A married couple was in a terrible accident where the
woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the
husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body
because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to
donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his
body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come
from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they
would tell no one about where the skin came from, and
requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After
all, this was a very delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded
at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than
she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just
went on and on about her youthful beauty! One day, she
was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with
emotion at his sacrifice. She said, Dear, I just want to
thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way
I could ever repay you."
"My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it. I get all
the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you
on the cheek."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Lamel Yancy,
17,
North Little Rock,
Arkansas
c
Disturbing video of a 3-year-old boy smoking marijuana
led to the arrest of his uncle.
Lamel Yancy, 17, was charged with endangering the welfare of
a minor after he allegedly posted the video to Facebook,
which police found while investigating him for a burglary
charge, according to KTHV.
The video shows Yancy allegedly passing the marijuana to the
boy, who is sitting in the backseat of a car, and telling the
child to “hit the blunt.”
The boy, can be heard saying “weed” and coughing as he
appeared to smoke the marijuana.
Yancy can be heard laughing, saying to a woman in the car,
“Hey girl, he about to smell, look he high already.”
The female seated next to him, who police believe is the
boy’s mother, can be heard objecting, but Yancy replies that
he “will smoke more” with the 3-year-old later.

RE: Bunged up mail
Dear Webby,
Last weekend my mom had a birthday, and we gave her a Canon
camera. We had hoped to get all kinds of pictures from her,
but now my mail is totally bunged up and I don't get any mail
anymore. It keeps trying to download, but nothing ever
arrives. We are on a fairly new desktop with W10 and on
rural dial-up. What can I do to fix it?
Eloiese
Dear Eloise
You can't.
Tell your mother to stop sending you batches of 12 MB
pictures. Your connection simply can't handle that.
Tell her to use ANY graphics program, even the built in
Microsoft PAINT (START, paint ) to shrink the pictures
to about 1000 wide, or smaller, and then send them one
picture at a time.
In the meantime, phone your ISP and ask them to dump your
email. Yes, dump it, zero it. On dial-up you probably would
not be able to download it all by next Christmas.
Just imagine, one hundred 12 MB pictures attached to an
email! Even on 20 Mbps DSL, that would take overnight or
more.
If you give somebody a camera, first teach them how to shrink
the pictures. Don't reduce the camera setting. Leave that at
UltraFine. If you want to crop just the distant corner where
grampa trips over the cat, and discard the rest of the
picture, you need the fine resolution, when you expand that
corner to monitor size. Just crop the finished pictures to
about the size of the large click-through picture in the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
Have FUN!

decided she'd pick him up.
They started the usual chit-chat, and she turned on the
charm. Things were going well and she thought sure he'd ask
her on a date soon, but then somehow he let it slip that he
was a convict on the run.
"What were you in prison for?" she asked.
"I murdered my wife and children," he cooly responded.
Without a moment's hesitation, she added hopefully,
"oh, so you're single...?"

The worried housewife sprang to the telephone when it rang
and listened with relief to the kindly voice in her ear.
"How are you, darling?" it said. "What kind of a day are you
having?"
"Oh, mother," said the housewife, breaking into bitter tears,
"I've had such a bad day. The baby won't eat and the washing
machine broke down. I haven't had a chance to go shopping,
and besides, I've just sprained my ankle and I have to hobble
around. On top of that, the house is a mess and I'm supposed
to have two couples to dinner tonight."
The mother was shocked and was at once all sympathy.
"Oh, darling," she said, "sit down, relax, and close your
eyes. I'll be over in half an hour. I'll do your shopping,
clean up the house, and cook your dinner for you. I'll feed
the baby and I'll call a repairman I know who'll be at your
house to fix the washing machine promptly. Now stop crying.
I'll do everything. In fact, I'll even call George at the
office and tell him he ought to come home and help out for

"George?" said the housewife. "Who's George?"
"Why, George! Your husband!....Is this 223-1374?"
"No, this is 223-1375."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I have the wrong number."

Philadelphia,

Convicted Drug Dealer Leads Police On Pursuit And
Crashes Into Kmart
A convicted drug dealer was arrested this afternoon after
fleeing from police and crashing his vehicle into Kmart in
Loyalsock Township. According to State Police in
Montoursville, Anthony Barasky, 26, of Philadelphia, was
driving a black Dodge Durango east on High Street near Herdic
Place around 12:25 p.m. September 19 while an officer was on
patrol in the area. The officer recognized Barasky as being
involved in a recent vehicle pursuit in the City of
Williamsport in the same vehicle, and knew that he did not
have a valid driver's license.
The officer activated his lights and sirens in an attempt to
pull over Barasky, but Barasky turned north onto Campbell
Street and accelerated while passing on the left in a no
passing zone toward oncoming traffic. He then turned east
onto Louisa Street and traveled at speeds in excess of 80
miles per hour as he blew past several stop signs. Barasky's
vehicle went airborne while he was traveling at high speeds.
Due to the high rate of speed and time of the day, the
officer decided to terminate the pursuit for fear of innocent
people getting hurt.
A second officer observed the Durango traveling at a high
rate of speed at Northway Road and Northway Road Extension,
and tried to pull him over but Barasky continued to flee. As
the second officer pursued him, Barasky went through the red
light at Four Mile Drive and Northway Road causing vehicles
to scatter. Barasky then drove past Loyalsock Township High
School where he allegedly disposed of 70 bags of heroin on
the road in front of the school. Barasky continued the
pursuit down Sheridan Street and then Homewood Avenue before
crashing the front end of the Durango into a western concrete
block wall at Kmart, where the children's department is
located. A witness saw Barasky flee the scene on foot
through the Kmart/Giant Plaza toward Staples. He disposed of
nine bags of heroin in a garbage can in front of Staples
while running through. Barasky attempted to jump a rear fence
at Willard's on Westminster Drive and was then taken into
custody in the parking lot. Law enforcement recovered the
bags of heroin when canvasing the area shortly after the
pursuit.
At the time of arrest, Barasky had on him $500, two cellular
phones and two additional cellular phones that were found in
the crashed Durango. A test of Barasky's hands revealed the
presence of heroin. He was charged with possession with
intent to deliver heroin, fleeing or attempting to elude
police, hit and run and approximately 20 other traffic
summary offeneses. Barasky was arrainged before Distrist
Magistrate Gary Whiteman and jailed on $250,000 bail.
Barasky is on parole in Pennsylvania in connection with a
drug delivery charge he was convicted on in 2009.

people hinted to him that he could serve in other places, but
he continued to come to the choir. The choir director
became
desperate and went to the pastor.
"You've got to get that man out of the choir," he said. "If
you
don't, I'm going to resign. The choir members are going to
quit too. Please do something."
So the pastor went to the man and suggested, "Perhaps you
should leave the choir."
"Why should I get out of the choir?" he asked.
"Well, five or six people have told me you can't sing."
That's nothing," the man snorted. "Fifty people have told me
that you can't preach!"

A little old lady buys a pair of parrots, but cannot

She spends weeks staring at the cage and eventually
catches them doing what comes naturally. To make
sure she doesn't get them mixed up again, she cuts
out a ring from a piece of cardboard and puts it round
the male parrot's neck.
A while later, the local priest visits the old lady. The
male parrot takes one look at the father's collar, wolf

hands were three magnetic letters: G-O-D.
"Look what I spelled, Mom!" Mitch exclaimed, a proud

"That's wonderful!" I said. "Now go put them on the fridge

That should stop further damage.
Then go to Appuals
and tediously repair the damage, that has been done already.
That involves downloading a few files from Microsoft,
and deleting some junk files.
It's not difficult and not rocket science, just a bit
tedious.
After that, svchost (netservices) should be way down the list

2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Steps:
Cook rice according to package, and make your sauce ahead of
time, stirring well until the sugar is dissolved very well.
Set aside!
Mix sauce ingredients in a cup.
Clean and prepare all the vegetables.
Using a deep covered skillet, add olive oil. Do not heat
until all the vegetable are in the skillet. You want all the
veggies crisp, or at the same doneness.
When all veggies are in the skillet (except for bean spouts
and shrimp), turn the heat on high only until the pan starts
to sizzle. Stir constantly so the oil is coating all. You
will see the veggies start to cook done.
When they start to look like they are cooking, pour the well
mixed sauce over the veggies, and stir well. If it looks like
it could use a little more sauce, just add a 1/2 cup of
water.
When the sauce starts boiling turn it down to simmer and add
the mixed cornstarch and water and stir rapidly, and remove
from the heat.
Add the shrimp, and stir well. Place the bean sprouts over
the top of the mixture and cover. They will steam and stay a
bit crisp.
Serve over a bed of long grain whire rice. Enjoy!:)

When I lived in a dorm, one of the favorite intramural sports
was water fights. Dousing and bombarding one another with
water from squirt guns, glasses, balloons, even wastebaskets.
Since each room had a sink, there was endless ammunition.
The most frequent target was the Resident Assistant.
Approaching his room one afternoon, he noticed his door was
ajar. Looking up, he saw a pail of water balanced on the
door's edge, ready to fall on him. As he took down the pail
and emptied it into his sink, he thought, "Those crazy guys
actually thought they could fool me with that old gag!"
It was then he realized we'd loosened the drainpipe beneath
the sink and turned the first "U" part so that it was aimed
at his crotch.

Fist scan your machine with Malwarebystes
That should stop further damage.
Then go to Appuals
and tediously repair the damage, that has been done already.
That involves downloading a few files from Microsoft,
and deleting some junk files.
It's not difficult and not rocket science, just a bit
tedious.
After that, svchost (netservices) should be way down the list

Peanut Butter Banana Puffed Rice Squares
By attosa [244 Posts, 548 Comments]
This is a little twist on a Krispie Treat. Using puffed rice,
bananas and peanut butter give it a lovely velvety texture.
You can substitute crisped rice for the puffed rice, if you
like. This recipe also doubles perfectly, just use a bigger
pan or dish.
Prep Time: 2
Cook Time: 2
Total Time: 20
Ingredients:
3 cups puffed rice
1 Tbsp butter
6 oz marshmallows
1/2 banana
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Steps:
Lightly grease an 8 x 6 inch baking dish and set aside. In a
microwavable bowl, heat up butter and peanut butter in 30
second increments until butter has melted.
Mash the half banana. Add it to your peanut butter mixture.
Mix well.
Add the marshmallows to the bowl and return to the microwave.
Heat at 30 second increments until melted.
Peanut Butter Banana Puffed Rice Squares
Add puffed rice. Stir well until completely coated by
marshmallow peanut butter mixture.
Pour into your greased dish and press in tightly.
Put chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30
second increments until melted. Pour on top of the pressed
rice mixture.
Place in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes to set.
To avoid the dreaded dry and mealy look of the chocolate,
don't overheat and wait for it to LOOK melted. Add a bit of
butter to the chips and stir vigorously after 45 seconds.
That way it will produce a strong, smooth and shiny cover.
Have FUN!

Landon Hall,
26,
St Petersburg,
Florida
Suspect's Distinctive Adams Apple Helps Lead To
Grand Theft Arrest
An accused thief’s distinctive “man bun” helped lead to his
apprehension in connection with the swiping of video
surveillance cameras from a Florida business, according to a
court filing.
Police charge that Landon Hall, 26, last week stole four
video cameras from the Villa Laundromat in St. Petersburg.
Hall allegedly removed the cameras from their mounts while
concealing his face with a “yellow colored pocket square” and
a shirt.
Hall’s efforts to hide his face were not successful,
according to a sheriff’s deputy who noted that, “The
defendant also had a very distinct ‘man bun.’”
Seen above, Hall was identified by a cop with whom the
suspect had multiple prior contacts. Hall was collared Sunday
afternoon for grand theft. He is locked up in lieu of $2000
bond on the felony charge.
Hall’s lengthy rap sheet includes busts for trespassing;
retail theft; narcotics possession; robbery; loitering;
credit card fraud; burglary; and possession of drug
paraphernalia. Prior mug shots indicate that Hall’s “man bun”
is a recent tonsorial touch.

RE: Gifts that are not mushy
Dear Webby,
Do you have any tips for gifts that are not mushy?
Farah
Dear Farah
Sure. Here are some that will be appreciated for a long time:
A USB hub to cut down on the under the desk crawling, head
bashing and cussing: $2 - $20
Compact Flash Memory chips for cameras and floppy
replacement, depending on size: $2.95 - $250
A Compact Flash Memory reader for people who haven't got
one yet: $4.95 - $20
A wrist rest: $5 - $500
By the way, you can easily make a VERY nice wrist rest
yourself. Get a really soft, old leather jacket from a second
hand store. As long as one sleeve is still OK, it makes no
difference how bad the rest is.
Cut the best keyboard +2" length section from the best
sleeve.
Turn it inside out and sew one end closed. Trim the other end
so that you have a flap that you can tuck in. You may have to
do a bit of sewing there to finish the lining and the cut.
Turn it right side out again.
Take an old towel and fold it so that it will slide into the
sleeve and pad it up to about 2 inches. Slide the towel in
with a ruler and cut it to length. Tuck in the flap and it's
done. Makes a very snazzy looking and very comfortable
executive wrist rest.

The wall clock in our philosophy lecture hall was about as
old as the professor and had a very interesting trait. If it
was hit with an eraser, it jumped ahead a couple of minutes.
Naturally, that special feature was abused on a regular basis
to shorten the philosophy lectures.
The professor seemed to be in his own little world and
appeared not to notice.
Then came the semester exam.
After everybody had picked up their copy of the exam booklet
and settled down to do some serious cheating the professor
walked around, collected all the erasors and sat at an empty

For some reason that caused the cheat sheets to rustle a lot

Ventura,
California
California Man goes on cruisade With Stolen Crucifixes
A California man attacked several victims with stolen
crucifixes during an early morning rampage that ended with
his arrest on robbery, burglary, and assault with a deadly
weapon charges, cops report.
According to the Ventura Police Department, Forrest Brantley,
35, broke into the gift shop of a Spanish mission early
Thursday morning and stole a pair of crucifixes.
Brantley, seen at right, then attempted to rob a victim of
their phone in the mission’s parking lot. “When the victim
refused to give Brantley the phone, Brantley hit that victim
with one of the crucifixes,” police charge.
Brantley then began walking down Ventura’s Main Street “and
did the same thing to two more victims, striking them with
the crucifix,” cops reported. He subsequently broke the car
window of a 75-year-old man who was seated inside the vehicle
and “struck the man, causing him injury.”
After breaking into a thrift store and stealing a bicycle,
Brantley “approached another victim...and battered that
victim by striking him with the crucifix.”
Officers subsequently apprehended Brantley and booked him
into the Ventura County jail on an assortment of misdemeanor
and felony charges. Locked up in lieu of $202,500 bail,
Brantley is scheduled to appear in Superior Court this
afternoon.
The victims targeted in the crucifix attacks sustained minor
injuries, said cops, who added that the 75-year-old victim
was treated at a local hospital for a “moderate injury to the
face.”

