April 1, 1996, the Taco Bell Corp. bought full-page ads in
several major newspapers, describing their recent purchase
of the famous “Liberty Bell”, and their plans to move it
from Philadelphia to their headquarters in California, and
to rename it the “Taco Liberty Bell”. The joke sparked
outrage by concerned Americans, who called and wrote to Taco
Bell, as well as the National Historic Park to complain.
One of the funniest moments that day were when the White
House press secretary was asked about the purchase, he
responded saying that the Lincoln Memorial was also sold and
will now be called the “Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.”

"So, who did you see before coming to me?"
asked the doctor.

"My local General Practitioner."

"Your GP?" scoffed the doctor.  "What a waste of time.  
Tell me, what sort of useless nonsense did he con you into?"

"He told me to go and see you."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Lisa Carr, 
43,
Cincinnati,
Ohio

Former patient drove home in hot ambulance

After being discharged from an Ohio hospital and missing the
last bus home, a woman stole an ambulance and drove it to
her residence, according to police who nabbed the suspect
last night following a brief, low-speed chase.

Cops say that Lisa Carr, 43, was released from Deaconess
Hospital in Cincinnati around 11 PM Thursday.

Following Carr's discharge, an ambulance driver flagged down
a cop car to report that his vehicle--which he left running
outside the hospital while dropping off a patient--had been
boosted.

Police officers were quickly able to track the ambulance via
its GPS signal and began following the vehicle on what
became a 20-minute trek to Carr’s residence 10 miles from
the hospital. The ambulance never topped 30 mph, according
to a police report.

Seen above, Carr was subsequently taken into custody and
questioned by cops. She reportedly admitted to swiping the
Ford E-450 ambulance, telling officers she "took the vehicle
because she missed the last bus."

Carr was arrested for theft, driving with a suspended
license, and failure to comply with police. She was booked
into the Hamilton County jail early this morning and is
scheduled for a court appearance later today.

RE: Compacting mail
Dear Webby,
Under my Outlook Express email, there's a choice for
'File, Folders, Compact, Compact All Folders'.  Would
you please shed some light on any advantage in 
compacting email folders?
It sounds like something to save space, so is it 
something I should be doing?  
Thanks very much.     
Suzanne
ps: you've got the best newsletter going, I love it, 
every bit, and am faced every day with the difficult 
decision of opening it first or saving it for last.  
Thanks again.

Dear Suzanne
Most email programs compact mail either automatically
or via a command like that. Compacting the mail is
similar to the Defrag you can do to the hard drive.

It's a good idea to compact your mail now and then,
but it's not a top priority.

Your mail sort and find operations are a little bit faster
after compacting.

Have FUN!

Our neighbour used the word hypochondriac to describe the 
phase her teen-age daughter was going though.
One day the girl was convinced that the pain on her left
side was appendicitis.

Her mother explained that the appendix is on the right.

"So that's why it hurts to much," her daughter wailed.
"My appendix is on the wrong side."

Recipe: Fried Green Beans

By Sandi/Poor But Proud [515 Posts, 2,254 Comments]

This turns a can of green beans into a side dish that is
just delish!

Ingredients:
green beans (fresh is better, but if you can't get them, a
can of green beans is fine. I prefer french cut.)
butter or margarine
garlic powder (not garlic salt)
some lemon pepper, and if you like, some Italian seasoning.
Nice touches: Sliced almonds, mushrooms, and/or maybe bread
crumbs

Directions:
I put my seasonings in the frying pan before I heat it, to
keep the holes from clogging up. Then add the butter or
margarine. Simply drain your can of beans and drop them in.
Fry until they are a bit crispy and the seasonings have a
little crackle to them.
I often add sliced almonds and sometimes some canned
mushrooms.

Servings: 1-2

Time:	
2 Minutes Preparation Time
2 Minutes Cooking Time

Source: My daughter Sabrina made a fresh green bean
casserole for Christmas. It was amazing, as she pre-fried
the beans and used half the soup. It was too good to let it
go for just the holidays, so I just modified it. Now, I
can't eat them any other way! They are so good and quick,
too.

Weary of constantly picking clothes up from the floor of her

son's room, a mother finally laid down the law: each item of

clothing she had to pick up would cost her son 25 cents. 

The plan backfired a bit. By the end of the week, he owed
her $1.50. She received the money promptly, along with a 50
cent tip and a note that read, 
"Thanks Mom; keep up the good work."

The Copper Clapper Caper

____________________________________________________

There was a mine in a small town that completely collapsed. 
one of the engineers who miraculously survived the disaster
went into the local watering hole. 

The bar was empty except for one lonely soul at the other 
end of the bar. "Hey bartender" said the Engineer, "I'll
have a beer and pour another one for my friend down at the 
end there."

The bartender responded, "I'm sorry sir but that guy's a 
commie and union organizer, and we don't serve his kind 
around here."

"Well, you'd better because if it weren't for that guy, I 
wouldn't be here. You remember when the mine caved ?
Well I was in the mine and so was that guy. When the last of

us were escaping, he held the roof of the mine up with his 
head! So get him a beer and if you don't believe me, look at

the top of his head and you'll see that it's flat from
holding the roof up."

The bartender skeptically served the commie his beer and 
then came back to talk to the Engineer: "I saw the flat spot

on his head but I also couldn't help noticing a big huge
bruise under his chin. What is that all about?"

The engineer responded: "Oh...that's where we put the jack."

Adam said, "Gladly, Lord, what do You want me to do?"
God said, "Go down into that valley."
Adam said, "What's a valley?"
God explained it to him.
Then God said, "Cross the river."
Adam said, "What's a river?"
God explained that to him, and then said, "Go over to the hill......."
Adam said, "What is a hill?"
So, God explained to Adam what a hill was.
He told Adam, "On the other side of the hill you will find a cave"
Adam said, "What's a cave?"
After God explained, he said, 
"In the cave you will find a Woman."
Adam said, "What's a woman?"
So God explained that to him, too.
Then, God said, "I want you to reproduce." 
Adam said, "How do I do that?"
God first said (under his breath), "Geez....."
And then, just like everything else, God explained that to 
Adam, as well.
So, Adam goes down into the valley, across the river, 
and over the hill, into the cave, and finds the woman.

Then, in about five hours, he was back.
God, his patience wearing thin, said angrily, 
"What is it now?"

And Adam said, "What's a headache?"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Thomas Sims,
18,
Birmingham,
AL

Teenager charged in killing, burning of 85-year-old 
Korean War vet

Gene Emory Dacus often sacrificed his own comfort for that
of others.

At the beginning of the 1950s, he was one of many young men
who shipped off to Korea, fighting a war half a world from
his home in Georgia. After the war ended in 1953 and his
three sons — one of whom is disabled — finished school, he
moved with his wife, Earnestine, to Birmingham, Ala., to
care for his grandparents. There, he was embraced by his
neighbors, for whom he often cut the grass — even at 85
years old — to keep the neighborhood looking tidy.

As his neighbor Helen McComb told AL.com, “He’s been here
forever. People here loved Mr. Gene. He was very sweet to
all of the children. He kept our neighborhood clean.”



After his wife passed away in 2005, he cared for his now 60-
year-old disabled son in the house, alone.

“Good man. Uncomparably good man,” Robert Stanley, a
relative, told WBRC.

His son Gary Dacus credits his own success to his father’s
example.

“He taught me good rules and I have a lot of my father in
me,” he told AL.com. “I’m a successful person for that … He
was the most kindhearted gentleman you ever met. He never
met a stranger, and he helped anybody he could.”

On Wednesday, neighbors alerted Stanley, a neighbor and
relative of Dacus’s, that they smelled smoke and saw fire
coming from the back yard of Dacus’s house. They thought
maybe his RV had caught fire, or that someone had set fire
to it — police said witnesses had seen a young black man
running through a nearby alleyway with a red gasoline jug.

Stanley sent his son to investigate.

But the camper wasn’t on fire. What he found was far more
shocking and horrifying.

It was Dacus’s body, in the back yard of the home he lived
in for more than 50 years, engulfed in flames.

“My son was the one that found him,” Stanley told WBRC. “The
neighbors said they thought the camper was on fire. He went
around back to see if the camper was on fire, and it was
Gene.”

McComb, a neighbor, saw Stanley’s son emerge from the yard.

“I could see something burning,” she told AL.com. “Then a
guy ran out yelling somebody had burned up Mr. Gene.”

Dacus was pronounced dead at the scene by Birmingham Fire
and Rescue, WCMH reported.

Video taken by WIAT shows the place where his body was found
— now just a charred black hole starkly contrasting with
the bright green grass surrounding it.

On Thursday, police charged 18-year-old Thomas Sims with
capital murder in the case, meaning that he could
potentially receive the death penalty. He is being held on
no bond, according to AL.com. It is unclear if he has a
lawyer or if he has entered a plea.

Birmingham Police Lt. Sean Edwards told AL.com that it
appears Dacus and Sims got into an argument, before the
teenage doused him with gasoline and lit him on fire.

“It’s disheartening to see someone this young go to this
level of violence,” Edwards said. “To me, what he did to
that elderly gentleman is evil at its finest.”

As police are awaiting autopsy reports, it’s unclear if
Dacus had died before he was burned, but his son Gary hoped
so.

“The only thing I can hope to God for is that he was dead
before he was burned,” Gary told the newspaper. “You expect
your parents to die before you, but to die a horrendous
death like that is unimaginable. My father’s death is a
tragic loss. The community lost one of its pillars.”

In a news conference, Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper
said “This homicide shocks the conscience of any reasonable
person. Our hearts are hurting for the victim, his family
and our community. 
The suspect actually confessed to this crime but we
have not received any logical justification to
explain what happened.” 

It looks like Sims demanded the papers for the vehicles he
had stolen and Gene refused to hand them over.

One factor that might point toward a motive is Dacus’s
missing truck.

Three weeks before Dacus’s death, his car was stolen from
his house, and it hasn’t been recovered. He was worried his
pickup truck, a 1999 white Dodge Ram with a blue hood, would
meet the same fate, so he drove it onto his lawn, AL.com
reported.

The truck went missing around the time of his death, though
it’s unclear exactly when. Police are searching for it and
have said the capital murder charge stems from the theft of
the truck. They also are searching for a second suspect.

Sims now awaits court dates in two cases — the previous
unrelated carjacking and now the case relating to Dacus.
Those dates have not been set.

RE: How many phone lines for a home office?
Dear Webby,
Since most of our business is done over the net or over the
phone, a business consultant told us to dump the downtown 
office and use the commuting time for either the business or
for leisure. There are a number of savings he outlined,
like 
babysitting expenses, fewer phone lines, etc. What is the 
minimum number of phone lines we have to keep ?
Irene

Dear Irene
First, keep the babysitting expenses. How many times have
you hung up on a telemarketer because they left you waiting
while they ran off to stop kids from fighting or setting the

drapes on fire ?

Either take care of the kids, OR the business.
Once kids are a certain age, you can make a deal with them 
that you won't do much murdering and mutilating if they are
perfectly quiet whenever you are on the phone. Until they 
reach that age, it will be much cheaper for your business
and your sanity to pay for babysitting in an area as far as
possible from your soundproof office. 

While this sounds selfish and coldhearted, it is not. As the

bread-winner of the household, it is your responsibility to 
protect your job, no matter where you park your buns. 

If you worked at a bank downtown, you can't bring a herd 
of screaming darlings to work with you either. Having kids 
scream in the background is almost as bad for your business 
as having an AOL or Ho'mail address.

Re phone lines: 
If you have cable VOIP, that is enough.
If you have DSL, one line will be enough.
Without DSL or cable it's a bit trickier.
You might be able to get Emerson Switchboards from Amazon,
but I don't think they are still being made. The popularity
of DSL seems to have put an end to their production.

That means you need one line for dial-up, 
and one line for voice.

There are still a few methods for sharing Dial-Up and Voice,
but I don't know of any, that are good enough to recommend
here. 
Count on needing two lines or getting DSL.
DSL peels off the Internet from the phone line, just like a
TV tuner peels off the cartoon network from all the other
channels on the cable. You can have fast Internet and a
voice number on the same wire, and send faxes out straight
from your computer.

Have FUN!

She replies, "I just love it! It's so small and your voice
is clear as a bell but there's one thing I don't understand

A young man was visiting his brother and sister-in-law and
was surprised to find his young nephew, Timmy, helping them
bake the cupcakes. After they were done, his sister-in-law
allowed Timmy to put the icing on. When he had finished, he
brought them to the table.

"The cupcakes look delicious, Tim." his uncle said.  He took
a bite while looking at the other cupcakes. "Timmy these
are so good."

As he finished one and took another he again complimented
his little nephew. "The cupcakes look beautiful, Tim," his
uncle said. "How did you get them iced so evenly and
smooth?"

And he took a large bite while waiting for the answer.  His 
nephew replied, "I licked them."

Arkansas couple arrested for abusing 4 year old girl

A 4-year-old found beaten and abused said she thought her
name was ‘Idiot,’ according to police

The 4-year-old girl had deep purple bruises, a black eye, a
swollen cheek and a mark on her forehead.

She also had healing scars across her back, dried blood in
the corner of her mouth and ligature marks on her wrist,
authorities said.

When a police officer asked her what her name was, she had a
startling response: “Idiot.”

Her mother’s live-in boyfriend, police said, regularly
called the child “Idiot” instead of using her actual name.
He also zip-tied the girl to her bed as a form of
punishment, according to a police report.

Clarence Reed, 47, and the child’s mother, Jennifer Denen,
30, both of Hot Springs, Ark., are now charged with domestic
battery, permitting abuse of a minor and endangering welfare
of a minor.

Police received a call Friday from the Cooper-Anthony Mercy
Child Advocacy Center, where a staff member told an officer
that a malnourished 4-year-old had been abused in her home.

Reed and Denen, who were at the center when police arrived,
were later arrested.

Denen told police that she had seen her boyfriend strike her
daughter with a plastic bat and said she’d heard Reed
frequently call the child “Idiot.”

She admitted not seeking medical care for her daughter, the
police report said.

Reed told authorities that he hit the child. But instead of
a plastic bat, he told police, he had used a half-inch-thick
wooden paddle, according to the report.

He also admitted zip-tying the child to punish her for
climbing the kitchen cabinets.

And although he said he had called the child “Idiot,” Reed
told police he meant it as a joke.

Cpl. Kirk Zaner, spokesman for the Hot Springs Police
Department, told The Washington Post that a total of six
children lived in the house, all of whom are Denen’s. One,
an 11-month-old, is her only child with Reed.

Zaner said the 4-year-old girl and the 11-month-old are now
in the custody of the Department of Human Services. The four
older siblings are with their biological father.

RE: Need new icons
Dear Webby,
I need to make a bunch of icons for vision impaired people. 
Yes, I know there are tons of icons hidden in Windows and 
where, but I have to make new ones. What program do you
recommend for that?
Calla

Dear Calla 
Any decent paint program will work, and even indecently
crude ones, as long as you can save a file as .BMP

Before you start painting, make a directory and call it
ICONS.

You can take existing pictures as long as they have lots of 
contrast and not too many details. Shrink them to 32 x 32 
pixels and see if they are still usable. Many pictures
become unrecognizable when you do that. You may have to
increase contrast and replace the background. Work on it in
maximum Zoom and check it at normal size until it looks OK.

Save the icons in BMP format into that ICONS directory.
Once you have them all done, close the paint program and
use Windows Explorer and rename the files to .ICO

Note! You can not do that if the files are still open in the
paint program. You HAVE to close them.

After that, just right-click on an icon that you want to
replace, click on Properties, Change Icon, and browse to the
ICONS directory, choose the right icon and doubleclick it
to
select it. Then hit APPLY and OK and the new icon will show
up.

Have FUN!

