John-Paul Sabara, 
35,
Middletown, PA

Dopey burglar found 
sleeping in school, with dope

Police outside Philadelphia say they found a man 
sleeping in a school hallway with a glass smoking 
pipe and a bag of synthetic marijuana marked 
"Scooby Snax."

The Bucks County Courier Times reports police discovered 
John-Paul Sabara inside the Tawanka Learning Center in 
Lower Southampton around 3:20 a.m. Monday after spotting 
a bicycle parked outside the building.

Police say the 35-year-old Middletown man growled, made 
strange sounds and acted aggressively toward officers 
trying to wake him. Police said Sabara also had a 
cellphone, memory cards and children's sneakers.

He was arraigned on charges included criminal 
trespassing and drug possession and jailed in lieu 
of 10 percent of $500,000 bail.

Sabara has previously served time for assault, burglary 
and firearm convictions.

Re: Audio driver

Hi Dear Webby,
Working a problem with an installation of a Zoiper.com soft 
phone to use on my sonetel.com International phone setup.
Installation program/diagnostics tell me that it is not 
finding my headset (earphones, microphone). I am trying to 
find out why and get this setup working. 

Activated, and ran my old inactive copy of DriverUpdate.net
- got the latest update. Ran it and it tells me that there 
are 16 drivers either out-of-date or missing. Will cost me 
$30 to renew for another year.

Was wondering if you had a favorite driver updater? Would 
rather seek your advice and buy through you than take a 
chance with this unknown. (Also their terms and conditions 
allow them a lot of leeway to bombard me with additional 
offers from them and all their friends/cousins/etc.!)

Checked your list but didn't see any driver-updaters listed....

Am downloading a copy of Audacity to use it to see if my 
audio settings will work for it... test my Win 7 32 bit PC 
with something simpler than Zoiper...

What say you, Sage of Alberta? What would you suggest?

Kindest personal regards,

Jorge


Dear Jorge
That is crooked bullshit.
You can get free drivers from the manufacturer, 
IF you need them,
AND
for headsets you don't need any drivers. They just plug 
into the green socket for the earphones and the pink 
socket for the microphone.

There is no software involved. 
Straight electrical.

If you use a microphone older than you are, and speakers
also older thna you are, they use the same audio drivers
as the most modern headsets from Japan.

Keep in mind, the Tooth fairie did not install new transistors
into your audio amplifier while you were sleeping. There is NO
change there, and the driver, that worked, when you bought 
your computer, still works.

If your sockets are not damaged from throwing stuff onto the 
plugged in plugs, the speakers and the microphone work.
It makes NO difference if you use a separate microphone or a 
mike on a head set. It is just electrical, not soft.

Anybody telling you something different, is a crooked liar.

Tell them to go ......... and to stick their phony driver 
updates where the sun don't shine!

If you are worried your sockets have been damaged, try 
"Echo" on Skype.
It will echo back to you what you have said. 

And yes, Audacity will be a good test too. It shows you 
a graph of the microphone input, and when you play it back, 
if you can't hear it, then your speaker socket is damaged.
(Or the speakers are not powered. They need to be plugged in!)

If the sockets are damaged, then you need to fix or replace
them, and all the software updates in the world are not going 
to help there.

If you are concerned about your audio drivers, get the 
Belarc Advisor from my tool box and see what kind of audio
hardware you got installed. Then check if that company has a 
new driver. If they do, it will be free.

Have FUN!

One day a co-worker told my friend, Stan, that she was
going home early because she didn't feel well. 

Since Stan was just getting over something himself, he
wished her well and said he hoped it wasn't something
he had given her.

A fellow worker piped up, "I sure hope not.
She has morning sickness."

Turkey Breasts
If you don't feel up to baking a whole turkey, the turkey 
breasts are a great option. They take much less time to 
thaw, give you lots of good breast meat and even have a 
gravy packet inside to help. If it is the day before 
Thanksgiving, unless you buy a fresh turkey, this may 
be your only option.

Men are good for only one thing! 

Upset over a newlywed squabble with my husband, I went to my mother
to complain. 

Trying to console me, my dad said that men are not all like this all
the time. 

"Nonsense," I said. "Men are good for only one thing!" 

"Yes," my mother interjected, "but how often do you have to parallel

"Doctor!" said the woman as she loudly bounced

you."

"First, you need to lose at least twenty pounds.
Second, you should use about one tenth as
much rouge and lipstick. And third, I'm an artist -

A little Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall for the
first time. They were amazed by almost everything they saw,
but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move
apart and back together again. The boy asked his father.
"What is this, Father?"