That turns off Hibernation and the W10 problem with mixing up
hibernation and Sleep. Now you should be able to wake it up
with any key or with opening the lid. You only have to do
that once to fiox it.
You can also go into the control panel, power configuration,
and turn off both Hibernation and Sleep,
and simply hit Windows-Key D to clear your desktop from

While making rounds, a doctor points out an X-ray to
a group of first year medical students.
"As you can see," she says, "the patient limps because
his left fibula and tibia are radically arched. Michael,
what would you do in a case like this?"
"Well," ponders the student, "I suppose I'd limp too."

Lately, during a during a violent house-shaking blizzard, my
neighbor was tucking her small boy into bed. As she was
about to turn off the light he asked with a tremor in his
voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"
She smiled and gave him a reassuring hug.
"I can't dear," she said " I have to sleep in Daddy;s room."
A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:
"The big sissy."

Finding one of her students making faces at the others
on the playground, Mrs. Smith stopped quickly to
reprove the child. Smiling sweetly, the teacher said,
"Bobby, when I was a child, I was told that if I made
ugly faces, it would freeze and it would stay like
that."
Bobby looked up and replied, aghast:
"And you did it anyway!"

Reverend Smith, a respected church leader, arrived in a large
city to deliver a series of speeches. At a banquet the first
evening, he noticed some reporters in the audience.
Because he wanted to use some of the stories he told that
night in his speeches the next day, he asked the reporters to
omit them from their articles. One article that came out the
next day, written by a cub reporter, concluded with this
line: "Reverend Smith also told a number of stories that
cannot be printed."

Chicago man arrested in shooting, robbing elderly
man who was watering lawn
Surveillance footage of a robber knocking down a 71-year-old
man BEFORE shooting the 71 year old man on the ground and
taking his wallet as he watered plants outside his Marquette
Park home, spurred a family member to turn in Antonie Davis,
a felon with 3 convictions, who's now charged with the crime,
prosecutors said Saturday.
30-year-old Antonie Davis has been charged with one felony
count of robbery and one felony count of aggravated battery.
He was arrested yesterday.
Police say Davis shot and robbed 71-year-old Fred LaGuardia,
as he was watering his lawn in front of his Marquette Park
home on Sept. 6th.
The brutal attack on LaGuardia’s was recorded on a
surveillance video. It shows him watering his lawn, when two
men on bikes rode by. They return and one of the suspects
tries to rob him. He knocks the old man down, and then
shoots him and robs the wounded man.
LaGuardia was taken to the hospital by neighbors,
who watched the incident..
By the way, Fred LaGuardia is black too.

RE: What size monitor?
Dear Webby,
What size monitor do you recommend? I do wear glasses,
if that makes a difference.
Thanks, Dana
Dear Dana
Keep in mind that you can never replace your eyes.
Check out how much new eye glasses cost.
Then get a monitor that costs the same amount.
The bigger the monitor, the more your eyes and your neck
move, and the longer your eyes will last as shown by longer
periods between needing different glasses.
If necessary, also get a video card that will allow you a
resolution of at least 1920 x 1080.
For every dollar you scrimp on the monitor and video card,
you will spend two at the optometrist.
Have FUN!

Better meatloaf
By suz123 [2 Posts, 36 Comments]
Make your meatloaf with any recipe you like best, then top
with laying strips of bacon across the top. As it bakes, the
juices of the bacon seep into the meat just enough to give it
a real nice flavor. Use as many strips of bacon as desired.
It's yummy.

Three patients in a psychiatric institution prepare for an
examination given by the head psychiatrist. If the patients
pass the exam, they will be free to leave the hospital.
However, if they fail, the institution will detain them for
five more years.
The doctor takes the three patients to the empty swimming
pool, and asks the first patient to jump in.
The first patient jumps head first into the pool and breaks
both arms.
The second patient jumps and breaks both legs.
The third patient looks over the side and refuses to jump.
"Congratulations! You're a free man. Just tell me why you
didn't jump?" asked the doctor.
"Well Doc, I can't swim!"

In fact, men have known and displayed this for centuries.

At the sight of his devil's costume, people began to scatter

caught on the arm of one of the seats and, as the man came
closer, she pleaded, "Satan, I've been a member of this
church for 20 years, but really, when you look at all the
gossiping I've done, you'll see that I've really been on your

Two weeks later, a friend visited Ole and noticed his

keep his hens in his own yard?"
Ole replied, "Easy! One night I hid a dozen eggs under a bush

gather them.
He built a fence that morning and I haven't been bothered by

Look out! Sand storm coming!

I drove from Arizona up through Monument valley to Utah
about eight or nine times. At least half a dozen times there
was a sand storm somewhere between Tuba City and the upper
end of Monument Valley. At the end of April, begin of May,
when the desert blooms, you can pretty well count on a sand
storm there. It is rather spooky, you drive along slowly
because visibility is just about 50 feet, and suddenly a huge
dark shadow appears like a ghost ship. One of the monuments.
Even though they are farther away than 50 feet, when they
suddenly block the sun, they turn off the light in the brown
dust.

A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because
he is not sure if sex is work or play.
So he goes to a priest and asks for his opinion on this
question.
After consulting the Bible, the priest says, " My son,
after an
exhaustive search, I am positive that sex is work and is
therefore not permitted on Sundays."
The man thinks: " What does a priest know about sex?"
So he goes to a Lutheran minister, who after all is a
married
man and experienced in this matter.
He queries the minister and receives the same reply:
"Sex is work and therefore not for the Sabbath !"
Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out a Rabbi, a man of
thousands of years tradition and knowledge.
The Rabbi briefly ponders the question, then states,
"My son, sex is definitely play."
The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so
many others tell me sex is work?"
The Rabbi softly speaks, "My son, if sex were work,
my wife would have the maid do it."

Perverts Roundup in Florida
Operation Undertow was a 5-day long undercover sting
operation targeting people who solicited sex with minors via
the internet. The sting was conducted by multiple agencies
including several in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
Special to the News Journal
Local law enforcement officials have arrested 22 people
during an undercover sting operation targeting adults who
used the internet to solicit sex with children.
The arrests were announced at a multi-agency press conference
at the Pensacola Police Department Wednesday afternoon. The
individuals taken into custody were mostly from Pensacola,
but the pool of suspects also included men from Alabama,
Mississippi and a pastor from Pace.
The sting, dubbed "Operation Undertow," took place from Sept.
7 to 11. According to the PPD, undercover agents posed as
teenagers on various websites and were contacted by suspects
who agreed to meet the "teens" for sex. The suspects were
arrested when they arrived at the arranged meeting location.
The videos of the arrests were actually quite funny.
As soon as the perverts came to the door, where they expected
a cooperative minor, and identified themselves, the door
burst open and a bunch of big cops tackled the pervert like
they were cage wrestlers, tossed them inside and piled on
them after slamming them to the ground. They immediately
closed the door and only the sound coming through the closed
door hinted at the beating the perverts got.
Same with the next one, and the next, and so on.
The paperwork afterward must have been a real chore.
"This effort of arresting and prosecuting these individuals
helps to stop future abuse," Pensacola Chief of Police David
Alexander said at the press conference. "This was five days
of hard work for our officers, dispatchers, support personnel
and personnel from other agencies."
David Donald Hoppenjan, 52, a pastor at the First United
Methodist Church of Pace. According to his arrest report,
Hoppenjan allegedly traveled to two locations with the
intention of having intercourse with a 14-year-old boy.
Calvin James Pearson, 31, and David Oloms, 24, both of
Pensacola, who allegedly traveled together to have
intercourse with who they believed to be a 14-year-old girl.
Oloms reportedly consented to a search of his vehicle, and
investigators found "a luggage bag full of various sex
equipment, bondage and sadomasochistic equipment," according
to their arrest reports.
Bradly Davis Jones, 46, who was allegedly carrying a baggie
of methamphetamine and a glass smoking pipe when he arrived
to have intercourse with a 14-year-old girl. While arranging
the meeting with undercover investigators, Jones allegedly
wrote, "I'm the only one who could potentially do anything
illegal, but I'm not ashamed of anything I do, and I'm
willing to suffer any consequences I deserve."

RE: Memory card sizes
Dear Webby,
SD cards have become quite cheap, and hold so much more than
the silly CDs or the unpredictable CDR disks.
What size do you recommend?
Angela
Dear Angela
I use the cheap 2 GB chips, and occasionally 4 GB, when I
can't get 2 GB.
Anything bigger is too hard to inventory.
What all is on card #7 ?
Even if you print tiny return address labels with the main
topic, it still gets confusing.
Luckily it is easy enough to copy stuff back onto the
computer and from there onto other SD cards.
However, it scares me to think what all you could have on a
128 GB card, and then misplace it.
What all was on it?
Have FUN!

What is a Cat?
1. Cats do what they want.
2. They rarely listen to you.
3. They're totally unpredictable, except that they will
always
be scheming to make you feel guilty.
4. They whine when they are not happy.
5. When you want to play, they want to be alone.
6. When you want to be alone, they want to play.
7. They expect you to cater to their every whim.
8. They're moody.
9. They leave hair everywhere.
10. They drive you nuts and cost an arm and a leg.
Conclusion: Cats are tiny women in little fur coats.
What is a Dog?
1. Dogs lie around all day, sprawled on the most comfortable
piece of furniture in the house or yard.
2. They can hear a package of food opening half a block way,
but have selective hearing when you're in the same room.
3. They can look dumb and lovable all at the same time.
4. They growl when they are not happy.
5. When you want to play, they want to play.
6. When you want to be alone, they stalk off and pout.
7. They are great at begging.
8. They will love you forever if you pet them every day.
9. They leave their toys everywhere.
10. They can be trained.
Conclusion: Dogs are tiny men in little fur coats.

Using Leftover Pieces of Soap
By Nana Lee [6 Posts, 3 Comments]
I keep those slivers of soap in my sewing box. The skinny,
thin slivers work great for marking my seam, or to make an X
on the material. It washes off so easily. I've used it for
crafts, or for sewing.
It is also good to rub over itchy seams made by thick thread
or those itchy tags. Just rub it over the itchy spot and it
smooths it where it doesn't irritate your skin.

Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the
Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in
now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to
Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. So
what else would you like to be?"
The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle,
soaring above the Rocky Mountains."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and off flies the first priest.
The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks,
"Will any of this week 'count', St. Peter?"
"No, I told you the computer's down. There's no way we can
keep track of what you're doing."
"In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted
to be a stud."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears.
A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St.
Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble
locating them?" He asks.
"The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's
somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the eagles. But the
second one could prove to be more difficult."
"Why?" asketh the Lord.
"He's on a snow tire, somewhere in Tasmania."

The CIA loses track of one of its operatives, and so calls in
one of their top spy hunters.
The CIA boss says, "All I can tell you is that his name is
Murphy and that he's somewhere in Ireland. If you think
you've located him, tell him the code words,
'The weather forecast calls for mist in the morning.'
If it's really him, he'll answer, 'Yes, and for mist at noon
as well.'"
So the spy hunter goes to Ireland and stops in a pub in
Dublin. He says to the bartender, "Maybe you can help me. I'm
looking for a guy named Murphy."
The bartender replies, "You're going to have to be more
specific because, around here, there are lots of guys named
Murphy.
There's Murphy the Baker, who runs the pastry shop on the
next block. There's Murphy the Banker, who's president of
our local savings bank. There's Murphy the Blacksmith, who
works at the stables. And, as a matter of fact, my name is
Murphy, too."
Hearing this, the spy hunter figures he might as well try the
code words on bartender, so he says, "The weather forecast
calls for mist in the morning."
The bartender replies, "Oh, you're looking for Murphy the
Spy. He lives right down the street. He usually doesn't come
in here till around 8 PM, but he is on vacation in Honduras.
Try any of the hotels in Tegucigulpa that have topless
waitresses during Happy Hour."

In a small town in the US, there is a rather sizable factory
that hires only married men. Concerned about this, a local
woman called on the manager and asked him,
"Why is it you limit your employees to married men?
Is it because you think women are weak, dumb,
cantankerous...or what?"
"Not at all, Ma'am," the manager replied. "It is because
our employees are used to obeying orders, are accustomed
to being shoved around, know how to keep their mouths
shut,
and don't pout when I yell at them."

A former city mayor has admitted raping a four-year-old girl
but claimed the victim was a "willing participant", it has
been reported.
Richard Keenan, who has described himself in the past as a
"dedicated" Christian, is facing multiple counts of rape and
attempted rape of a child.
The case has shocked the small city of Hubbard in Ohio,
United States, where Keenan served as mayor in 2010 and 2011.
He is due to stand trial in April next year.
But prosecutors filed documents on Monday claiming Keenan has
made detailed admissions to the alleged offences to his
wife, a social worker, his brother and sister-in-law.
Confessing to his crimes, Keenan said the abuse took place
over a three-year-period but claimed the victim "initiated"
sex, the Youngstown Vindicator reports.
He also spoke of the abuse during group discussions at a
hospital, and later checked himself into a psychiatric clinic
because he was suicidal.
A judge will now have to decide whether Keenan's alleged
admissions can be heard by a jury, or will be ruled
inadmissable.
Under local state law, a wife can testify against her spouse
if he or she decides.