Fingernails Splitting

I asked my dermatologist, while being checked for skin
cancers, about my soft, splitting and peeling nails. She
said "Its dry nails" and gave me a sample of Elon, which is

plain old lanolin from the pharmacy for $2.00 that works
just as good and is much cheaper. (01/04/2007)

2 South Carolina teens murdered Good Samaritan after he
pulled their stuck SUV from ditch

Two South Carolina teens were arrested on murder charges
Monday after allegedly killing a Good Samaritan who helped
the pair pull their vehicle out of a ditch.

WCSC-TV reported that Deon Frasier, 17, and Michael Dupree-
Taylor, 19, were denied bond Tuesday after they were
arrested at a North Charleston apartment.

According to a North Charleston police affidavit, the two
teens asked the victim, identified as 45-year-old Chadwick
Garrett, to help them pull their 2016 Dodge Durango out of a
ditch. Witnesses told authorities that Garrett agreed to
help the pair with their SUV for $20.

Authorities said that after Garrett helped the pair pull the
vehicle out of the ditch, Garrett asked Frasier and Dupree-
Taylor about the $20 when Frasier took out a gun and
allegedly fired several rounds and struck Garrett in the
chest.

The station, citing the affidavit, reported that Frasier
jumped into the passenger side of the SUV and Dupree-Taylor
was in the driver’s seat as they fled the scene.

Authorities said a female called 911 about 20 minutes after
the shooting about her SUV being used without her
permission. Investigators said the woman accurately
described the vehicle that was used to leave the scene of
the murder and the two suspects who were driving.

According to WCSC-TV, police officers arrived at the
female’s apartment and she told authorities that Frasier and
Dupree-Taylor were inside. Police said there was a brief
standoff, but they surrendered without incident.

Investigators said that Dupree-Taylor had confessed to being
at the scene of the shooting, while the 17 year old Frasier

confessed to being the gunman that shot and killed Garrett,
hoping to be tried as a juvenile.

Dear Webby,
Can you please give me the URL for a site to get rid of

Dell and it came with Win 10  installed.  I think I once
read In one of your newsletters that there is a way to
uninstall 10 and install 7.  Is that possible?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Dear Diana
I think your daughter is out of luck.
You can revert to W7 if you moved from there to W10,
-  if you do it within 30 days.
However, if W10 was installed at the DELL factory in China, 
then there is nothing to revert to.

If she has an old W7 machine, she might be able to
use the Laplink PC-Mover to move the old system 
to the new machine.

Tell her to collect the specs from both machines and 
then contact support at laplink. Their free chat is at
http://www
.laplink.com/index.php/contact or use the link further
down and go to Contact there.
They will tell her if it is possible with those particular 
machines.

Most people just install Classic Shell to get
the Windows 7 or even XP user interface. 
It also adds some features, that w ere forgotten in W10 and 
makes W10 as productive as W7. It is free and works even
with the new W10-A version.

Texas Mom Arrested After Children’s Bodies Found Under 
Neighbor’s House and she admitted murdering them

A Texas community is reeling after police say a Houston
mother admitted to drowning two of her children in a bathtub
and stashing their bodies beneath a neighbor’s home.

Sheborah Thomas, 30, faces two counts of capital murder
after her 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter were found
dead Sunday morning, Houston police said.

The children have been identified as Orayln Thomas, 7, and
Kahana Thomas, 5. (Both children’s names have been spelled
differently in various news reports; police would not
confirm the spellings to The Huffington Post.) Thomas also
has a 12-year-old son who has not been harmed, police told
local media.

Thomas allegedly told police that she killed her two younger
children Friday morning and put their bodies, wrapped in
bedsheets, in a trash can behind her house.

The next day, she allegedly tried to bury them near the side
of her house but was unable to dig a hole deep enough.
Police say she then moved the bodies to an area beneath her
neighbor’s home.

A man who knows Thomas reportedly spotted her throwing trash
in a vacant lot near her home on Sunday. Thomas told the
man
that she was moving, and he offered to help her pack, police
told WFAA.

When the man asked Thomas about her children, she allegedly
replied that she killed them, which the man initially took
for a joke. After he asked again and Thomas gave the same
answer, the man drove her to the police station, where
police say she confessed to authorities.

“She was very matter-of-fact in terms of what she stated she
had done,” Kesc Smith, a spokesperson for the Houston
Police
Department, told WFAA.

Kita Thomas-Smith, who identified herself as the children’s
aunt, said the kids’ father is incarcerated and doesn’t yet
know what happened.

RE: Fonts on FaceBook
Dear Webby,
I have only one eye and some times it gets tired ( like the
rest of us). when I am chatting on Facebook is there a way
to increase the size of the type with out increasing the
whole page , Thanks and keep up the good work  Webbys humor
page is first on my list , every morning 
. .John bolin

Dear John
You can't.
With FaceBookou can only zoom the entire page with CTRL and
scrolling the wheel or CTRL and the + or - on the numerical
keypad.
The + or - option is a bit weak and tends to crash FB pages 
occasionally.
Just use CTRL and the mouse scroll wheel.

Yes, I know, that is rather klutzy, but then so is most of
FaceBook with their nailed down and not detachable
messenger, and their childish name restrictions. Even though
I have been DearWebby for 20 years before Facebook, they
make me use the name the cops call me when they nail me for
speeding.

The solution to the font problem in chat is SKYPE.
Like me, Skype has been around for a long time before
FaceBook, and even a generation ago, was never as primitive
as FB Messenger.

Skype is not stuck on a page like a shit stain on a blanket.
You don't need to be on any page, you don't even need to
have a browser open. You can drag the resizeable Skype
window out of the way, even onto the second monitor, if you
use one for work and the other one for communication,
utilities, lookups, etc.

My dad is in a similar situation as you are. He lost one eye
in the mid 60's when an operation to fix a detached retina
didn't work out, and in the other eye, he is restricted to a
small tunnel. And when he was a teacher and prepared some
wood for the kids to work with, he trimmed the fingers on
his left hand down two knuckles with a table saw. His right
arm is frozen at a right angle since a Russian shot off his
elbow when he was in Finland helping them to hold off the
Russians in WWII. So you can imagine, he does not like
typing very much.

With Skype you can, and always could since Day 1, select
fonts, sizes and colors. So he set the font to #16, Arial,
navy. He can read, click on links, and type if he wants to.

He usually doesn't want to. So he clicks on the video button
and we have a nice video chat at noon my time, 8PM his time.
We do that every day for 5 - 15 minutes, and have done that
for about 16 years. Why not? It is free!

So, do yourself a favor and go to http://skype.com 
and move from steerage to First Class!

With Skype you can set the default receiver folder for
received files. There is no limit. If somebody drags a 4
acre picture of their puppydog or grandkid or a new version
of the bible with enlightened commentary and color
illustrations into your chat window, it will wind up in the
folder you designated as the default receiver location.

You can, of course have a family reunion and text or video
chat with a group of people. Or brainstorm for what to do at
the riverside reunion.

The biggest advantege is that it is not a shit-stain like FB
messenger. You can move it around wherever it is not in the
way, and there is no need to have any specific or ANY web
page open. 

Skype is quite civilized, and always has been. And it is
free!

The only part that costs anything is calling landlines and
cellphones of people, who don't have Skype. That costs you a
Euro penny per minute. Yes, I know, Skype has been bought by
Microsoft for 8.2 Billion dollars to prevent Google from
getting it, but because the  Euro is currently worth more
than the Dollar, they charge a Euro penny per minute.
That is about  1.5 US pennies. 

Still no big deal, and the penny is only for calling
landlines or cell phones anywwhere in the world. To Skype
users it is totally free.

The program is free too. Go for it!

Have FUN!
DearWebby

A couple trying to break into society hosted a dinner party.
As the guests were enjoying their dinner salad, the maid 
called the hostess from the table. The maid informed her 
that the cat had climbed on the kitchen table and eaten a 
large portion of the salmon's midsection.

The hostess decided to quickly drive to the corner store and

get some canned salmon to fill the eaten portion and 
camouflage it with parsley sprigs. 

As the guests were enjoying the fish, the maid called the
hostess into the kitchen again and announced while wringing 
her hands, "Madam, the cat is dead."

The hostess and her husband informed the guests and 
suggested it might be best if everyone went to the hospital 
and had their stomachs pumped.

Returning home, the couple asked the maid where she had 
put the cat. "It is still out on the road where you ran over
it on the way back from the corner store."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Decoupaged Photo on Wood

By Sandy [54 Posts, 44 Comments]

Decoupage is an easy way to place a photo on a wood surface.
Total Time: More than 24 hours

Supplies:
One photo printed on "regular" copy paper. Do NOT use a
photograph printed on anything but copy paper!
wax paper
Martha Stewart Decoupage (There is one for light surfaces
and one for dark surfaces. Choose according to what you are
placing your photo on.)
Rustoleum Ultra Cover Clear Gloss

Steps:
Print out your photo.
Cut photo and lay right side up on wax paper.
Spread decoupage evenly over the surface of the photo.
Turn upside down (decoupage down on wooden surface) If you
use something with a word, take this into consideration!

Wait 24 hours.
Use a sponge and water to wipe off the paper and the photo
will appear.
Spray the clear Rustoeum over the wooden surface.
I would suggest trying this on a scrap piece of wood first.
You will be pleased with the results of even your first
attempt. As you can see, I used a lazy Susan and will be a
welcome gift.



If your local craft store does not
have that or any decoupage glue, you can get it from Amazon.

Keep in mind that pictures will be mirror reversed.
With most paint programs CTRL M mirrors the picture. That
way Aunt Millie's tattoo is readable, Ernie's 7 hairs are
combed from left to right, and your porch did not suddenly
move to the other side of the house.

If you are in a big hurry and can't wait 24 hours, you can
print the picture or sign with a laser printer, iron it on
to transfer the toner, then dissolve and wash away the paper
with warm water. 
When done, dab it dry without rubbing, dry it some more with
a hair dryer, and spray or pour clear sealer on it.

Some people get better results with one method, some with
the other. Try both and see which one works better for you.
Have FUN!

And here is an ancient classic:
A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could
hardly speak. After mass he asked the Monsignor how he had
done. 

The Monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting 
nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the
water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip." 

So next Sunday he took the Monsignors advice.
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a
drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon his return to
his office after mass, he found the following note on the
door:
1.   Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2.   There are 10 Commandments, not 12.
3.   There are 12 Disciples, not 10.
4.   Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5.   Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6.   We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7.   The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as
Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8.   David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of
him.
9.   When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his
donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10.  We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T"
11.  When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said,
    "Take this and eat it for it is my body.
    He did not say "Eat me."
12.  The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry."
13.  The recommended grace before a meal is not:
    Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God.
14.  Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at
St. Peter's, not a Peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

Good Morning, ,

Today is Wednesday, August 17

If you see masked strangers tonight skulking around the
neighborhood with big, bulging (reusable) shopping bags,
don't worry.
This is "Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch
Week" all over north America.

It is fair game to prank the zuchinators.
You can get motion detector dogs with a really loud and
believable bark, or you can use one of those light bulb
socket outlets to screw into your motion detector light,
and plug in an electric irrigation valve that turns on a
garden hose aimed at the midriff of a zuchinator.

Rememeber to turn it off before you exit to go to work in
the morning!

You can also dig out an old cassette recorder that requires
to be plugged in (-not charged up-). 

Cut the tape and glue it together into a loop. Then record
yourself counting until you get an idea how much time you
got per loop.

Then record something like: "You are on candid camera and
live feed goes to my FaceBook page and is recorded at the
police station."

Set the cassette player to play and jam the play button with
a tooth-pick to be permanently on. When the power comes on,
thanks to the motion detector light, the player plays your
recording over and over until the light goes off after the
Zuchinartor has sprinted away.

The electric water valve setup of course works well at
halloween too. If the electric irrigation valves ($8 - $24)
in your area use 24 Volt AC, a thermostat transformer or any
24 Volt transformer will power them nicely. If you have to
connect it to a power cord, the thin wires go to the power
side, the thick wires go towards the valve.

Have FUN!

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Zachary Cheek, 
Melbourne,
Floriduh

Conscientious Melbourne burglar called 911 on himself.

A man suspected of turning up at his ex-girlfriend's home
and holding the occupants at gunpoint while under the
influence, apparently decided to phone police to turn
himself in a short while later, reports show.

Zachary Cheek was charged with armed occupied burglary, use
and display of a firearm during a felony, use of a firearm
under the influence of alcohol and aggravated assault with a
firearm after authorities say he called Melbourne police to
report what he had done at a home in the 700 block of Indian
River Drive late Saturday night. Officers arrived within
moments and took Cheek into custody.

Earlier Saturday, police said Cheek turned up at the home
with a loaded 9 mm handgun and simply walked in.

"Apparently he knew the victims. He just walked into the
home and threatened one of the occupants," said Lt. Steve
Sadoff of the Melbourne Police Department. At some point he
left the home, Sadoff said, "he called the police and turned
himself in."

The weapon was also recovered. Police did not release a
motive for the incident.

Cheek is being held at the Brevard County Jail Complex in
Sharpes.

RE: Fill background with Logos
Dear Webby,
How do I fill a selected area in a drawing with a picture?
I know that sounds confusing, but I want to fill a selected
space with repetitions of the company logo.
Rob

Dear Rob
With Paint Shop Pro that is really easy.
First make a copy of the logo and reduce it to the size that
each of the little repetitions should be. Then use the
selection tool and outline the selection that you want.

Next, open the picture where you want to fill a spot with
the logo. Use the selection tool to outline the to be filled
area. 
Choose the flood-fill bucket, the paintbrush, or the line
tool,
click on the little arrow and select Pattern. 
Rightclick that and select the pattern you want. Your just
selected logo portion will be in the top row. Select that.

Now use that tool in the outlined area in the drawing.
Flood-
fill is good for walls and other large areas.

If you want to make an arrow filled with the logo, then
don't outline the arrow. Use the line tool and select an
arrow for the line style. Set the line width to about right
and try it. If the arrow is too thin, hit CTRL Z to undo,
widen the line and try again.

A road map showing the way to your place is a good example.
Get a road map picture from a map or from mapquest.com,
enlarge it, then select the line, for example arrow at end, 
mode point-to-point, then simply click the intersections
from 
the airport to your place. When you get to your place, hit
CTRL Q to quit inputting points, and the wire-frame line 
changes to a colorful snake with your logo as the skin. 

Have FUN!

Rhubarbecue Sauce

By sooz [83 Posts, 71 Comments]
I love this sauce. It can be used with pork, chicken,
spareribs, meatloaf, stews, hamburgers - anywhere you would
use ketchup or barbecue sauce. It will keep in an airtight
container in the refrigerator for about one week and will
keep in the freezer for up to one month. Once you try it
though, I'd be surprised if it lasts that long.
Ingredients:

2 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
Directions:

In a large saucepan, bring all ingredients to a boil. Reduce
heat and simmer, stirring often, until rhubarb is tender,
about 20 minutes. Transfer to blender or food processor;
puree until smooth. Let cool.
Rhubarbecued Pork or Chicken
Ingredients:
4 thick (1/2") pork loin center-cut chops (1 1/2 pounds) or
2 pounds skinless chicken pieces
1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
rhubarbecue sauce
vegetable oil
Directions:

Sprinkle pork or chicken with salt and pepper. Barbecue or
roast as directed below or until juices run clear when pork
or chicken is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside
pork. To Barbecue: Place on greased grill over medium heat;
close lid and grill, turning once, for about 10 minutes for
pork or 35 minutes for chicken. Mix 1/2 cup rhubarbecue
sauce with 2 teaspoons oil; brush over pork or chicken
during last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking.
To Oven Barbecue: In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1
tablespoon oil over medium-high heat; brown pork or chicken,
in batches if necessary. Drain off any fat. Mix 1 cup
rhubarbecue sauce with 1/2 cup water; pour over pork or
chicken. Bake in 375 degree F oven for 20 minutes for pork
or 35 minutes for chicken.

streets for 15 minutes before realising he had got into the 
wrong car.

