexually explicit language and 
naked pictures.

The teen allegedly told investigators she had two sexual 
encounters with the Porters, one at their home and one 
inside a press box at Ridgefield High School, 
WAPT TV reports.
The indictment says the suspects engaged in oral sex with 
the minor, according to WJTV TV.

The girl's mother told investigators she believes the 
inappropriate behavior may have begun when her daughter 
was a student at Old Towne Middle School, where Blair 
Porter was a teacher. Language in the indictment suggests 
Blair Porter may have arranged the sexual encounters, 
WDAM TV reports.

Bond was set at $25,000 for Michael Porter and $5,000 for 
Blair Porter, court officials said. Both were released 
after posting bail, according to WAPT TV.

Trial is set for February. If convicted, they each face 
up to 30 years in prison.

Both suspects have been terminated from their jobs, 
according to the New York Daily News.

Easier Cleaning of S'mores Skewers
If you invested in the metal skewers for your s'mores, or 
just for roasting marshmallows, here's an idea for you:

After you've finished roasting the marshmallows for the 
evening (or afternoon, or whenever), put the skewers points 
down into a bucket or pitcher filled with 6 inches or so of 
water and a squirt of dishwashing soap. Let the skewers soak 
overnight, then scrub them in the morning with a scrubby pad, 
rinse, and put them away for the next time.

Source: Utter frustration after having to clean 60+ skewers 
before use and then afterwards. They had been put away 
grungy the year before, and I was determined to NOT do 
that again!

Father Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was
an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day,
decided he just had to play golf. So... he told the Associate
Pastor that he was feeling sick and persuaded him to say
Mass for him that day.

As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton
headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away.
This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he
knew from his parish. Setting up on the first tee, he was
alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else
was in church!

At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord
while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed,
"You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?"

The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not."

Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight
towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and
fell into the hole. It WAS A 420 YARD HOLE IN ONE!

St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked,
"Why did you let him do that?"

The Lord smiled and replied, "Who's he going to brag to?"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Jenifer Elise Thyssen, 40, and Dane Andrew Thyssen, 39
DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas

Texas couple kept son locked away for years

A man arrested for burglary in a Central Texas town told 
police he had been held captive for at least four years 
by his adoptive parents in a garage apartment locked on 
the outside, authorities said.

Jenifer Elise Thyssen, 40, and Dane Andrew Thyssen, 39, 
were being held Friday at the Hays County jail. They were 
arrested Wednesday on kidnapping charges.

Hays County sheriff's deputies say the couple told them 
they confined 22-year-old Koystya Thyssen in an apartment 
at their home in Dripping Springs "for the safety" of 
their other children, according to the arrest affidavit.

Court documents don't indicate how many children were in 
the couple's care.

Authorities began to investigate the case after Koystya 
Thyssen was arrested for burglarizing a neighbor's home 
after using a screwdriver to escape the apartment.

Sheriff's deputies said the apartment had a toilet, sink 
and microwave, and that Koystya Thyssen told them his 
adoptive parents gave him a box of dry and frozen foods 
once a week. He said he was allowed to leave once a week 
to see a counselor, but was otherwise confined to the 
apartment.

"Koystya stated he believes it's wrong how he is treated 
but doesn't say anything," the affidavit says. "Koystya 
advised he had no friends nor any family in the United 
States." The affidavit does not indicate where he is 
originally from.

Dripping Springs, a town of around 1,900 residents, is 
about 20 miles west of Austin.
Jenifer and Dane Thyssen each were being held on $350,000 bond.
Koystya Thyssen was being held at the county jail Friday 
on a burglary of a habitation charge. His bond was set at 
$10,000. No attorney was listed for him.

Removing Odors From the Microwave
Lots of food smells linger in the microwave for a long 
time. To combat those odors and leave your microwave 
smelling fresh, use lemon essential oil. Just put a cup 
of water into a microwave-safe glass container and add 
4 drops of lemon oil. Microwave the bowl on high for 
2 minutes; keep the microwave door closed until the water 
is cooled a little, about 10 minutes.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Bobby Leonard, 59, Naylor, Missouri.

Missouri man shot wife because he was 'tired of her'.

When Bobby Leonard was questioned about shooting his wife, 
Carolyn, in the shoulder on Saturday, he didn't mince words.
Leonard, 59, allegedly confessed to the crime and said he 
did it because he was "tired of her," according to the 
Southeast Missourian newspaper.

The shooting occurred Saturday morning after the couple 
started arguing in their trailer home in Naylor, Missouri.

Ripley County Cpl. Earl Wheetley responded a call about 
a "female being shot by her husband" and found Carolyn 
Leonard "laying on the front porch covered in blood," 
according to his probable-cause affidavit.

The victim told officers that her husband shot her. When 
Leonard exited the trailer, he was arrested, according 
to the Associated Press.

After Wheetley handcuffed Leonard, the officer asked the 
suspect if he had any weapons him. He said Leonard replied, 
"No, the gun is in the house on the counter."

Wheetley said after Leonard was read his Miranda rights, 
the suspect asked if his wife had died. When Wheetley asked 
what happened, Leonard allegedly told him, "I got tired 
of her, and shot her."

Ripley County Sheriff Ron Barnett said the victim was flown 
to a Memphis, Tennessee hospital for treatment and is 
reportedly in stable condition.

Leonard was charged with first-degree domestic assault and 
armed criminal action or first-degree domestic assault. He 
was being held at the Doniphan City Jail in lieu of $150,000 
cash bond, according to RawStory.com.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Tiffany Leiseth, 26, New Brighton, Pennsylvania 

Pennsylvania teacher for having sex with two 
gossipy students too close to end of school year

A Pennsylvania teacher has been charged with felony 
institutional sexual assault following allegations that she 
had sex with two 18-year-old students at her home.

Tiffany Leiseth, 26, worked as a substitute English teacher 
in the New Brighton School District, northwest of Pittsburgh. 
The victims in the case were both taught by Leiseth, although 
the alleged sex acts occurred after classes had 
ended for the year.

Police launched an investigation in late May after they 
received tips that the teacher had sent nude photos to each 
of the young men.

“[Investigators] followed up on that rumor and they found 
those students, and they found the nude photographs, and 
they identified the teacher,” Moon Township Police Chief 
Leo McCarthy told CBS Pittsburgh.

In interviews with police, each victim described how he 
had been invited to Leiseth's house, was offered beer, 
and then engaged in sexual activity with the teacher. 
The first student came over on the last day of school, 
in the hours following the end of classes. The second 
student said he visited Leiseth's home the next day, 
according to police.

She reportedly told the students not to tell anyone, 
according to WPXI.

Leiseth lost her job in the wake of the allegations, but 
her attorney argued that since classes were over when the 
alleged acts occurred, she wasn't their teacher anymore.

“I'm not going to get in a war at this point with the 
alleged victims’ families,” Michael DeRiso, Leiseth’s attorney, 
told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “The reality is you had 
three consenting adults once school let out.”

McCarthy disagrees.
“Regardless of your age, whether you’re an adult or not, 
if you’re a high school student, a teacher cannot have 
sexual relations with you,” McCarthy told WPXI.

However, because the young men were 18 years old, police 
could not charge Leiseth with a crime for sending them nude 
photos, CBS Pittsburgh reports.

Leiseth's preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 22.

However, if you have a black screen and can't see what is

Most likely they will start it up with Linux from a

throw away good food on a bunch of pigeons
that can find food anywhere... when there are a

Then my mother said in crazed anger and without hesitation,

her insurance agent to file a claim...
Matilda Jane told the insurance company, "We had that barn
insured for fifty thousand and I want my money, right quick!"

The agent replied, "Just a minute, there, Matilda Jane.
Insurance doesn't work quite like that. We will ascertain the
value of what was insured and provide you with a new one of
comparable worth."

There was a long pause before Matilda Jane replied, "Then I'd
like to cancel the policy on my husband... Right NOW!"

Michele Cernak, 51, Ocala, Floriduh

Florida woman busted for doing dopey, 
naked yoga in the middle of the road

JULY 10--A nearly naked woman who was doing yoga exercises 
in the middle of a Florida roadway was arrested yesterday 
afternoon by cops who found heroin and drug paraphernalia 
in her running pickup truck.