The father (never having seen an elevator) responded "Son,
I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't
know what it is".

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old
lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and
pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled
between them into a small room.

The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small
circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up.
They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse
direction.

The walls opened up again, and a beautiful 24 year-old 
woman stepped out.

The father, not taking his eyes off the young
woman, said quietly "Son, go get your Mother."

Viera, Floriduh

Floriduh man accused of almost running 
down deputy in Kohl's parking lot

VIERA, Fla. Authorities in Brevard County are throwing the 
book at a man suspected of trying to run down an officer 

Alexander Ruff was wanted for stealing from a Kohl's 
Department Store in Viera on Monday, but now he's facing 
much more serious charges.

Ruff is charged with aggravated assault on a law 
enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, reckless 
driving, grand theft and more.

A loss-prevention officer said he spotted Ruff stealing 
and called a deputy. In the parking lot of the store, 
the deputy injured his ankle as he dived away from Ruff's 
fleeing car.

A chase ensued and covered about 14 miles to Cox Road 
in Cocoa.

In court, prosecutors referred to Ruff's arrest record, 
which includes drug possession, credit card fraud, grand 
theft and dealing in stolen property.

"He was originally placed on probation in these two cases 
in April of this year. Within a month he had violated," 
said prosecutor Gary Beatty.

Ruff is being held without bail.

Re: Lost desktop icons

Hi Dear Webby,
Greetings to you this fine morning.  Hope all goes well 
in your world. I am stumped, and hope you can help me 
with this. Over the years the desktop icons and the 
Start Menu links to several games have been deleted. 
The games are still on the computer...see them in there 
when I did a Search...but I haven't a clue how to get 
them set up on the desktop and/or Start Menu so they 
can be played. Can't uninstall them because there is no 
way I could ever get them back. They were downloaded 
after purchase from various companies.  I do have the 
registration codes for most of them. 
Your help would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks a bunch.

Havin' fun now
Leesa


Dear Leesa
Yeah, Windows does loose desktop icons, 
especially if you change resolutions.

1) Search the games,
2) right-click
3) Make Desktop Shortcut
4) Drag the shortcut to the desktop.

5) Make a desktop folder and call it Games
6) Repeat steps 1,2,3,4
Drag the second icon into the Games folder.

Now, the next time Windows looses it's marbles, 
you can simply CTRL-drag an icon from the 
Games folder onto the desktop.

CTRL-drag will put a copy onto the desktop,
without deleting the one in the Games folder.

Windows will probably complain, that there is 
already one of those, even though it is not visible.
Tell it to go ahead anyway. It may add [2] to the name
of it, but that's OK. It will work just fine.

Have FUN!

Seems there was a young soldier, who, just before battle, told his
sergeant that he didn't have a rifle.

"That's no problem, son," said the sergeant.  "Here, take this broom.
Just point it at the enemy, and go 'Bangety Bang Bang.'"

"But what about a bayonet, Sarge?" asked the young (and gullible)
recruit.

The sergeant pulls a piece of straw from the end of the broom, and
attaches it to the handle end.  "Here, use this ...  just go, 'Stabity
Stab Stab.'"

The recruit ends up alone on the battlefield, holding just his broom.
Suddenly, an enemy soldier charges at him.  The recruit points the
broom.

"Bangety Bang Bang!" The enemy falls dead.

More enemies appear.  The recruit, amazed at his good luck, goes
"Bangety Bang Bang!  Stabity Stab Stab!" He mows down the enemy by the
dozens. Finally, the battlefield is clear, except for one enemy soldier
walking slowly toward him.

"Bangety Bang Bang!  shouts the recruit.  The enemy keeps coming.
"Bangety Bang Bang!" repeats the recruit, to no avail.  He gets
desperate.  "Bangety Bang Bang!  Stabity Stab Stab!" It's no use.

The enemy keeps coming.  He stomps the recruit into the ground,
mumbling "Tankety Tank Tank."

Litter Box Cover
I have a large Rubbermaid-type storage container covering 
my kitty's litter box in my storage room. She used to kick 
litter all over the place. Now I have much less to sweep up, 
plus it looks much more pleasant for company.
Turn the container upside-down and cut a doghouse-style 
opening in either the broad side or the end. Having the 
opening on the end will make an even more enclosed and 
private litter box. Use either a box cutter or strong shears, 
but be careful the plastic can be very tough.

Once you've cut the opening, lay the lid on the floor. Place 
the box on top of it and snap the inverted container back on 
the lid. It only takes a few dollars and a few minutes to make 
a piece of furniture that is completely washable and will last 
practically forever.