The 50-year-old, from Zagreb, got into what he thought was 
"his" Volkswagen Golf at a car park outside his work.

He had driven miles before he realised some of the familiar 
interior details of his car were missing.

He drove back to the car park where he was confronted 
by police and the angry "owner" of the car he was driving.

Police later confirmed that the man had been able to open 
the car and start the engine because the locks on the 
driver's door and ignition were broken, just like on "his".

The man, who has not been named, claimed he was 
thinking so much about his work that he failed to notice 
he was getting into someone else's car.

Chances are very high that both Volkswagens actually 
belong to people in neighboring countries. In Croatia 
that is normal.

Swampy Marsh, the young Australian father-to-be, is waiting
anxiously outside the maternity ward where his wife is
having their first baby. He is pacing the floor when the
nurse comes out and says, "You have a little boy, Mr. Marsh,
but you had better go out and have a cup of coffee, because
there may be another one."

Swampy turns a little pale and leaves.

Some time later he phones the hospital and is told that he
the father of twins, but the nurse cautions, "There is
another on the way, so call back later."

At that Swampy decides that coffee is not strong enough, so
he goes to a bar and has some beer. When he phones the
hospital again he is told that the third baby has arrived
and a fourth is on the way. White-faced, he stumbles to the
bar and orders a double scotch.

Twenty minutes later, he tries to phone again, but he is so
drunk that he dials the wrong number and gets the recorded
cricket game score. When they pick him up off the floor the
recording is still going strong:
"The score is ninety-six all out," says the voice, "and the
last one was a duck."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Melonease Shaw, 
62,
Philadelphia,
PA

Philly lobbyist misused welfare grants to pay for line
dancing lessons, political contributions, $250,000 
worth of other "expenses"

Health club memberships, political contributions, and $3,000
line-dancing lessons are among the expenses that a well-
connected Philadelphia lobbyist is accused of illegally
charging to a state grant program meant to help welfare
recipients land steady jobs.

Now, Melonease Shaw - who has at times worked as the city's
lobbyist in Harrisburg, and who was, until her arrest,
seeking the job again - faces a court hearing next week on
charges including theft, deceptive business practices, and
tampering with public records.

The case, filed last month by the Attorney General's Office
in district court in Harrisburg, centers on Shaw's work as
president and CEO of the now-defunct nonprofit Transitional
Work Corp.

The organization was founded in 1998 by the state, the city,
and the Pew Charitable Trusts to provide job training and
transitional employment to welfare recipients working their
way off public assistance. Between 2007 and 2011, the year
it shut down, it received $32 million in Department of
Public Welfare grants.

Prosecutors say Shaw, 62, misused more than $250,000 during
that period to purchase items not allowed under the grant.

Neither Shaw nor her lawyer returned calls for comment
Monday.

Shaw has long been a fixture in city Democratic circles.
Since 2007, she has contributed more than $40,000 to party
candidates for city and state offices, and counted State
Rep. Dwight Evans (D., Phila.) and the late School
Superintendent Arlene C. Ackerman as friends.

She has served on transition teams and government committees
for Gov. Wolf and former Gov. Ed Rendell.

Her lobbying and marketing firm, Maven Inc., has counted
SEPTA, Peco Energy, the School District, and SugarHouse
Gaming among its clients, and has received hundreds of
thousands of dollars in state and city money over the years,
including $86,667 in lobbying contracts from the city in
2010 and 2011.

The criminal case filed against her last month had gone
widely unnoticed outside Harrisburg.

RE: FFA Ads
Dear Webby,
In this business seminar I am attending, a lecturer 
recommended that we should take advantage of the Free For 
All classified ads sites on the web and submit to them to
get more traffic. I vaguely remember you mentioning a few
years ago to stay away from those. Has that changed ?
Alyssa

Dear Alyssa
Get your money back and don't go back to those morons, 
EVER. Its people like that who are giving dope a bad name!

Submitting to the FFA classifieds is one of the the most
stupid things one could possibly do. Nobody ever looks at
them, except the spammers who set them up to harvest the 
addresses of the dummies. They know that anybody, who is
THAT dense, will probably buy gas line magnets, instant
mortgages and all kinds of nonsense.

If you do submit, use your mother-in-law's email address,
because the addres you use on FFA classifieds goes straight 
onto all the spammer CD's.

Best is to stay away as far as you can from FFA classifieds,
and from anybody who recommends them.

Have FUN!

Playing golf with his buddies, my grandfather had to make a
slick 45-foot, downhill putt.  As he lined it up, he
announced,
"I have a dollar bill that says I can make this putt.  Does
anyone want to bet?"

His three friends eagerly agreed to the wager.  My
grandfather missed the putt by ten feet, and his friends
gathered around to collect their money.  Granddad pulled out
a dollar bill on which he had printed, "I can make this
putt."  

His pals are still trying to collect on the bet; my

Soft Scrub for Clean White Shoes

By audrey5682.844 [17 Posts]
To keep your shoes white and clean use Soft Scrub bleach and
an old towel to clean the white parts on the shoe. White
rubber can get dirty really fast so you could do this as
many times as you want, but make sure to clean all the dirt
out of the cracks first so you don't get mud everywhere.

Woman Punches Man over Movie Chatter Comment

An Indiana woman is facing a battery charge after allegedly
slugging a fellow moviegoer in the face after he complained
about her talking through the entirety of a showing of
“Suicide Squad.”

According to police, LaQuintae Taborn, 34, and William Mason
were exiting a theater in Portage early Sunday morning when
the confrontation occurred. Cops say that Mason told Taborn,
“I just wanted to thank you for talking through the entire
movie and ruining it for everyone.”

Taborn, a Gary resident, responded by first shoving Mason
and then punching him twice in the face, police allege.
Mason, whose glasses were knocked off, declined medical
assistance and told cops that he did not wish to press
charges.

A probable cause affidavit notes that Mason suffered “pain,
swelling, and watering of the eye.”

During police questioning, Taborn reportedly said that she
pushed the man when he got close to her. As for the punches,
Taborn explained that she hit the man in anticipation of him
retaliating for her pushing him.

Police arrested Taborn on a misdemeanor battery charge and
booked her into the county jail (where the above mug shot
was snapped).

Taborn was released from custody yesterday after posting
$800 bond. She is scheduled for an initial hearing tomorrow
in Porter County Superior Court.

There's this cathedral that's still being worked on,
and the workers have rigged a "cage elevator" inside
so they can get material up and down to the upper
floors.

A characteristic of these 'cage elevators' is that the
doors (gate) must be closed manually for them to be
'called' to another floor.

One day one of the workers, Peter by name, takes
the elevator to the top floor, and it is subsequently
needed on the first floor by the sexton.

Unfortunately, Peter forgot and left the door open.

After the sexton rings for the elevator a couple times,
to no avail, he yells up for the worker to send the lift
back down.

Visitors to the cathedral were treated to this sight:

The sexton of the cathedral, head tipped up, yelling
to the heavens: "Peter! CLOSE THE GATES!!!"

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Quick and Easy Crepes for Kids

By Judy = Oklahoma [60 Posts, 750 Comments]
When I was a Cub Scout leader, we made these often. They
were such a big hit, that most of the boys asked for the
recipe so they could make them at home, and my own boys did
too. They are versatile and fun to make. It's good
coordination practice for little ones, who are thrilled to
be able to make their own snack or dessert, and it keeps
them busy for a while! The adults like them too! We still
like to make them even now that my boys are older.

The base is pre-made crepes that I usually find in the
fruit/vegetable section of the store. The kids also like
burrito-size tortillas. Sit the kids around the table with a
crepe on a paper plate or sheet of wax paper. On the table,
set out some bowls with pre-cut bite-size fruit such as
bananas and strawberries, or whatever you like. Each kid
gets an open container of pre-made individual pudding and a
plastic spoon.

Show them how to spoon the pudding into the center of the
crepe/tortilla and spread it out a little, (as if they were
making a burrito) without touching the sides. Remember you
are going to be adding fruit, so they don't want to use the
whole container of pudding or it will be an oozy mess (which
some kids like). You can actually split one container of
pudding between 2 kids, but I found they'd rather eat what
doesn't go in the crepe or make a second one!

Once the pudding is spread (and fingers are licked), let the
kids choose their fillings from the prepared fruit. They
will lay this over the pudding, be careful they don't put
too much or it won't fold. Now, show them how to fold and
roll this like a burrito - then let them eat their
creations! YUM!

Note: Room temperature crepes are easier to fold than
tortillas, which tend to split. They will all split and leak
if over-filled, but kids don't seem to mind the mess!
Fillings are very versatile. Chocolate or vanilla pudding
with sliced bananas and/or strawberries are the biggest hit,
especially with picky eaters. The only limit is your
imagination, what you are willing to eat, and how healthy
you want it to be. Other fillings can include chocolate
chips, nuts, coconut, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, etc. 

A decadent, delicious version is a crepe layered with
vanilla pudding, sliced strawberries and bananas, nuts, and
chocolate syrup with a spoonful of whipped cream to dip the
crepe into - banana split crepe!

If you don't know how to roll a crepe/burrito, here are some
instructions. This one shows to leave one end open,which
works with this dessert. But you can also fold over both
ends before you roll, if you are going to make ahead and
don't want the filling to fall out:

Two Naked Women Out For An Evening Swim Busted 
After One Kicked Cop In The Groin

These South Carolina women are facing indecent exposure
charges after a late-night skinny dipping session went
sideways, police report.

Responding to an 11 PM noise complaint Monday, cops found
Naumann, 23, and Cole, 32, “completely nude” at the swimming
pool of an apartment complex near Myrtle Beach.

The women, guests of a resident, “did not have bathing suits
with them so they decided to swim in the nude,” according
to a Horry County Police Department report. The duo and 
two friends, police noted, appeared “highly intoxicated.”

As cops sought to do a warrants check on the quartet,
Naumann (seen above, at left) and Cole began to walk away,
ignoring a police demand to remain in place. Naumann then
became belligerent and allegedly delivered a “mule kick” to
a male cop’s genitals.

Both women were then arrested for indecent exposure, a
misdemeanor. Naumann was also charged with assaulting a
police officer. Naumann and Cole were released from jail
Tuesday afternoon upon posting bond ($5000 for Naumann,
$2500 for Cole).

Natural Mosquito Repellent with Limes and Cloves

By Robyn [392 Posts, 776 Comments]

Slice a lime in half and press many cloves all around and on
the lime half. When you scatter these around where you are
going to eat outside, then it will keep the mosquitoes away.
This is also supposed to be useful when put near windows
and
doors in repelling most pests.
I found this on facebook when one of my friends posted it
and put it on my page.
We hit them on their head just over
the right eye with a baseball bat or roling pin. That gives
them a headache and they don't come back.

A lady is having a bad day at the roulette tables in Las
Vegas.
She's down to her last $50.  Exasperated, she exclaims, 
"What rotten luck!  What in the world should I do now?"

A man standing next to her, trying to calm her down,
suggests, 
"I   don't know...  Why don't you play your age?"

He walks away.  Moments later, his attention is grabbed by 
a great commotion at the roulette table.  Maybe, she won!  

He rushes back to the table and pushes his way through the 
crowd.  The lady is lying limp on the floor, with the table 
operator kneeling over her.

The man is stunned.  He asks, "What happened?  Is she 
all right?"

The operator replies, "I don't know.  
She put all her money on 29.
Then when 36 came up, she just fainted!"

Mrs. Hunter was called to serve for jury duty, but asked to
be excused because she didn't believe in capital punishment
and didn't want her personal thoughts to prevent the trial
from running its proper course.

But the public defender liked her thoughtfulness and quiet
calm, and tried to convince her that she was appropriate to
serve on the jury.

"Madam," he explained, "this is not a murder trial! It's a
simple civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against
her husband because he gambled away the $12,000 he had
promised to use to remodel the kitchen for her birthday."

"Well, okay," agreed Mrs. Hunter, "I'll serve. I guess I
could be wrong about capital punishment after all."

But one day he said sadly, "Laura, honey, we have to stop

suspicious."

"No way, sweetie, he's dumb as a post," she assured him.
"Besides, we've been messing around for six months now

Thanks to Connie for this joke: 
Betty-Sue went to an eye doctor to have her eyes checked 
for glasses. The doctor directed her to read various letters
with the left eye while covering the right eye. 

Betty-Sue was so mixed up on which eye was which, that the 
eye doctor in disgust took a paper sack with a hole to see 
through, covered up the appropriate eye and asked her to 
read the letters. 

When he turned the paper sack to the other eye, he noticed 
that Betty-Sue had tears streaming down her face. 

"Look," said the doctor, "there's no need to get emotional
about getting glasses. Lots of people wear glasses. I do
too!" 

"I know," agreed Betty-Sue, "But I kind of had my heart set 
on wire frames, not paper."

Name seven advantages of mother's milk. 
 
The student in question had also partied the night before,
and was hard 
put to think of 7 advantages. He wrote: 
 
1. It is a perfect formula for the child. 
2. It provides immunity against several diseases. 
3. It is always available as needed. 
4. It is always at the right temperature 
5. It is inexpensive. 
6. It bonds the child to the mother, and vice versa. 
 
And then, the student was stuck. Finally, just before the
bell rang 
indicating the end of the test was over, he wrote: 
 
7. It comes in cute and handy containers. 
 
He was the only student to ace (100%) the exam

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Emma Wiley, 
19,
Salem,
Massachusetts

Woman, 19, Bit Off Female Cop's Ear Following 
Brawl Outside Massachusetts Bar

The 19-year-old collegian allegedly bit off the ear of a
female cop who was trying to get her into a police cruiser
following a brawl early Sunday outside a Massachusetts bar.

According to a Salem Police Department report, officers
responding to a 911 call about a fight in progress, found
Wiley tangling with another woman as a crowd of more than
100 people milled about.

Wiley, cops noted, had a fist full of the other combatant’s
hair and was trying to throw her foe to the ground. Pictured
above from her FB page, Wiley was also “screaming and
screechuing totally out of control.”

After officers separated the pair and began escorting Wiley
to a squad car, the teenager --who studies criminal justice
at Salem State University-- yelled, “I’ll fucking kill you
all. Don’t fucking touch me!”

As police struggled to get Wiley inside a cruiser, she
lunged at the face of Officer Jessica Rondinelli, a rookie
cop who has been on the job barely a month. Wiley, cops
charge, “grabbed a hold of Officer Rondinelli’s right ear in
her teeth and refused to let go.”  Rondinelli yelled, "She
has my ear!"

Wiley released her bite when Rondinelli, 27, gouged her in
the eye in the way you defend yourself against alligators.
“She bit my ear off,” Rondinelli told fellow officers. The
cop’s right ear was bleeding and had a “jagged chunk missing
from the top of it,” according to the report.

As Rondinelli was rushed to a local hospital, Wiley
threatened to have “every one of us cops killed,” an
investigator noted.

Officers subsequently found a piece of Rondinelli’s ear in
the rear compartment of the car used to transport Wiley to
the Salem police station. An officer “quickly put the piece
in a plastic bag” and brought it to the hospital where
Rondinelli was being treated. But Rondinelli was informed by
a doctor that, “due to the risk of infection, the nature in
which her ear had been disfigured, it was unlikely that
attaching a bitten off piece was possible and her ear was
going to be permanently marred.”

Wiley, a Marblehead resident, was charged with an assortment
of crimes, including mayhem, aggravated assault, assault and
battery on a police officer, and making threats to kill.

The teenager yesterday pleaded not guilty to the charges and
was ordered held without bail by a District Court judge. In
arguing for Wiley’s detention, a prosecutor stated that
Rondinelli had been “forever maimed” by the defendant.