Michele Cernak, 51, was collared on a variety of drug counts 
after police responded to a 911 call about an intoxicated 
woman stripping off her clothes on an Ocala street.

When officers confronted the Ocala resident, her pants were 
at her ankles. Witnesses told officers that Cernak had been 
doing yoga poses.

Cernak was exercising about ten feet from her truck, which 
had its driver’s door open. A search of the vehicle turned 
up heroin and drug paraphernalia, according to an Ocala 
Police Department report. During questioning, Cernak, who 
had a bleeding wound on her left ankle, reportedly admitted 
that she had been shooting heroin.

Charged with three felonies and two misdemeanors, Cernak is 
locked up in the Marion County jail in lieu of $5000 bond.

Re: How to open a PayPal account

Dear Webby,
how do you set up a paypal account? I have wanted to know
but kept forgetting to ask you. I look forward to your
humor letter every day. my hubby & I have learned lots of
things from you.
THANKS
Carol

Dear Dear Carol
Just go to http://paypal.com
and click on the "Sign Up" link in the top right corner.

It will ask you the usual stuff, but not as much as when
you sign up for a bank account downtown. Just fill that
out, and you'll get your account.

You can run it like a debit card account, so that you can
only use whatever money you got in it, or you can back
it up with a debit or credit card, so that it can fall back 
onto that, if you are a bit short on a purchase or for 
example are buying more Skype Out minutes in the middle 
of a long phone call.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Use Vinegar for Rust and Wood Treatment
Vinegar is really great stuff with many cool uses. 
Here are the the 2 best ones I know of.
1) Remove rust from metal. Just let the metal (pliers, 
blade etc.) soak overnight in the vinegar. Rub off with 
old cloth, rinse with water and dry or place in sun. 
Bye-bye rust.

2)Paint the undiluted vinegar on wood to keep nasty 
woodborers and other insects away. It's better if you 
can submerge the wood for an hour but not necessary. 
Considering the prices nowadays of rust remover and wood 
treatment, this tip can save you many, many $$!

A visitor from Holland was chatting with his American friend

"Our flag symbolizes our taxes," he said.

"That's the same with us," the American said, "only we see

for silence.

"Bring me my biggest sword," said Solomon, " and I shall
hew the young man in half. Each of you shall receive a
half."

the other woman said, 

"Oh Sire, do not spill innocent

Jennifer Crosby, 42, Indian River County, Floriduh

Hiding Crack Cocaine In Her Vagina

A Florida woman accused of hiding crack cocaine in her 
vagina had her plans foiled by the foil allegedly used 
to wrap the drugs.

Jennifer Renee Crosby, 42, was arrested June 24 in Indian 
River County after authorities pulled over her companion, 
Robert William King, because it appeared that their green 
Chrysler had a window tint violation.

Things escalated quickly.
When investigators asked King, 47, for his license, 
registration and proof of insurance, King allegedly replied, 
"I don’t have a license! I’m habitual!” according to 
TCPalm.com.

Officers noticed Crosby was nervously shaking and asked her 
if she was carrying drugs.

At first she said no, but when the investigator called for 
a female deputy to come to the scene, she allegedly said, 
"I have drugs up my vagina," according to an arrest report 
obtained by The Smoking Gun.

Crosby was given a latex glove to wear while she removed the 
alleged crack cocaine. During her retrieval efforts, she 
told police, "Ouch! The foil is hurting the inside of my 
vagina," UPI.com reports.

A field test of the substance confirmed that it was crack 
cocaine. The narcotic and $3,743 in cash were booked as 
evidence.

Crosby was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine 
and drug paraphernalia and King was arrested on a habitual 
traffic offender charge.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Using Any Vacuum Cleaner Bag
A pack of 3 vacuum cleaner bags costs $10.00 & tax. 
That's over $3.50 for one bag! I never buy the original 
bags anymore. Instead, I buy any bags that are roughly 
the same size at yard sales and Thrift Stores. Salvation 
Army has baskets full of those bags in all sizes, for 
25 cents a bag!

Before I discard a full bag, I remove the cardboard piece 
that fits my model of vacuum. I remove the cardboard piece 
of the Thrift store bags, heat up my glue gun, and glue 
the original piece from the used bag in place. I have 
reused the same pieces about 30 times each. This is saving 
me more than $150 a year! 

If the bags were not exactly the same size as the originals, 
it has not made any difference. The important piece is the 
cardboard fitting. This is way more hygienic than opening 
a full bag, cleaning it out and resealing it, as some people 
do. 

Just remove that cardboard piece shortly before you throw 
the full bag in the dumpster. No mess, no dust.
It takes only seconds to make, after the glue gun is heated up.

Source: I came up with that myself, tried it out and it worked 
perfectly. Doing this since 8 years now.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Michael Penn, 25, Newcastle, Delaware

Dad Hid Heroin In His Baby's Diaper

A Delaware man wanted on a theft charge stashed 16 packets 
of heroin down his eight-month-old baby boy’s diaper when 
police spotted him walking yesterday on a New Castle street, 
investigators allege.

According to cops, Michael Penn recently swiped items from 
a Verizon store, prompting the issuance of an arrest warrant 
for shoplifting.

Police officers approached the 25-year-old Penn while he 
was walking Tuesday with his three children. Seen in the 
adjacent mug shot, Penn was carrying the baby and his 
five-year-old daughter.

Directed by officers to put the children down, Penn 
initially refused, cops reported. At one point, Penn 
was seen placing something in the baby’s diaper, 
according to the New Castle City Police Department.

Penn was eventually detained and a search of the child’s 
diaper turned up the heroin stash, which can be seen in 
a police evidence photo. The heroin packets were stamped 
with brand names like “Bioshock” and “Death.”

In addition to the shoplifting count, Penn was booked 
into jail yesterday on narcotics, resisting arrest, 
and child endangerment charges. He was later released 
on $4500 bond. Penn’s children were turned over to 
the custody of his grandmother, and cops reported the 
incident to child welfare officials.

Re: Can temp files be deleted?

Dear Webby,
My machine has an awful lot of temp files. 
Can they be deleted safely? What is the best way to do that?
John

Dear John
Yes, sure you can get rid of them. Your browser will be a bit
slower for a while, because it now has to download all the 
stuff again, that it had cached. Especially on slow dial-up, 
deleting temp files will NOT speed up your machine.

Most programs are well behaved and clean up when they close.
Internet Explorer does not clean up

The easiest way to dump temp files is with Crap Cleaner.
It will also dump the recycle bin, and if you don't take 
the checkmark off the cookies, it will dump those too.
Crap Cleaner is free. Just go to my Tool Box and download 
it.

Emergency Sink Stopper
The house I am at doesn't have the disposal stopper. I like to do dishes with a full sink of water so this posed a problem. Then, I realized that a tall glass works wonders.

Someone posted here once that certain jar lids worked so this is just another clever solution to those pesky problems that plague our lives. Easy Peasy!
Hope this helps. 

By Sandi [394] 

At the Dollar Store you can get "universal" drain stoppers.
They look like a 3/16" thick, 4" x 4" flexible rubber square. 
You just lay them over a sink or tub drain. 

Some have a hole punched in a corner to attach a ball chain 
or string, so that you can pull the flap in a hurry, if the 
water is too hot or too high to reach in. Just attach the ball 
chain or string to the faucets, and you will never have to
search for it. It will never break, even if you drop a big,
cast iron pot into the sink. Works great!
Have Fun!

Knowing that the minister was very fond of cherry brandy,
one of the church elders offered to present him with a bottle
on one consideration - that the pastor acknowledge receipt
of the gift in the church paper.

"Gladly," responded the good man.

When the church magazine came out a few days later, the elder
turned at once to the "appreciation" column.  There he read:
"The minister extends his thanks to Elder Brown for his gift
of fruit and for the spirit in which it was given."

Good Morning,  !

Today is Wednesday, July 9.

Windows 9 will be released this fall.
Apparently Microsoft has realized that Windows 8 
belongs on the same shelf as Vista and DOS 4.

According to NetMarketShare, the combined market share of 
Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 is just 12.54 percent, more than 
Apple’s Mac OS share, but far less than the 25.31 percent 
held by Windows XP, or the 50.55 percent share held by 
Windows 7. Those are actual user numbers, not claimed "sales"
which include donations to foreign countries by the 
Bill&Melinda foundation.