When she returned, Johnson allegedly accused her of 
sleeping with hospital staff members and began punching 
her in the back of the head, according to KIII TV.

Hospital staff and two security guards heard the ruckus 
and tried to remove Johnson from the premises, KZTV 
reports.

The suspect allegedly refused and during an ensuing scuffle, 
police said Johnson bit a 56-year-old security guard on the 
thigh, breaking skin, according to the Corpus Christi Caller 
Times.

but the blades are in V formation. With that you can slice
veggies as thin as paper or about 3/16" thick (about the
same as with your bagel slicer). The veggies or fruit are
held by a computer mouse size grip to keep your hands safe,
and you just slide the mouse back and forth in the tray.
Works very fast! You can also cut tomatoes or potatoes
or fruit into into cubes. I have used them since the 
70's. The blades last about 15 years with heavy use.

A paper thin slice of hot, red onion will do wonders for
any hamburger or sandwich, and few people can figure out
why it tastes so fresh and refreshing.

This is not an ad. I just love my V-Slicer.
Have FUN!

Anna replies, "I'm beautiful, I'm smart, I have a good

The stewardess gets the head stewardess who asks the

Harold grinned. "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?"

Gabriel Harris,
33
New Smyrna Beach,
Floriduh

Floriduh drunk who expected 
service at a Taco Bell after 3 am, 
and then grabbed a cop.

A drunken New Smyrna Beach bicyclist whose drive-through 
order at Taco Bell was rejected because he was too late 
and because he wasn't in a car, refused to leave the 
restaurant area and  then tussled with police, according 
to an arrest report.

Gabriel Harris, 33, was charged with resisting an officer 
with violence in the late-night incident and was out of 
the Volusia County Branch Jail on $1,000 bail, records show.

According to the report, Taco Bell workers called police 
at 3:10 a.m. Sunday after Harris and a woman, both 
intoxicated, would not leave the restaurant area at 
1860 State Road 44 in New Smyrna Beach.

Police found Harris on a bicycle by the menu speaker, a 
report states.

Aron Tobler, the employee, said he refused service to 
Harris and Sarah Haliburton because “they placed an order 
on bicycles” in the drive through window, the report 
states. Orders have to be placed at the menu speaker,
not at the pick-up window,   and before closing time.
Haliburton was not charged.

Police said Harris got to the restaurant after it closed 
at 3 a.m.

As police were asking Harris to leave, they spotted a red 
Swiss Army knife on Harris' belt loop and tried to reach 
for it. Harris grabbed the officer's wrist and Harris was 
promptly wrestled to the ground and handcuffed. Harris 
suffered a scraped forehead from that, police said.

>From Ben
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, and that there was no scheduled stop
for another hour."


Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Make Litter Box Tending Easier
Get 4 or 5 litter boxes of the same size. Fill each one 
with a few inches of litter, or however much you use. 
Stack one on top of another. My cat can jump into the 
top box. When it's time to change the litter just remove 
the top most box. I use inexpensive plastic "busing" 
tubs that I get from a webrestaurant supply store. 
They are 7 inches high, less than four dollars each 
and stack-able. If you put enough litter in each box 
and dispose of it before any moisture gets to the 
bottom of pan, you can just pour the used litter out 
and the bottom of the pan will be clean. I use wood 
stove pellets for litter.

the conditions we might run into, we drove on.   

Sure enough, we had gone only a short way up the High Rain   
Forest road when we saw a sign: "Ice 10 miles." Five miles   
farther on there was another: "Ice 5 miles." The next one   
was: "Ice 1/2 mile." We practically crept that half-mile.   

We came to the last sign. It was outside a small grocery,

Woman fighting crosswalk ticket, 
saying she was scared of the padded duck.



Police in New Jersey used an undercover cop dressed in a 
Donald Duck costume to bust dozens of drivers for failing 
to yield to a pedestrian on Halloween.

There are new traffic problems in Fort Lee — motorists who 
don’t yield to Donald Duck.

Police in the New Jersey town used an undercover officer, 
dressed in a Donald Duck costume, to bust dozens of drivers 
for failing to yield to a pedestrian on Halloween.

The costumed cop was hard to miss — the costume made the 
officers wearing it seem like they were 6-foot-4. Whenever 
Donald Duck stepped into a crosswalk and a motorist did 
not stop, uniformed cops pulled them over down the road 
and gave them a moving violation carrying a $230 fine, 
ABC News reported. Plus 2 points on their license.

The cop was well padded in the high visibility duck costume
to reduce injuries, when drivers did not stop, and was more 
than obvious enough, so that nobody could claim, they did 
not see him.

One bimbo complained, that she was scared of the big duck!