"Let's all bow our heads and pray."
Immediately, the group bowed their heads to pray...except

Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cups
By StellaBell [183 Posts, 171 Comments]
These delicious and healthy breakfast cups are perfect for
someone who needs to eat breakfast on the run. They are moist
in the middle with a crunchy white chocolate topping.
Somewhere in between a bowl of oatmeal and a muffin.
Prep Time: 10
Cook Time: 17 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Yield: 18
Ingredients:
3 cups old fashioned oats
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup mashed ripe banana
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups milk
mini white chocolate chips for topping
(optional) dried cranberries
Steps:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
In a seperate bowl mix wet ingredients, stirring the milk in
last.
Add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients.
Stir well. The mixture will be really soupy and that is okay.
Grease muffin tins.
Scoop mixture into the muffin tins, making sure that there is
a good mix of wet and dry in each tin. These will not puff up
much so you can fill them pretty full.
Add a layer of mini white chocolate chips to the top. At the
request of my 4 year old I also added dried cranberries to
some of them. Although I much prefered them without.
Cook for 17-22 minutes.
Let cool a bit in the tins before placing on a cooling rack
to cool completely. Store in the fridge.

Melvin was a chaplain in a university residence hall. He
was supposed to uphold all of the school rules, which include
a ban on pets. That changed when a kitten adopted him.
The freshmen in his dorm kept his secret. They covered for
him by calling the kitten "the Book,"
One morning as he was leaving the dorm with the kitten in a
beer case, a student stopped him and asked,
"Where are you taking the Book?"
He exlained that he was taking the kitten to the vet.
"She's getting neutered today," he told him.
"Hmmm," the student responded, "no sequels."

West Virginian put out cigarette in her boyfriend's eye
Cindy Jean Underwood, the 39-year-old West Virginian is
locked up on $10,000 bail after she allegedly put out a
cigarette in her boyfriend’s eye, according to court records.
The attack, cops say, occurred Monday as Underwood and Jeremy
Hughes were arguing in the home they share in St. Albans, a
city in Kanawha County.
As the pair squabbled, Underwood jammed a lit cigarette into
her beau’s eye, police charge. When cops arrived at the
residence in response to a destruction of property complaint,
they summoned an ambulance, which transported Hughes to a
local hospital for treatment of an injury to his left eye.
Hughes complained to police that he "did not have sight in
his eye."
Pictured above, Underwood--who is facing a felony malicious
wounding charge--is being held at the South Central Regional
Jail in Charleston. She is scheduled for a September 22
preliminary hearing.

RE: Saving to CD
Dear Webby,
I have some text and some pictures that are of historical
value and I would like to store them on a CD-R. What should I
look for as a CD-R or they all pretty much the same?
Bill
Dear Bill
Just about any CD burner will do for that.
You can even get CD + DVD burners.
Most come with pretty decent burning software
included on a CD.
Burning CD's used to be a bit of a nightmare and
almost a gamble whether it worked or not.
Nowadays you just drag stuff to the CD. Windows
then spools that stuff up somewhere and when you
try to remove the CD or right-click on it's title, it ask
if you want to burn the files to the CD.
Click OK, and it will do it.
You can even use SD (camera) chips. The old ones up to
2 GB for XP machines and older cameras are often given
away free as door prizes, or sold very cheaply.
Bigger ones are available up to 128 GB.
I find that a bit ridiculous, unless you want to back
up your whole computer.
For projects like yours I would recommend 2 or 4 GB
chips.
They last longer than CDs and DVDs and never get scratched.
The downside is that the camera chips are so small and not
easy to write their titles or content onto them. You have
to print tiny labels and stick them on, and instead of shoe
boxes full of CDs and DVDs, you now need a small business
card box to store them, so that you don't misplace and lose
them.
Have FUN!

Bunny and Bob, two frequent users of a chat room,
discovered that they had a lot in common. Eventually, they
abandoned the chat room for a more intimate correspondence.
After months of virtual kinkiness, the two decided to meet
each other face-to-face at a small cafe.
Bunny arrived a little late. One customer, a short, frail
man with an eye patch, sat at the back of the cafe.
"Are you Bob?" asked Bunny.
"Yes I am," said Bob.
"Unbelievable!" Bunny exclaimed. "You told me that you were
tall, dark and handsome."
"How do you think I feel?" Bob asked, his face turning red.
"You told me that you were skinny, blonde, and... female!"

While my friend was working as a receptionist for an eye
surgeon, a very angry woman stormed up to her 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
not mine, but a different one that's cheap-looking and ugly!"
"I think" explained the surgeon gently, "that means your
cataract operation was a success."

They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's
hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.
Secret service guys start to launch a boat, but President
Bush waves them off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll take care of
this. Don't worry."
Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water
and walks out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over and
picks it up, then walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard.
He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

Florida Woman trashed Wendys eatery over
unsatisfactory drive-thru grub
A Florida woman was arrested Saturday night after storming
into a Wendy’s and trashing the restaurant because she was
unhappy with the food she had received at the drive-thru
window, police report.
Investigators say that Chianti Gipson, 24, placed an order at
a Wendy’s in Seminole around 6:30 PM Saturday, but she was
“dissatisfied with the food ordered.”
According to court records, Gipson is a carreer criminal with
a rap sheet, that includes arrests for battery on a pregnant
woman; marijuana possession; aggravated assault with a motor
vehicle; discharging a firearm in public; and possession of
counterfeit currency.
Gipson, cops say, began arguing with Scott Anthony Bui, a
Wendy’s manager who eventually closed the drive-thru window
while Gipson was parked outside.
Seen above, Gipson then got out of her vehicle and “began
verbally engaging the victim” inside Wendy’s. According to
court filings, Gipson began “flipping and pushing items off
the counter” and “deliberately splashed pink lemonade onto
[Bui’s] face/chest area.”
Gipson caused about $100 in damages to a display table and a
metal iced tea dispenser, noted cops, who added that her
outburst "disrupted diners and staff" at the restaurant.
Gipson, a St. Petersburg resident, was arrested for battery,
criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. She was released
from jail Sunday morning after posting $1000 bail on the
misdemeanor counts.

RE: Flat digital pictures
Dear Webby,
The flash pictures from my digital camera all turn out flat
and boring. What's the trick to make them look more
realistic?
Silvia
Dear Silvia
The trick is not to use the built in flash. If you absolutely
have to use a flash, use a remote flash and hold the remote
flash at the end of an outstretched arm.
What I found better than a remote flash is a 500 Watt quartz
halogen work light. They come in sturdy, weatherproof
housings with a safety grill in front and cost around $12-
$15.
Set them up to the side and a bit higher than the camera,
and set the camera to NOT use flash.
The pictures have excellent contrast and a slightly warmer
tone than flash, which usually is a lot more flattering than
the cold hard light of a flash.
Since most digital cameras don't need as much light as a
film camera, you can use a regular dimmer switch to turn
the brightness down to just the right mood. At about half
dimmed down the effect is as if the room was lit by just
candles.
Have FUN!

The U.S.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides) as a combat vessel
carried 48,600 gallons of fresh water for her crew of 475
officers and men. This was sufficient to last six months of
sustained operations at sea. She carried no evaporators
(fresh water distillers).
However, let it be noted that according to her log,
"On July 27, 1798, the U.S.S. Constitution sailed from Boston
with a full complement of 475 officers and men,
48,600 gallons of fresh water, 7,400 cannon shot,
11,600 pounds of black powder and 79,400 gallons of rum."
Her mission: "To destroy and harass English shipping."
Making Jamaica on 6 October, she took on 826 pounds of
flour and 68,300 gallons of rum.
Then she headed for the Azores, arriving there 12 November.
She provisioned with 550 pounds of beef and 64,300 gallons
of Portuguese wine.
On 18 November, she set sail for England.
In the ensuing days she defeated five British men-of-war and
captured and scuttled 12 English merchantmen, salvaging only
the rum aboard each.
By 26 January, her powder and shot were exhausted.
Nevertheless, and though unarmed, she made a night raid up
the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. Her landing party captured a
whiskey distillery and transferred 40,000 gallons
of single malt Scotch aboard by dawn.
Then she headed home.
The U.S.S. Constitution arrived in Boston on 20 February
1799, with no cannon shot, no food, no powder, NO rum, NO
wine, NO whiskey and 38,600 gallons of stagnant water.
It seems that instead of chaplains, psychiatrists and similar
spiritual counsellors they took their spiritual counselling
mostly in liquid form.

Fugitive Learns The Hard Way Not To Post ‘Wanted’ Picture
On Facebook
Florida cops tracked down and arrested a fugitive after he
used a “wanted” poster featuring his mug shot as his Facebook
profile picture.
Stuart Police Department officers on Tuesday detained 42-
year-old Mack Yearwood, who’d been on the lam for 11 months
for violating his probation on two battery charges.
“If you are wanted by the police, it’s probably not a good
idea to use the ‘Wanted of the Week’ poster of yourself as
your profile pic,” the department posted online the following
day.
On Tuesday, Stuart Police caught up with Mr. Yearwood and
arrested him with two outstanding warrants. While he was
taken into custody, he asked to put on a pair of jeans that
were located on the floor beside him. Mr. Mack must have
forgotten that his bag of marijuana was still in the pocket.
Mr. Yearwood also picked up an additional charge of
possession of cannabis under 20 grams.
Yearwood was arrested over the two probation violations
following an alleged battery incident at a Stuart home late
Monday.
The alleged victim identified Yearwood, who’d already fled
the scene by the time the cops had arrived, as the suspect.
Investigators then discovered that Citrus County Sheriff’s
Office had been seeking him on the two outstanding warrants
since October 2015.
“The patrol guys, to look where he was and for some
intelligence, they went to his Facebook page,” Stuart Police
Cpl. Brian Bossio told ABC News. “They discovered that he
used his wanted poster for his Facebook profile.”
Police used information from his page to arrest Yearwood over
the two warrants at his brother’s home. The investigation
into Monday’s alleged incident is ongoing, and he has not
been charged in that case.
He does, however, face an additional cannabis possession
charge after a bag of weed allegedly fell out of his pants
during his arrest. Yearwood has not entered a plea on that
count and remains in custody at the Martin County Jail.

Pizza Dough Empanadas
By attosa [239 Posts, 538 Comments]
Craving meat and cheese empanadas the other day, with no time
or ingredients to make my own dough, I grabbed some ready
made pizza dough. With leftover chicken, I made these in the
toaster oven. So good!
Prep Time: 20
Cook Time: 20
Total Time: 40
Yield: 12 empanadas
Ingredients:
1 lb pizza dough (I used Rhodes, they come in preformed mini
balls)
2 cups chicken, cooked & chopped
1 small hot pepper
1 tomato
1 onion
2 tsp oil
1 Tbsp garlic salt
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup cilantro
1 cup shredded cheese
flour for dusting
1 egg yolk
1 tsp water
Steps:
Preheat oven to 400F Cover dough with plastic while making
filling. Chop onion, tomato and pepper.
Add oil to pan and heat to medium high heat. Cook onion,
tomato and pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic salt, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
Add cooked chicken and cilantro. Cook for a couple minutes.
Remove from heat.
Lightly flour work surface and roll out dough to 1/4 inch
thickness.
Take a 5 or 6 inch round cookie cutter, glass or bowl, and
cut the dough into circles.
Flatten the disks gently with rolling pin.
Sprinkle each disc with cheese and 2 Tbsp of the filling.
Fold dough over in half to enclose filling.
Seal the edges with a fork. Repeat on the rest of the
empanadas.
In a small bowl, mix together egg yolk and 1 tsp water to
make an egg wash.
Transfer empanadas to a baking sheet and brush the top sides
with egg wash.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool for 10
minutes before serving.

He decided to go fishing and he had to take

"I'll never do that again!" he told his mother

"Oh, next time I'm sure she'll be quiet and
not scare the fish away," his mother said.
The boy said, "It wasn't that. She ate all

Trisha was summoned to court to appear as a witness in a

"Where were you the night of August 24th?"
"Objection!" said the defense attorney. "Irrelevant!"
"Oh, that's like OK, you know," Trisha called from the
witness stand. "I don't, like mind, you know, like answering
that question."
"I object!" the defense said again.
"No, really," Trisha said. "I'll, like, answer, you know."
The judge ruled: "If the witness insists on answering,
there is no reason for the defense to object."
So the prosecutor repeated the question:

Rhonda Pasek, 50,
James Acord, 47,
East Liverpool,
Ohio
Ohio duo overdosed in traffic, with child in car.
Woman's son, 4, was seated in rear of SUV
during traffic stop
In an effort to highlight the heroin epidemic
gripping the country, an Ohio police department has released
photos showing an overdosed couple sitting in a vehicle while
the unconscious passenger’s four-year-old son looked on from
the back seat.
According to a police report, a cop Wednesday afternoon
spotted a Ford Explorer “weaving back and forth” across the
roadway in East Liverpool, a city bordering Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
When the officer subsequently approached the SUV--which had
drifted to a stop--he noted that driver James Acord’s head
was “bobbing back and forth” and his “speech was almost
unintelligible.”
Acord, 47, said that he was transporting his front seat
passenger, Rhonda Pasek, to the hospital, reported Officer
Kevin Thompson, who added that the 50-year-old Pasek was
“completely unconscious and turning blue.” Pasek’s son was in
a car seat behind his mother, who was slumped over.
Acord himself “eventually went completely unconscious,” noted
Thompson, who sought to “keep [Pasek’s] airway open” until
rescue workers arrived. EMS workers subsequently treated
Acord and Pasek with “several rounds” of the drug Narcan,
which “is commonly used to reverse an opiate overdose.”
The couple regained consciousness and were transported to a
local hospital for further treatment. A search of the vehicle
turned up a folded piece of paper containing a “pink powdery
substance” that was sent to a crime lab for analysis.
Acord, charged with child endangerment and driving under the
influence, yesterday pleaded guilty to both counts and was
sentenced to a year in jail. Pasek, who is locked up in the
Columbiana County jail, is facing child endangerment and
disorderly conduct/intoxication charges. Court records list
separate addresses in New Cumberland, West Virginia for Acord
and Pasek.
Pasek’s son, who was wearing a dinosaur shirt, was placed in
the custody of child welfare officials.
In a statement, East Liverpool officials said that the
release of the overdose photos was “necessary to show the
other side of this horrible drug. We feel we need to be a
voice for the children caught up in this horrible mess. This
child can't speak for himself but we are hopeful his story
can convince another user to think twice about injecting this
poison while having a child in their custody.”