What I find significant is the 25.31% XP. Considering the
difficulty in getting XP CDs, that is a really solid
one finger salute to Microsoft.

Those figures don't include Linux. "That's industrial, 
commercial and professional users."
If all the made-for-XP and newer machines, that are 
running Linux were included, then the Windows 8/8.1 
share would be way less than 1%.
For these stats they just use home users.

Is Microsoft taking a hint, that people would rather have 
something funtional like XP, instead of hysterical changes 
of the user interface and different ways of getting the 
same old work done? 
Currently the only "sales" of Windows 8/8.1 are pre-installed 
in new machines, without giving the buyer a choice. 

So, what is Microsoft doing about that? 
Is Windows 9 getting back towards XP ?
No.

It seems that they are going to drive even more people 
to Linux and Mac. They are going to have their computer
building companies in China pre-install Windows 9, 
but require the victims to visit the Microsoft online 
store to buy a license. 
I have a hunch, many will stop on the way and get a 
free Linux instead.

Currently, the only real problem with Linux is that there 
are so many different "flavors", and the fans of each getting
rather religious about THEIR chosen flavor.

In the industry we just laugh about that and use CentOS, the
free version of RedHat Linux. CentOS is the same as RedHat,
just without tech support. If you have seen pictures of big
server "farms", with a Million or more computers, that are 
just blades on racks, those all use CentOS Linux, 
not any kind of Windows.

Microsoft instead is frantically chasing the cloud. They 
want you to "lease" Microsoft Office, with the program sitting
on THEIR servers, "the cloud", instead of in your computer.
You simply pay your monthly lease for Microsoft Office, and 
your corner of a cloud to store your files. 
While that is handy if you just one-finger-poke at a thin 
phone, it is not what big-screen computer users want.

If you managed to hang on to an XP, treat it gently and
vacuum out the dust bunnies, It's that time of the year, 
when they tend to overheat. 
The same of course goes for W7 machines. Vacuum them out!
Maybe Windows 10 will be better, or maybe by then you will 
be ready for Linux or Mac?

Have FUN!

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Christine Saunders, 45, DeKalb County, Alabama

Drunk Alabama woman rode stolen horse 
to rob a store

An Alabama woman was arrested on Friday after police say
she drunkenly stole a horse and rode it to a store to 
steal some merchandise.

Christine Saunders, 45, was initially only hit with 
alcohol-related charges, but police say more charges 
could be on the way, according to AL.com.

Authorities responded after receiving a call about an 
intoxicated woman causing a disturbance at a store in 
DeKalb County on Saturday evening.
According to Sheriff Jimmy Harris, Saunders had a horse, 
that she was believed to be riding, tied up outside of the 
store. Officers recovered three cans of Keystone Light in 
a Walmart bag that was tied to the saddle horn.

The horse was returned to its owner, who did not press 
charges.

Saunders was charged with public intoxication and illegal 
possession of a prohibited beverage.

Apparently, in Alabama, unopened cans of beer are not allowed 
in a shopping bag tied to a saddle horn.

Re: Mysterious Windows Shut-downs

Dear Webby,
How are you feeling after all the eye injections? I hope 
this finds you feeling much better.

I am having a big problem and windows seem to be ignorant 
of why their product doesn't work right.
I have a window 7 and it just closes for no apparent reason.
Do you have any suggestion on how I might be able to fix it?

Thank you so much for all your wonderful emails.

Mary

Dear Mary
The next injections are due July 30.
The left eye cataract operation is on July 15.

Yes, Microsoft is rather clueless about that sort of thing.

However, in your case, it might be simply overheating.
Some computers give you a warning and reduce processor speed, 
others just "pull the plug", which is rather stupid, since 
that shuts down the fans, while heat is still migrating from 
the inside of components.

If the mystery shut-downs happen during afternoon or evening, 
but not during cool mornings, then I would recommend opening 
the case, vacuuming the dust bunnies out and cleaning the 
heat sinks. The heat sinks are those high-tech looking 
aluminum fins. Clean those and the fans with a Q-tip dipped 
in window cleaner.

Please let me know if that solves the problem.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Make Your Mattress Last Longer 
There are so many mattress ads on TV now and they are 
telling us how long we should keep our mattresses. I 
thought you could use a mattress for 20 years, but they 
are telling us 7-8. But then, I turn my mattress in the 
old-fashioned way - upside down and top to bottom - to 
rotate the wear. I let my mattresses air out the morning 
after we use it before we make the bed. All of this goes 
toward giving us more years on our mattress.

Here is a seven year old report, 
timely again with the US Govt considering getting 
involved in Iraq again.

Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U. S.
involvement in Iraq, here's a sobering statistic:
There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq
theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of
2,112 deaths. That gives a violent death rate of 60 per 100,000
soldiers. The violent death rate in Washington D. C. is 80.6 per
100,000 persons for the same period. That means that you are
about 25% more likely to be shot or knifed and killed in the U. S.
Capital than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U. S. should pull out of Washington.

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of   
his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign   
on it saying "Free to good home, You want it you take it."   

For three days the fridge sat there without even one person   
looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were   
too un-trusting of this deal, looks to good to be true, so   
he changed the sign to read "Fridge for sale $5o". The next   
day someone stole it.

It was the first day of school. The previous principal 
had just retired and a new principal just started. As 
the principal made his rounds, he heard a terrible 
commotion coming from one of the classrooms.

He rushed in and spotted one boy, taller than the others, 
who seemed to be making the most noise. He seized the lad, 
dragged him to the hall, and told him to wait there until 
he was excused.

Returning to the classroom, the principal restored order 
and lectured the class for half an hour about the 
importance of good behavior.

"Now," he said, "are there any questions?"

One girl stood up timidly. "Please sir," she asked, 
"May we have our teacher back?"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Devon Serpa, 29, Morgan City, Louisiana

Re: Making screen Savers

Dear Webby,
As I have told you many times, I love your Dad's pictures of
his cacti. I would like to make them in to screen savers,
but my senior mind has forgot how. Can you help me?
I have learned many things from your computer tips and
enjoy the letter immensely. I like the links you have on left
side as they remind me to click on them & feed the poor,
animals, and the breast cancer sight. You do lots of good
for so many.
Many thanks,
Tammy

Dear Tammy
The easiest way to make a screensaver is this:
Use the Windows File Explorer to find your "My Pictures" 
folder.
Make a new folder inside that and call it Archive
Switch the File Explorer to Thumbnail view,
Click on Folders, so that it shows the folders on the left side.
(This works much better in Classical mode)
Drag all pictures that you don't want included in your
     screen saver into the "Archive" folder.
Save any new pictures, that you want included, into the
    "My Pictures" folder.
Right-click on the desktop, Properties, Appearance, Screensaver
Select "My Pictures"
Set the delay time, and hit OK a bunch of times.
From then on you will have a slide show of the pictures in
"My Pictures" as a screen saver.

The reason to move all the old pictures into the Archive 
folder is because some of them might not be appropriate
for a screensaver.
Have FUN!

A man is struck by a bus on a busy street in New York City.
He lies dying on the sidewalk as a crowd of spectators 
gathers around.

"A priest! Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasps. 
A policeman checks the crowd but finds no priest, no 
minister, no man of God of any kind.

"A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dying man says again. Then out 
of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of at least 
eighty years of age."Mr. Policeman," says the man, 
"I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Catholic. But for 
fifty years now I'm living behind St. Mary's Catholic 
Church on Third Avenue, and every night I'm listening 
to the Catholic litany. Maybe I can be of some comfort 
to this man."

The policeman agrees and brings the octogenarian over 
to the dying man. He kneels down, leans over the injured
and says in a solemn voice:

"Under the B - 4. 
Under the I - 19. 
Under the N - 38. 
Under the G - 54. 
Under the O - 72." 
BINGO!


It was Saturday morning as Jake, an avid hunter, woke up ready
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. Later they arrive at the hunting site.
Jake sets his 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 away from my deer!"
Confused, Jake races faster towards his screaming wife. And again he
hears her yell: "Get 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
cowboy, with his hands high in the air.
The cowboy, obviously distraught, says: "Okay, lady, okay!!!!
You can have your deer!!! Just let me get my saddle off it!"

Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital, near
death.  The family called their pastor to stand with them. As the
pastor stood next to the bed, Fred's condition appeared to
deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to write
on. The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper,
and Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then he
died.  The pastor thought it best not to look at the note at that
time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket.

Several days later, at the funeral, as the pastor was finishing
the eulogy, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that
he was wearing when Fred had died. He said, "you know, ol' Fred
handed me a note just before he died.  I haven't looked at it,
but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there
for us all. I will let his wife read the note to us!"

She opened the note, and read aloud,
"Get lost you blathering idiot. 
You're standing on my oxygen tube!"

Just as John got in the door, after staying at the bar a bit
too long, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and
cuckooed 3 times. He realized his wife would probably wake
up, so he cuckooed another 9 times. He was really proud of
himself, having a quick witty solution, even when smashed, 
to escape a possible conflict.

Next morning the wife asked him what time he got in and he
told her 12 o'clock. She didn't seem disturbed at all. Whew!

Got away with that one!

She then told him that they needed a new cuckoo clock. When
he asked her why, she said "Well, it cuckooed 3 times, said
'Oh, f@#%,' cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat,
cuckooed another 3 times, snickered, and finally cuckooed
twice more, and then it farted."

She asked the woman, "What's the catch? Why are you selling this

Ancient Classic:
Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the 
place is absolutely packed to the rafters. In a bid to 
break the ice with his new audience He asks if anyone 
would like him to play a request. 
A little old Japanese man jumps out of his seat in the 
first row and shouts at the top of his voice 
"Play a Jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!"

Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences 
in Stevie's varied career, the blind impresario starts 
to play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult 
jazz melody for about 10 minutes. When he finishes the 
whole place goes wild. The little old man jumps up again 
and shouts "No, no, play a Jazz chord, play a Jazz chord".

A bit peeved by this, Stevie, being the professional that 
he is, dives straight into a jazz improvisation with his 
band around the B-flat minor chord and really tears the 
place apart. The crowd goes wild with this impromptu show 
of his technical expertise. 

The little old man jumps up again. "No, no. Play a Jazz chord, 
play a jazz chord".

Well and truly peeved that this little guy doesn't seem to 
appreciate his playing ability. Stevie says to him from the 
stage "OK smart alek, You get up here and do it!"

The little old man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of 
the mike and starts to sing:
"A jazz chord to say I ruv you..."

Marquice Lamonz Anderson, 27, St. Petersburg, Florida

Florida man charged with hit-and-run 
that killed 3 women

Police in Florida are searching for a man suspected of 
driving a vehicle involved in a fiery hit-and-run crash 
that killed three Tampa Bay-area women.

St. Petersburg Police spokesman Mike Puetz said Saturday 
that 27-year-old Marquice Lamonz Anderson is being sought on 
warrants that include charges of vehicular homicide, leaving 
the scene of an accident involving death, driving on a 
suspended license and violation of probation.

Authorities say Anderson was driving a four-door Chrysler 200 
the wrong way down a street early Thursday morning when it 
crashed into a Saturn vehicle with three female occupants.
Two of the women — 23-year-old Briana Lequinda Campbell and 
21-year-old Jamesia Chera Santoria Lang — remained in the 
burning car and were pronounced dead at the scene. A third, 
25-year-old Grace Lashawn Collie, died at a Tampa hospital 
Friday.

Anderson has numerous past arrests on drug-related charges 
and was on probation at the time of the accident.

they believe he is hiding and knows officers are looking 
for him.

A cash reward is being offered for information that leads 
to his arrest.

I use dryer lint in a cardboard egg carton and drizzle old 
candle wax from scented candles that have lost their 
fragrance. It works best from the jar candles on a candle 
warmer. Once it has cooled, I cut the sections of egg

Q: How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one
else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even
know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the
dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured
it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact
that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS.
But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs, TWO
DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand
on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!
AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$%
LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES
OUT THE GARBAGE!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE
PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE.
THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS . . .

I'm sorry. . .what did you ask me?

>From Roland
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with 
four young mothers and their small children.

"You all have obsessions," he observed. To the first mother, 
Mary, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even 
named your daughter Candy."

He turned to the 2nd mom, Ann and said, "Your obsession is 
with money.  Again, it manifests itself in your child's 
name, Penny."

He turned to the 3rd mom, Joyce. "Your obsession is alcohol. 
This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy."

At this point, the 4th mother, Mrs Smith, quietly got up, 
took her little boy by the hand, and whispered,
"Come on, Dick, this guy has no idea what he's talking about. 
Let's pick up Peter and Willy from school and go get dinner
for Rolly."

Charles Tapp, 24, 

Florida man charged with making meth on beach

Charles J. Tapp is accused of making methamphetamine in his 
car at a Florida beach.

The beach is a place for surf, sun and sand -- not meth 
making. However, a man in St. Petersburg, Florida, is 
facing drug charges after allegedly cooking up 
methamphetamine in his truck at Gandy Beach.

Charles J. Tapp, 24, was arrested June 14 after deputies 
in Pinellas County noticed a dark colored Chevy Silverado 
parked along the beach's tree line.

Tapp was in the truck as were several needles. 
An investigation of the vehicle turned up other items that 
indicated the suspect was making meth in it, WTSP TV reports.
Tapp was arrested on charges of possessing methamphetamine 
and unlawful possession of pseudoephedrine and hydrochloric 
gas, chemicals used to make methamphetamine.

Police said that Tapp admitted to manufacturing meth during 
questioning, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

He was taken to the Pinellas County jail, and later released 
on $10,000 bail, according to the jail's website.

Re: Make FF restore old sessions

Good morning Webby
Yesterday, you mentioned that any good browser will open up 
with all 127 tabs that were open when it was last closed. 
Firefox used to do that on my computer but stopped doing 
so several months ago, before the big upgrade.
Is there something I can do to change that back?
Thanks for all you do
Len

Dear Len
The only real reason to turn that off is when many people
use the same machine, and you don't want to let any of the
others restore YOUR sessions. Any other time, it is best
to leave Sessionrestore turned on.

In the address bar, type in:
about:config 
and hit Enter. You'll get a warning, ignore that.
Now, find "browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash" in the list. 
Double-click that entry, and turn it to true
OK out of there and it is done.
There may be some weird exception, where some Windows setting
will interfere with Sessionrestore, but so far I have not
found anything about that setting.

Have FUN!

Removing Dry Erase Marker from Clothes
I let my little grandson scribble with a dry erase marker 
and he got it all over his shirt. I was really surprised 
that it would be so difficult to get out. I tried all the 
tips listed, except for the ink remover. Alcohol did 
nothing, Goof-off did nothing. Murphy's Oil Soap finally 
began to budge the color. Then I remembered my Spot Shot 
carpet cleaner. That took it right out. 

Now, was it a combination of everything that went before 
or just the Spot Shot I am not sure. I am so grateful 
something works.

A newspaper reporter for the Los Angeles Times had received
instructions from his senior editor to get photographs of a brush fire
in the foothills of northern California. The instructions included
hurrying to the Santa Monica Airport to board a small plane, taking
some photos of the fire, and hurrying back by noon with the story.

The reporter dressed quickly, rushed to the airport, saw the small
plane waiting on the runway, drove his car to the end of the runway,
parked, and climbed on board. Off they flew into the clear blue skies.

At about 5,000 feet, the reporter took out his camera and said to the
man flying the plane, "Bank right and I'll take some pictures of this
fire."

Then he heard the most frightening questions of his life, "Bank right?
How do I do that? You ARE the instructor, aren't you?"

Out canvassing for a charity, my friend Irene and I knocked
at a door. It was opened by a huge bear of a man, who was
wearing a large black bra, over his shirt.

Irene, being a devout  Catholic, crossed herself, backed up
ready to make a fast retreat.  I asked politely for a donation,
trying to keep my eyes from wandering to his protruding
undergarment.
He grinned evilly at me, "Wanna feel em?"

Horrified, I turned to leave, when one side of his bra came
alive with motion. Irene was now crossing herself with a
flurry, muttering, "Jaysus,  Mary and Murphy."

She was begging the saints to protect  her, when a tiny
tail flipped out of his bra.
"Oh my sweet Lord," she squealed, "He's got rats in his
boobs," bolted for the car, offering up 'Hail Mary's.' as
she tore off the porch.