In addition, MacKenzie noted that Wiley had a long history
of interactions with police in Marblehead, where is from,
though thanks to good lawyers, she has no prior criminal
charges. 

Mark Barry, Wiley's attorney, said that she is a sophomore
at Salem State University and that she suffers from
depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder, for
which she takes medications, The Salem News reported. 
'This is a 19-year-old woman who was over-served at a bar,'
Barry told the judge. 'It's the bar's fault.'

Outside of court, Barry said that his client was using a
fake Rhode Island license to be admitted into the bar where
she was served five or six mixed drinks. The report does not
state how drunk she was when she got to the bar.

Wiley will remain in police custody for a minimum of 120
days and has a probable cause hearing scheduled for August
30.

Plant Matchsticks with Peppers

Thanks to Steph for this one:
Several years ago, I returned home from a trip just when a 
storm hit with crashing thunder and severe lightning. As I
came into my bedroom about 2 a.m., I found my two children
in bed with my wife, apparently scared by the loud storm. 

I resigned myself to sleep in the guest bedroom that night. 

The next day,I talked to the children, and explained that it

was O.K. to sleep with Mom when the storm was bad, but 
when I was expected home, please don't sleep with Mom
that night. 

They said OK. After my next trip several weeks later, my 
wife and the children picked me up in the terminal at the 
appointed time. Since the plane was late, there were 
hundreds of other folks waiting for their arriving
passengers. 

As I entered the waiting area, my son saw me, and came
running shouting, "Hi,Dad! I've got some good news!" 

As I waved back, I said loudly,

"What's the good news?" 

"Nobody slept with Mommy while you were away this time!" 
Alex shouted. 

The airport became very quiet.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD

Shirley Chrissy Urick, 
34,
Victorville,
California

34 Year Old Victorville Woman Convicted for 
Scamming 78 Year Old Man

A conviction was obtained for a Victorville woman who
swindled $200,000 from an elderly man in 2013. Shirley
Chrissy Urick, 34, met the victim, a 78-year-old man, in a
grocery store parking lot in the summer of 2013. She
befriended him and told him her name was Gina Lee. With a
series of clever lies, she convinced him she was in urgent
need of money and would pay him back. This led to 16 months
of "loans" from the victim to Urick. The victim even paid
some of her living expenses. Urick was arrested in January,
2016. Deputy District Attorney Elena Abramson of the Elder
Abuse Section prosecuted the case. Urick may receive up to
eight years in state prison when she is sentenced on August
23. A 34-year-old woman was found guilty Tuesday of stealing
more than $200,000 from an elderly man in a sweetheart
scam, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office
announced.

Shirley Chrissy Urick, of Victorville, was convicted of
three counts of theft from an elder, and jurors also found
two excessive loss allegations to be true as well. Deputy
District Attorney Elena Abramson of the Elder Abuse Section
prosecuted the case. In July 2013, Urick met the 78-year-old
victim in a grocery store parking lot and befriended him.
Using the fake name "Gina Lee," Urick told him a series of
lies, saying she needed money and would pay him back. Over
the next 16 months, the victim loaned Urick tens of
thousands of dollars and also paid for some of her living
expenses. After an investigation by the Los Angeles Police
Department's Topanga Division, Urick was arrested in
January. Urick is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 25 and
faces up to eight years in state prison.

Judy hurries into the emergency room late one night with the
tip of her index finger shot off. 

"How did this happen?" the emergency room doctor asked her. 
"Well, I was trying to commit suicide," Judy replied. 

"What?" sputtered the doctor. "You tried to commit suicide
by shooting your finger off?" 

"No, Silly!" Judy said. "First I put the gun to my chest,
and I thought: I just paid $3,000.00 for these breast
implants, I'm not shooting myself in the chest." 

"So then?" asked the doctor. 

"Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought: I just paid 
$3000.00 to get my teeth straightened, I'm not shooting
myself in the mouth." 

"So then?" 

"Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: This is going
to make a loud noise. So I put my finger in the other ear
before I pulled the trigger."

"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL

"Yes, they help me sleep at night."   
  
"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in
these that  could possibly help you sleep!"   
   
She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee. 

"Yes, dear, I know that.  But every morning, I grind one up
and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old
granddaughter drinks... 
And believe me, it helps me sleep at night!"

A minister, on Sunday morning, was preaching with a small

that allowed him to move around. 

During the course of his sermon, he would go in circles and
walk all around the pulpit area. As he moved around, he was 
continuously jerking on the power cord to lengthen it or 
straighten it out. 

After a while, one little boy who had been watching the 
minister very closely, turned and whispered to his mother, 
"If he gets loose, who is going to catch him?"

Ohio man jailed after raping 3-year old girl

A man is in jail after a woman saw him raping a 3-year-old
in a garage and intervened to stop him, WSYX reports.

Charles Sadler, 34, was arrested last Friday on multiple
sexual assault charges after police say he raped a girl he
was babysitting.

According to police, a woman was driving when she saw Sadler
raping the child in an abandoned garage on the west side of
Columbus.

The witness called 911 and followed him for several blocks
until police were able to catch up and arrest Sadler.
Emergency personnel took the child to the hospital.

The suspect’s family, who was home at the time of the
alleged incident, told WSYX they thought Sadler was “passed
out drunk somewhere.” They also said they are “grateful” the
Good Samaritan called 911.

Sadler is in the Franklin County Jail in lieu of a $200,000
bond.

RE: Mouse driver
Dear Webby,
I got a pop-up that claimed my mouse driver was out of date
and needed updating. Thanks to your preaching I was
suspicious about that, and did not click on it. I got out of
that with ALT-F4 and rebooted. What is the story, and what
should I do about it?
Sona

Dear Sona
Good that you did not click on that! That pop-up carries a
very wicked trojan.

Either the site you were browsing or our computer is
infected. 
Run Spybot-Search&Destroy and a reputable anti-malware
program like Malwarebytes.

If they don't find anything, then the attack was from the
site you were on. Some sites are cluttered with ads, hoping
you would be impatient and a bit careless as you hurry on
trying to get past some silly ad, and that you would click
on an ad about driver updates or stuff like that. 

Try to avoid that site or if you have to go there, be very
careful and precise with your mouse.

Have FUN!

An airline captain was breaking in a very pretty new
stewardess. The route they were flying had a stay-over in
another city. Upon their arrival the captain showed the
stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop
and stay overnight.

The next morning as the pilot was preparing the crew for
the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing.
He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her
up wondering what happened to her.

She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get
out of her room.

"You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, 
"Why not?"

The stewardess replied, "There are only three doors in
here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, 
and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"

Removing Diesel Smell on Dog's Paws

By Linda [1 Post, 82 Comments]
Use original liquid Dawn dish detergent. Mix with water,
then rinse. Repeat until removed.
I place clothing items in the washer, usually with "cold"
water and let it soak. Sometimes my husbands work clothes
get any of the fuel, diesel, kerosene spilled on them. I
prefer to soak overnight, then empty the tub and just wash
normally. Seems to be working fine for me. I started doing
this cause I remembered the oil spills being cleaned up with
Dawn.

Everybody's heard of the Air Force's ultra-high-security,
super-secret base in Nevada, known simply as "Area 51?"

Late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at Area 51 were
very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their "secret"
base. They immediately impounded the aircraft and hauled the
pilot into an interrogation room.

The pilot's story was that he took off from Vegas, got lost,
and spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of
fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check on
the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation.

By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot
really was lost and wasn't a spy.  They gassed up his air-
plane, gave him a terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base"
briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his
life in prison, told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-
such a heading, and sent him on his way.

The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the
same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the MP's 
surrounded the plane...only this time there were two 
people inside.

The same pilot jumped out and said, "Do anything you want to
me, but my wife is in the plane and she demands that you
tell her where I was last night!"

-------------
They are a lot less uptight about Area 51 nowadays.
If you want to go there, take I-15 North from Las Vegas,
take a left onto Extraterrestrial Highway (#93), and take
Road 51 left of that. When you see the long air strip, you
are getting close to the gate and probably are on candid
camera. As long as you don't go past the gate, they don't
hassle you.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Kempton A. Bonds, 
19,
Clifton, 
Maryland

Teen stabbed caterer to death in Va. park

Fairfax County Police charged a 19-year-old with the murder
of a chef who was catering a wedding at the Ellanor C.
Lawrence Park Saturday night.

Kempton A. Bonds, 19, of Clifton, Maryland, is now facing
second-degree murder.

At approximately 10:50 p.m., police say Bonds had an
argument with 35-year-old Tyonne D. Johns, a self-employed
chef.

A police spokesperson tells WUSA9 the first argument started
over noise but calmed down. Then an argument started again,
this time over chairs. Only this time around, things
escalated. Bonds stabbed the 35-year-old chef multiple times
in the torso with a knife, according to police.

Medical staff pronounced the 35-year-old dead at a nearby
hospital. Police recovered the knife on scene but did not
say what type or where it came from.

“Too much wickedness in the world today. We need love. Let's
just love one another, 'cause that's the only way we're
going to keep her alive. It's the love,” said Seymone Spence
crying. Spence tells WUSA9 she and her partner were there
Saturday and described the victim as one of her best
friends.

Spence tells WUSA9 Bonds seemed wound-up and believes this
could have been a crime motived by hate.


Tyonne D. Johns

“He had no respect for us. The way he talked to us, the way
he tried to dictate everything around us was just wrong,”
she told WUSA9. Spence and her partner prayed and cried with
friends at the church Johns also attended, the Empowerment
Liberation Cathedral. It’s an inclusive church located in
Silver Spring, MD.

"Always there to hug you, love you and it's just going to be
very difficult 'cause we're so used to seeing her on
Sunday,” said a Deacon of the church, Manuel Lawery-Perez.

The church’s Bishop also knew the victim well. She tells
WUSA9 Johns had turned to her and the church family as she
was turning her life around to become a professional chef.

"Very passionate about her business trying to make sure that
she was making a difference,” said Bishop Allyson Abrams.

Police are looking into whether the 19-year-old suspect had
any trouble on the job. Police are asking witnesses to come
forward. Officials believe a pocket knife possibly on the
suspect's body was used. 

A police spokesperson says Bonds had been working as a
seasonal Facility Attendant with Fairfax County Parks
Authority for a little over a year, since July 2015.

The friends Bonds was supposed to room with in college this
semester, attended a Sunday news conference. They used the
word ‘frustrated’ after in an interview with reporters. "I
feel like this extremely out of character for him. As of
right now though, I feel not inclined to jump to any sort of
conclusions right now,” said one of those friends.

“Chairs took my friends life. She ordered chairs and was
just trying to get them back on the truck and he thought she
was taking his chairs,” Spence cried out, angry and upset
there is not a First Degree Murder charge.

Bonds is currently being held without bond on the Second
Degree Murder charge. The Parks Authority terminated him
immediately after the incident.

RE: Clicking on public service ads
Dear Webby,
Could you explain how clicking on an advertiser's website
pays for whomever carries it?  I click every day on the 4

and hope it's really doing good wherever I go.  Thanks!
Bonnie in Candia, NH

Dear Bonnie
When you click on the Mammogram link or feed the pets or
meal for a homeless vet, you go to a site with another click
invitation. 
It does not cost you anything, and nobody tracks you.

Those sites have all kinds of ads. The advertisers pay those
sites a bit for the ad exposure, and if you buy something,
they get a few bucks. Altogether, their efforts and your
click work out to a meal for a homeless vet, or feeding a
shelter animal, or contributing towards a mammogram for a
woman, who can't afford one.

By just clicking and gawking a bit at the ads there, you can
actually feed somebody or help someone!

The ad there about "Bonnie, Please Feed Dear Webby!"
works differently. That started as a  joke suggested by a
subscriber. You can use that link, though, to click me a
dollar or two via PayPal if you have more money in your
PayPal account than you think you should have.

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas
just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked
quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of
the service station. Finally, the attendant motioned him
toward a vacant pump.

"Reverend," said the young man, "sorry about the delay. It 
seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get
ready for a long trip." 

The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same
in my racket."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Joshua Ryan Williams, 
26,
Gainesville, 
Florida

Florida Bonehead arrested for trading dope for 
pictures and sex with 14 year old girl.

Since April, a 26-year-old Gainesville man has been swapping
marijuana for nude pictures and videos of a teenage girl in
Florahome, according to an arrest report.

Joshua Ryan Williams, of 4143 NW Seventh St., began texting
and calling the girl, then 14, asking her to send him images
of her nude, the Gainesville Police report said. In
exchange, he would drive to her Putnam County home and give
her marijuana.

On several occasions when Williams went to see the girl, the
report said, he had her perform a sex act on him. He told
police that he knew the girl was a teenager.

Williams was arrested Thursday on five felony charges
involving child pornography, cruelty toward a child and
drugs. He was being held Friday in the Alachua County jail
on $425,000 bond.

Subject: Socrates 

Keep this in mind the next time you either hear or are about
to 
repeat a rumor!   
In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was well known 
for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an 
acquaintance who said excitedly: 
"Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your 
students?" 

Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before telling me
anything I'd like you to pass a little test.  It's called
the Triple Filter Test. 

"Triple filter?" 

"That's right," Socrates continued "Before you talk to me
about my student, it might be a good idea to take a moment
and filter what you're going to say.

The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure
that what you are about to tell me is true?" 

No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and ..." 

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if
it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the
filter of Goodness.   
Is what you are about to tell me about my student something 
good?" 

"No, on the contrary ..." .

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad
about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still
pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the
filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my
student going to be useful to me?" 

"No, not really." 

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is
neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at
all?"

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held
in such high esteem. 

It also explains why he never found out that Plato was
messing with his wife.

taken his temperature; she replied that she hadn't but 
would and then call back.

When she hadn't called within a half hour, the doctor 
called and asked her what had happened. She said, 
"Well, I didn't have a thermometer, so I put a

so I gave him a pint of beer and he went off to work!"

Charlott stormed into the eye surgeon's office and went 
up to the desk.
"Someone stole my wig while I was having surgery yesterday,"
she complained.

The doctor came out and tried to calm her down.  
"I assure you that no one on my staff would have done such 
a thing," he said.  "Why do you think it was taken here?"

"After the operation, I noticed the wig I was wearing was 
cheap-looking and ugly."

"I think," explained the surgeon gently, "that means your 
cataract operation was a success."

Annie has been sending resumes to just about any company
in the area, whether they were looking for people or not.

She went the e-mail route for awhile.  Sending electronic
cover letters and attaching her resume to each one.  But
after three months the poor girl was dismayed and confused
that she had not received even ONE request for an interview.

She finally broke down and called one of the prospective
employers she'd sent a resume to.  He explained the
problem.

"Annie, the problem was that your resume wasn't attached
as indicated.  I do want to thank you, though, for the great
lasagna recipe."

--------------------
That's actually a failry old joke.

However, sending resumes as an attachment is a dumb move. 
It's too risky to open an attachment, especially if it is a 
WORD doc and may be full of macros.
That goes straight into the trash, unread, right from
MailWasher. 
Depending on my mood, I might even bounce it back at the
sender.

The only resumes I look at are those that come in a very 
short email with a brief summary and a link to a detailed 
resume on a web page.

While there is a dire shortage of people to work on
construction or in the trades, there is a huge surplus of
people who want to work on the web or in an office. If you
don't make it easy to get hired, you won't be hired.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Derek Foreman
30,
Largo, 
Florida.

Florida Bonehead, 30, arrested after he head-butted 
mother in face because she brought home chick-fil-a for
dinner.

Foreman, 30, is nursing a boo-boo he got late Thursday 
after allegedly head-butting his mother in the face 
during a confrontation in their residence at the Oak Crest
Manufactured Home Community in Largo, Florida.

The reason for Foreman’s battering of his 55-year-old
parent?

“Def. and Victim had a verbal disagreement because the
victim brought home Chick-fil-A and the Def. did not want to
eat Chick-fil-A,” a criminal complaint notes.