RE: Portrait versus Landscape
Dear Webby,
English is not my first language, and I have never understood
what "Landscape" and "Portrait" mean, when it comes to
printing. Can you explain please?
Thanks
BB
Dear BB
Those terms come actually from the ancient museums and
picture galleries. A pitcure with a formal portrait of a
person standing was always narrow and tall, often from floor
to ceiling.
A landscape picture was always wide, but not very high.
Word processing, for example letters, is done in portrait
mode.
Accounting, because there are often many columns to show,
is usually done in landscape mode. You still feed the paper
into the printer normally, you just turn it sideways to read
it.
Have FUN!

My engineer husband is meticulous but mildmannered.
While our new house was being built, he would leave notes
for the workmen, politely calling their attention to mistakes
or oversights.
Two weeks before we were to move in, the floors still
were not finished, the bathrooms not tiled, nor were
necessary fixtures installed. I was sure that the work
would never be completed in time.
However, on moving day, we found that the house was
ready to receive us.
Curious as to how this miracle had been accomplished,
I went and checked where my husband always left his notes
for the workmen.
Posted prominently on the living room wall was my husband's
last note: "After September 1, all work will be supervised by
my 5 children and my very impatient wife."

Easy Ricotta Pancakes
By attosa [238 Posts, 538 Comments]
This is my version of silky, delicious ricotta pancakes
without having to separate the eggs to create volume. They
have become a favourite with everyone I've served them to.
It's hard to go back to regular pancakes after a taste of
these, and now, they're not so hard to make!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Yield: 8 pancakes
Ingredients:
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
butter/oil for cooking
Steps:
Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
Mix ricotta, milk, eggs, and vanilla in another bowl until
very smooth.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until
combined.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Melt some butter
or a tiny bit of oil in the pan and swirl to cover surface.
Pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup amounts per pancake.
Cook the pancakes for about 3 minutes per side. They should
be golden.
Serve with maple syrup. I prefer fresh lemon juice and
powdered sugar.

Thanks to Red for this one:
Some time back, my cousin, Steve moved to a new apartment.
Steve had a business commitment out of town that weekend and
so I and my three brothers all chipped in to help his wife
move the furniture. The new apartment was on the third floor.
We hauled everything up the three flights of stairs and
around the tight corner through the kitchen put them where
they belonged.
Finally, we came to the large couch. After hauling it up
three
flights to the top of the stairs, we discovered it would not
go around the corner through the kitchen. We took it back out
into the hall and turned it and tried again. It still
wouldn't fit.
Finally all of us boosted the couch from the back of the
truck up the side of the building. From the third floor, we
passed the couch up and over the railing of the tiny balcony
and in through the sliding doors into the living room. We
all collapsed on the couch to catch our breath and made a
pact that we would not tell Steve how we got the couch into
the apartment. "The next time he moves," we conspired, "he
will have to figure out how to get the couch out of there on
his own. It will be our little secret. He will have to take
a saw to it!"
As luck would have it, Steve found a place he liked better
about three months later. It really was a busy weekend at
work, and none of us were available to help move. We waited
eagerly to hear from Steve but there was nothing. Finally,
after several days of waiting, I asked Steve, "So, did you
get everything moved OK?"
"Sure," he replied.
"Did you run into any problems?"
"No, none at all."
"Now, wait a minute, we had to drag the couch up the
outside of the building and haul it over the railing! How did
you get it out of the living room? It didn't fit through the
kitchen!"
Steve looked at me with total disbelief and said,
"Geez, you idiots, the legs unscrew!"

A few years ago I went to visit my brother who was stationed
in Germany. I assumed that enough Germans would speak
English so that I could at least get around. But I found that
many people spoke only their native tongue - including the
ticket inspector on the train. He punched my ticket, then
chatted cordially for a bit, making gestures like a windmill.
I just nodded from time to time to show him that I was
interested.
When he had gone, an American woman soldier in the
compartment leaned forward and asked if I spoke German.
"No," I confessed.
"Then that explains," she said, "why you didn't bat an eyelid
when he told you that you were on the wrong train going in
the wrong direction."

Good Morning, ,
Today is Sunday, Sept 11
What did you do 15 years ago today?
I was working quietly, and had the radio going,
when they interrupted the music with the news of the
first plane hitting the WTC.
Then every phone started ringing and a couple dozen Skype
windows popped. I missed most of the news on the radio
juggling the phones, but then the news services on the
Internet started showing video.
I realized that the world had changed.
I was supposed to fly to Nashville the next day. Well,
on Sept 12 all flights were grounded. My flight was changed
to Sept 13. I was on time, and in the plane, but the pilot
chickened and hid. They had to find another pilot for the
flight to Toronto. That caused me to miss my connection to
Nashville and I had to overnight in Toronto. So did a lot of
other people and all hotels near the airport were full. They
shipped me by cab an hour away from there to a hotel, that
did not have internet except on one machine in the lobby with
two dozen people waiting in line. So I called Earthlink for
their local dial-up number, and then got online that way.
Next day, on the flight to Nashville they did not let me take
my carry-on onto the plane. They took it from me while I was
abolut to enter the plane. Then, while I was sitting and
looking out the window, I watched as some ape swung my
carryon upside down onto the roller at the bottom of the
conveyor belt and listened for any tinking sounds.
My laptop was on the top in the carry-on.
You can imagine how I felt about that.
When I got to Nashville I was first to get out and walk out
through an empty, echoing airport. Eery! Just my footsteps
echoing.
When boarding a plane again three days later there were
heavily armed soldiers all over the airport. I stood beside
one at the entrance for a while. He was about 18, and scared,
and seemed to appreciate my moral support. He knew that if
something happened, it would be more than just moral support.
The world had definitely changed. And not for the better.
Have FUN!

Man assaulted girlfriend with hammer after she refuses
to let him tattoo his name on her chest
Police say a Sioux City man assaulted his girlfriend with a
hammer Friday evening after she refused to let him tattoo his
name on her chest.
According to court documents, Jonathan Michael Boggs, 28, of
Sioux City, was going to put a chest tattoo on a woman he had
been in a relationship with for more than a month and told
her he wanted to tattoo his name on her chest. After she told
him no, an argument ensued.
Documents say the woman attempted to leave the house several
times, but Boggs stopped her, grabbed a hammer and threatened
to kill her. He then assaulted her using the hammer.
Police were called to the residence around 6:30 p.m. to meet
the woman. Documents say police later found Boggs on the
front porch with the hammer at his feet. A witness inside the
house confirmed the assault to authorities.
Boggs was charged with aggravated domestic assault and going
armed with intent. He is being held in the Woodbury County
Jail on $10,000 bond. His next court date is Sept. 13.

Dear Delores
That seems to be popular with semi-literate yuppies.
Nobody knows why for sure.
Maybe they are scared that links might overpower their self

It's easy to fix, though:
Click on the 3 horizontal bars for the Setup menu

fonts & colors
colors (near the bottom)
Put the checkmark onto "Underline Links".
That fixes links usually even if the webmaster is an idiot

Creative Birdbaths
By ~gloria [97 Posts, 155 Comments]
If you enjoy watching a robin splash about in a birdbath and
want to help our feathered friends to a cool drink during
these hot summer and fall days, you don't have to spend a
fortune on fancy, high-priced garden store models.
Keep and eye open for the bases at garage and estate sales,
even thrift stores, then get creative with the bowl portion
of your birdbath.
Keep in mind, it's good to offer differing depths of water in
the bowls for various sizes of birds. At my house, the
robins
like something deep and they can empty it in a day with all
their vigorous splashing. While the timid chickadees and
goldfinches prefer something shallow.
The kitchen is one of my favorite places to find birdbath
bowls. Some good choices are pie plates, casserole dishes,
and serving bowls. The saucers for underneath terra-cotta
pots is another great idea. I've even used a up-turned light
fixture.
You can get creative with the base, too. I've used an old
stand for a vintage ash tray (garage sale), a large table leg
(salvaged), and tree stumps.
Hope this kick starts your creative juices, the birds will
thank you. And you'll receive hours of enjoyment watching
them.

Kansas
KCK bank robber, 70, chooses prison over home and wife
A 70-year-old man charged with robbing a Kansas City, Kan.,
bank said he did it because he preferred a jail cell over
living with his wife.
Lawrence John Ripple is charged in federal court with the
Friday afternoon robbery of the Bank of Labor at 756
Minnesota Ave.
According to court documents, Ripple handed a teller a note
that read, “I have a gun, give me money.”
The teller complied.
But instead of fleeing, Ripple took the money and then took a
seat in the bank lobby, according to the documents.
When a bank security guard approached him, Ripple told the
guard, “I’m the guy you’re looking for.”
The guard took the money from Ripple and held him until
police arrived, which wasn’t long, because Kansas City, Kan.,
police headquarters is on the same block.
When he was questioned later by investigators, Ripple told
him that he and his wife had argued and he “no longer wanted
to be in that situation,” according to the documents.
“Ripple wrote out his demand note in front of his wife … and
told her he’d rather be in jail than at home,” an FBI agent
wrote in the affidavit filed in support of the robbery
charge.

He was arrested just after he crossed the border with
Romania, roughly 20 miles from his home town of Kanjia,
Serbia, local media reported.
He told police: "All I wanted to do was put at least one

Pork and Vegetable Harvest Stew
By Jess [160 Posts, 815 Comments]
My weekly organics box included lots of late summer veggies
like zucchini, corn and potatoes. I decided to make a hearty
stew for dinner. There were various hot peppers included this
week, too. I didn't know exactly what they were, so I just
chopped them up and threw them in. The stew starts off with a
relatively sweet flavor, but has a nice kick at the end.
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 2 Hours
Total Time: 2.5 Hours
Yield: 8
Ingredients:
As I was working with fresh organic veggies, I had a lot of
chopping and prep involved. You could save some time by using
frozen veggies instead of fresh. I also cut off a section of
a pork loin that I'm planning on cooking later in the week.
You could use pork chops or any other type of meat you might
have handy. I did use Better than Bouillon chicken base. I
like it better than bouillon cubes and I didn't have any
liquid broth handy.
1-2 lb pork
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 lb potatoes, chopped
1 bunch carrots (5 large), sliced
5 peppers*, chopped and deseeded
2 cups corn kernels
1 qt chicken stock or bouillon
1 bunch Italian parsley, chopped
1 bunch kale, chopped
salt, pepper and Italian seasoning, to taste
Ingredients for Pork and Vegetable Harvest Stew
*Use whatever pepper your family enjoys. I used a combination
of hot and sweet ones. It would be also good with regular
bell peppers.
Steps:
Cut pork into cubes.
Brown the pork with oil in a hot stockpot or Dutch oven. Add
salt and pepper. Set aside.
Add more oil to the pot and cook chopped onions and garlic
until they start to brown.
Add corn, peppers and the cooked pork, including any juices.
Add zucchini and continue to cook for a couple of minutes.
Add chicken broth, carrots and potatoes and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover pot. Cook on low for 1-
2 hours, until the potatoes and carrots are soft.
Add kale and parsley. Continue on simmer for 10 minutes or
so.
Add salt, pepper and Italian seasonings. Adjust the taste to
your liking. If the soup is too sweet, add in a bit of apple
cider or white wine vinegar to correct it. I also used a bit
of Worchestershire sauce to add flavor.

My Dad and I were talking the other night about love and

what marriage to my Mom would be like. The minister asked
my Mom, "Do you take this man to be your husband." And she
said, "I do."
Then the minister asked my Dad, "Do you take this woman to
be your wife," and my Mom apparently said,
"He better, if he knows what's good for him!."

A troop of Boy Scouts was being used as "guinea pigs" in a
test of emergency systems. A mock earthquake was staged,
and the Scouts impersonated wounded persons who were to
be picked up and cared for by the emergency units.
One Scout was supposed to lie on the ground and await his
rescuers, but the first-aid people got behind schedule, and
the Scout lay "wounded" for several hours.
When the first-aid squad arrived where the casualty was
supposed to be, they found nothing but a brief note:
"Have bled to death and gone home.
I will be back after supper."

A member of the flock snicked at the preacher's snafu, raised
his hand and said, "That's not much of a trick. I could do
that."
The minister didn't respond. However, the next Sunday he
decided to repeat the text. This time he did it properly,
"And they fed five thousand men with five loaves of bread and
two fishes." Smiling, the minister said to the noisy man,
"Could you do that, Mr. Perkins?"
The member of the flock said, "I sure could."
"How would you do it?"
"With all the food I had left over from last Sunday!"

Thanks to Kris for this classic:
A buddy of mine was flying from Seattle to San Francisco.
Unexpectedly, the plane stopped in Sacramento along the way.
The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay,
and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the
plane would re-board in 50 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was
blind. My buddy had noticed him as he walked by and could
tell the man was blind because his seeing eye dog lay
quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout
the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this
very flight before because the pilot approached him, and
calling him by name, said, “Keith, we're in Sacramento
for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch
your legs?" The blind guy replied, "No thanks, but maybe
my dog would like to stretch his legs."
Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a
complete quiet stand still when they looked up and saw the
pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye dog! The pilot
was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered.
They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying
to change airlines!

Oklahoma mother, daughter arrested after
incestuous marriage
A mother and daughter from Oklahoma are accused of having an
incestuous marriage.
Patricia Spann, 43, and Misty Spann, 25, were married in
March 2016 in Comanche County, court records show.
Police say Patricia is Misty’s biological mother.
Investigators with the Department of Human Services
discovered the illegal relationship in August while
investigating the children who were inside the Spanns’ home.
Misty and her two brothers were raised by a grandparent when
Patricia lost custody of them, an arrest affidavit states.
The DHS investigator told authorities that Patricia and Misty
reunited two years ago. Patricia told officials she didn’t
think she was breaking any laws by marrying Misty because her
name is no longer listed on her daughter’s birth
certificate.
A warrant was issued for their arrests on Friday.
Since then, Patricia and Misty have both been arrested and
booked into the Stephens County Jail for incest, a detective
told KFOR.
Bond was set at $10,000 for each of the Spann women. They’re
due in court next month.
In Oklahoma, incest is a felony, and if convicted, is
punishable up to 10 years in prison.
Court records show this isn’t the first time Patricia has
married one of her own children.
She also married one of her sons in 2008.
However, court records show that marriage was annulled in
March 2010.