An old lady came out of the house, glared at the man, who
just grinned back. He put his hands up to cradle both cups,
which were now writhing with movement.

She turned to me asking, "Did he ask you to play with them?"
"Yes", I gulped.

"Well," she said, patting my hand,  " He's not too bright,
but it's not what you think."

She ordered him to pull his bra out so I could peek inside.
Hesitantly I watched, while he pulled the garment down.
When I got a good look I burst out laughing.
Tiny muzzles with whiskers, long sinuous bodies, small
heads with  bright beady eyes, stared back at me.

"Their mama died," he explained, " This bra is the perfect
place to keep them warm."
Both cups were filled to the brim with tiny baby ferrets.

and she was holding it for a friend.

The Daily Herald reports Rodriguez was arrested and 
booked into the Utah County Jail on several drug charges.  
They did not state wheter she always looks like she had 
been left on the back of a pick-up too long, or if she

Re: Fake McAfee virus

Dear Webby:
I have had a lot of computer issues lately which started 
with a popup message from McAfee that said I had a Trojan 
on my computer..  I could not get the pop up window to 
go away so I googled a help number for McAfee Anti-Virus 
plus and found an 800 number.  I called it and "assumed" 
I was talking to McAfee Technical support...to make a 
long story short, I was actually connected with a company 
named IYOGI and they told me they could fix all my problems 
with their program- IYOGI Support Dock- $169.99 and a 
program called Total Defense- $29.99.  Our of sheer 
frustration I agreed to this and they immediately charged 
my credit card.  They did however, that evening, after 
4 hours on the phone with them, and they had remote 
control of my computer, seem to fix the problem.
 
The next day more troubles....................temp files, 
many of them, all over my desktop.  I restarted the 
computer hoping that this would get rid of all the temp 
file but when I did, all I got was a blue screen saying 
Windows was configuring my computer..Do Not Turn your 
computer OFF.  It froze at 35% and nothing else happened.
I called the IYOGI people back because they had promised 
for the money I paid them, they would be available anytime 
I had computer problems. After another lengthy session on 
the phone with them, and they again had remote control of 
my computer, they advised I URGENTLY need to upgrade to 
Windows 8 instead of the Windows 7 Home Premium that I 
have and they tried to sell me Windows 8 for $170.00.  
I told them no thanks and they said that my Windows 7 
Home Premium is what is causing all the problems and 
that the program is obsolete. 
I guess I have been duped by these people and I am 
embarrassed with myself that I didn't have the good 
sense to tell them no thanks, when I found out they 
were not McAfee.  When you Google "McAfee Anti-Virus Plus" 
support help, their 800 number comes up.  
Is that even legal?
 
I don't know what the future is for my computer...
is there any truth to what they said...that I should 
get Windows 8 installed on my computer?
 
Webby, thanks so much for any insight you can give me 
regarding this.  I so appreciate your newsletter, and you!!
C. B.

Dear CB
Sounds like you have been conned.
Call your credit card company, report the crooks and 
cancel the charges.

Those pop-ups are not from McAfee, but from the crooks.
The same with the redirection of your browser to the 
fake McAfee site. 

As I have mentioned on this topic before,
you need Malwarebytes to get rid of that 
Fake Mcafee Trojan.

Both the fake and the REAL McAfee are scared of Malwarebytes.
That is like both crooks and victims pissing themselves, 
when they see ROBO-COP.
 
Ignore their hysterical warnings abut Malwarebytes interfering 
with their stuff.

Go ahead and let Malwarebytes clean up the mess.

IYOGI may have  damaged your Windows7, but you or a local 
computer fixer can safely re-install Windows7 with a minimum 
of fuss or cost, 
AFTER you have made it safe with Malwarebytes.

You do NOT need W8. It is even worse than W7 for you anyway.

The REAL McAfee has nothing to do with your problem, and calling 
them is a waste of time. 

Proof, that the real Mcafee DOES need Malwarebytes on the side, 
to protect it from the fake one, is that the real McAfee was 
NOT able to stop the fake McAfee from infecting your machine.
Mosquito mesh keeps out the bugs, but bears walk right 
through it.

McAfee is OK for simple, every-day nuisances, but you do 
need Malwarebytes to protect  the real Mcafee from the 
fake Mcafee and similar really dangerous stuff.

Have FUN!

Glowsticks Instead Of Fireworks 
For The Fourth Of July 
We camp on the 4th of July in an area where fireworks are 
not allowed so we came up with this idea. Buy red, white 
and blue, (or whatever colors you choose) glowsticks, 
necklaces, etc. at your local 99 cent store. On the 4th, 
snap your glow sticks and play games of throwing them back 
and forth, or have contests to see how high someone can 
throw them in the air. We get creative every year we play 
with glowsticks on the 4th. It's so fun.

when trouble began around midnight on June 16. Finley 
told St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office deputies that he 
and Highley “are not a couple.”

Finley, investigators reported, said that Elizabeth Highley 
“wanted to have sex,“ but he “rejected her sexual advances 
causing her to become angry and violent.” Elizabeth Highley
allegedly grabbed a knife and sliced Finley’s left thumb as 
he fled her Windmill Village home.

Cops subsequently encountered Elizabeth Highley as she ran 
after Finley, who is pictured below in an unrelated mug shot. 
Elizabeth Highley, carrying a large knife and a broken 
wooden cane, complied with Officer Paul Hutchinson’s order 
to drop the weapons and lie down on the ground.

Elizabeth Highley, the cop noted, was “angry, crying and 
appeared to be intogschiggated” when taken into custody. 
She was released later in the day after posting bail on 
the aggravated assault count.

Getting Rid of Ants Without Poison 
I have had great success this year with using cinnamon on 
my kitchen counter and windowsill to keep the sugar ants 
at bay. So when I found ants congregating near my garage 
wall, I knew just what to do.

We had recently moved a fridge and there was some leftover 
gunk underneath that the ants found. There were hundreds of 
them feasting. I went and grabbed my Costco sized spice 
bottle and then covered them with a heavy coating of cinnamon. 
Immediately, the ants scatter. They do not like the cinnamon 
at all. Within a few minutes, they were gone. I'll reapply 
cinnamon if I see any places where the ants are still getting 
through. It is non-toxic and frugal.

His wife raises her head off the gr! een and stares at him.
'I'm dying over here and you're putting?'

'Don't worry dear', says the husband calmly. 'they found a

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Tavish Smith, 

Giggling woman busted for crashing truck, 
twice, and eating her pot in cop car

cops say a Florida woman with a case of the giggles crashed 
her car and then tried to eat her stash of pot in the back 
of a squad car.

Tavish Smith, 45, was pulled over June 13 on suspicion of 
DUI along U.S. 1 in Brevard County, Florida, after she 
allegedly crashed her truck, drove the wrong way on U.S. 1, 
then crashed again.

The arresting officer put her in the back of his cruiser while 
he searched her truck.

He allegedly found a small sandwich bag of marijuana in the 
vehicle, according to the New York Daily News.

A surveillance video taken inside the squad car shows a woman 
identified as Smith denying the marijuana is hers.

The suspect appears to wiggle out of her handcuffs, reach into 
the front seat of the cop car, and grab the pot-filled sandwich 
bag, according to police.

Then she allegedly started to eat the cannabis, Local10.com 
reports.

It was when she tried to slip back into her handcuffs that 
she was busted.

"Do you have your handcuffs in front already?" The trooper 
asked in the video. "Did you slip out?"

Smith said no.

"I could have sworn I just saw you scratch your nose," the 
trooper said.

"Oh yeah I did," Smith said.

"Stay in your handcuffs please," the trooper said. 
"I hope that's not why this marijuana bag was open over here. 
Bags of weed just don't go missing inside a police car."

Smith's alleged marijuana munching bumped what were 
misdemeanor charges up to a felony, according to WTSP TV.

Smith has been released on bail, but she has been suspended 
from her job as an employee for a Brevard County judge, 
HLN TV reports.

Dear Marilee
I fondly remember a Marilee from the days before computers.

Leave the modem running, but shut windows down, if you are 
not going to use it for two or more hours.

Yes, I know, unlike UNIX or Linux, Windows is not starting
very gracefully, and takes a lot of time. However, you will 
notice that it runs a bit faster with a daily shut-down
than with a monthly one.