“They told me I was getting a ticket for not stopping for 
a duck,” motorist Karen Haigh told the TV station. “But 
it scared me. I’m a woman. This huge duck scared me.” 

Let's hope she will be charged with attempted murder!

They need a cop dressed as a granny or grampa,
and swinging a lead pipe to take out those expensive 
headlights, to mark the perps. Then painted fishlips 
won't have an excuse.

Chrome's site is not much help.
Hence, I defer to you.

Dear Frank
I use the "Downloads Button" from 
http://singleclickapps.com/downloads-app/
It shows in the left lower corner what has been downloaded.
So I hit that and get the request to RUN the update.

Without that button, you have to find where the update 
got saved to.
In my case, that is in
E:\Tools\Chrome
but only you know where you saved it to on your machine.
If you can't find it easily, just download it again, 
and this time park it in an easy to find spot.

You might want to start some organization, like I do with 
E:\Tools\Chrome
E:\Tools\FireFox
E:\Tools\McAfee
E:\Tools\RoboForm
etc., 
and always save stuff where it belongs.
Makes life a lot easier than having to search for it.

You CAN search for "ChromeSetup.exe" or "ChromeSetup", 
and double-click that, when you find it.

That will work too.

Wilbur got a job on the railways as a steward.  For the

ropes.  "It's very simple," said his tutor, "Just use diplomacy."

"What's diplomacy?" asked Wilbur.

"Watch me I'll show you".  Off they went down the train
corridor, rattling compartment doors, opening them with
special keys and offering tea or coffee.  When the tutor
steward flung open one door he was confronted with a
buck naked woman.  Without batting an eyelid he
asked "Tea or coffee, sir?"

The surprised woman took the cup of tea and he shut

"Wow, did you see that cutie!" Wilbur said excitedly.
"She had no clothes on.  But hey, why did you call her sir?"

"That's diplomacy!  I did not want to embarrass her".

Wilbur was most impressed with his teacher.

The parents in our cycling group were discussing the subject
of teenagers and their appetites. Most agreed that teenagers
would eat anything, anywhere and at any time. Some were
concerned that such appetites always made it hard to judge
when you should feed them because they were always grazing.

A veteran parent of six children told us of his method for
judging the true hunger of teenagers.

"I would hold up a piece of cold, cooked broccoli, and if
they were jumping and snapping at it, I figured they were
hungry enough to be fed."

crowd of juveniles fighting in the parking lot of CVS, 
according to the arrest report.

One of the participants said she and her cousins were at 
McDonalds when another woman and her daughters pulled up 
at CVS. An argument started in the parking lot, after 
which a fight broke out, the report said. One of the 
youths said she heard Patria Delois Holman screaming, 
“send her to the hospital,” encouraging one of the girls 
to continue striking another.

While one of the girls was “on the ground,” Holman 
“kicked (the victim) in the face and in the stomach,” 
according to the report. A witness reported seeing Holman 
kick the girl and yell encouragement at another girl.

Holman said she went to the Beal Parkway pharmacy to pick 
up medicine when a group of girls began taunting a relative, 
the report said. Holman told deputies that she was just 
“a mother” who didn’t want to see a child hurt and that 
the “situation is terrible.”

She denied striking anyone, according to the report. 
The girl had injuries to her face, arm and leg.

Holman is charged with child abuse without great bodily 
harm and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Her next scheduled court date is Dec. 16.

Most courts frown upon anyone mixing into a fight in
progress and participating. It will be interesting to see
what the results will be.

Re: No pictures in gmail

Dear Webby!
Dear Webby,
I just switched from corecomm webmail to Gmail. Only problem,
the graphics don't come through.Only the semaphone flag as
shown above.
 having fun,
Patti


Dear Patti
The pictures DO come through, it's just that you have them turned
off in the quickie-preview.

The Web page on-line Quickie preview in gmail is just that,
a preview, to sneak a peek at your mail at the cyber cafe at
lunch or while away from your main machine. Once back at
work or at home, wherever your main machine is, you haul
your mail down with Eudora, Thunderbird, Outlook, whatever.

To speed things up at the cybercafe, the sneak preview has
the pictures turned off by default. You CAN turn them on easily
enough after a bit of hunting around in the options.

They change the ways for turning the pictures on quite often,
but usually you can get at that by right-clicking the icon
for the hidden pictures.

Gmail is an excellent program, and it is great at what it does,
but it is not intended to be the final sorting and filing program.
Eudora, Thunderbird, Outlook, whatever, do that.