Unless you use MailWasher Pro, the fake ones look more

WITH MailWasher PRO, the fake ones show just a few

In the MailWasher Pro Preview it's so obviously spam that
even your pet rock could tell at the first glance that it is
spam.
In MailWasher PRO there is a preview that shows what is
actually hidden under legitimate looking fake text. That
makes it super easy to tell if you should actually download

5 Ingredient Apple Tart
By attosa [237 Posts, 538 Comments]
his apple tart is so easy to make. The great thing is you
don't need any fancy equipment or fluted tart pans or
techniques. Just throw everything in a pan and put it in the
oven!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
5 medium apples
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 stick cold butter
2 Tbsp milk
Steps:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Move oven rack to lowest position.
Place flour in a big bowl. Chop up butter and use two forks
or a pastry cutter to mix the two until its a sand-like
texture.
Slowly add the milk while you mix the butter and flour until
it turns into dough.
Wrap in plastic and place dough in fridge for at least 30
minutes.
Pour your sugar into the bottom of the baking pan. I used a
dry 5 x 8 inch nonstick bundt pan.
Peel the apples, and cut into 12ths. It's best to use hard
apples with the least amount of juice, similar to Granny
Smith's.
Place the apples in rows on top of the sugar. Stack the rows
until your pan is full.
Remove the dough from the fridge and while it's still in
plastic, flatten it with a rolling pin until its the size of
the top of your pan full of apples. Check if the sizes match
by holding it over the pan.
When it's about the right size, cut the plastic off. You can
cut off any overhanging pieces to patch any holes.
Place the dough on your apples and tuck into the sides.
Bake in oven on lowest oven rack position for 40 minutes.
Remove from oven. Let cool for a few minutes. While it's
still warm, flip it over onto a large dish. Serve with cream,
if desired. :)

"Periodic Elements"
Valuable scientific data. Two proposed new additions to the
periodic table (from Chemistry class)elements:
Element Name: WOMAN
Symbol: WO
Atomic Weight: (don't even go there)
Physical properties: Generally round in form. Boils at nothing
and may freeze at any time. Melts whenever treated properly.
Very bitter if mishandled.
Chemical properties: Very active. Highly unstable. Possesses
strong affinity with gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones.
Volatile when left alone. Able to absorb great amounts of exotic
food. Turns slightly green when placed next to a shinier
specimen.
Usage: Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for
dispersion of wealth. Probably the most powerful income
reducing agent known.
Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands.
Element Name: MAN
Symbol: XY
Atomic Weight: (180+/-50)
Physical properties: Solid at room temperature, but gets bent out
of shape easily. Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. Difficult to
find a pure sample. Due to rust, aging samples are unable to
conduct electricity as easily as young samples.
Chemical properties: Attempts to bond with WO any chance it
can get. Also tends to form strong bonds with itself. Becomes
explosive when mixed with KD (Element: Child)for prolonged
period of time. Neutralize by saturating with alcohol.
Usage: None known. Possibly good methane source. Good
specimens are able to produce large quantities on command.
Caution: In the absence of WO, this element rapidly decomposes
and begins to smell.

One of my friends works in the customer service call center
of a national pager company. He deals with the usual
complaints regarding poor pager operation, as well as the
occasional crank caller demanding to be paged less often,
more often, or by more interesting people.
The best call came from a man who repeatedly complained that
he was being paged by "Lucille".
He was instructed that he would have to call her and tell her
to stop paging him.
"She don't never leave no number, so I can't call her back,"
he said. After three such calls, someone thought to ask how
he knew it was Lucille if she didn't leave a number.
"She leaves her name" was the reply. After establishing that
the customer had a numeric-only pager, the light bulb came
on.
"How does she spell her name?" the service rep asked.

"Excuse me sir... can you tell me anything about this rod
and reel?"
He says, "Ma'am I'm blind but if you will drop it on the
counter I can tell you everything you need to know about it
from the sound that it makes."
She didn't believe him, but dropped it on the counter anyway.
He said, "That's a 6' graphite rod with a Zebco 202 reel and
10 lb. test line. It's a good all around rod and reel and
it's $20.00".
She says, "That's amazing that you can tell all that just by
the sound of it dropping on the counter. I think it's what
I'm looking for so I'll take it."
He walks behind the counter to the register, and in the

then realizes that there is no way he could tell it was
her..being blind he wouldn't know that she was the only
person around.
He rings up the sale and says, "That will be $25.50."
She says, "But didn't you say it was $20.00?"
He replied, "Yes ma'am, the rod and reel is $20.00, the duck
call is $3.00, and the catfish stink bait is $2.50."

Felix Reagan,
Oak Bluffs,
Massachusetts
Burglar Doused Puppy In Purple Paint After
Breaking Into Massachusetts Residence
After breaking into a home on Martha’s Vineyard, a
Massachusetts man removed a four-month-old puppy from its
crate and then doused the animal in purple paint, according
to police who busted the man on a variety of criminal
charges.
Investigators allege that Felix Reagan burglarized a home in
Oak Bluffs Saturday afternoon and later stole an automobile
that he subsequently crashed.
The burglary victim, Tamara Gemme-Crawford, said that a
ground level window had been forced in and several items were
taken from her residence. Additionally, cops noted, “the
victim’s dog had been painted with purple paint.”
In a Facebook post directed at Reagan, Gemme-Crawford wrote
that, “you took my 4 mo. old puppy out of the safety of his
crate where he was no threat to you and poured paint all over
him, you put him outside in a strange area like a dirty shoe,
and for That I will NEVER forgive you !!”
When police received a description of the disheveled burglar
from a neighbor, they immediately suspected Reagan, who was
busted in June for a similar break-in. When cops located
Reagan, he was in possession of “prescription pills, a
driver’s license and credit cards” taken from the burglarized
home.
Reagan (seen above) was charged with breaking and entering,
auto theft, destruction of property, cruelty to animals,
narcotics possession, and assault on a police officer.
In her Facebook post, Gemme-Crawford called Reagan a “cruel
low life animal abuser,” and pledged, “I will be there in the
court to watch you cry like a baby when you are not allowed
to go home!!!!”
Gemme-Crawford's dog, a border collie named Grayson, was in
his crate in a closed, air-conditioned room. “He had water
and his toys and he was not a threat to anyone,” she said.
Gemme-Crawford surmised that the dog--who was not injured by
the paint--was barking since Reagan appeared to have given
the animal a bag of apple fritters before dousing him with
paint found in a cabinet. Reagan, Gemme-Crawford added, then
“threw him out the door.”

RE: Spreadsheet does not like data from WORD
Dear Webby,
When adding up columns in an old spreadsheet, after I pasted
data from a WORD doc, I get weird results. Also, I notice
that some of the numbers are not lined up the same way as the
others. How can I fix that ?
BF
Dear BF
Some of those numbers are not real numbers but just text.
If there was a space in front or the back when it was pasted,
then the spreadsheet treated it as text.
Just highlight the cell and retype the number. That is
usually faster than looking for an extra space in the front
OR back.
When the number lines up with the other numbers, then it will
count correctly.
Have FUN!

Cassie walked into a gift shop that sold religious items.
Near the cash register she saw a display of caps with WWJD
printed on all of them.
She was puzzled over what the letters could mean, but
couldn't figure it out, so she asked the clerk.
The clerk replied that the letters stood for "What Would
Jesus Do", and was meant to inspire people to not make rash
decisions, but rather to imagine what Jesus would do in the
same situation.
Cassie thought a moment and then replied,
"Well, I don't think Jesus would pay $17.95 for one of
these caps."

A man goes to see the doctor because he has a sore throat.
The nurse tells him to take all his clothes off and sit on
the bench in the hall. The man tries to protest, but the
nurse doesn't listen and just repeats the same orders then
leaves the area.
The man complies with her orders and joins another naked man
sitting on the bench. The man starts complaining to the man
already sitting there, that he only has a sore throat and
doesn't understand why he has to take all his clothes off.
The man who was already sitting on the bench nude, looks at
the other man and says
"You think that's bad, I'm just here to deliver the roofing

"Certainly not," said the Priest. "As penance, you must
return it to the one from whom you stole it."
"I tried," Brian sobbed, "but he refused. Oh, Father, what
should I do?"
"If what you say is true, then it is all right for you to
keep it for your family."
Thanking the Priest, Brian hurried off.
When confession was over, the Priest returned to his

Clearwater,
Florida
Florida woman thought she set her ex boyfriend's car
on fire, but it wasn't his.
Carmen Chamblee thought she was entitled to set her ex-
boyfriend's car on fire.
But there was just one little problem with her plan — the car
wasn't his. Whoops.
Newsy's partners at WFTS report 19-year-old Carmen Chamblee
was captured on surveillance video before and after she set
the Honda Accord's trunk ablaze on Aug. 27. Witnesses say
they saw her ride away from the scene on a bicycle.
But the Clearwater Police Department was able to identify her
and took her into custody.
Chamblee told police she thought the now-charred car was
owned by her former boyfriend.
The vehicle belonged to Thomas Jennings. He told WFTS it was
his roommate who discovered the car completely engulfed in
flames. "He came running into the house saying my car was on
fire. We ran out there. He had a pot of water trying to get
it to put it out, but the fire was too much," Jennings said.
Chamblee has been charged with second-degree arson and was
taken to Pinellas County Jail for booking.

Removing Gas Odor from Car Carpet
By Ethel Gerberick [6 Posts, 37 Comments]

For the removal of petroleum odors I have used brake cleaner
it will evaporate most petroleum based chemicals it gives off
a bad odor that will pass in a very short time. It evaporates
at very low temperatures but extremely good ventilation is a
must. Spot test an area for color fast and degradation.
Pros usually use Zorb-All (Sorb-All or any generic
equivalent) from any automotive parts store. It looks like
the original kitty litter used to. Zorb-All comes in BIG, but
light weight bags and is very cheap. It absorbs any petroleum
product, even sucks old oil from driveways and garage floors.
Just sprinkle it on, spread it and walk on it or pat it a
bit, let it sit overnight, and vacuum it up in the morning.
Stains and smells are gone. The gas or oil may have caused
some discoloration, but the Zorb-All doesn't discolor
anything.

Not too long ago a large seminar was held for ministers in
training.
Among the speakers were many well known motivational
speakers. One such boldly approached the podium and,
gathering the entire crowd's attention said,
"The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a
woman who wasn't my wife."
The crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, "And that
woman was my mother." The crowed burst into laugher and he
gave his speech, which went over well.
About a week later, one of the ministers, who had attended
the seminar decided to use that joke in his sermon. As he
shyly approached the pulpit one sunny Sunday, he tried to
rehearse the joke in his head. It was a bit foggy for him.
Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The greatest
years in my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was
not my wife!"
His congregation gasped. After standing there for almost 10
seconds trying to remember the second half of the joke, the
pastor finally blurted out, "...and I can't remember who she
was!"

Man's complaint to Ikea after testicle
gets trapped in shower stool is hilarious
A man's Facebook post has gone viral after he got his
genitals trapped in an Ikea stool while attempting to have a
sit down in the shower.
Photographer and politician Claus Jørstad, 45, struggles with
a bad knee and needs to sit down in the shower.
He purchased a red stool model called 'Marius' at his local
Ikea store to ensure he could be comfy while having his daily
wash. But things didn't quite go to plan when Claus sat down
on the chair and got an important body part stuck in its
holes.
After the painful incident, Claus wrote on Ikea's Norwegian
Facebook page to complain about the stool, and his hilarious
message has now been shared more than 13,000 times.
Ikea apologized. Apparently they had not expected such

RE: Free screensavers
Dear Webby,
I got a bunch of ads about free screen savers. Are they safe?
Thanks
Sal
Dear Sal
It's time to grow up.
You did not get any ads. You got SPAM.
You know that Spammers Lie.
Why would a spammer pay a few hundred dollars to send
spam to 100 Million people, to give them something for free ?
Because his "free screensaver" is his back door into your
computer.
Unless you like having a bunch of crooks controlling your
computer and using it behind your back for their nefarious
purposes, it would be wise to NOT give them a back door.
There are tons of decent screensavers available from
legitimate companies. There is absolutely no need to
endanger all your credit card and bank info and control
over your computer by dealing with spammers.
First answer this: Why do you think you need a screensaver?
To amuse your goldfish while you are sleeping?
I read that goldfish prefer the built in Mystique
screensaver.
Second: Modern monitors don't need screensavers. They don't
burn in the start menu and desktop like the old IBM greenies
did.
If you need a screensaver to cover up the x-rated yoga site,
that you like visiting, use the built in screen savers. Some
are quite good. You can also make your own. Put all the
pictures that you want to have in a slide show into one
folder, then RIGHT-click the desktop,
Personalize (at the bottom)
Screensaver (right bottom)
Photos
Settings
Browse to the folder with your amazing collection of sunsets
Select that, set the number of minutes of inactivity to wait
before it starts,
Apply
OK.
That is all there is to it.
You can even select your camera chip reader,
and change themes by simply inserting a different chip.
Change the theme from technical drawings to romantic forests
even faster than changing the settings.
With all that at your disposal for free, there is no need
to download security hazards.
Remember the nice little round clock you could use in the
right bottom corner? Genuine, from Windows.
Then they blocked it, because some hackers used it's code to
engineer a back door and built that into supposedly free
downloadable screensavers.
There was much howling and complaining when Microsoft
murdered and banned that clock. However, they did not give
in. After all, they are not in business to please you, and
don't want to get sued.
Most of the dwonloadable screensavers are a real threat. It
is best to just use the built in screensavers or make your
own.
Have FUN!