Just go make a fresh pot of coffee while it starts up.

The CIA loses track of one of its operatives, and so calls in
one of their top spy hunters.

The CIA boss says, "All I can tell you is that his name is
Murphy and that he's somewhere in Ireland.  If you think
you've located him, tell him the code words, 'The weather
forecast calls for mist in the morning.' If it's really him, he'll
answer, 'Yes, and for mist at noon as well.'"

So the spy hunter goes to Ireland and stops in a bar in one of
the small towns.  He says to the bartender, "Maybe you can
help me. I'm looking for a guy named Murphy."

The bartender replies, "You're going to have to be more
specific because, around here, there are lots of guys named
Murphy. There's Murphy the Baker, who runs the pastry shop
on the next block. There's Murphy the Banker, who's president
of our local savings bank.  There's Murphy the Blacksmith, who
works at the stables.  And, as a matter of fact, my name is
Murphy, too."

Hearing this, the spy hunter figures he might as well try the
code words on the bartender, so he says, "The weather forecast
calls for mist in the morning."

The bartender replies, "Oh, you're looking for Murphy the Spy.
He lives next door, up on the second floor."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Derrick Price, 43, Orange County, Florida

Running a strip club out of barber shop

Get your ears lowered and your pants raised.
That may have been the business model of a strip bar 
that was allegedly run out of a barber shop in Orange County, 
Florida.

Undercover agents working for the Metropolitan Bureau of 
Investigation conducted a many months long investigation of 
Super Fades barber shop before finally raiding the place 
early Sunday morning.

MBI investigator Lt. Mike Gibson said the agents visited the 
barbershop by day and saw it turn into an illegal strip bar 
every Saturday night.

“On each and every occasion they were serving alcohol and 
they had strippers. And, not strippers following local law, 
but strippers that went completely nude,” Gibson told WFTV TV.

Along with the barber pole in front of Super Fades, there was 
a stripper pole installed inside the establishment.

"That would have been a piece of equipment that was there 
even when they operated during the day while they acted as a 
barbershop," Gibson said, according to UPI.com

Agents purchased $20 worth of illegal vodka at Super Fades 
early Sunday morning before discovering one of the dancers 
was a 17-year-old female.

"As we were conducting the investigation, we were able to 
identify one of the dancers being a juvenile, and that led 
to the need to speed the investigation up," Gibson told WESH TV.

Derrick Price, 43, the owner of Super Fades, was arrested and 
charged with allowing a worker to engage in nudity, allowing a 
person under 18 in an adult entertainment establishment, 
operation of an establishment without a valid license and 
possession of alcohol without a license with intent to sell.

He was released after posting bond and is due in court on Monday.

The 17-year-old who was allegedly stripping was also arrested.

Gibson said the stripping pole has since been removed.

Re: Kasperski vs McAfee vs Malwarebytes

Dear Webby
 your efforts in your newsletter continue to be greatly 
appreciated, as they have for a few years now. 

How does the kaspersky internet security malware detection 
compare to malwarebytes anti-malware you now tout ?

Are malware programs similar to anti-virus programs in the 
respect of you do not want to run two programs concurrently ?

How does spy-bot fit into the malware picture, it does cookies 
not malware ?

Again thank you for your time & sharing your wisdom.

steve j.

Dear Steve
Kasperski is the equivalent of McAfee. Some months McAfee is 
a nose ahead, some months it's Kasperski. Both are huge 
companies and not really known for good personal support.
However, they generally run fine and very rarely require 
contacting their support.

You can consider those two, and Vipre as well, as heavy bombers. 
Slow, and reasonably reliable.

They try to be a total solution for everything, including
blocking spam. However, they are rather klutzy about that. 
It is best to disable their email section.
The same goes for Vipre.

MalwareBytes by comparison is a fighter plane. It can take 
care of really nasty trojans, which disable McAfee and 
Kasperski.
Malwarebytes also goes after "agreed to" nuisance stuff, 
like pop up ads, browser redirection, search engine 
redirection, etc. MalwareBytes does not care who agreed 
to that kind of crap. It recognizes crap and flushes it.

Both Kasperski and McAfee try to uninstall Malwarebytes. 
They seem to be really jealous and envious and start a 
silly pissing contest.

Most recommendations are that you stick with McAfee or 
Kasperski or Vipre for continuous routine protection, 
and use MalwareBytes just for extreme problems or 
"agreed to" crap.

I have run machines with just MalwareBytes, and found 
it to be sufficient.

Spybot-Search&Destroy is free and will get some 
light-weight stuff. Because it is free, it is a good 
idea to try that first, before spending money.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Dewey Green, 23, Douglasville, Georgia

Georgia driver, repeatedly ran over woman 
at traffic light

A Georgia man is charged with murder after running over a 
woman with his car.

Dewey Green, 23, drove up behind an SUV sitting at a traffic 
light in Douglasville on Wednesday afternoon. Green allegedly 
rammed the vehicle with his own car multiple times, according 
to WSBTV.

The victim, 53-year-old Janice Pitts, got out to see how 
badly the SUV was damaged, and Green allegedly slammed into 
her, pinning the woman up against the vehicle.

Pitts' adult daughter, Iesha Davis, tried to save her mother, 
jumping on Green's car and begging him to stop crushing the 
woman.

Police say that after Green backed up and Pitt fell to the 
ground, he ran her over. He then allegedly backed up over her 
body again, according to AL.com

“I'll never ever get the image of my mom lifeless body lying 
on the pavement and the man ran her over like she was nothing," 
Davis told WSBTV.

Davis' 4-year-old son was also in the vehicle at the time.

"Imagine your mother minding her own business and being 
killed brutally,'' Nakeeta Davis, Pitts' other daughter who 
was not at the scene of the crime, told AL.com. "This man 
was out to kill. He didn't stop until he got what he was 
after."

Pitts, who died at the scene, was studying for a master's 
degree in psychology and was planning to open a non-profit 
for abused women and children.

Acting District Attorney Brian Fortner told the Atlanta 
Journal-Constitution that it does not appear Pitt and Green 
knew each other, and that there is no indication Green 
suffered from mental illness. Police say Green seemed 
dazed and confused and reeked of alcohol.

“No doubt there's alcohol involved,” said Stan Copeland 
with Douglas County police. Officials are trying to 
determine if he was additionally under the influence 
of drugs.

Monsters Be Gone Kit
Made about a thousand of these, LOL!
Supplies:
Spray Bottle
Lavender Oil
Steps:
Mix ten to twelve drops of lavender with water. 
Put the spray top on and label the bottle.
Get a box and decorate it. Write on the side: 
"Monsters Beware Kit". 
On the other side, write "(Child's Name), 
Go Away I Say Kit!" 
Put spray, a tiny flashlight, and a small bell in the 
box. Tell the child to ring the bell, because monsters 
do not like bells (but really to wake up the parent) 
and take the flashlight and turn it on because they hate 
light. Then, spray the bed and under it to make them leave!

Thanks to Linda for this story:
As the owner of a clunker, I was used to dealing with a 
variety of car breakdowns. One day at the supermarket, 
just after I had filled my trunk with groceries, I noticed 
a stream of fluid pouring out of the bottom of the car. 
I knew I had to get home before the car was once again out 
of action.

When I arrived I asked my husband to take a look at the 
problem.

Expecting the worst, I braced myself for his diagnosis. 
When he came back in, he was smiling. "It's apple juice," 
he said.

Since this is their first party and the wife hasn't done much
cooking, the husband suggests they order out for Chinese
food and she could bake a cake for dessert. She agrees,
but on Friday afternoon, the wife calls her husband in tears.
"The only recipe I can find is for a cake that will feed four,"
she says.

"Why don't you just double the recipe?" her husband asks.
Just before quitting time the husband gets another call
from her, and this time she is frantic.

"I just can't do it," she says. "It's impossible."

"Now, now, what's the matter?"

"Well, I doubled everything, just like you said," she tells
him, "and it's ready to go in the oven."

"Then what's the problem?" he asks.
The wife sobs. "The book says that the cake must be
baked at 350 degrees. I've checked the oven and it doesn't
go up to 700 degrees!"

"That's probably metric, just bake it at 350,
but don't double the time!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Wilhelmina Rodenhuis, 60, Grover Beach, California

Woman, who deliberately sprayed weedkiller
into a 7 year old girl's face.