If you don't bother sorting mail into different boxes and just want
to use Gmail as your one and only mail program, spend half an
hour customizing it to your liking, and turn the pictures on at the
same time.

Have FUN!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Double Up Flat Pillows
Pillows, we all know, are costly but here is a tip to to 
stretch dollars for those buying new pillows. What I do 
when they go flat is to put two flat pillows in my pillow 
shams to have a nice plump sham. I even will use two in 
regular pillow covers for a nice big pillow, made out of 
two tired old flat ones.
By Leigh H. [1]

You can plump up flat pillows by putting a squirt of hair
conditioner into the final rinse when washing them. Then 
dry them with a tennis ball in the dryer, or on the line,
when the moon goes over high up, not near the horizon.
It makes no difference how much of the moon you see, just
where it goes over, high or low.

That makes a huge difference with feather pillows, but is
quite noticeable too with shredded foam pillows.

Have FUN!

A few years ago the battery in my beat-up VW Beetle had
died because I left the lights on overnight. I was in a hurry
to get to work on time so I ran into the house to get my wife
to give me a hand to start the car. I told her to get into our
second car, a prehistoric oversized gas guzzler, and use
it to push my car fast enough to start it. I pointed out to her
that because the VW had an automatic transmission, it
needed to be pushed at least 30mph for it to start.

She said "fine!" hopped into her car and drove off.

I sat there fuming wondering what she could be doing.

A minute passed by and when I saw her in the rear-view
mirror coming at me at about 40 mph, I suddenly realized
that I should have been a bit clearer with my directions...

NeoNazis in Germany

Neo-Nazis tricked into 
marching and Fundraising for Anti-Nazis

Neo-Nazis were tricked into raising money for an 
Anti-Nazi charity through their annual march in 
a small town in Germany.

Neo-Nazis were tricked into raising money for an anti-Nazi 
charity through their annual march in a small town in Germany.

Supporters of Hitler's Third Reich march through Wunsiedel - 
the burial site of Rudolf Hess - every November to mark 
National Heroes' Remembrance Day.

But this year, campaign group Right against Right convinced 
residents to donate 10 euro to a charity that helps people 
leave extremist groups for each metre the neo-Nazis marched.

Villagers even put up motivational signs along the route, 
and showered the neo-Nazis with confetti when they finished.

And they set up a stall providing snacks for the walkers 
under the banner 'Mein Mampf' - which translates as 'My Fight'.

"It was an absolute success," Inge Schuster, spokesman for 
the mayor of Wunsiedel, told The Local online newspaper.

"It created something positive out of the march, including 
the 10,000 euro donation for EXIT-Deutschland."

A Right Against Right spokesman said residents were sick of 
the sight of Neo-Nazis walking through their community 
each year.

"We could not stop them - but we could make them walk for 
something meaningful: and that is how for the first time 
a right-wing memorial march became a charity walk - 
without the participants knowing," he said.

The Neo-Nazis, who fight against illegal Muslim immigrants,
thought "Exit Deutschland" was about getting illegal 
Muslim immigrants out, not getting nazis out.

"For every metre they walked, 10 euros went to 
EXIT-Deutschland - a Nazi opt-out programme. The result: 
10,000 euros and lots of surprised right-wing extremists."

Ingredients
1 gallon water
1 cup ammonia (not the sudsy kind)
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup washing soda
Directions
Mix the ingredients until dissolved. You may want to 
test it on painted surfaces before using. I've never had 
it fade any paint, but you never know.

**Diary Of A Regular Joe**
For my birthday this year my wife purchased me a week
of private lessons at the local health club.


Though still in great shape from when I was on the
varsity chess team in high school, I decided it was a
good idea to go ahead and try it.


I called and made reservations with someone named
Tanya, who said she is a 26-year-old aerobics
instructor and athletic clothing model.


My wife seemed very pleased with how enthusiastic I was
to get started.


They suggested I keep an "exercise diary" to chart my
progress:


Day 1.
Started the morning at 6:00 AM. Tough to get up, but
worth it when I arrived at the health club and Tanya
was waiting for me.
She's something of a goddess, with blond hair and a
dazzling white smile.

She showed me the machines and took my pulse after five
minutes on the treadmill.
She seemed a little alarmed that it was so high, but I
think just standing next to her in that outfit of hers
added about ten points.

Enjoyed watching the aerobics class.
Tanya was very encouraging as I did my sit ups, though
my gut was already aching a little from holding it in
the whole time I was talking to her.

This is going to be GREAT!

Day 2.
Took a whole pot of coffee to get me out the door, but
I made it.
Tanya had me lie on my back and push this heavy iron
bar up into the air.
Then, she put weights on it, for heaven's sake!
Legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made
it the full mile.