Sam and Mike are walking from religious service.
Sam wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while
praying.
Mike replies, "Why don't you ask Father Smith?"
So Sam goes up to Father Smith and asks,
"Father, may I smoke while I pray?"
But Father says, "No, my son, you may not. That's utter
disrespect to our religion."
Sam goes back to his friend and tells him what the good
Father told him.
Mike says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question.
Let me try."
And so Mike goes up to Father Smith and asks,
"Father, may I pray while I smoke?"
To which Father Smith eagerly replies,
"By all means, my son. By all means. Sure you can
pray while you smoke."

Black Eyed Peas with Ham
By lalala... [771 Posts, 103 Comments]
My mom's dad made black eyed peas when she was a child, and
she recently taught my daughter how to make this dish for a
school project. It is a family tradition to make black eyed
peas on New Years for good luck.
Black Eyed Peas with Ham
Ingredients:
3 cups ham, diced
1 lb dried black eyed peas, rinsed
1 medium onion
1/4 cup crumbled bacon
1 Tbsp canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano
salt, to taste
Steps:
Dice up ham and set aside.
Rinse and drain the back eyed peas.
Cook and crumble up bacon.
Dice onion and mince garlic.
Heat oil in a large pot, then add onion and garlic. Sauté
until translucent and tender.
Add ham and bacon. Brown ham slightly.
Add oregano and stir to combine.
Add black eyed peas and 4 cups of water.
Increase heat to HIGH and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat
to MED-HIGH. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes or until beans
are soft. Stir occasionally. Note: Add more water to keep
beans covered, if necessary.
Serve with rice and enjoy!

for someone to ask the time. He spots a guy carrying two
suitcases and sporting this fabulous hi-tech watch, so he
asks him for the time.
The guy replies "Sure, which country?"
The fella asks, "How many countries have you got?" to
which the man replies, "All the countries in the world!"
"Wow! That's a pretty cool watch you've got there."
"That's nothing," the man says. "This watch also has a
GPS facility, fax, e-mail and can even receive NTSC
television channels and display them on its miniature
active color matrix LCD screen!"
"Boy, that's incredible. I wish I had a watch like that one.
You wouldn't consider selling it by any chance?"
"Well, actually the novelty has worn off for me, so for $900,
if you want it, it's yours."
The watchless traveler can hardly whip out his checkbook
fast enough to hand over a check for $900.
The seller takes off the watch and gives it to him.
"Congratulations, here is you new hi-tech watch."
Then, handing the two suitcases over as well, he says,
"And here are the batteries."

I had been teaching my seventh-graders about World War II,

Expecting to see "the D-Day invasion" as the answer, I found

My friend's neighbor in New York had a beautiful black
cat, Felix, who spent his days outside and came indoors
at night. One cool October evening, he disappeared. The
neighbor searched for him in vain for several days. The
following spring, however, Feliz reappeared, looking
healthy and clean. She figured he's been out sowing his
wild oats. Everything was back to normal until that
autumn, when Felix disappeared again.
The next spring, he returned. Perplexed, my aunt's
friend began asking neighbors for clues. Finally, she
rang the bell of an older couple who lived down the
street.
"A black cat?" the woman said. "Oh, yes! My husband and
I hated to see him out in the cold, so we bought a cat
carrier. We take him to Florida with us every winter."

Nathan Weitzel,

Arapahoe,
Colorado
Dad Intentionally Crashes Into Several Cars at 75 MPH
with His 2-Year-Old Unbuckled in Car
Nathan Weitzel took his 2-year-old son Isaiah to a park to
play. But while the dad was watching him, he was plotting
the unthinkable.
Weitzel was devising ways he could kill his own son. Once an
idea hit him, he placed Isaiah into his car seat
'intentionally' unbuckled.
Then, the 29-year-old part time father did something that
would break the heart of any loving parent. He sped up to 75
miles per hour and crashed into multiple cars.
At the end of his vehicular assault, Weitzel ended up in a
stranger's driveway.
The stranger, Nancy Rosa, approached the totaled car to see
Weitzel elbowing Isaiah in the head. Rosa called 911
immediately.
Fortunately, Weitzel didn't get away from the scene before
police arrived. Fox 59 reported on the sickening reason
behind Weitzel's inexcusable actions:
When police arrived at the scene, Weitzel told them he was
trying to kill his son. Weitzel allegedly told investigators
“the reason he wanted to kill Isaiah was because being a
father was a big responsibility and he did not think he was
man enough to raise a child.”
According to the police report, he had used cocaine earlier
in the day.
As a result of Weitzel's crime, Isaiah needed surgery to
place five screws in his knee, ripped a muscle in his neck,
and required more than 20 stitches on his head.
Isaiah has recovered to the point that he doesn't need to be
on oxygen and was able to return home, where he is now
lying
in a body cast.
His father has been charged with the following:
Attempted murder
Child abuse
Criminal mischief
Possession of a control substance, and
Vehicular assault
Isaiah's mom, Nancy Lopez, said of Weitzel's actions:
"He's not in a place that he should be. And he needs to be
in jail for a long time."
As for little Isaiah, he's going to be in recovery for a
while. It's going to be two months until he can walk again,
but when he does, all signs point to the fact that he'll be
climbing around and playing again. And as his mom says,
"He's a really good climber."

Drinking Straw Brush for Electric Fans
By Robyn
We use fans at our house, and I needed something to be able
to help keep them in optimum condition. I made a stiff
little brush out of a drinking straw, and now I can use that
brush to keep debris from the front and especially the back
of the fans.
A stiff 3" bristle sidewalk broom
without the handle works quite well. If you spray the
grilles afterward with furniture polish, dust won't stick
to them.
The same trick works well on AC grilles too.

Thanks to Chris for a nice old classic. The first time I saw
this one, the story teller claimed that it was true and
mentioned a certain zoo in Tennessee.
A small Wild Animal Park acquired a very rare species of
gorilla. Within a few weeks, the gorilla, who was a female,
became very difficult to handle.
Upon examination, the park veterinarian determined the
problem. The gorilla was in heat and to make matters worse,
there was no male gorilla available. Reflecting on their
problem, the park administrator thought of Eddie, a part-
time intern, who was responsible for cleaning the animal's
cages.
Eddie, had little sense, but possessed ample ability. The
park administrator thought they might have a solution. Eddie
was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to
mate with the gorilla for $500.00?
Eddie showed some interest, but said he would have to think
the matter over carefully.
The following day, Eddie announced that he would accept
their offer, but only under the following four conditions.
"First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her on the
lips."
The park administrator quickly agreed to this condition.
"Second," Eddie said, "you must never tell anyone about
this."
The park administrator again readily agreed to this
condition.
"Third," Eddie said, "I want all the offspring to be raised
Southern Baptist."
Once again the administrator agreed.
And last of all Eddie stated "You've got to give me another
week to come up with the $500.00."

"Your Honor," he said, " I must be excused from this trial
because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one

Australian Fugitive Captured After Asking TV Station
To Use More Flattering Photo of her
A woman allegedly on the run from police has caused a social
media storm after she asked a TV station to use a 'better
photo' of her when reporting her escape.
Teenager Amy Sharp is alleged to have broken out of a police
station in Sydney on Friday, August 19, before running
away.
And as is fairly standard practice, police issued a
statement accompanied by two photographs they had taken of
the 18-year-old in a bid to find the youngster.
But the search took an unexpected turn when the pictures and
police statement were uploaded onto Sydney's 7 News
Facebook
page.
Brazenly, the first person to comment on the story and the
photos was Amy Sharp herself.
Clearly unhappy with how she looked in the police mugshots,
in which she wore a glum expression and a red blanket draped
over her shoulders, she uploaded a more flattering shot in
the comments section of the page with a simple request:
"Can you use this photo please, and thank you. Yours truly
Amy Sharp XX"
The comment, which was accompanied with a smiling emoji with
a halo, was liked more than 47,000 times and attracted
numerous comments.
Bec Sackville posted "Haha that's a classic. Think the cops
have found a new way to catch crims. Just put out an ugly
photo and the crim will be in touch to give you a better one
lol."
Police did not consider her a risk to members of the public
saying she had been in custody for property offences.
She was later caught in Wentworth Park, not far from where
she allegedly escaped and is expected to be charged.

Here is an oldie-goldie that was sent back to me:
Father O'Flannagan dies due to old age.
Upon entering St.Peter's gate, there is another man in
front, waiting to go into heaven.
St. Peter asks the man, "What is your name what did you
accomplish during your life?".
The man responds "My name is Joe Cohen, and I was a
New York city Taxi driver for 14 years"
"Very well," says St. Peter, "Here is your silk robe and
golden scepter, now you may walk in the streets of our
Lord."
St. Peter looks at the Father, and asks "What is your name
and what did you accomplish?"
He responds, "I'm Father O'Flannagan, and have devoted the
last 62 years to the Lord".
"Very well," says St. Peter, "Here is your cotton robe and
wooden staff, you may enter."
"Wait a minute," says O'Flannagan, "You gave the taxi driver
a silk robe and golden scepter, why did I only get a cotton
robe and wooden staff?".
"Well," St. Peter replied, "We work on a performance scale.
You see while you preached, everyone slept, when he drove
taxis, everyone prayed!"

Use Bleach to Remove Ink in Dryer
By Renea A [3 Posts, 4 Comments]
Make a solution of bleach and water. Completely immerse some
white towels in the solution and using rubber gloves wring
out most of the water from the towels. They should be just
damp and not dripping. Next throw the towels in the dryer
and turn it on. The bleach will take the ink out after one
to two applications of this process.
After you get all the ink out, wipe the dryer down with
plain water, making sure to wipe enough to remove all the
bleach. Leave the dryer door open to air dry afterward. To
be extra sure all the bleach is removed after cleaning you
can run whites through the next dryer cycle.

Thanks to Roland for this rewrite of a classic:
One of our local rednecks, Billy Joe Bob, while not very
bright, was a gifted portrait artist. His fame grew and soon
people from all over the country were coming to him for
paintings.
One day, a beautiful young woman pulled up to his house in a
stretch limo. She asked Billy Joe Bob if he could paint her
in the nude.
This was the first time anyone had made this request. The
beautiful lady said money was no object, she was willing to
pay $5,000.
Not willing to get into trouble with his wife, Billy Joe Bob
asked the lady to wait while he went in the house and
conferred with his wife. In a few minutes he returned and
told the lady he was willing to paint her in the nude.
However, he would have to leave his socks on so he would
have some place to wipe his brushes!!

Lakeisha Brisbane,
46,
Clearwater,
Floriduh
Florida Bonehead Used Stolen Credit Card For
Gal Pal's Bail
An ex-con is facing felony charges after she used a stolen
credit card to bail out a woman locked up in a Florida jail,
police charge.
According to court filings, Lakeisha Brisbane, 46, used the
victim’s Visa card in three separate transactions--totaling
$850--with a Clearwater bail bonds company.
Brisbane, seen above, used the stolen credit card to bail
out Shermaine Arnold, a 21-year-old female acquaintance
being held in the Pinellas County lockup, cops allege.
Arnold, records show, was jailed in November for ditching
out on a $62.21 Yellow Cab fare. But since she also had an
outstanding warrant in connection with a felony battery case
in Miami-Dade county, her bond was set at $7500.
Arnold, spent a week in custody before Brisbane went into
49th Street Bail Bonds carrying a credit card “issued in the
name of elderly male victim,” a criminal complaint charges.
Brisbane signed several sales receipts, a “multitude of
other paperwork,” and allowed the firm to photocopy her
driver’s license.
Court filings do not explain how Brisbane was allowed to
make charges on a Visa card in someone else’s name.
Brisbane, who is scheduled for a court appearance today, was
arrested Thursday on grand theft and credit card fraud
charges, both felonies. She was released on $10,000 bond,
which was posted by a second Clearwater firm, P-Freddie
Dixon Bail Bonds.
In some court records, Brisbane is identified by one of her
aliases, Lakeisha Best.
Brisbane is a convicted felon who spent about 15 months in
state prison following her conviction on various fraud
charges. She was released from custody in early-2010.

RE: Cleaning monitors
Dear Webby,
What's the best to use for cleaning monitors ? What happens
to cleaning fuild that seeps down along the screen into the
inside
of the monitor?
Thanks
Fiona
Dear Fiona
Use whatever you use for cleaning windows and mirrors.
Turn the monitor off and leave it off overnight, then clean
it first thing in the morning.
If cleaning fluid seeps down along the screen into the
monitor housing, it will just collect in the lowest spot and
drain out there. Usually the lowest spot is a collector
trough along the front bottom, and usually it has a little
drain hole.
If your monitor does not have a drain hole, don't worry.
It's just a few drops that seep down and they just dry up in
that collector trough. In the days when monitors were still
being fixed, I saw the innards of hundreds of monitors and
have never seen liquid accumulate enough to get anywhere
near the electronics.
People who SELL monitors tell you to scratch them up by
cleaning them with a dry cloth. Same as with your eye
glasses, don't do that. Always use a liquid to flush grit
out of the pores and to slide the grit harmlessly off the
glass or plastic.
Have FUN!

Bottle Feeding My Tomato Plants
By Eileen H. [4 Posts]
Take an empty clear plastic water bottle, cut off the
bottom, drill a hole or bang a nail hole thru the plastic
cap, and screw the cap back on to the neck of the bottle.
Make a hole in the dirt right next to where the stem of the
tomato plant is buried, turn the bottle upside down and put
the neck of the bottle in the hole. Fill the bottle with
water and it will slowly drip into the dirt right to the
roots of the plant.

Bill and I were talking and idly watching the sidewalk
traffic while his wife was taking an eternity shopping for
some postcards at a mall kiosk.
A shapely young woman in a short, short skirt strolled by.
We didn't stop or change our conversation, but since she
was a much more pleasant sight than the parking meter
officer, our eyes involuntarily followed her as she walked.
Without looking up from the item she was examining, Bill's
wife kicked him in the shin and asked,

to his wife, "Please take the wheel, dear. Pretend that I am
having a heart attack. You must get the boat safely to
shore."
So she drove the boat to shore and docked it at the marina.
Later that evening, the wife walked into the living room
where her husband was watching television. She sat down next
to him, switched the TV channel, and said to him, "Please go
into the kitchen, dear. Pretend I'm having a heart attack.
You must do the laundry and iron it, make the bed, clean the

Bob had heard a family rumor that his father, grandfather
and even his great-grandfather all "walked on water" on
their 21st birthday.
So, on his 21st birthday, he and his good friend Brian
headed out to the lake. "If they could do it, so can I!"
Bob told Brian.
Bob and Brian arrived at the lake and rented a boat.
They paddled out to the middle. Bob stepped off of the
side of the boat . . . and nearly drowned.
Furious, he had Brian drive him back to the Family Farm and
asked his grandmother why he hadn't been blessed with the
same "gift" as the others in the family.
Grandmother took Bob by the hands, looked into his face,
and said, "That's because your father, grandfather, and
great-grandfather were born in January. You were
born in August, when the lake is not frozen."