Grover Beach police arrested a woman Wednesday evening for 
spraying a child in the face with a weed killer.

Detectives have not yet determined a motive, but police say 
that 60-year-old Julie Wilhelmina Rodenhuis approached a 
seven-year-old and sprayed pesticide in the child’s eyes. 
The incident occurred around 7:15 p.m. Wednesday in a 
condominium complex at 676 North 12th Street in Grover Beach.

Family members immediately treated the child until medical 
responders arrived. The child received further treatment 
at a local hospital and was released.

Officers charged Rodenhuis with child endangerment, assault 
with a deadly weapon and battery with serious child 
endangerment. Rodenhuis could receive addition charges.

She is currently in San Luis Obispo County Jail on a 
$100,000 bond.

No site lists a motive, just that Rodenhuis has been 
involved in many neighborhood disputes, that some 
have permanent restraining orders against her, and pretty
well all local commenters agree that she is crazy.

Re: Google Chrome infection?

Dear Webby:
It seems my Google chrome has an infected file because my 
McAfee (I don't believe it is really McAfee that keeps 
popping this window up)keeps popping up a window that says 
a Trojan has been found and if I restart my computer, it 
will be fixed.  I restarted 4 times and the pop up that 
says it is from McAfee still says it has found and 
infected file and to restart my computer.  
 
I did a complete scan with my McAfee and it says: no 
issues found.
 
I closed Google Chrome and am now using Firefox and the 
issue is gone.  It only happens when I am using Google 
Chrome.  Should I uninstall Chrome and re-install it as 
I like it better than Firefox?
 
Any help you can give me will be appreciated. 
Many thanks
C.

Dear C
Whatever you do, do NOT restart! That is a common ploy of
many infections for installing a new super-user above you.

Quite possibly your McAfee has been compromised, just like 
your Google Chrome. Now you need stronger medicine.
See that big link at the top of the side menu?
MalwareBytes
That should clean the crap out of your machine.
After that, uninstall McAfee and Chrome.
Run Malwarebyts again to make sure the machine is clean.
Then you can re-install a fresh McAfee, if you want it, 
and Chrome.

Quite likely the infection started, when you agreed to 
something or other. That causes mcAfee to bow out and 
list that as something you want and agreed to,

Malwarebytes is not that polite with crooked shit.
No matter who agreed to it, out it goes.

When Microsoft stopped allowing the round clock "gadet",
I searched for an alternative and eventually found a 
site with hundreds of clocks. I picked one, and during 
the installation of it, hit Enter without reading the 
small print one time too often. And got infected.
McAfee allowed that crap, since I had agreed to it.
GRRRRR!
So I installed MalwareBytes
It cleaned out not only THAT infection, but a few more, 
that I suspected, but never had the time to hunt dwon.

THAT is why MalwareBytes got the spot of honor on top of
the recommended resources in the side menu.

Exchange Keys With A Neighbor
My neighbor and I exchanged house keys so that we could 
enter each other's homes in case of an emergency or to feed 
pets while one of us is on vacation, etc. I bought two 
magnetic key holders and gave one to my neighbor to hide 
(I know where) on her porch for my house key and I put the 
other one under my metal mailbox with my neighbor's key 
in it.

If someone happened to find the key holder, the key wouldn't 
work in the lock where the key is hidden and I doubt they 
would go around trying the neighbor's doors. Also, her kids 
often forget their keys and can get their spare after school 
to get into their own house even if I'm not home.

Woman Charged For Brutal Beating Caught On Tape

JUNE 26--Police today charged a female McDonald’s employee 
for the vicious beating of a New Jersey woman whose 
two-year-old small son tried to stop the attack, a video 
of which went viral this week.  

Latia Harris, 25, has been named in a criminal complaint 
accusing her of aggravated assault and two counts of making 
terroristic threats, according to a court filing. The brutal 
attack occurred Tuesday evening in an open field behind a 
McDonald’s in Salem, a southwestern New Jersey city.

Harris, pictured in the above driver’s license photo, was 
wearing her McDonald’s uniform as she punched, kicked, and 
spat on the 27-year-old victim, who was “covered in blood” 
when emergency service workers arrived at the scene 
(she was subsequently transported to a local hospital for 
treatment).

A video of the attack was posted to Facebook, where it was 
copied by Salem police. Investigators reported that the 
victim told them that “Tia who works at McDonalds” assaulted 
her and accused her of spreading rumors about her and her 
McDonald’s manager.

As seen on the video, during the assault Harris threatened 
to kick the victim’s son in the face. As his mother was 
being beaten, the boy kicked Harris several times in the leg. 
At the conclusion of the assault, Harris “spat on the victim 
and walked away asking those recording the incident not to 
post it on social media,” according to a police statement.

The complaint alleges that Harris also threatened to shoot 
the victim “while punching her about the face.”

Harris, who remains at large, has not reported to work since 
the June 24 incident. When she is apprehended, Harris will be 
booked into jail on the three felony counts, the bail for 
which has already been set at $35,000. 

Interesting to note, none of the half dozen or so dark skinned 
spectators lending moral support and apparently initial help 
holding the victim and kocking her down, helped the white victim 
in any way whatsoever.

Cleaning With Lemons
Don't throw away those lemons after you've used them. They 
are great for scrubbing the kitchen sink. Simply take half 
a squeezed or unsqueezed lemon, dip it in some baking soda 
and scrub away. The baking soda will act as an abrasive 
while the lemon will help remove stains. You can also squeeze 
some lemon juice down the drain to help freshen it. For 
stronger odor elimination, just use some of the peel and turn 
on your disposer. Lemony fresh results every time.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Nicholas Wig, 26, South St. Paul, Minnesota

Minnesota burglar robs home, 
leaves HIS Facebook profile open

A Minnesota man came home to find his house unlocked, cash 
and other items missing, and the accused burglar's Facebook 
profile open on his computer, authorities said.

Nicholas Wig, 26, who has been charged with second degree 
burglary, also left his wet jeans, shoes and a belt lying 
on the floor by the computer in the South St. Paul house, 
according to a criminal complaint.

"This is the first case in Dakota County in which a suspected 
burglar left his Facebook account open," Monica Jensen, 
spokeswoman for the Dakota County Attorney's Office, said 
on Tuesday.

According to the criminal complaint, a resident called 
police on Thursday and told them he found his house in 
disarray, the front door unlocked and a screen removed 
from a side window.

He also saw that "Nick Dub's" Facebook profile was open 
on his computer, the complaint said. Items missing included 
cash, a checkbook, credit cards, keys and a watch, it said.

That same day, the resident recognized Wig on the street 
from his Facebook picture and told police, who found him 
wearing a watch like one taken in the burglary, the 
complaint said.

When police checked Wig for weapons, they found car keys 
and an iPod shuffle, which the resident identified along 
with the watch, the complaint said.

Wig admitted entering the house, swapping his rain-soaked 
clothes for some from the house, logging on to Facebook and 
taking the items reported stolen, the complaint said.

The felony charge calls for up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine,
but he wil undoubtedly get a lot less than that.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Cleaning Cast Iron 
If cast iron is rusty, use steel pads to remove rust and 
wash in hot Dawn detergent really well. Dry cast iron. 
I use cooking oil to season the cast iron; using paper 
towel, rub oil generously onto cast iron, inside and 
outside. Place a heavy duty piece of foil on the shelf 
of the oven and turn thermostat to 350 degrees F. 
Place cast iron top side down and season for 1 hour. 
This will allow the excess oil to drain off the cast 
iron. Allow to cool and wash with warm water. No soap. 

My first item cooked in my iron skillets, is a pan of 
cornbread. I place 2 tablespoons of oil into the skillet 
and heat to slightly smoking and pour the mix into the 
skillet and bake at 400 degrees F. It slides right out. 
No sticking.

After driving all night, a man arrived in a small town where
he decided to stop in the local park and catch some sleep.
Just as he dozed off, there was a knock on the window.
Outside the car, was a jogger.
"Excuse me, can you give me the time?" the jogger inquired.
"Groggily, the man replied, "It's 6:27."
The man closed his eyes and just as he dozed off there was
another knock on the window. There stood another jogger
who said, "I'm sorry to disturb you. Do you have the time?",
Struggling to keep up his spirits he replied, "It's 6:34."
The man rolled up the window but realizing that this could
go on indefinitely, he took paper and pen and created a
sign which read:
"I DO NOT KNOW THE TIME."