Her smile made it all worth while.

Muscles ALL feel GREAT.

Day 3.
The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the
tooth brush on the counter and moving my mouth back and
forth over it.
I am certain that I have developed a hernia in both
pectorals.

Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer.
I parked on top of a Volkswagen.

Tanya was a little impatient with me and said my
screaming was bothering the other club members.
The treadmill hurt my chest so I did the stair monster.

Why would anyone invent a machine to simulate an
activity rendered obsolete by the invention of
elevators?

Tanya told me regular exercise would make me live
longer.
I can't imagine anything worse.

Day 4.
Tanya was waiting for me with her vampire teeth in a
full snarl.
I can't help it if I was half an hour late, it took me
that long just to tie my shoes.
She wanted me to lift dumbbells.

Not a chance, Tanya.
The word "dumb" must be in there for a reason.
I hid in the men's room until she sent Lars looking for
me. As punishment she made me try the rowing machine...
It sank.

Day 5.
I hate Tanya more than any human being has ever hated
any other human being in the history of the world.
If there was any part of my body not in extreme pain I
would hit her with it.

She thought it would be a good idea to work on my
triceps. Well I have news for you Tanya - I don't HAVE triceps.
And if you don't want dents in the floor don't hand me
any barbells. I refuse to accept responsibility for the
damage.
YOU went to sadist school, YOU are to blame.

The treadmill flung me back into a science teacher,
which hurt like crazy. Why couldn't it have been
someone softer, like a music teacher, or social
studies?

Day 6.
Got Tanya's message on my answering machine, wondering
where I am. I lacked the strength to use the TV remote so I watched
eleven straight hours of the weather channel.

Day 7.
Well, that's the week.
Thank goodness that's over.

Maybe next time my wife will give me something a little
more fun, like a gift certificate for a root canal.

Kyndric Wilson, 23, Mary Esther, Floriduh

Driver nearly collided with deputy; 
jailed on drug charges

A 23-year-old Mary Esther man was arrested on drug charges 
after allegedly backing up against traffic, nearly colliding 
with a deputy.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s deputy was doing traffic 
enforcement on Hickory Street in Niceville on Nov. 8, 
according to the arrest report. He saw a vehicle driven 
by Kyndric Dallas Wilson backing up “in the opposite 
direction of traffic onto Range Road,” requiring the 
deputy to brake to prevent a collision.

The deputy pulled Wilson over, and smelled marijuana 
coming from inside the vehicle, the report said. When 
asked about the marijuana, Wilson pulled out a small 
bud from the door and a glass jar with 23.5 grams of 
marijuana from the back seat.

Wilson was arrested and a search found five rocks of 
crack cocaine in the vehicle, according to the report.

He is charged with possession of cocaine and possession 
of more than 20 grams of marijuana.

His next scheduled court date is Dec. 16.

Dear Richb70
That is normal and to be expected from Yahoo.
They do that to all the yahoos every now and then, for no 
apparent reason. Just routine Yahoo malfunction.

You can try screeching a temper tantrum at Yahoo support, 
sometimes that  helps.

I am a member of the "Freecycle" group, a clean and well 
behaved group with a very low volume of mail, but half the 
time it does not work either. Since the group organizers 
refuse to move away from Yahoo, there is nothing anybody 
can do about it. Except laugh at the thilly yahoos.

Jimmie, an 80-year-old gentleman, retired to Florida after his wife of 58
years had passed away. He was quite alone in the world and longed for
companionship. One day, as he was walking through a public park, he spied
what he considered to be a very pretty silver-haired lady sitting alone on a
park bench. Getting his nerve up, he approached the lady and asked
graciously, "Pardon me, ma'am, but may I sit here with you."

The silver-haired Marcia looked up to see a distinguished looking
white-haired gentleman and replied, "Why certainly," and scooted over gently
to give him room to sit down.

For the next two hours the two sat and talked about everything. They
discovered that they came from the same part of the country, liked the same
big band music, voted for the same presidential candidates, had long happy
marriages and lost their spouses in the last year, and in general agreed
about almost everything.

Finally, the old gentleman cleared his throat and asked sheepishly, "Ma' am,
may I ask you two questions?"

With great anticipation Marcia replied, "Why certainly!"

The old gentleman removed a handkerchief from his coat pocket and spread it
out on the ground before her. He very gingerly got down on one knee and
looked her softly in the eyes.

"Marcia, I know we've only known each other for a couple of hours, but we

She put a straight pin in a tree that was about 200 feet
from her front porch.