Derren Sorrells, 26,
Darwin Sorrells Jr., 22,
Chicago, Ill
Two Chicago Brothers On Parole Charged In Murder
Of NBA Star’s Cousin.
The pair are described as “documented gang members.”
Chicago police on Sunday said they have arrested two
brothers and charged them with the fatal shooting of
basketball star Dwyane Wade’s cousin as she pushed a baby in
a stroller, a murder that has stunned a city plagued by a
surge in gang-related violence.
In a case that has emerged as a talking point in the U.S.
presidential race, Darwin Sorrells Jr., 26, and Derren
Sorrells, 22, are facing charges of first-degree murder and
attempted murder in the death of Nykea Aldridge, a 32-year-
old mother of four, police said.
The brothers, described as “documented gang members,” are
convicted felons who were out of prison on parole at the
time of the shooting, police officials said at a Sunday
press briefing.
Aldridge was hit when the suspects opened fire at the
intended target, a driver of a car who told authorities he
worked for Uber and was dropping off passengers.
In a briefing on Sunday, police did not say why the driver
was targeted except to note that the man was from outside
the area and appeared to have an exchange of words with the
suspects.
One of the brothers was required to wear a monitoring device
as a condition of his home confinement while on parole,
except from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. when he was allowed to conduct
personal business. It was during those hours that the
shooting occurred, police said.
Darwin Sorrells was sentenced to six years in prison in 2013
on a gun charge but was “let out early,” police spokesman
Anthony Guglielmi said on Twitter on Sunday.

RE: What is that attack on Classic Shell about?
Dear Webby,
What is that attack on Classic Shell about?
I have been using Classic Shell for a couple of years and am
perfectly happy with it. With that I can be just as
productive and efficient on W10 as I was with W7.
What is this all about?
Do I have to worry now?
Nate
Dear Nate
On August 2 some very skilled hackers, who are extremely
familiar with Windows10, hacked the download site for
Classic Shell, and uploaded a doctored version.
The attack was timed by whoever hacked the installer to
coincide with the also hacked release of Windows 10
Anniversary Update to sabotage older versions of Classic
Shell. After the Anniversary patch users would head to the
main download site and the compromised installer would
infect their PC.
Whoever did it must have had considerable cooperation from
inside Microsoft and using the Anniversary patch as part of
the attack by forcing users to go download the hacked
version of Classic Shell. The Anniversary patch was
definitely part of the attack.
There is no proof, of course, but it sure looks like it was
done by Microsoft employees.
As long as you avoid the Anniversary Patch, which is very
bad news anyway, you are safe. It is only the Anniversary
patch, that sabotages Classic Shell.
There are now good, pre-hack versions available again.
However, since your version works fine, don't bother with
updates for a while. From what I hear, there are no updates
needed for Classic Shell anyway.
It is only the Windows10 Anniversary patch that sabotages
people's Classic Shell and forces them to download a new
version.
Since the Classic Shell update hack has been dumped and
replaced with a good version, that danger is now gone.
Have FUN!

Sister Margaret Held and Sister Paula Merrill, both 68, were
found dead on Thursday at a residence within the community
they served.
Rodney Earl Sanders, 46, of Kosciusko, Mississippi, was
detained by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation on
Friday evening.
Holmes Country sheriff Willie March said Sanders has now
confessed to police, but has given no reason for the crimes.
The bodies of the nuns were discovered after they failed to
show up for work at a health clinic in Lexington,
Mississippi.
Both were nurse practitioners, dispensing flu shots, insulin
and other medical care for those who could not afford it in
the poorest county in the poorest US state.
Authorities have not disclosed a motive, or said how the
women were killed.
But the Rev Greg Plata, of St Thomas Catholic Church in
Lexington, said police had told him they were stabbed.
The nuns' stolen car was found abandoned a mile from their
home in Durant, and police said there were signs of a break-
in.
Their deaths have left a gaping hole in the community.
Joe Morgan, who was a diabetes patient of Sister Merrill,
said he cannot forgive the perpetrator, even though he knows
the nuns would have wished him to do so.
The 58-year-old former factory worker said he wants to see
the killer executed.
"She doesn't deserve to die like this, doing God's work," Mr
Morgan said.

RE: W 10 terrorizes me!
Dear Webby,
I'm so mad at this moment I could chew nails! The kind
driven into things with a hammer! This piece of shit
Windows 10 locked me out of my computer until I downloaded
all the latest updates. Except I have it set so I don't
have to download the so called Anniversary update because
it's causing too many problems for people. It took away my
Classic Shell that you sent me a link to and said it was not
compatible with Windows 10. I downloaded it again to my
Firefox library and when I tried to install it, Windows 10
wouldn't let me because it's not compatible! I fired off a
letter telling them exactly what I thought of WINDOWS 10 and
where they could stick it! I guess I'm venting to you
because I knew you would understand and maybe have a
solution. Every time I say anything to my husband he tells
me to be quiet because I'm interfering with his ball game.
I'm not giving him the hard time that I could because he's
going through too many health problems at this time. HELP!
If you put this in the Humor Letter please clean it up!
Barb
Dear Barb
Write to the Classic Shell about W10 blocking them.
They might have already heard about it and built a way
around the problem.
Apparently Micros*** (or one of their minions) hacked
Classic Shell on August 2 and put a hacked version up.
Go onto their forum and paste your letter there.
No need to clean it up for them.
However, read what is already on the forum about that, so
that you don't exactly repeat what others have already said.

Summer Fresh Tomato Pie for One
By ~gloria [95 Posts, 152 Comments]
This is a very juicy pie. It's tomatoes after all, so be
prepared for drippage! If you don't care for tomato skins
like me, they pull right off with your fork.
Just double the recipe and use a regular pie plate, if you
want a big pie to share. Hope you will love this as much as
I do. All you need to make this scrumptious summer treat is
pictured below.
Prep Time: Approx. 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: Approx. 1 hour
Yield: 1 or 2 servings
Ingredients:
4 -5 unbaked crescent rolls.
1-2 fresh tomatoes, sliced 1/4" thick.
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
crumbled bacon bits (optional)
finely sliced basil (optional, but who wouldn't?)
Kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
Steps:
Coat a #3 (the little guy) cast iron skillet with cooking
spray. Press the crescent roll dough onto the bottom and
sides of the skillet; joining any gaps with your fingertips.
Layer tomato slices to cover the bottom. Sprinkle the
basil, salt and pepper over the tomato. Add bacon, or not,
as you choose.
Mix the mayo and cheese together and plop on top of the
tomatoes. Spread to completely cover the tomatoes.
Bake at 375 degrees F. on the rack just below middle for
about 30 mins. Watch for browning of crescent edges and
cheesy top. That's when you know it's ready.
Allow to cool maybe 15 mins. if you can stand the wait.
I usually enjoy the first half right there at the counter.

A man's best friend dies, so he calls the nearest
flower shop to order a wreath of flowers to be
displayed at the wake.
"Put an extra-wide ribbon on it," he tells the clerk.
"Print 'Rest in Peace' on both sides and, if there is
room, 'We Shall Meet in Heaven.'"
The clerk assures him that his order will be carried
out and the wreath promptly delivered to the funeral
home.
Sure enough, the wreath arrives and is set up next to
the casket. But the mourners are stunned when they
see it. On the extra-wide ribbon is the inscription,
"Rest in peace on both sides",
and,
"If there is room, we shall meet in Heaven."

A bunch of guys decided one morning that they would
go deer hunting. So they all piled into the station
wagon with their guns and took off down the road
looking for a place to go hunting. After driving awhile
they came across an old farm house with a large
spread of woods behind it.
One of the guys went to the door and asked the
farmer if they could hunt in his woods. When asked,
the farmer said "yes, sure, but would you do me a
favor? The ol' cow in the barn yard is on her last legs
and I know she is sufferin', would you kindly put her
down for me, I don' have the heart to."
As the hunter walked back to the station wagon, he
decided to play a prank on his fellow hunters. So
when he got back to the station wagon he pulled out
his rifle and shouted "..I'll teach that old coot for not
letting us hunt on his property!" and shot the old cow.
After he fired the shot, he heard another shot and one
of the other hunters proclaim,
"Yea, we'll show him... I got his tractor!"

Ohio Robber Attacked 7-Eleven Employee with Nacho Cheese
After issuing an appeal to the public, Ohio cops have
identified the woman who allegedly threw a container of
nacho cheese at a 7-Eleven owner who caught her stealing
merchandise.
In a Facebook post yesterday, the Toledo Police Department
included three surveillance images of the suspect, who was
wearing a Spiderman t-shirt, shorts, and blue socks with
white stars.
According to a police report, after being confronted by
Jitendra Singh, 49, the woman attacked the 7-Eleven owner,
tearing money from his hands before throwing "a container of
nacho cheese" at him. The woman then “fled in a maroon
Chevy with a black male.”
Upon posting an “Attempt to identify” notice, cops
determined that the suspect in the August 18 incident was
Derrickka Dixon, a 28-year-old Toledo resident. In comments
on the Toledo Police Department’s Facebook page, Dixon’s
husband Tray, 33, claimed that the police account was “all
wrong. She didn’t steal nothing.” He added that, “The media
lie every day.”
In addition to issuing a robbery arrest warrant for Dixon,
cops are also seeking to collar her spouse, who allegedly
threatened to kill Singh during the 7-Eleven incident (and
was driving the Chevy). Dixon is seen above in a mug shot
taken after an arrest last year.
Singh was not injured by the airborne nacho cheese.

RE: Taking Computer apart
Dear Webby,
In this letter in the tech dept you said it was a good idea
to vacuum out your computer. How do you do that?
I really am hesitant to take anything apart for fear I won't
get it back together right.
Thanks, Sharon
Dear Sharon
Turn the computer off, but don't unplug it. It's safer if it
is properly grounded.
Don't unplug anything, but look at the back of the computer.
You will see that most of the plugs and cables are closer
to one of the side walls than the other. They are closer to the "floor" side.
The opposite side is the "lid" side. Usually the lid has
thumbscrews or larger screws than the floor side, or a
locking lever.
Unscrew the two or three screws on the lid or push the
locking lever. Then you can slide it backwards and open it
easily.
Set it aside flat on the floor. If you don't, it will fall
over and scare you right when you are under the table. When
that happens, it's quite hilarious for the onlookers.
Now take a vaccum cleaner and put the narrow crevice tool
on it, if you have one. Vacuum out the inside of the
computer, preferably without quite touching anything in
there. The dust and the dustbunnies and spiderwebs are all
lightweight and vacuum up easily.
Then put the vacuum away so that you don't trip over it,
find the lid and re-attach it.
Carefully empty the vaccum cleaner and retrieve the
vacuumed up lid screws and use them to secure the lid.
That's all there is to it.
Have FUN!

addressing his congregation with a vehement sermon that
alcohol was the work of the devil.
"As an example," he stated during his sermon, "If you were
to lead a donkey to a bowl of water and a bowl of whiskey,
from which would he drink?"
A grizzled old Mick at the back of the church spoke up:
"Aye, Father, for sure he'd drink from the water."
The priest, elated, said,
"Very good, my son. And can you tell me WHY he'd drink from
the water?"
The Irishman at the back of the church replied,
"Sure I can tell ye' why, Father. Because he's an ass."

Echo Park Mom Arrested After 11-Year-Old Son
Found Dead In A Closet
A woman has been arrested after officers found her young son
dead with signs of malnutrition and abuse in her Echo Park
home.
Veronica Aguilar, 39, has been arrested on suspicion of
child endangerment resulting in death, according to a
release from the LAPD. On Monday at about 2:15 p.m.,
officers responded to the 2200 block of West Sunset Avenue
where Aguilar's husband, Jose Pinzon, was waiting to meet
them. He had rushed to a nearby convenience store to call 9-
1-1 after Aguilar told him that her son was dead, KTLA
reports.
Pinzon led officers to a home in the 2100 block of
Santa Ynez Street, where the 11-year-old boy's body was
found in a closet, wrapped in a blanket.
The boy showed signs of malnutrition and physical abuse.
LAFD paramedics pronounced the boy dead at the scene, and
investigators believe he had been dead for a few hours prior
to the discovery. The exact cause of death is still under
investigation.
"In my 25 years in law enforcement, this ranks as one of the
worst cases I've seen," LAPD Det. Moses Castillo told KTLA.
Pinzon is not the boy's biological father, whom
investigators are working on locating.
Neighbors say that the family had only lived in the area for
about two or three months, and no one knew them particularly
well.
Investigators found that the L.A. County Department of
Children and Family Services has received at least three
reports concerning the boy between 2009 and 2012, but that
no case was ever filed, according to CBS Los Angeles. This
comes only a few months after four social workers who had
worked for the L.A. County DCFS were charged in the 2013
death of an 8-year-old boy, who was found beaten to death
after DCFS closed the family's case.

An enormously wealthy 65-year-old man falls in love with a
young woman in her twenties and is contemplating a proposal.
"Do you think she'd marry me if I tell her I'm 45?" he asked
a friend.
"Your chances are better," said the friend, "if you tell her
you're 90."

Hey ladies! I am 90!
And i would love to get enormously wealthy,

During a baseball game, a woman kept shouting threats at
the umpire. No matter what happened on the field, she
constantly yelled, "Kill the umpire!"
This went on for an hour.
A nearby fan finally yelled out, "Lady,
the umpire hasn't done anything wrong!"
She shouted back, "Hey, how would you know that?
That's my husband, not yours!"

A man really loved a woman, but he was just too shy to

But one day, he became determined to ask her the question.
He called her on the phone, "June."
"Yes, this is June."
"Will you marry me?"
"Of course I will marry you! Who's this?"