He stuck the sign in the window, closed his eyes, and was
barely asleep when there came yet another tap on the window.
The man looked and sure enough, there was another jogger.
He disgustedly rolled down the window and said, "Yeah, what is it?"
The jogger replied, "It's 6:42."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Richard Coleman, City of Leawood, Kansas

Kansas boy forced to remove little 
free library from his yard 


Spenser Collins, 9, loves to read. The idea of sharing his 
love of books with his neighbors thrills him. So with the 
help of his parents, he set up a Little Free Library in 
their yard in Leawood, Kansas.

But the town of Leawood decided the birdhouse-sized 
library was an illegal structure and the family was ordered 
to remove it.

The family moved the Little Free Library into their garage. 
But they are looking to take the issue with City Hall, 
reported ABC affiliate KMBC.

The little library, which was made by the boy’s grandfather, 
was capable of holding a few books. Like the Little Free 
Libraries across the country, it had a “take a book, leave 
a book” note taped on its door. The bookshelf sat next to 
a bench on the family's front yard, which was intended to 
provide a spot for readers to enjoy their books.

"When we got home from vacation, there was a letter from the 
city of Leawood saying that it was in code violation and it 
needed to be torn down by the 19th or we would receive a 
citation," Spencer's mother, Sarah Collins told KMBC.

The City of Leawood bans buildings that aren't attached to 
homes. Since the library was a free standing structure in 
the family's front yard, it was considered illegal. The 
city claims that they have received two complaints regarding 
the library, according to Richard Coleman, Leawood's director 
of community development.

"First, there was just a library. Then, a bench was place next 
to it. I think people were concerned there would be more and 
more stuff at their front yard," Coleman told ABC News.

“I find it rather humorous that the city [of Leawood] thinks 
it is illegal," said Todd Bol, who helped create the Little 
Free Library movement in 2009. 
"It is a sweet thing that brings the community together."

Bol said the Little Free Library has worked well in some of 
the toughest communities across the country. There are more 
than 16,000 Little Free Libraries in 72 countries, 
according to Bol.

Collins family has set up a Facebook page to inform supporters 
of their progress. The page has received over 17,000 "likes."

"Our city law has been around for over a decade. This is the 
first time that we have had a problem with this," Coleman said. 
"We think that it is a great program. It's just that the 
current ordinance doesn't allow it."

Re: FireFox 30 Bugs

Dear Webby
I notice you mention FireFox 30. Is it safe, and  what kind 
of bugs do we have to expect?
Bree

Dear Bree
Yes, FireFox 30 is safe and works well.
The only bug I have an issue with is that the top Windows 
bar bleeds down into the tabs.

I have used a light green fading to dark green top bar 
for active windows since Windows 3.1, and red fading to 
dark red for inactive windows. You were probably still 
jail-bait in those days, but that has become my standard
set-up.

There is no logical reason for the Windows top bar to bleed
down onto the tab colors. Yes, I use Colorful Tabs 24.3.
Highly recommended Add-on! 

I am sure somebody will craft a fix for that in the near future.
In the meantime, that is the only FireFox 30 specific bug, 
that I have come across.

While digging a shaft into the German homeland, German
scientists discovered small pieces of copper at 50 meters.
After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany
announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a
nationwide telephone network.

Naturally, the British government was not that easily impressed.
The British ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper.
At a depth of 100 meters, they discovered small pieces of glass.
Soon the British announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years
ago already had a nationwide fiber net.

Israeli scientists were outraged. They dug 50, 100, and 200
meters underground, but found absolutely nothing. The Israelis
concluded that the ancient Hebrews 55,000 years ago had
cellular telephones.

Satnav

I have a little Satnav, It sits there in my car
A Satnav is a driver's friend, it tells you where you are. 

I have a little Satnav, I've had it most of my life
It's better than the normal ones, My Satnav is my wife. 
  
It gives me full instructions, Especially how to drive
"It's sixty miles an hour", it says, "You're doing sixty five". 

It tells me when to stop and start, And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever, Safe to overtake. 
  
It tells me when a light is red, And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively, Just when to intervene. 

It lists the vehicles just in front, And all those to the rear
And taking this into account, It specifies my gear. 
  
I'm sure no other driver, Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car, It still gives its advice.

It fills me up with counseling, Each journey's pretty fraught
So why don't I exchange it, And get a quieter sort? 
  
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, 
Makes sure I'm properly fed

It washes all my shirts and things, And keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages, And my tendency to scoff,

I only wish that now and then, I could turn the bugger off!!

The cannibals promised they would not.  Four weeks later 
their boss remarked, "You're all working very hard and 
I'm satisfied with your work. We have noticed a marked 
increase in the whole company's performance.
However, one of our secretaries has disappeared.  
Do any of you know what happened to her?"  

The cannibals all shook their heads, "No"

After the boss had left, the leader of the cannibals said 
to the others, "Which one of you idiots ate the secretary?"  

A hand rose hesitantly.

"You fool!" the leader continued. "For four weeks we've been 
eating managers and no one noticed anything.  But NOOOooo, 
you had to go and eat someone who actually does something."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

John Balyo, 

Christian radio personality John Balyo 
admitted guilt in child-sex assault probe

Authorities in Michigan say Christian radio personality 
John Balyo paid to have sexual encounters with minors.

Homeland Security agents and officers from the Michigan 
State Police and Battle Creek Police Department arrested 
Balyo, 35, Friday at a Christian music festival in Gaylord, 
Michigan.

Balyo is facing charges of first-degree (penetration) 
criminal sexual conduct, and has admitted guilt in ONE case,
according to a press release by U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement.

"Baylo paid a defendant, who is the subject of a separate 
child-exploitation investigation, to arrange sexual encounters 
with minor victims," investigators said in the press release.

The man Balyo allegedly paid to arrange the encounters has been 
identified by police as Ronald Lee Moser. The 42-year-old was 
indicted earlier this month in federal court on child 
exploitation and child pornography charges.

"They would meet in hotels in areas around Grand Rapids and 
Balyo would have sex with the children," a Homeland Security 
agent told Woodtv.com.

Balyo's $500,000 bail has been revoked after his admission to
one count, and more to be expected.

Balyo was instantly fired from his radio host job.

No comment is available from his wife, whom he married 
two months ago.

Re: FireFox 30 Forward and backward icons

Dear Webby
Version 30 of FireFox seems to work reasonably well, but
of course the thilly brats had to change the user interface,
so that we would notice that they are still on the loose.

Now the Forward and Backward icons are gone. Restoring Default 
and laboriously getting all the prferences and stuff back the
way it should be, does not help.
However, at some random times those icons do appear!
What is the story?
Dana

Dear Dana
What we had wanted was the wastefully huge padding between
icons removed. Unfortunately, whoever had put in the extra
wide padding seems to have grown up and got a job somewhere.
So, since they could not fix the padding, they made the 
NEXT and PREVIOUS icons "magic".

If you open a tab from an email link, then there is no 
previous page to go to, so they don't show the PREVIOUS icon.
The same for the NEXT. If you have not gone to a PREVIOUS
page, then there is no NEXT page to return to, so they don't
show the NEXT icon.

It makes the top bar a bit spastic, but it does work, and
now that you know what is going on, you will soon get 
comfortable with it.

Have FUN!

Cleaning a Very Burnt Saucepan
Cleaning a Very Burnt Saucepan
I took a telephone call and completely forgot my saucepan 
boiling my Udon noodles. I didn't think anything would shift 
the burnt-on food. How wrong I was. 

I soaked the pot for two days with cheap cola (17p for 2 
litres in my supermarket) and a dash of bicarbonate of soda 
(baking soda).

I was then able to remove all burnt residue with a ball of 
foil and it came up as shiny as if it was new!

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside
her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. 

She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to
this remote door un-locker. Now I can't get into my car. 
Do you think they (pointing to a distant Home Hardware 
store) would have a battery to fit this?"

"Hmmm, I Dunno. Do you have an alarm too?" I asked.

"No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing
it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and
manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you
drive over there and check about the batteries?
Or do you want to ride down there with me?"