When her beau arrived, they sat in the porch swing and were
talking when she suddenly stopped the conversation and
asked, "Is that a pin sticking in that tree?"

Her friend squinted his eyes and said, "I don't see a

"Well, I'm going to go see," she said as she jumped up,

James Touchstone, 48, Fort Pierce, Florida

Balloon-wielding man 
busted after rampage at Fort 
Pierce auto dealer

A man accused of running around a car dealership with balloons 
after downing a bottle of booze and possibly chasing people 
with a machete was arrested, according to statements in a 
recently released arrest affidavit.

The case against James Touchstone, 48, began about 5:45 p.m. 
as a St. Lucie County Sheriff’s deputy went to the listed 
address of a Kia dealership on South U.S. 1 to help with an 
impaired driver, the affidavit states.

The deputy spotted a Kia Sorrento with a damaged fender in 
the parking lot. The doors were open and an empty bottle of 
Seagram’s gin was on the floorboard.

Touchstone, who smelled of booze, was in custody outside 
another deputy’s vehicle “yelling profanities and attempting 
to flee,” the affidavit states.

Touchstone yelled that he’d imbibed “a bottle of alcohol 
but has been off crack for three years,” the affidavit 
states.

Meanwhile, witnesses said Touchstone pulled in the parking 
lot and started cursing and throwing things at customers 
and staff members.

“He then ran across the street to (another) dealership, 
grabbed some balloons, returned and started to run around 
the parking lot with the balloons in hand while yelling at 
anyone he came in contact with,” the affidavit states.

After Touchstone, listed as a “violent felony offender of 
special concern,” was put in the back of a patrol car, he 
kicked out the rear passenger window.

A passenger in Touchstone’s vehicle told investigators that 
Touchstone hit a light pole in a parking lot in the area of 
Avenue M and North 13th Street. That person also said 
Touchstone got a machete and chased people at a gas station.

Touchstone, of Wilton Manors, was arrested on charges 
including criminal mischief, DUI, driving while license 
suspended, habitual offender and resist officer without much
violence.

Tip: Use Scrubbing Bubbles for Hard Water Spots
My husband read so many solutions on removing hard water 
spots on windows, but nothing ever worked for him. The 
windshield on our motor home was so stained from the water 
that would run down it, that we tried everything on the 
market just like so many others. We bought so many products 
from acid wash, scrub with SOS, to Comet.
I always use Scrubbing Bubbles for everything in my house. 
I told my husband for so long to try Scrubbing Bubbles but 
he always told me, "No that isn't going to work", until 
one day when he was frantic, he did try Scrubbing Bubbles 
along with extra fine steel wool. He couldn't believe his 
eyes. The glass is crystal clear and just like new. Now 
he won't use anything else just like I won't use any other 
product except for Scrubbing Bubbles inside.
So every one who is at their worst with hard water spots 
please use this product. It really does work. I know this 
sounds like a infomercial, just try for yourself.
Scrubbing Bubbles Fan!

Joseph Wantz

West Boca, 
Floriduh
Robber pretends to be 
witness after pizza heist

Pizza delivery man robbed at gunpoint in West Boca
West Boca man accused of robbing a pizza delivery man tried 
to come forward as a witness and accused his cousin of being 
the robber, according to a Palm Beach County sheriff's 
arrest report.

Joseph Wantz, 26, faces charges of robbery and aggravated 
assault with a firearm after the robbery on Tuesday.

The Pizza Hut delivery man of two years said he went to a 
home in the 11000 block of Watergate Circle on 10:30 p.m. 
after getting an order for $107 worth of pizza, bread 
sticks and soda.

The caller said the food was for a party and then another 
phone call from another number had a woman asking the 
driver to bring cash for change, according to the report.

But when the driver got there, he told a deputy he grew 
suspicious when he saw no cluster of cars for a party. 
That's when Wantz put a gun to the delivery man's head 
and demanded all the money and food before walking away, 
according to the report.

A deputy said he learned two people had stepped forward as 
witnesses. One of them was Wantz, who told the deputies he 
saw the robbery and that his cousin did it, according to 
the report.

As deputies, they got a call on Wednesday about a disturbance 
between Wantz and another man at a residence. Inside the 
home, deputies said they saw two empty pizza boxes in the 
trash.

After the delivery man identified Wantz in a photo lineup as 
the robber, investigators questioned a friend of Wantz's. 
She said Wantz came up to her at about 1 a.m. Wednesday 
and showed her a gun and told her he did a "lick," or 
robbery.

Deputies said the gun later was found to be a BB gun.
When deputies questioned Wantz, he implicated his cousin 
in the robbery, the report said. He said his cousin 
looked similar to him. He went on to say he wasn't 
"the only one going down for this," according to the 
report.