Zachary Tricoche,
24,
Pennsauken,
NJ
24 year old NJ felon beat 2 year old kid to death, because
the kid cried, when he knocked his mother to the ground.
Zachary Tricoche, a 24-year-old man from Pennsauken, New
Jersey, has been charged for beating Jamil Baskerville Jr.,
a 2-year-old boy, to death, Fox News is reporting.
The toddler had woken up Saturday night after being startled
by the 24-year-old man assaulting his mother. Tricoche was
livid over the groceries his girlfriend, Shah, had
purchased. The young boy, seeing his mother being shoved to
the ground, had started to cry.
This enraged Tricoche, who allegedly told the little boy to
“put his hands up” and fight him like a man. Zachary punched
him with so much power that the child stumbled backward and
crashed into the wall behind him.
Zachary Tricoche punched Jamil Baskerville Jr. two more
times in the head. The boy struck the wall a second time and
passed out. He was only three feet tall, weighed 29 pounds,
and was four months shy of his third birthday.
Shah had called 911 saying that the boy had vomited and was
presently not breathing.
Prosecutors believe that the odds are stacked against
Zachary Tricoche based on “an excellent likelihood of
conviction, linked to physical evidence” and a protracted
criminal record that includes selling and buying drugs and
trying to destroy the evidence. An anonymous source said
that Shah’s live-in boyfriend had also physically assaulted
the dead toddler’s siblings in the past.
A medical examination revealed the boy’s liver was crushed
and he bled to death internally.
The official cause of death is blunt force trauma and the
manner of death is homicide.
Tricoche’s bail was set at $1 million cash.

RE: UV filter for camera
Dear Webby,
why is everybody always saying you need to buy an UV filter
for every camera? If that filter was so universally
necessary, wouldn't the camera companies build it into the
camera ?
Thanks
Hank
Dear Hank
With a cheap plastic lens camera a real glass UV filter can
make a noticeable difference in the picture, however, with
most cameras there is SOME glass in there somewhere,
and you would not notice a difference. If you did notice a
difference, you most likely would not really know for sure
which version of a picture you would prefer,
with or without UV filter.
The main objective of the UV filter nowadays is to protect
the main lens from fingerprints, dirt and scratches.
Since UV filters are just plain glass, they used to be very
cheap, ($1 - $10), but nowadays some merchants consider
them to be gullibility tax and charge outrageous amounts of
money for them. Since they are just plain glass, a UV filter
from any old camera will work just fine, as long as it is
not scratched up.
Have FUN!

Hamburger Casserole Recipe
By Lesa [3 Posts]
When I was a kid my mom and I put this recipe together. It's
kind of a spin off of Hobo Dinner but made into a casserole
instead.
Ingredients:
1-2 lbs. hamburger
1-2 medium onion, sliced
veggie(s) of you or your families liking (any amounts of
whatever you want or have on hand can be used.)
Potatoes, peeled and sliced (again there's not any certain
amount needed or required here. Just however much you care
to use or have on hand.)
Salt and pepper to taste, and /or whatever other
seasoning(s) you like. I like to use onion powder on mine,
because we like the flavor it gives. And I season each layer
too.
Directions:
Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Now choose whatever size of
baking or casserole dish you care to make and spray the dish
with pan spray.
Put the hamburger in the bottom, season it with salt and
pepper and whatever seasoning of your choice. Put the sliced
onion over the beef and season it also. Put the veggie of
your choosing over the sliced onions. Now place a layer of
sliced potatoes over the veggie(s); salt and pepper and use
any other seasoning(s) of your choice.
Add as many layers or as many potatoes you want too. I like
my potatoes here, so I usually put on about 2-3 layers. Make
sure to season each layer. And if you like onion, you can
also add more sliced onion between the potato layers if you
want to. There's no certain amount of anything here. Just
put however or whatever amount you want.
Bake it covered at 350 degrees F for about 1-1/2 hours,
until the potatoes are tender. This is really handy to have
made up and already baked, and cooled. Put in the freezer
for those unexpected visitors or just a lazy night dinner,
or if you just don't know what to make. My mom and I loved
it. Enjoy!
Servings:2-4 people
Prep Time:30 minutes Minutes
Cooking Time:1-1/2hrs Minutes
Source: I'm in my fifties now, but this recipe my mom and I
put together when I was growing up, one night when we wanted
everything all in one dish. This has been a favorite in my
family for a lot of years now. And I hope others will enjoy
too.

A man visited a psychiatrist to talk about his dreams.
"Every night," the man said, "I dream that these three
hideous monsters are sitting on the edge of my bed, ready to
attack me."
"Hmmm," said the doctor. "I feel sure I can cure you of this
problem. But the treatment will cost you somewhere between
twenty and thirty thousand dollars."
"Thirty thousand dollars!" the man gasped. "Never mind
getting rid of the monsters, Doctor. I think I'll go home
and try to make friends with them."

That shrink joke reminds me of another one:
Bill visited a shrink to talk about his nightmares.
"Every night," he told the shrink, these hideous monsters
hide under my bed and try to paralize me so that they can
jump on me and take my brain. And when I sleep under the
bed, they are hiding on top of it!"
After a lot of hemming and hawing the shrink told Bill that
he could indeed cure him, but it would take a year or more
of weekly visits.
Since each visit cost Bill $150 plus parking fees, plus
wasted half a day going into town, he wanted to think about
that.
A year later the shrink happened to be just behind Bill in
the line-up at the bank. He asked him what happened to his
monsters.
"Oh, the monsters are gone now", Bill told him.
"And who killed them for you ?", the psychiatrist sneered.
"Big Bertha, the barmaid from the pub killed them for me.
"Tell me, just how did a barmaid deal with such a
complicated issue?" the shrink wanted to know.
"Quite simply," Bill told him.
When I was in bed, she took a run at it from down the end of
the hallway and jumped on me with a flying leap.
That broke all four legs of the bed and squished the
monsters into the apartment downstairs."

Thanks to Jean for this one:
Looking in the mall for a nightgown, I tried my luck in a
store known for its sexy lingerie. To my delight, however,
I found just what I was looking for. Waiting in the line
to pay, I noticed a young woman behind me holding the same
item. This confirmed what I suspected all along: despite
being nearly 50, I still have a very "with it" attitude.
"I see we have the same taste," I said proudly to the 20-
something behind me.
"Yes," she replied. "I'm getting this for my gramma."

A Sunday school teacher asked her students to draw a picture
of their favorite Old Testament bible story. As she moved
around the class, she saw many wonderful drawings being
created.
Then she came to Little Johnny, who had drawn a man driving
an older car, a convertible with 60's style tail fins. In
the back seat were two passengers, both scantily dressed.
The teacher said, "It's a lovely picture, Johnny, but which

Little Johnny seemed surprised at the question and said,
"Well, doesn't it say in the BIBLE that God drove Adam

"Wise Intelligent Supreme God Allah" arrested in Ohio

Wise Intelligent Supreme God Allah,
18,
Akron,
Ohio
Wise Intelligent Supreme God Allah, belying his name, the
18-year-old Ohioan made the imprudent choice Thursday night
to be carrying a loaded handgun while a passenger in a car
traveling in Akron.
During a police traffic stop, Allah was found with a Hi-
Point .380 caliber handgun in the waistband of his pants.
The Canton resident was arrested on felony weapons charges,
according to Akron Municipal Court records.
None of the four other occupants of the 2014 Kia were
arrested during the stop, which occurred in front of a Taco
Bell. An Akron Police Department report states that Allah
and two women in the vehicle "has history of drugs and
weapons."
The accused pistolero--whose rap sheet includes a felony
burglary conviction--was booked into the Summit County jail,
where he remains locked up on $20,000 bond.
According to court records, Allah’s residence is adjacent to
a multi-county juvenile detention facility.

RE: Typing position
Dear Webby,
Time to play referee again.
Our night-school teacher insists that the proper seating
position is is with the back and neck straight, upper arms
perfectly straight down, elbows pressed against the body,
fore-arms and wrist and hands perfectly level.
I thought that position had gone out of style.
What do you say ?
Karina
Dear Karina
You are right. Except during interviews I have not seen that
sitting position since the 80's. It does make you look more
attractive to a male interviewer than any other typing
position, but it is by no means the fastest typing position
and it leads to fatigue and even repetitive strain injury.
Today, (except for interviews '-) a more relaxed typing
position is favored. Elbows out, forearms slightly downward,
hands in a relaxed curve. That position often adds about 5
words per minute to your speed.
However, if you type faster than me, it makes no difference
to me what typing position you use, as long as you change
it slightly about every 15 - 30 minutes. The changing is the
most important part of the sitting position. That avoids
repetitive strain injury.
Have FUN!

Recipe: Jackie's Chicken Salad
By Jackie H. [176 Posts, 58 Comments]
Ingredients:
2 thin boneless skinless chicken breasts fillets (About 1
pound)
1 carton (32 oz.) chicken broth
celery, chopped (for the broth)
1 stalk small onion, chopped (for the broth)
1/8 tsp. each; sage, basil, black pepper, salt, thyme,
rosemary and a bay leaf (for the broth)
Hellman's Mayonnaise, add more if you like more mayo
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 Tbsp celery, minced (in chopper)
2 stalks fresh basil leafs, rolled and sliced
1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, diced small
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp seasoning salt or Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 tsp sugar
Steps:
Using a large saucepan, add chicken broth and thawed rinsed
chicken.
Add the seasonings, celery and onion to the broth. Let this
boil for about 30 minutes until chicken is tender and
falling apart.
Remove chicken onto a plate to cool.
Pour the broth into a bowl to cool. Cover and freeze this
chicken broth for another time. It is all seasoned and ready
to use.
I use my clean hands to break the chicken apart, and shred
it. I prefer it shredded than in large pieces or chunks of
chicken.
Put chicken into a mixing bowl. Add celery, cucumber, fresh
basil, dill, black pepper, seasoning salt, sugar, cider
vinegar and mayonnaise.
Jackie's Chicken Salad
Stir very well until mixed. Chill for at least an hour
before serving.

A man traveling down a country road was forced to
stop before a giant puddle covering the entire road.
Looking to the side of the road, the man noticed a
farmer leaning on a fence. "Think it's safe to cross?"
the man asked.
"I reckon so," replied the farmer.
The car was immediately swallowed by the puddle as
the man drove in. In fact, it was so deep that he had
to roll his window down to swim out of his car back to
the surface. As his head broke the surface the man
yelled to the farmer, "I thought you said I could safely
drive through this puddle!"
"Well, shoot!" said the farmer, scratching his head.
"It only comes up chest-high on my ducks!"

A couple had been married for 40 years and also
celebrated their 60th birthdays. During the
celebration, a fairy godmother appeared and said
that because they had been such a loving couple all
those years, she would give them one wish each.
Being the faithful, loving spouse for all these years,
naturally the wife wanted for her and her husband to
have a romantic vacation together, so she wished for
them to travel around the world. The fairy godmother
waved her wand and boom! She had the tickets in
her hand.
Next, it was the husband's turn and the fairy
godmother assured him he could have any wish he
wanted, all he needed to do was ask for his heart's
desire.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Well, honestly,
I'd like to have a wife 30 years younger than me."
The fairy godmother picked up her wand and boom!
He was 90.

Florida Man Robbed, Killed After Setting Up Second Date on
Online Dating Site; 4 People Arrested
A Florida man was looking for love when he signed up for a
popular online dating site, but was instead lured to his
death, police said Monday.
Police say the single father had arranged a date last
Thursday with 18-year-old Hailey Rose Bustos, who he met on
the online dating site “PlentyofFish.”
The pair went bowling, according to the Orlando Sentinel,
and Bustos texted him afterward, saying, “I had a good time
and would like to see you again.”
They arranged to see each other the next night, but police
say Bustos brought three other men to Hilarie’s apartment to
rob him instead. During the robbery, one of the men
allegedly shot him in the head, local TV station WFLA
reported.
“Hilarie was begging for his life, he was not putting up any
kind of fight, and was telling them that he had a 5-year-
old daughter,” according to arrest reports.
Police say Bustos was paid $50 to go on the dating site with
the intent to set the man up for a robbery — but it
ultimately ended in his death.
“Once she got home, they talked together; they worked out
the details and then went back and committed the murder,”
Auburndale Police Deputy Chief Andy Ray said. “I think the
plan was that he get robbed and that they take his stuff.”
Bustos, 18, of Auburndale; Andre Warner, 26, of Auburndale;
Gary Terrell Gray, 31, of Lakeland; and Joshua Ellington,
26, of Lake Alfred, were arrested and charged with
conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery with a firearm/deadly
weapon and first-degree murder.

RE: Fake PayPal mail asking for cerdit card data
Dear Webby,
I got a notice from Paypal to reconfirm my credit card, and
I did. But then I got another one to another one of my
email addresses. By that time I realized that neither of
those addresses are the one I use at PayPal.
I guess I got took!
Now what?
Stan
Dear Stan
Yes, you forgot what I had warned about a few times. PayPal
will NEVER send out a mail asking you to enter credit card
information in a mail form.
The REAL PayPal does that on a secure form at their site.
You donated your credit card info to some crooks. They may
be grateful, as they spend your money, and think about you.
But don't count on that.
About all you can do is call your credit card company and
tell them that you gave your credit card info to some
crooks.
They will then put a block on that card and issue you a new
one. As long as you report it on the same day, they usually
just bounce any chrges made on that card on that day. With
some of them, though, you may have to do some arguing.
I would strongly advise that you do the arguing soonest,
like RIGHT NOW!
Have FUN!
DearWebby

"I hope you didn't take it personally, Reverend," an
embarrassed woman said after a church service, "when my
husband walked out during your sermon."
"I did find it rather disconcerting," the preacher replied.
"It's not a reflection on you, sir," insisted the church
goer. "Ralph has been walking in his sleep ever since he was
a child."

do you expect your friend to come up and eat the rice?"
The old Chinese man replied with a smile, "Same time your
friend comes up to smell the flowers."

nearly round shape. However, since Pluto has an oblong orbit
and overlaps the orbit of Neptune it disqualified Pluto as a
planet.