Faced with the fast food grub, Foreman “became upset” and
head-butted his mother, causing her bottom lip to split,
investigators allege. Foreman was arrested for domestic
battery, a misdemeanor, and booked into the county jail.

After a court hearing Friday, Foreman was released from
custody and directed to have no contact with his mother. A
judge also ordered Foreman to be outfitted with a device
that monitors his alcohol intake.

The report did not state whether Foreman got his nose broken
from head-butting his mother's rolling pin or a cop's
baton.

Couldn't believe you forgot to mention F5 - refresh - 
I use it all the time.
Ginger

Dear Ginger
You are right! F5 is for Refresh
and 
F2 is to Edit

Here again are the ones from yesterday:

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

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

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

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

After living in the remote wilderness of Texas all his life,
Sam decided it was time to visit the big city. In one of 
the stores he picks up a mirror and looks in it.

Not knowing what it was, he remarked, "How 'bout that! 
Here's a picture of my daddy."

He bought the 'picture', but on the way home he 
remembered that Betty-Sue, his wife, didn't like his father.

So he hung it in the barn, and every morning before leaving 
for the fields, he would go there and look at it.

Betty-Sue began to get suspicious of these many trips to
the barn.

One day after Sam left, she searched the barn and found 
the mirror. As she looked into the glass, Betty-Sue fumed, 
"So that's the ugly hussy he's runnin' around with! Just
wait till he gets back from the fields!"

At the next table at the restaurant today I overheard a
young woman who was talking with an older woman, apparently
her mother. "I haven't slept in three days," she complained.

"The baby is teething and he's up all night crying."

"Why don't you just wet a finger with some brandy or a sweet
liqeur and rub it on his gums. That will numb them up and
put him right to sleep." answered mom.

"I can't give the baby alcohol! Lord knows what that will do
to him."

"Well, it never hurt you any."

The look on her face was priceless.

some door repairs. 

I spent hours doing a perfect job, but when the owner

"What's wrong?" I asked. 

Pointing to the side of the car, he complained about the 
paint not matching, uneven gaps between panels, and a 
host of other nitpicking little problems. He demanded an 
explanation and that it be re-done.

"The repairs were to the other side," I noted. "You 
smashed in the passenger side, not the driver side. 
This side I only washed."

Morris, the Governor's most trusted assistant, died in his
sleep one night. The Governor had depended on Morris for
advice on every subject, from pending bills to wardrobe
decisions. In addition, Morris had been his closest friend.

So, it was understandable that the Governor didn't take
kindly to the droves of ambitious office seekers who
wanted Morris' job. "They don't even have the decency to
wait until the man is buried," the Governor muttered.

At the funeral, one eager beaver made his way to the
Governor's side. "Governor," the man said, "is there
a chance that I could take Morris' place?"

"Certainly," the governor replied. "But you'd better
hurry. I think the undertaker is almost finished!!!"

A 17-month-old girl was brought to a Spartanburg, SC,
hospital Sunday suffering from seizures; she died
Wednesday—and authorities say the baby’s mother killed her
by feeding her a teaspoon of salt.

Kimberly Nicole Martines, 23, has been charged with homicide
by child abuse in the death of her daughter, Peyton
Martines, WHNS reports. Kimberly Martines has admitted
feeding Peyton the salt, allegedly telling authorities she
did so in an effort to “get her husband,” from whom she is
separated, “back into her life.” Martines says she was woken
up Sunday by Peyton screaming, CBS News reports; she saw the
child was having seizures and called 911, the State reports.

Peyton was diagnosed with an acute case of salt poisoning—as
WYFF explains, if too much is ingested, the sodium in salt
and soy sauce can cause seizures, coma, or death.

But Martines’ sister insists “there’s a lot more that went
on than people understand” and that Martines is “a great
mother” who would never hurt her children.

Peyton’s twin sister and another sibling were taken into
protective custody. “Peyton was the most beautiful,
happiest, loving baby ever. She never cried and was a silly
baby making everyone laugh,” her family says in a statement.

RE: F-Keys andother hot keys
Dear Webby,
I am new to computers and was wondering if you could
tell me what the F1 through F12 keys are for that are
located at the top of my keyboard?  What are the Ctrl
and Alt keys used for?  Thanks for the help!
JP

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

The only common ones that are still surviving are these:

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

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

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

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

Have FUN!

Making Small Amounts of Homemade Bisquick

I like to make my own Bisquick because it is more

make very large quantities. I was really happy to find this
recipe. It makes 1 and 1/2 cups.

The middle aged secretary had never been married and 
had had enough of work, as well as the single life.  It was
no secret that she was looking to get married.

As she came back from her lunch hour with another bag 
from the drug store, a co-worker said, "In the past 3 weeks 
you've bought enough birth control pills to last 10 years, 
energy pills for years, and Lord knows how many condoms.  
And you don't even have a boyfriend.  Whom are you 
trying to seduce?"

She smiled slyly and replied, "The pharmacist, silly."

"Are you sure?"
"Yes! said the man.

The barber did as he was told, and a satisfied customer left

the shop.

Three hours passed and the man reentered the shop.  
"Put it back the way it was," he said.

"What's the matter?" said the barber.  "Are you tired of 
being a nonconformist already?" 

"No," he replied, "I'm tired of people whispering to my

"Oh, come on, quit joking," snickered one.  "You didn't

"You would never get through basic training," scoffed
another.

The new recruit looked to his mother for help, but she was
just staring at him.

When she finally spoke, she simply asked,

Florida

Universal Studios guests with fake credit cards arrested

Cops say two South Florida men attempted to live it up at
Universal Studios last week. The trouble was Yuniel Garrido
Llopiz and Eidrys Reyes Robelt tried to pay with phony
credit cards, according to Orlando police.

Llopiz, 32, of Hialeah and Robelt, 30, of Miami were each
charged with possessing personal identification of other
people and misrepresenting themselves.

Robelt was additionally charged with trafficking in
counterfeit credit cards.

In all, they had 17 counterfeit cards on July 5, according
to Orlando police.

They tried to use fake cards to purchase food, clothing,
express passes and gift cards at the theme park, police say.

Robelt waived his right to remain silent during an interview
with police and the U.S. Secret Service.

"Robelt stated he had been given the counterfeit credit
cards in South Florida and knew they were 'not good,'" he
said, according to a report. "Robelt stated he could not
tell us who or how he received the cards because he feared
for his safety and did not want to be a 'snitch.'"

Llopiz doesn't speak English and no Spanish-speaking
detectives were immediately available, the report said.

RE: Missing Show Desktop icon
Dear Webby,
My mom had some misadventure with her computer and lost a 
bunch of stuff and files. Most of them she has since
restored, although many files were not recovered (no
backup!). 
 
Somehow she had also deleted her quick launch bar.  
I restored that the other day, but the button for "Show
Desktop" is not there.  How do I get that back for her?  

Thanks,
Laura

The easiest way to show the desktop is to hit the 
Windows key and D

The alternative is a very cumbersome rigamarole that you can

find if you click on the desktop, hit F1 and search for 
"How to Re-create the Show Desktop Icon on Quick Launch 
Toolbar"

Much easier to just take a fine line indelible felt pen and
write  
 + D 
onto the Windows key to remind her how to show the desktop.

Windows key and D also restores all open windows, that w ere
hidden when she hits that the first time to find an icon.
It is actually a very handy shortcut.

Have FUN!

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in
America .
ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 5.6%.
COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that's 23%.
COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.
ABBOTT: 5.6% Unemployed.
COSTELLO: Right 5.6% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that's 23%.
COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 23% unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, that's 5.6%.
COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?
ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed. 23% are out of work.
COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, Obama said you can't count the "Out of Work" as
the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed. 
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!
ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.
COSTELLO: What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted
with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair. 
COSTELLO: To whom?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.
COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work.
Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give
up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed. 
COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles that would
count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't
look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how it gets to 5.6%.
Otherwise it would be 23%.
COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there
are two ways to bring down the unemployment number? 
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.
COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop
looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down,
and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for
work. 
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a Democrat.
COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said!
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like Hillary.

Washing Bib Overalls

By mom-from-missouri [198 Posts, 460 Comments]

This is actually a tip I learned from my husband years ago
when we married. He wears bib overalls almost daily, and the
straps tend to tangle. But, if you unbutton the front
pockets, take the strap buckles and place them between the
button and pocket and then rebutton it (or snap on some
pairs) they will stay that way during the wash cycle. (if
you simply buckle them as you do when you wear them, they
come loose in the wash and tangle up)

Another trick I use is saving the buckles when he wears out
a pair. Every so often the buckles break, and I have a spare
buckle I can then use.
The rest of the worn out bibs make great potholders, or
skirts for little girls or tote bags. There are lots of
ideas on them if you google.

Two little boys were looking for a way to cool off on a hot
summer day.

Their dad wouldn't let them play in the sprinkler because
he was mowing the lawn, so the boys set out to find a
way to get wet and cool without getting into trouble.

They sat on the curb brainstorming the solution, when
suddenly one of them jumped up and declared,
"I know!  Lets get baptized!"

Well, both boys had seen enough to know that you can
get wet at at baptism, so they trotted on down to the
church on the corner and told the pastor they wanted to
get baptized.

The irritated pastor finally relented after about 10 minutes
of begging, and he finally dragged the boys to the men's
room and dunked them both head first into the toilet,
then sent them on their way.

The boys sat on the curb, slightly disappointed with the
whole adventure, when one of them asked the other,
"Hey, what religion are we now?"

"I don't know," replied the other.  "If we were Baptists,
he would have filled up the big tub and dunked our whole
body like he did for Uncle Jim, and if we were Catholic,
he would have poured it on our heads from a pitcher..."

They sat and thought about it for a while longer when
the first one said in a small voice,
"Since he stuck our head in the toilet, I
think that it means that we're 'pisscopalian."

>From Barb
There were four churches and a synagogue in a small town: a
Presbyterian church, a Baptist church, a Methodist church, a
Catholic church and a Jewish synagogue. Each church and the
synagogue had a problem with rats.

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to
do about their rats. After much prayer and 
Consideration, they determined the rats were predestined to
be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine
will.

At the Baptist church the rats had taken an interest in the
baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water slide
on the baptistery and let the rats drown themselves. The
rats liked the slide and unfortunately, knew instinctively
how to swim, so twice as many rats showed up the following
week.

The Methodist church decided that they were not in a
position to harm any of God's creatures. So, they
Humanely trapped their rats and set them free near the
Baptist Church. Two weeks later the rats were back when the
Baptists took down the water slide.

But the Catholic Church came up with a very creative
strategy. They baptised all the rats and consecrated them as
members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas
and Easter.

Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They caught
one rat and circumcised him. They haven't seen one since.

WHY I AM SO TIRED
I'm tired.
For a couple of years I've been blaming it on my iron-poor 
blood, lack of vitamins and dieting, and a dozen other 
maladies. But now I found out the real reason I'm tired is 
because I'm overworked.

The population of the USA is 237 million. 104 million are 
retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.

There are 85 million in school, which leave 48 million to 
do the work.

Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal 
government. This leaves 19 million to do the work.

Four million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 15 
million to do the work.

Take from that total the 14,800,000 people who work for 
state and city governments and that leaves 200,000 to 
do the work.

There are 188,000 in hospitals, so that leaves 12,000 to 
do the work.

Now, there are 11,998 people in prisons. That leaves just 
two people to do the work.

You and me.

And you're sitting there reading jokes!

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Bonifacio Oseguera-Gonzalez,
29,
Portland,
Oregon

Mexican held in Oregon farm murders had been
deported 6 times previously.

A Mexican national charged with aggravated murder in the
shooting deaths of three people at a rural Oregon blueberry
farm had been deported six times, most recently in 2013,
according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Bonifacio Oseguera-Gonzalez, 29, has no significant prior
criminal convictions, but ICE asked Oregon authorities to
turn him over to them if he's released from custody in the
current case, the agency said in a statement to The
Associated Press on Friday.

Oseguera-Gonzalez pleaded not guilty to three counts of
aggravated murder and one count of attempted murder Tuesday
in Marion County Superior Court.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump
tweeted about the case Friday, saying the suspect "should
have never been here."

Two men who lived at the blueberry farm in the Willamette
Valley town of Woodburn, in northwest Oregon, died at the
scene of Monday's shooting. The third victim, the girlfriend
of another resident who was not home at the time, was
pronounced dead at a hospital.

A third man was seriously wounded but survived and is able
to speak with investigators.

The Oregon State Police arrested Oseguera-Gonzalez a few
hours later on Interstate 84 in the Columbia River Gorge,
about 100 miles northeast of Woodburn.

He acknowledged to authorities in an interview that he shot
four people, according to a probable cause statement.

RE: Music too big for CD
Dear Webby,
I've gotten alot of good tips from you, and for that I thank
you. 
Here's a problem I'm hoping that someone can help me solve. 
I have several audio files on my hard drive that's too
large for 
the standard 80 minute CD. Is there any way to split those 
files so that I can put these onto disks? I do have them
zipped 
and backed up, but I'd rather put it on a disk so I can play

them in a CD player. Any suggestions?? I'm running xp on my 
system.  
Thanks  mellie

Dear Mellie
If those files don't fit onto a CD, then they came from a
DVD. There are quite a few programs that will let you put a
DVD or parts of one onto regular CD's.

Don't buy any of the crap advertised by spammers. There are
plenty of those programs available for free, and most likely
the spammers are just trying to con you into paying for one
of the many free ones.

The general term for those programs is "Audio Ripper", even 
though they work for movies too. Originally they were used
to "rip off" the music from Music DVD's and make bootleg
copies. 
The name stuck.

Just google for "Audio Ripper" and pick one you like.
There is a huge selection.

Have FUN!

Save Egg Shells for Planting Tomatoes

By Litter Gitter [175 Posts, 600 Comments]

To prevent blossom rot, I put a handful of egg shells in the
hole with the tomato plant when setting them. This gives
the tomatoes calcium and it works.

To prevent blossom rot, I put a handful of egg shells in the
hole with the tomato plant when setting them. This gives
the tomatoes calcium and it works.
 
For 2 dozen tomato plants, I use 2 gallons of crushed egg
shells. It takes me a year to save up that many.
Whenever I use eggs, I rinse the sticky stuff out of the
shells and set them on a paper towel to drain. After they
dry, they are ready to crush and add to the bag. I usually
let them build up in the bag and then put them in a bowl and
crush with my hands and fingers. (This also buffs my rough
skin and makes it smooth.) I store the bag in the pantry
until spring planting time.
If you want to try this, you need to start saving your egg
shells.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Anita Wymer,
56,
Fort Pierce,
Florida

Florida woman blames her dog for the 
alprazolam and diazepam pills in her car. 

You’ve heard the explanation that the dog ate my homework?
Anita Wymer, 56, blamed something else on her pooch.

Wymer on July 10 told St. Lucie County Sheriff’s
investigators that alprazolam and diazepam pills – used in
treating anxiety disorders — in her vehicle were prescribed
to her dog, according to an arrest affidavit.

Sheriff’s investigators evidently thought Wymer was barking
up the wrong tree, and threw her not in the dog house but in
the big house.

A deputy stopped Wymer about 3 a.m. after investigators say
she was traveling more than 90 mph in the area of Interstate
95 and St. Lucie West Boulevard.

Wymer smelled of booze, and said she had “a few drinks.”

Wymer took field sobriety exercises and was arrested on a
DUI charge. Breath tests measured her blood alcohol content
at 0.116 and 0.119, greater than the legal limit of 0.08.

In her vehicle, investigators found 13 alprazolam and two
diazepam pills. She couldn’t provide proof that she had a
prescription.

“Wymer then later stated that the pills were prescribed to
her dog and she only took one,” an affidavit states.