Wantz was booked into Palm Beach County Jail, where he 
is held without bail.

Most modern keyboards can handle that without any problem.
Take the screws off the back and take the back off, and

After that, attach the back cover again and try it.

Terry Turnage
50
Memphis, Tennessee

Worst Deadbeat Dad 
Now Has 26 Kids

The Tennessee deadbeat who has fathered 26 children with 
20 different women has again been ordered by a judge to 
make child support payments, this time for a two-year-old 
Arkansas boy, court records show.

Terry Turnage, a 50-year-old Memphis resident, was ordered 
this month to pay $60 per week to Miesha Davis, mother of 
the pair’s son Ja’Voin. The support order came as a result 
of a paternity complaint filed on Davis’s behalf by 
Arkansas’s Office of Child Support Enforcement.

A Circuit Court judge also ordered Turnage to “maintain 
health care insurance” for the child “when reasonably 
available” through his employer, and pay $365 in court fees.

In addition to Davis, two other Arkansas women have recently 
secured child support orders against Turnage, who has gained 
notoriety for impregnating assorted Tennessee women (many 
of whom also have secured child support orders to which 
Turnage has failed to adhere).

According to Arkansas court records, state officials have 
filed income withholding notices with a Memphis company that 
operates a McDonald’s restaurant where Turnage has supposedly 
worked (and earned $247.28 weekly).

However, it appears that Turnage has a stake in a Forrest 
City, Arkansas nightclub that lists its owner as Turnage’s 
son, Terry Jr.. The elder Turnage is a regular at Club Envy, 
where he last month hosted a two-day party celebrating his 
50th birthday. The club’s address is listed as Turnage’s 
residence in some court papers.

In addition to his assorted child support cases, Turnage 
is facing a felony charge of making terroristic threats. 
Investigators allege that Turnage threatened a Forrest 
City businessman from whom he had purchased an automobile 
that did not run any more.

In a June 2 written statement, the victim told cops that 
Turnage warned that if he did not have the Chevrolet repaired 
and delivered to the Club Envy parking lot, “he would shoot 
me or my wife.” The man added that Turnage “led me to believe 
that he had a gun and that he was willing and able to carry 
through” on his repeated threats.

Turnage, who is unwilling to support his offspring, paid the 
businessman $10,000 in cash for the 2005 Corvette.

If convicted of the felony charge, Turnage faces a maximum 
of six years in state prison. He is being represented by a 
public defender after filing an “affidavit of indigency” 
in late-September.

Dear Karen
It's about the same as Microsoft Office, picks up
Open Standard and Microsoft proprietary files and
saves them in whatever format you select.

Changing from Microsoft Office to Open Office is about 
as difficult as changing browsers, for example changing
from Internet Explorer, when that has security problems,
to FireFox or Chrome. 

Some menu items are in different places, and a few commands
have names, that make more sense. Not a big deal at all.
Sure, for a few days you'll be slowed down a bit, until you
get used to the new locations of some of the menu selections,
but I found it very intuitive and no problem at all.

Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?"
But the initials really stand for "What would Jesus drive?"

One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth
because "the Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out of the
Garden of Eden in a Fury."

But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a
Geo. The passage urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies
with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm."

Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses'
followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's
horn sounds a long blast." Some scholars insist that Jesus
drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about it. As proof, they
cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd,
"For I did not speak of my own Accord."

Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as
evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of
Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills."

Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler:
"Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land."And,
following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled in a
Honda: "The Apostles were in one Accord."

of aluminum foil into a ball and toss it into the dryer. 
It eliminates static cling, lasts a long, long time, and 
costs practically nothing!

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer.
All of a sudden he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish."

Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming
voice the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful
to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish".

The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over
anytime I want to."

The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the
logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to
reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would
take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire
for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another
wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me."

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord,
I have been married and divorced four times. All of my wives said
that I am uncaring and insensitive. I wish that I could understand
women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking
when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean
when they say "nothing" and how I can make a woman truly happy."

After a few minutes God said,
"Do you want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

John asks his wife, Mary what she wants to celebrate
their 40th wedding anniversary. "Would you like a new
Mink Coat?" he asks.

"Not really," says Mary.

"Well how about a new Mercedes sports car?" says John.

"No," she responds.

"What about a new vacation home in the country?" he
suggests. She again rejects his offer with a 

"No thanks."

"Well what would you like for your anniversary?" John asks.

"John, I'd like a divorce," answers Mary.

"Sorry, I wasn't planning to spend quite that much," says John.