Instead of being thrown a bone, Wymer, of Fort Pierce, also
was arrested on charges related to having prescription pills
without a prescription.

Her dog could not be reached for comment.

RE: How do I prepare for the next huricane?
Dear Webby,
There has been all kinds of weird and wacky advice on
how to prepare for the hurricane that will hit here shortly.
What do YOU suggest?
Chris

Dear Chris
1) If you don't have one, get an external USB hard drive
and put all your important stuff on it, including the
compressed downloads for your software and a file with your
logons and serial numbers.

2) Put all your software CD's and other important CD's into
an unsinkable fishing tackle box or small cooler with a
latchng lid. Also put a flashlight in there.

3) Rent or borrow a laptop for a few days, or lease one 
from Dell.

4) Get a car or truck battery and an automotive battery 
charger and a cheap automotive 12 Volt to 110 Volt AC c
onverter.
NOTE: The most popular is the StatPower 650. It is cheap in
automotive accessory stores, more expensive in electronics
stores, even more expensive in computer stores, and totally
outrageous in aircraft accessories stores. 

5) Get a waterproof LED or fluorescent 12 volt mechanics
light. They float, use very little battery power, and
provide surprisingly decent light. 

Put the battery, charger and converter, and light into a
lockable or at lest latchable 10 or 15 gallon camping
cooler. Put some dry clothes into plastic bags and stuff
them in there to keep the 
pieces from shifting. 

Also put a flashlight in there. You may have to go to the 
washroom.

The reason for using such a large cooler is that a truck
battery or car batteries is heavy. A larger cooler will
float a lot higher in spite of the weight.

A fully charged pick-up truck battery will power a laptop
for more than a week.

Preparations like that are not just in case the water level 
rises to your desktop. The same set-up will also work fine 
if you decide to put pontoons under your desk and raft down

the Mississippi next spring. Don't forget your satellite
modem!

Have FUN!

Good Morning, ,

Today is Wednesday, August 3

My raspberries are ripening faster than I can pick them.
I picked a few pounds today and will probably put them on
cookie sheets and freeze them.

I made an intersting observation. Near the East end of the
first row I have a Maggie plant. Maggie is a strong herb
used sparingly in traditional stews and soups. It grows like
a tall weed and is about as unkillable as rhubarb.
To the left and right of the Maggie bush the raspberry
shoots are 8 feet tall, the rest of the row is about 5 feet
tall. Seems to be a living fertilizer producer.

Reported by the Bausell Sailor

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Brent Daley, 27; 
Brianne Daley, 25,
Pinal County,
Arizona

Parents arrested after crying, barefoot toddler found 
in 96-degree heat, while parents played Pokemon Go

An Arizona couple face multiple charges after police say
they abandoned their 2-year-old boy at home to play Pokemon
Go.

The toddler, wearing just a diaper and T-shirt, managed to
wander out of the house and into the 96-degree heat,
according to a Pinal County Sheriff’s Office report. A
neighbor called 911 and deputies found the child wailing
outside the San Tan Valley home, trying to get in, according
to KFVS.

The boy was “red faced, sweaty and dirty” by the time
deputies arrived, according to the report.

Deputies walked into the home – which was unlocked – to find
three dogs but no sign of the parents, 27-year-old Brent
Daley and 25-year-old Brianne Daley, according to officials.
After locating Brent Daley’s phone number, deputies called
him to say they had found the boy abandoned outside the
house, to which Daley allegedly replied, “Whatever,” before
hanging up.

It took the Daleys close to an hour to return home after the
call, deputies said.

The couple had allegedly left the boy sleeping so they could
get gas, but later admitted they were driving to various
parks and other areas while playing Pokemon Go, according to
Sheriff Paul Babeu.

Both parents face charges of child endangerment and child
neglect and were booked into the Pinal County Sheriff’s
Office jail.

The child is now being cared for by the Department of Child
Services.

soda, baking powder, and cornstarch in a pair of cotton
socks and stick in the shoes overnight. It works like a
charm.

A famed explorer was invited to Dartmouth to tell of his 
adventures in the African jungle.
"Can you imagine," he demanded, "people so primitive that
they love to eat the embryo of certain birds, and slices
from the belly of certain animals? And grind up grass seed,
make it into a paste, burn it over a fire, then smear it
with a greasy mess they extract from the mammary fluid of
certain other animals?"

When the students looked startled by such barbarism, the
explorer added softly, "What I've been describing, of
course, is a breakfast of bacon and eggs and buttered
toast."

Half an hour later, the father heard a blood curdling

What's wrong?  the father asked.  I told you to be quiet.
The son answered, Look, I was quiet when the snake slithered

The cruise ship docked at a Mexican port during a very high 
tide. Everyone on board was forced to use the ship's narrow

gangplank as a passageway to the dock far below. The staff 
stood motionless when a passenger in her 70s appeared at 
the top of the plank. 

There wasn't room for anyone to assist her, so she edged 
along slowly and finally made it to the dock safely, to 
everyone's relief. As she stepped down, she turned, looked 
back to the top of the gangplank and shouted, "It's okay, 
Mother, you can come down now."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Scott Hurley, 
45,
Brewster Lane, Palm Coast
Florida

Jilted Palm Coast man goes gunning for 
ex-'swinger' partners

A jilted sex "swinger" was arrested after he fired multiple
shots at one member of a Bunnell couple with whom he and his
wife had been sex partners, according to the Flagler County
Sheriff's Office.

Scott Hurley, 45, of Brewster Lane, Palm Coast, was charged
with two counts aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in
connection with the Tuesday night incident. He was released
on $3,000 bail, records show.

According to an arrest report, the victim told officers that
Hurley fired about five gunshots at him and a friend as
they were standing in front of his Papaya Street home just
before 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. He said Hurley then sped off in
his Honda Civic and circled the block, passing the home a
second time with a friend in the passenger seat.

The Bunnell man told deputies Hurley has been harassing him
and his family since he and his wife decided to discontinue
their “swinger” relationship. Reports show deputies also
responded to the Papaya Street home Monday night after
Hurley followed the couple home from the Palm Coast Wal-
Mart. Officers reported finding several cardboard boxes
riddled with bullet holes set up in the road in front of the
couple’s home.

Hurley denied firing any shots, but told deputies he went to
the home to try to lure the Bunnell man into driving his
car, saying he knew his driver’s license was suspended.
Hurley said he was upset because of a previous argument and
the plan was part of a ruse to get the man arrested.

Amy

Dear Amy
You are using a yahoo.com email.

Because Yahoo refuses to do anything effective to slow 
down the spam coming from there, all the big blacklists
have them blacklisted. Most of the anti-spam programs
USE those blacklists to pre-clean people's mails. 
Your mail gets trashed, unread. I only saw your mail 
because I was checking mail on the server.

As soon as you get a legitimate address, your mail will
get through again. If you don't have a computer at home
and just use the one at school or work, you can use any
decent web mail. Many ISP's offer it to their clients at
no extra charge, and for $1 - $5 to people who are not
dial-up or hosting clients.

Have FUN!

Tip: Rinse and Reuse Coffee Filters

By tootic [2 Posts, 19 Comments]
I use the natural brown unbleached coffee filters for my
electric coffee pot and the non-electric one cup cone coffee
maker over and over again. These can be carefully rinsed and
air-dried to reuse and still work like new. The inexpensive
white ones will fall apart, but the better quality ones
should work also.

The one cup filter is rinsed out while still in the plastic
holder because these are more delicate due of the seam at
the bottom. Then hang upside down on a wooden spoon standing
up in dish strainer. The coffee basket ones can be hung over
the dish strainer edge to dry and then gently placed back in
basket pressing sides to fit snug enough to function like
new.

Keeps paper out of landfill plus stretches your budget.
You'll be surprised how many times you can reuse before
discarding.

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush died and
found themselves standing on the other side of the Jordan
River looking across at the Promised Land. 

Saint Peter was standing on the other side and shouted 
over to the three surprised Americans, "Contrary to what 
you have been taught, each of you will have to wade across 
the Jordan River." 

As he saw their perplexed looks, he assured them by saying, 
"Don't worry. You will sink only proportionally, according
to your sins on earth. The more you have sinned, the more
you will sink into the water." 

The three American sages of political lore looked at one 
another, trying to determine who would be the first brave 
soul to cross the Jordan River. 

George W. Bush volunteered to go first. Slowly he began 
to wade out into the river, and slowly the water began to
get higher and higher, reaching to his waist. George began
to sweat, thinking of all his sins that were coming back to
haunt him. He was beginning to wonder if he would ever see
the other side. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity,
he began to emerge on the river's other bank. 

As he ascended to the other side, he looked behind him to 
see who was next. A shock of surprise registered on his face

as he saw Hillary Clinton almost in the middle of the river,
and the water was only up to her ankles. 

He turned to Saint Peter and exclaimed, "I know about
Hillary Clinton, and she has sinned much, much more than
that!" 

Before Saint Peter could reply, Hillary Clinton, by now knee
deep in the water, was shouting: "Bill is sinking! Bill is
sinking!" 

Bill Clinton was nowhere in sight, so Bush yelled back to
Hillary Clinton, who was by now waist deep in the water:
"How would you know?"
"I'm standing on Bill's shoulders!"

A man goes to a doctor for a routine physical. The nurse
starts with the basics. 
"How much do you weigh?" she asks. 
"Oh, 'bout One-sixty-five." he says.

The nurse puts him on the scale. It turns out that his
weight is 187.  The nurse asks, "Your height?" 

"Oh, 'bout six feet," he says. 

The nurse checks and sees that he's only 5 feet 8 3/4
inches.

She then takes his blood pressure, and it's very high.  

"High!" The man explains, "Of course it's high. When I came
in here, I was tall and lanky. Now, durnit, I'm short and

to come to my rescue.

"Will you get your tallness in here and get this for me?" 

"Sure, Mom," he remarked as he bounded into the kitchen.

Indiana woman stabs hubby because he did 
not bring home donuts

A woman is in jail after police found her husband bleeding
from a stab wound in his chest in New Albany on Friday.

When police responded to the 200 block of Graybrook Lane
around 11:30 a.m., they found the man sitting against a tree
holding a T-shirt against his chest, according to the police
report. The T-shirt was soaked in blood.

The man told police he had gone to pick up doughnuts for his
wife, 37-year-old Michelle Nelson, New Albany, but the store
didn't have the type of doughnut she normally gets. When he
returned home without doughnuts, Nelson reportedly "got
upset at him for not know[ing] what else she liked after
being together for several years."

The man told police the argument escalated and he tried to
leave the home. Nelson allegedly blocked the door and the
man pushed her out of the way. That's when Nelson reportedly
lunged at her husband while holding a grill fork. The fork
punctured the man's chest.

The man told police he pulled the fork out of his chest and
left the home. Nelson allegedly followed him out the door
and continued yelling at him. A neighbor later told police
they hear arguing and saw Nelson chasing her husband down
the street. The neighbor said blood was running down the
man's chest. The neighbor also noted that the couple had
been fighting about every day recently.

The man was taken to Floyd Memorial Hospital and treated for
non-life threatening injuries, according to the report.
Police told the man that he may face a battery charge and
that the couple's child was taken into custody by the
Indiana Department of Child Services.

Nelson is preliminarily charged with aggravated battery. She
was booked into the Floyd County jail on a $75,000 cash-
surety bond.

It might help you protect your Address Book. 

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR ADDRESS BOOK! 
I learned a computer trick today that's really ingenious in
its simplicity. As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets
into your computer it heads straight for your email address
book blah, blah, blah...

In the window where you would type your friend's first name,

type in "A". For the screen name or email address, type 
"AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA". Blah, blah, blah....
If everybody you know does this then you need not ever worry
about opening mail from friends. 
Pass this on to all your friends.
Do you Yahoo!?
----------------------------------

Dear Betty
Silly stuff like that is a complete waste of time. 
How would the mail program know that ".AAA" is not one of 
those wacky new hillbilly domains that the spammers are 
advertising, like ".new", ".inf", ".kid", ".prn", ".boz",
etc.?

There is NO substitute for a proper anti-virus program. 

Whenever you read "Pass this on to all your friends.",
then 
you KNOW it is just some prankster testing your
gullibility, and harvesting addresses. After all, if you
fall for THAT hoax, then there is no limit to what kind of
silly stuff can be sold to you.

Clean Stainless Steel with Magic Eraser

By Judy Pariser S. [131 Posts, 126 Comments]

I got this terrific stainless steel whistling tea kettle at
the church thrift shop yesterday for $2 (half price sale.)
It was full of grease and dirt. The black handle had some
white residue on it. I figured for $2 I could take a chance
and see how the steel part cleaned up with a soap-filled
pad. I assumed the handle would always be stained, but I
could live with it.

The lady working there told me to use a Magic Eraser instead
of steel wool to clean it. I use the knock-offs from the
dollar store. Within 2 minutes the entire kettle, including
the bottom and handle, looked like new, and I only used half
of one pad.
I wish I had taken before pictures, but you can see the
beautiful after results.

A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who is
ahead by a couple of strokes. The golfer says to himself: 
"I'd give anything to sink this next putt." 

A stranger walks up to him and whispers: "Would you give up 
a fourth of your sex life?" 
The golfer thinks the man is crazy and that his answer will
be meaningless but also that perhaps this is a good omen and

will put him in the right frame of mind to make the
difficult putt and says, "OK." 
He sinks the putt. 

Two holes later he mumbles to himself: "Boy, if I could only
get an eagle on this hole." The same stranger moves to his
side and says, "Would it be worth another fourth of your sex
life?" 

The golfer shrugs and says, "Sure." 
He makes an eagle. 

Down to the final hole. The golfer needs yet another eagle
to win. Though he says nothing, the stranger moves to his
side and says, "Would you be willing to give up the rest of
your sex life to win this match?" 

The golfer says, "Certainly." 
He makes the eagle. 

As the golfer walks to the club house, the stranger walks 
alongside and says, "You know, I've really not been fair
with you because you don't know who I am. I'm the devil, and
from now on you will have no sex life."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Mary Jane Carpenter,
25,
Des Moines
Iowa

Drunk Iowa mom took toddler to bar, 
punched child and officer

An Iowa mother is in custody after police say she was
already drunk when she took her two-year-old daughter to a
bar, according to WHO-TV.

Police say they responded to Miss V’s Honky Tonk Island Bar
on Hubbell Avenue just before 3:30 p.m. Wednesday after a
911 call from a bartender.

Officials say 25-year-old Mary Jane Carpenter was
intoxicated when she arrived at the bar with her child.
While she drank at the bar, the toddler was running around
and rolling on the floor. Police say Carpenter brought the
beverage she was drinking in with her, and was not served by
the bartender.

A bartender was upset because Carpenter was not supervising
her child. When the bartender confronted her, she slammed
down her drink and began yelling obscenities, police told
WHO-TV.

Carpenter left the bar with the child and a witness followed
her, concerned for the child’s safety. The bartender then
called police.

The witness told police Carpenter ran west on Hubbell and
was acting erratically when she abandoned her child in a
stroller. The witness stayed with the child and Carpenter
eventually returned before police arrived.

Officers say Carpenter was clearly under the influence of
alcohol and perhaps another substance. She was taken into
custody at that point without incident.

A breath test administered on scene yielded a blood alcohol
content of .183. A partially full water bottle containing
vodka was also found in the child’s stroller.

Carpenter was allowed to comfort her child in the back of a
police car while they waited for a family member to arrive
to take care of the child.

While in the back of the police car, Carpenter was able to
remove her handcuffs. When officers noticed, they removed
the child from the back seat and Carpenter became very
upset. While trying to get the toddler back, she punched the
child and the officer in the face.

Carpenter was taken to the ground and handcuffed again.

Police say she is facing charges of child endangerment,
assault on a police officer, and public intoxication.

Dear Webby,
I read that the Government is installing "Black Boxes" at

Dear Claudia
You have been reading too much spam.
Remember, spammers lie !
A project to record what everybody does on the net would
cost too many Billions of dollars, and there is no "little
black box" that could hold all the data that goes through an
ISP.

They may record what certain terrorists do, or politicians,
but that is no different from phone surveillance. There
simply is way too much data to record. 

Unless you are a terrorist or serious criminal, don't worry
about it.

And you are right with your hunch. Software on your PC can 
only eliminate data that is on your PC. 

If you are really worried, try Martin's solution.

Pumpkin Mousse Pie

By paula [19 Posts, 81 Comments]

This recipe is a reminder of pumpkin pie, yet lighter and
fluffier.
Ingredients:
1 single pie crust (I used Pillsbury roll out dough)
2 boxes of pumpkin Jello pudding
2 cups of cold milk
6 Tbsp. of brown sugar
2 cups of whipped cream (made from scratch) or Cool Whip
plus 1 1/2 cups for garnish
4 Tbsp. of butter
1/2 cup of pecan halves or large pieces
 
Directions:
Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface until 12
inches in diameter. Place in a 9 inch pie plate, do not tuck
the edges under as you would with a regular pie. You only
want them to drape upward in ruffles. Use a fork to prick
the bottom and sides of crust. Bake pie crust in a 450
degree F. oven for 10-14 minutes or until edges are lightly
browned. Remove from oven and let cool-about 15 minutes.
Mix both boxes of pudding with with the 2 cups of milk. Beat
by hand with a whisk for 2 minutes making sure all the
pudding is dissolved

Fold in the whipped cream until thoroughly mixed.
Spoon into cooled pie crust, smoothing out the top.
Melt butter in a saute skillet, when melted add pecans and
brown sugar. Cook until butter and brown sugar are blended
well remove from heat and let cool 5-8 minutes.
While pecans cool pipe whipped cream around the edge of the
pie or you can dollop on what will be individual pieces.
After the pecans have cooled a bit spoon over the mousse and
garnish whipped cream as well.
If you have more pecans then you care to use store in a
Ziploc bag and use on Ice cream.

Refrigerate until serving.

Servings:	6
Time:	10 Minutes Preparation Time

Here is a classic from the days before the Internet:

A guy wanted to buy a gift for his new girl friend's
birthday and as they had only started dating, after careful
consideration, he decided a pair of gloves would strike the
right note: personal, but not too personal.

Accompanied by the girl friend's older sister, he went to 
Herrod's and bought a pair of white gloves. The sister 
purchased a pair of panties for herself.

During the wrapping, however, the clerk got the items mixed 
up and the sister got the gloves and the girl friend got
the panties. 

The guy sent the package to the girl friend with the
following note:

I chose these because I noticed you are not in the habit of 
wearing any in the evening. If it had not been for your
sister, I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons,
but she wears the short ones that are easier to remove. 

These are a delicate shade, but the sales clerk that helped 
me showed me the ones that she has been wearing for the 
past three weeks and they are hardly soiled. 

I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart. 
I wish I was there to put them on for you the first time,
as no doubt other hands will come into contact with them 
before I have a chance to see you again. 

When you take them off, remember to blow into them before 
putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp
from wearing. Just think how many times I will kiss them 
during the coming year. 

I hope you will wear them for me Friday night.

All my love.

PS: The latest style is to wear them folded down with a 
little fur showing.

An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting 
surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, 
perform the operation. 

As he was about to get the anesthesia he asked to speak

"Don't be nervous, son; do your best and just remember, if
it doesn't go well, if something happens to me,  your mother
is going to come and live with you and your wife...."

St Louis,
MO

St Louis mother asked relatives to kill witnesses 
in son’s murder trial.

The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office has filed charges
against five people in connection with a conspiracy to kill
key witnesses for a woman’s son on trial for murder,
according to KTVI.

A St. Louis teen is accused of murder, and his mother is
accused having two witnesses killed, to keep her son out of
jail. This started with the murder of a 16-year-old almost
three years ago. Police arrested a suspect, but prosecutors
dropped the charges last year.

"We had a mom who wanted to make sure her son did not go to
jail, wasn't found guilty of his murder charges. So, she
started this plan. That's what set it off. She used
relatives and other people that she knew to make sure that
they were quieted." said Assistant Circuit Attorney Beth
Orwick.

In September 2013, 16-year old Chauncey Brown was gunned
down near Club 187 in north St. Louis. Homicide detectives
with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department believed
Brown, a student at Sumner High School, was killed over a
long-standing feud.

The rest of the story of all the related murders is at 
WQAD8

A man was going to the dentist to get some teeth pulled. 
The dentist was about to give the man some local anesthesia 
to numb the pain.

"Don't give me any drugs doc, having a tooth pulled is 
relatively easy, and it's quick.", the man said.

The doctor pulled the first tooth out and the man just 
grunted. Then the doctor attempted to pull the second 
tooth, only this one snapped in half and the dentist knocked
another tooth out with his pliers. 
But again the man just grunted.

"Wow, that sure is a lot of pain just to grunt at, have you 
ever felt pain like that before?" asked the amazed dentist.

"Well, twice actually." said the man, "The first time was 
when I was out in the woods and had to take use a washrom
really bad. The sit-down type. I pulled down my pants and 
jumped over this log. Just then a bear trap closed on my
balls and I started running...."

"Damn that must have hurt." the dentist interrupted. 
"What was the second time?"

"Oh, that would have been when the bear trap came to the 
end of it's chain."

There was a woman who spent some months serving 
God in Kenya.  On her final visit to a remote township 
she attended a medical clinic.  

As the Maasai women there began to sing together, 
she found herself deeply moved by their hauntingly 
beautiful harmonies.  She wanted to always remember 
this moment and try to share it with friends when she 
arrived home.  

With tears flowing down her cheeks, she turned to her 
friend and asked, "Can you please tell me the translation

Her friend looked at her and solemnly replied,

On a curvy mountain highway late one night, Bob was 
complaining about the car behind us. "That guy must be
drunk!" he said. "Every time I move over to let him pass, he
slows down. When I get back on the road, he gets closer and
stays on my tail."  

Thirty minutes later, the car turned on a set of flashing
blue lights. Coming up to his window, the officer said, 
"Sir, I'd like you to take an alcohol test. You've been 
swerving on and off the road for half an hour."

--------------------
That happened to me too once. However, I knew the road
and decided to outrun the "drunk".

His buddies were waiting for me in the next town in the 
morning, when I stopped for coffee.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Ronnie Music Jr., 
45,
Brunswick,
Georgia

Georgia man won $3 million in lottery, 
used money to build failed crystal meth empire

It didn’t work out for Ronnie Music Jr., 45, who won $3
million in a scratch-off lottery game last year and decided
to invest that money in a crystal meth trafficking ring,
according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

According to federal prosecutors, Music pleaded guilty last
week on federal drug trafficking and firearms charges. His
co-conspirators were caught trying to sell 11 pounds of
crystal meth worth about $500,000 in September 2015. Music
was then identified as the supplier, prosecutors said.

He allegedly used money from his lottery win to buy the meth
so he could resell it. During the investigation, agents
seized more than $1 million in meth along with guns,
ammunition, vehicles and $600,000 in cash.

“Music decided to test his luck by sinking millions of
dollars of lottery winnings into the purchase and sale of
crystal meth,” said U.S. Attorney Ed Tarver.

Tarver said the “unsound investment strategy” could result
in a life sentence.

RE: Mysterious dial-up
Dear Webby,
My internet dial up screen keeps poping up...not so much
when I'm on the internet, but when I'm working off line...is
there any thing I can do to correct this?
Thanks again for all the laughs and good information that
you send every day.
Kay

Dear Kay
Usually that is a sign of some spy-ware trying to report on
you, or of some mal-ware trying to dial you up via a
Caribbean connection.

I would most urgently advise to run 
MalwareBytes, McAfee, and Spybot-Search&Destroy,
in that order, immediately! 

In very rare occasions that mystery dialling can be cause by
a wrong setting in your mail program AND your dial-up set-
up. If the mystery dialling stops if all Internet related
programs like the mail program are shut down, then that
would indicate that the mail program is trying to check the
mail every so many minutes even when you are off-line. 

Have FUN!

Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor 
and a young trainee, were out checking meters in a 
suburban neighborhood.

They parked their truck the end of the alley and worked 
their way to the other end.  At the last house, a woman 
looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as 
they checked her gas meter.

Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged 
his younger co-worker to a foot race down the alley back 
to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a 
younger one.

As they came running up to the truck, they realized the lady
from that last house was huffing and puffing right behind 
them.  They stopped and asked her what was wrong.

Gasping for breath, she replied, 
"When I saw two men from the gas company running as 
hard as you two were, I figured I'd better run too!"

Florida woman stops alligator attack using a small Beretta

This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave,
cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce
predator.  What is the smallest caliber that you would trust
to protect yourself? 
 
A Beretta Jetfire testimonial.... Here is her story in her
own words:
"While out walking along the edge of a pond just outside my
house in The Villages with my soon to be ex-husband
discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we
were surprised by a huge 24-ft. alligator which suddenly
emerged from the murky water and began charging us with its
large jaws wide open.  She must have been protecting her
nest because she was extremely aggressive.  If I had not had
my little Beretta Jetfire .25 caliber pistol with me, I
would not be here today!"  
 
"Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it
took.... The 'gator got him easily and I was able to escape
by just walking away at a brisk pace.  It's one of the best
pistols in my collection!  Plus the amount I saved in
lawyer's fees was really incredible."
 
"His insurance was the big bonus. I'm comfortable now."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

David Utt,
39,
Canmton,
Illinois

Illinois Minister caught breaking into another church 
and trying to pry open the safe to steal money.

The minister of a Canton church was arrested Monday and
charged with burglarizing another church, according to
Canton police.

David R. Utt, 39, of Canton was charged with burglary to a
church, criminal damage to property over $300, and
possession of burglary tools, police said in a news release.
He remained in the Fulton County Jail in Lewistown on
$60,000 bond Tuesday.

Utt is minister of the New Hope Community Church in downtown
Canton, police said in the news release.

About 1:10 a.m. Monday, Canton officers on patrol saw a
minivan in the back parking lot of the First Church of the
Nazarene, 2051 E. Chestnut St. The van was partially in the
grass with the windows down and the key in the ignition. The
van was still warm, but no one was around the vehicle.

Officers located an open door in the church and began a
search. After hearing a noise, they found Utt using tools to
try to break into the office safe, according to the news
release.

And though Utt played poor mouth to police, he was released
from jail a day later, on $6,000 cash bail.

RE: Pop-Ups
Dear Webby,
HELP.
The kids computer is basically useless.  They can do nothing
put close down pop-ups.  They don't stop.

I wonder if this is related.  My wife noted a pop-up,
looking like an "official" Microsoft warning implying she
needed to do a download.  Reading it carefully, she noted
that by clicking ok, she was giving permission for some
company to hit her up with a pop-up at least once a minute.
Obviously, she deleted it.  Suspect the kids may have come 
across the same thing and not read it so carefully.  
Any suggestions?
David  

I would run Spybot-Search&Destroy.
You can get it free at https://www.safer-networking.org/dl/
If that doesn't help, format and re-install Windows.

Also check your phone bill carefully. Some of those things
wait for the screen saver to come on, then take the machine
off-line and quietly dial back up via some Caribbean ISP, 
at $25 or more per minute.

Call your phone company and get them to restrict the line, 
to which the kid's computer is connected, to local calls
only. 

Ask for confirmation of that IN WRITING, and also write down

the date, time, and the name or number of the operator who 
accepted your order for the local-only setting. 
At $25 per minute even one hour can make a huge difference 
in your phone bill.

Until you have placed that order, and have some proof that 
you did, you don't have a leg to stand on for disputing
calls that HAVE been made from your house to those places.

DSL is a bit safer, and cable is currently quite safe in
that regard. But to get rid of the nuisance pop-ups you
still need to run Spybot-Search&Destroy. 

There are simple pop-up stoppers available, but those 
often cause more trouble than they are worth. Best to 
just clean the system and get rid of the spyware.

Have FUN!

Dear Diary:
MONDAY:
It's fun to cook for Bob. Today I made angel food
cake.  The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The
neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.

TUESDAY:
Bob wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said
serve without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a
surprise when Bob brought a friend
home for supper.

WEDNESDAY:
A good day for rice. The recipe said wash
thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kinda of
silly but I took a bath. I can't say it improved the
rice any.

THURSDAY:
Today Bob asked for salad again. I tried a new
recipe. It said prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed
of lettuce one hour before serving. Which is what led
up to Bob asking me why I was rolling around in the
garden.

FRIDAY:
I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put
all ingredients in bowl and beat it. There must have
been something wrong with this recipe.
When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.

SATURDAY:
Bob did the shopping today and brought home a
chicken.  He asked me to dress it for Sunday (oh boy).
For some reason Bob keeps counting to ten.

SUNDAY:
Bob's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve
roast.  All I could find was hamburger. Suddenly I had a
flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and
set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger,
much to my disappointment.

GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY:
This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for
tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Bob.
If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to
surprise him with Chocolate Moose.

Boneheads arrested after they left 3 children
in desert without water or shoes

A mother and her boyfriend were arrested after they punished
her three young children by leaving them in the desert in
Twentynine Palms in temperatures just shy of 100 degrees on
Wednesday, sheriff's officials said.

The children -- a 7-year-old girl, 6-year-old boy and a 5-
year-old boy -- were discovered about 11:20 a.m. near the
74-000 block of Samarkand Drive, according to the San

RE: Getting used to W10
Dear Webby,
Thanks! I just ordered a new computer since a few other
things is wrong with this one and it’s time for a new on.  I
hate the fact that I’ll have to get use to Windoz 10 but I
know I can do it.  It didn’t take me long to learn Windows
7, or XP, nor 98 or 95, can’t remember the old ones now.
LOL!  I like learning new things, keeps the mind sharp.  I
just punch buttons and click on things until I’ve learned
the system and look up on line any questions I have.  I’ll
ask you if I can’t find it online.  

I don’t think Skype comes with my new one since I didn’t
order Windows Office.  Doesn’t it come bundled with Windows
Office?  I have Windows Office and Skype on this one.  I
plan to download Apache OpenOffice since it’s free and does
the same as Windows Office.  I think I can download Skype
from the internet too.  I only use it when my granddaughter
wants to Skype with me.  
 
Barb  

Dear Barb!
You don't have to get used to W10.
Remember the link I posted a number of times  to Classic
Shell ?
Classic Shell

With that you can make W10 look and feel like W7, or even
XP, if you want.

Skype is totally independent, even though Microsoft paid 8.2
BILLION bucks for it to make sure Google didn't get it.
You simply go to http://skype.com, download it
and install it, and it works.
Skype has been around a long time and is quite refined. 

I agree re open Office, 
even though I still use Excel 2000 for a few spreadsheets,
mostly because I am too lazy to transfer them. Other than
that, Open Office is the default on Webby machines.

To change the font and icon sizes, try this:

Settings > System > Display > Change the size of text, apps

You can adjust the sizes there.

Persian Lamb Kabobs

By attosa [224 Posts, 509 Comments]
This is a very simple yet extremely delicious recipe for
authentic Persian lamb kabobs. If you don't have a barbecue
grill, use your broiler.
 
Approximate Time: 20 minutes (3+ hours to marinate)
Yield: 4Persian Lamb Kabobs

Ingredients:
1 lb boneless lamb filet or boneless lamb chops, cut into 1
inch cubes
1 medium onion
2 lemons
1 Tbsp plain yogurt
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:
Grate onions. In a bowl, combine lamb, onions, juice of 2
lemons, yogurt, salt and olive oil. Let marinate in the
fridge for at least 3 hours. Remove from fridge 20 minutes
before you plan on cooking, to bring it to room temperature.
 
Thread lamb chunks onto metal skewers. If you don't have
any, you can soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes and
use them. For wider meat, use two skewers per row.
 
Add any other types of vegetables desired onto other
skewers. I used tomato halves and mini peppers.
 
On a barbecue, grill for about 5 to 8 minutes per side. If
you're using your broiler, this may take about 5 minutes per
side, depending on how close to the heat the rack is. You
want to get a slight char on all the meat and veggies.
 
Serve with buttered basmati rice and sumac. Perfection!

My husband and I had just finished tucking
our five young ones into bed one evening when
we heard sobbing coming from three- year-old
Billy's room. 

Rushing to his side, we found him crying hysterically.
He had accidentally swallowed a penny and was
sure he was going to die. No amount of talking
could change his mind. Desperate to calm him,
my husband palmed a penny that he happened to
have in his pocket and pretended to pull it from
Billy's ear. Billy was delighted. 

In a flash, he snatched it from my husband's
hand, swallowed it and demanded cheerfully, "Do
it again, Daddy!"

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some 
items in  front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly 
picked up a very large  and empty mayonnaise jar and
proceeded to fill it with rocks, about  2" in diameter.
 
He then asked the students if the jar was full? 
They agreed that it was. 
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured 
them into the  jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles,
of course, rolled into the open  areas between the rocks.
 
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. 
They agreed it was.
 
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the
jar.  Of  course, the sand filled up everything else.
 
He then asked once more if the jar was full. 
The students responded with an unanimous -- yes.
 
The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the
table and proceeded to pour their entire contents into the
jar -- effectively filling the empty spaces in the sand.
 
The students laughed.
 
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want
you to  recognize that this jar represents your life. The
rocks are the important things - your family, your partner,
your health, your children--things that if everything else
was lost and only they remained, your life would still be
full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your
job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The
small stuff."
 
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued
"there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same
goes for your life. 
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
you will never have room for the things that are important
to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to
your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get
medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will
always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner
party and fix the disposal. 

"Take care of the rocks first -- the things that really
matter. Set your  priorities. The rest is just sand."
 
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the
beer represented.
 
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to 
show you that no matter how full your life may seem, 
there's always room for a beer with a friend."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by

Marc Thomas Boysen, 

New Port Richey, 
Florida.

Drunk Florida bonehead hits 3 cars and a scooter 
and keeps on driving with the scooter driver's
body sprawled across the hood of his car. He was 
also driving north in the southbound lane.

Police in New Port Richey have arrested a man they say hit
and killed a man on a scooter before leaving the scene with
the victim still on the hood of his car. 

It happened just after midnight Saturday in the area of U.S.
Hwy. 19 and Main Street.  Officers say 43-year-old Marc
Thomas Boysen was driving westbound on Main Street when he
crashed into the back of a car stopped at that intersection.
Then, Boysen reportedly left the scene of that crash and
drove northbound on U.S. 19 in the southbound lanes, where
he crashed head-on into a scooter, killing the male driver
instantly.

Boysen then sideswiped another sedan, while still traveling
north in the southbound lanes. Police say Boysen entered the
parking lot of the Winghouse, with the man still on the
hood of his car, then crashed into an unoccupied parked car
which threw the male off the hood of the car.

Witnesses say bystanders from the Winghouse rushed towards
Boysen's car, pulled him out and held him there until police
arrived.

So far, the name of the victim on the scooter has not been
released.

Boysen is facing multiple charges, including Leaving the
Scene of a Crash Involving a Death, Leaving the Scene of a
Crash with Property Damage, DUI Property Damage and Felony
D.U.I.

Dear Jessie
Some computer magazine found that Ad-Aware kills about 50%

70% is not good enough for me when it comes to spyware

I want ALL of it dumped.

She bid, determined to have the parrot, but another bidder

A funny story circulated recently about Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, creator of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.
Doyle evidently told of a time when he climbed into a taxi
cab in Paris. 
Before he could utter a word, the driver turned to him and
asked,  "Where can I take you, Mr. Doyle?" 

Doyle was flabbergasted. He asked the driver if he had ever
seen him before.  
"No, sir," the driver responded, "I have never seen you
before." 

Then he explained, "This morning's paper had a story about
you being on vacation in Marseilles. This is the taxi stand
where people who return from Marseilles always come to. Your
skin color tells me you have been on vacation. The ink spot
on your right index finger suggests to me that you are a
writer. Your clothing is very English, and not French.
Adding up all those pieces of information, I deduced that
you are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." 

"This is truly amazing!" the writer exclaimed. "You are a
real-life counterpart to my fictional creation, Sherlock
Holmes!" 

"There is one more thing," the driver said. 

"What is that?" asked Mr. Doyle. 

"Your name is on the front of your suitcase."

Florida

Florida man robs pizza delivery man, 
craps himself when he sees police

On June 27 around 8:40 p.m., an employee of the Mount Dora
Domino’s Pizza on Highway 441 was heading out for a delivery
when 30-year-old Brent Van Besien allegedly approached him
with gun, demanding money.

The pizza delivery man asked if it was a joke – and Van
Besien, of Eustis, told him "no, and he would kill” him.

Fearing for his life, the pizza man gave him all that he had
– a whopping ten dollars – and Van Besien ran away.

Van Besien then made his wife drive him home from Domino’s,
according to a Lake County Sheriff's Office report. There,
they changed clothes before going to a gas station.

When the couple tried returning again to their apartment,
Van Besien saw deputies at their home. That's when he soiled
himself – and made his wife take him to his mom’s house.

There, Van Besien told his mother “he did something stupid,
the cops were looking for him and he could get ten years for
it,” according to a report.

Van Besien then asked to come inside because he had “crapped
his pants” and wanted to tell her goodbye, his mother told
deputies.

Van Besien’s mother ultimately let him inside for a short
time before sending him back home, according to a report.
That’s where deputies met him and searched his apartment.

Deputies didn’t immediately find any evidence. They did,
however, find a roll of toilet paper in his wife’s purse
that she said her mother-in-law gave to her.

When deputies questioned his wife, she told them about her
husband’s crime and that she was a victim of domestic
violence, who was forced to drive him around.

The gun was later determined to be a BB gun.

Deputies eventually arrested Van Besien Tuesday and booked
him into Lake County jail.

Just make a MailWasher filter that looks for a FROM address

"Look at ME!!" boasted the fit old man, pounding a very flat
and firm stomach, having just finished 100 sit-ups before a
group of young people.

"Fit as a fiddle! And you want to know why?? I don't smoke,
I don't drink, I don't stay up late, and I don't chase after
women!!"

He smiled at them, teeth white, eyes aglitter, "And

Start a Fire with Water

By Donna
Here is a fun Campers or Survival project. Collect some
kindling and leaves, dried tiny branches and fire starting
materials. Take a round empty bottle like Pom Drinks, you
can use it as a magnifying glass to pinpoint a ray of
sunlight onto your collected leaves and other fire starting
materials to start a flame.
Donna
Keep in mind that many parks don't
allow open fires anymore!

My Parents had not been out together in quite some time.
One Saturday, as Mom was finishing the dinner dishes, my 
father stepped up behind her.

"Would you like to go out, girl?" he asked.

Not even turning around, my mother quickly replied, 
"Oh, yes, I'd love to!"

They had a wonderful evening, and it wasn't until the end of 
it that Dad confessed.

His question had actually been directed to the family dog, 
lying near Mom's feet on the kitchen floor, and he had been 
afraid she might step back and trip over the dog.

Texas Waffle House Robber Armed with AK-47
is shot by customer armed witrh legal hand gun

A man armed with an AK-47 is alleged to have entered a
Waffle House in DeSoto, Texas, in the early morning hours
last Thursday. The robbery suspect was not counting on the
presence of a Texan with a Handgun License to Carry.

The alleged robber, described as a black man in his mid-
twenties, entered the  DeSoto Waffle House at about 2:30
a.m. on July 7, while armed with an AK-47 rifle, information
obtained by Breitbart Texas from the DeSoto Police
Department revealed. After robbing several of the customers,
the man walked out of the diner. One of the customers
followed the man out of the restaurant and attempted to stop
him.

The customer knew that his wife was on her way to the Waffle
House and feared she might be in danger in the parking lot.
He was afraid the armed man might harm her or others in the
parking lot, officials said.

After following the man out of the Waffle House, the
customer called out to the robber who turned and pointed the
rifle at him.

The customer fired several shots from his handgun and
stopped the robber.

Police officers arrived on the scene a short time later and
found the robber lying in the parking lot. He was 
transported to a local hospital where he remains in critical
condition.

Originally, the suspect had not yet been identified and
police were asking for the public’s assistance in figuring
out who the man is. Overnight, the police learned the man is
26-year-old Antoine Devon Cooper of Dallas, Sergeant Nic
Bristow told Breitbart Texas Thursday morning.

Frosted Banana Bread Squares
 By Jackie H. 
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks), softened
2 jumbo eggs (I use only jumbo)
4-5 mashed ripened bananas
2 tsp vanilla
1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, softened
2-1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (opt)
Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp milk (I use vanilla dairy creamer)

Steps:
Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Grease and flour a 15x10 inch
jelly roll pan.

In a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter,
and eggs until creamy. Add softened cream cheese & vanilla.
Then fold in the bananas.

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, powder, salt &
nutmeg and stir. Add the flour mix to the cream mixture. Add
walnuts if you choose. Blend for 1 minute.
Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or
until golden brown.

Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan
over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a
delicate brown and remove from the heat.
Add powdered sugar, vanilla, softened butter, softened cream
cheese & creamer or milk. Whisk together until all is very
smooth. Frosting will be thicker than a glaze but thinner
than a frosting.

Using a spatula, frost the bars while still slightly warm.
Enjoy!

Re Govt bigshots parking in student parking lots:

Don't they realize that: (I'm talking about middle school or
college students here)

It takes 8 students 4 seconds to grunt a car onto it's roof.

16 students can lift a car and jog with it. (stick half inch
iron water pipe through under the car and use the
protruding ends as comfortable carry-handles)

It takes 6 students, a bit of grunting, 4 cement blocks,
4 speed-wrenches and 20 seconds to remove 4 wheels 
and two license plates.

Two students with a tube of Crazy Glue can "ice" both door 
locks while they walk past them, without slowing down.

Girls like smearing a big gobs of ketchup with rubber 
tarantulas in it under the door handles. Macho guys prefer
to use fibre-gum, a slow drying and VERY sticky roofing 
gunk.

Splat's of white acrylic paint mixed with Poly-Filla make
very authentic looking pigeon droppings that are very
difficult to remove.

It takes one student 4 seconds to pry the top of a car door
open wide enough for the muzzle of a water gun, and 
completely soak the driver's seat with skunk-oil.

It takes a skinny student about a minute to connect a 
wire from the brake pedal sensor to the horn relay.

A roof rack with a pile of empty boxes, a few paint rollers
and water soluble paint, and a fake fox tail on the antenna,
is all you need to make a car, that has been carried over 4

spots, totally unrecognizable to it's owner.

4 students can lift a corner of a car enough to kick a 
skate board under the wheel. Makes it easy to 
inconspicuously move a car. Be careful on sloped parking
lots!

A mangled old shopping cart wedged solidly under a car,
which has been partially lifted by a few students, will 
generally get the driver into the bad books of any cop
led to the scene. Old baby strollers from the dump work
even better.

And then there's always the old skunk in the trunk trick.
Oh, the good old days!

There was a man driving down the road behind an 18 wheeler,
at every stoplight the trucker would get out of the cab,
run back and bang on the trailer door. After seeing this at
several intersections in a row the motorist followed him
until he pulled into a parking lot.

When they both had come to a stop the truck driver once
again jumped out and started banging on the trailer door.
The motorist went up to him and said, "I don't mean to be
nosey but why do you keep banging on that door?"

To which the trucker replied, "Sorry, can't talk now, I have
20 tons of canarries and a 10 ton limit, so i have to keep
half of them flying at all times."

A new miracle doctor was in town. 
He could cure anything and anybody, and everyone was 
amazed with what he can do.

Everyone except for Mr. Smith, the town grouch.

So Mr. Smith went to this 'miracle doctor' to prove that he 
wasn't anybody special.

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

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

Jar number 43? Mr. Smith wonders.

So the doctor brings the jar and tells Mr. Smith to taste it.

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

"I just restored your sense of taste Mr. Smith," says the 
doctor.

So Mr. Smith goes home very mad.

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

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

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

Charles J. Trione,

Caseyville,
Illinois


27 year old grandson beats his 78 year old 
grandfather with his own cane. 

Police say a 78-year-old Caseyville man was beaten with his
own cane, by his grandson, during an argument over who ate
the last of the leftover pizza.

St. Clair County prosecutors on Friday charged Charles J.
Trione, 27, with aggravted battery and domestic battery.

Caseyville Police Sgt. Gerard Spratt gave the following
account:

Police were called to the 300 block of Bethel Mine Road on
the night of June 30 for a report of a domestic disturbance.

“The disturbance was over who ate the last of the pizza in
the refrigerator at the house,” Spratt said. He said Trione
pushed his grandfather to the floor in the kitchen and then
beat him with the grandfather’s cane.

When police arrived, the suspect was gone. The 78-year-old
had head injuries which were not life-threatening.

Caseyville Police and St. Clair County sheriff’s deputies
located Trione on Wednesday in Caseyville. The case was
turned over to the state’s attorney’s office.

Bail for Trione was set at $75,000, and he remained in
custody as of Saturday at the St. Clair County Jail.

RE: Carry data
Dear Webby,
I'm a teacher and will be at a different school this fall.
At this school I get to ride the school bus, as long as I
carry a big wooden spoon and keep the riots on the bus under
control.
I'm sure it won't be that bad, but they definitely advised
that I don't carry my laptop along. I used the laptop mostly
to carry the data between the school computer and my home 
machine.

What would you recommend for carrying my preparations
and homework between home and school ?
Fanny

Dear Fanny
The most civilized way would be to get yourself a little
web site, upload the day's data to there before you leave
home, and download it into the school machine when you 
get there. All you "carry" is your password.

Second best is to get an SD card and a reader.
The reader just plugs into a USB port and makes the flash
card another drive. Flash cards come from 2 to 128 GB 

They are small enough that you can sew a little pocket for
one onto the inside of a regular belt. If you have a belt
with little pockets for parking meter change, that will do
just fine.

The readers are between $9 and $20, depending on options.
The $9 kind that I use works just fine. You can leave those
attached to the computers and only take the little flash
card along. 

With 2 GB you can easily fit a year's data onto it, and run
your applications using the data right on the flash card. No
need to copy it to the 
computer first.

Of course, the first time you forget to take the memory card
along you will wish you had gone with the option I
mentioned
first. 

Depending on how good YOUR memory is, you might find
it easier to pay $2.50 a month for commercial grade web
space.

Have FUN!

Deodorant to Remove Underarm Stains
 By Jackie H. 
I bought a beautiful white sweater at a yard sale. The
challenge though was the sweater had large yellow armpit
stains. I got all sorts of advice, use OXI, use vinegar, use
lemon juice, use baking soda; they all failed. Then someone
said use what "caused the stain". Hmmmmm, deodorant.

I used a stick of solid white deodorant and rubbed it
thickly into both sides inside and out. Let it sit in cold
water overnight. Washed as normal the next morning and Wha-
La! Beautiful white sweater that looks like new!

elevator shoes, Mr Benson's right foot slipped on an oily
patch and after expertly tripping himself, he fell flat on
his face. 

As he was lying there, a woman stopped her car and called 
out, "Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine," he said, as he was trying to regain his 
composure and plan a way to exit without beeing seen by
too many people.

"Oh, good," she continued. "Will you be vacating your 
parking space any time soon?"

After spending all day Sunday watching football on
television, Bob fell asleep and spent the night in the
chair. His wife woke him in the morning.  "It's twenty to
seven," she called.

"In who's favor?"
