Good Morning,  !
It's Thursday, September 2, 2010
September first was the end of the "Celebrate The Date" newsletter,
a daily newsletter dedicated to trivia and history. 

I simply don't have the time any more. If anybody is interested
in buying that list, let me know. There are about 3000 subscribers,
and it is ranked third from the top at the Ezinefinder. 

If somebody is interested in that topic and has time, there is
good potential for income there. However, if you can not spare
an hour per day, don't bother. Once you get the hang of it, 
it will take less time, of course, but initially you should budget
at least an hour per day.

Newsletters or "Lists" like that usually sell for $1 to $3 per 
subscriber. So, if you can double your number of subscribers,
then you double your investment.

Also known as 'women's intuition,' this sixth sense
thing is no myth. Women usually seem to know what's
going on in their man's lives almost better than they
do themselves. Why is this?

They empty his pockets before throwing his laundry into
the washing machine.


A drunk walks into a bar and says to the bartender
(with a drunken slur), "Tarbender, buy everyone in the
houshe a drink, pour yourschelf one, and gimme the
bill."

So the bartender does just that and hands the man a bill
for $57.
The drunk says, "I haven't got it."
The bartender slaps the guy around a few times, then
throws him out into the street.

The very next day the same drunk walks into the bar and
once again says (with a drunken slur), "Tarbender, buy
everyone in the houshe a drink, pour yourschelf one, and
gimme the bill."

The bartender looks at the guy and figures to himself
that he can't possibly be stupid enough to pull the same
trick twice. So he gives him the benefit of the doubt,
pours a round of drinks for the house, has a drink
himself and hands the drunk a bill for $67.
The drunk says, "I haven't got it."

The bartender can't believe it. He picks the guy up,
beats the living daylights out of him, then throws him
out into the street.

The next day the same drunk walks back into the same bar
and says (with a drunken slur), "Tarbender, buy everyone
in the houshe a drink, gimme the bill."

In disgust, the bartender says, "What, no drink for me
this time?"

The drunk replies, "You? No way! You get way too violent
when you drink."

A young boy came to Sunday School late. His teacher
knew that he was usually very prompt and asked him if
anything was wrong.

The boy replied no, that he was going fishing but his
dad told him that he needed to go to church.

The teacher was very impressed and asked the boy if
his dad had explained to him why it was more important to
go to church than to go fishing.

The boy replied: "Yes he did. Dad said he didn't have
enough bait for both of us."

Brain damaged idiot tries electrocution and sues teacher
 DOVER, N.H. — A New Hampshire high school student shocked 
 so severely in shop class that his heart stopped beating is 
 suing his teacher, the school district and the city of Dover.

Kyle Dubois and his parents claim teacher Thomas Kelley did 
not warn Dubois and other students of the dangers of the 
electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trades class.

On March 11, Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one 
nipple while another student attached another clamp to the 
other. A third student plugged in the cord.

Dubois claims he was apparently injured.
The New Hampshire Union Leader says Dubois' suit contends 
his brain damage is due to that brain dead activity.

Kelley resigned from his teaching position about a month after 
the incident.

Re: What is RAID back-up?

Dear Webby,
I hear a lot about RAID back-up being the best type, but with
my limited knowledge and experience, I either don't fully
understand it, or have real doubts about it's reliability.
Wouldn't simultaneously writing the same stuff onto two drives
just duplicate any problems?
 Cindy

Dear Cindy
You and me are in the same camp.
In the old days, when hard drives physically wore out in a 
couple of years, some people thought it was a good idea, 
to have a new drive writing the same stuff as the old drive.
That concept apparently sold more drives than simply replacing
the before they wore out.

Nowadays, when drives last a long time, and the threat of
data loss is mostly due to hackers or software malfunction or
user mistakes, the RAID concept does not make sense any more.
Intelligent back-ups once a day protect your data much better,
even though some techs will grumble about having to write a 
script that does that automatically.

Have FUN!

The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was
asked whether or not she'd have children if she had it
to do over again.

"Sure," she replied, "but definitely not the same
ones."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Keep Your Garden Pots Moist With a Diaper
Help your pots and hanging baskets keep some moisture by 
adding a baby diaper in the pot. If you decide to take away 
the plastic, be sure to water soak the diaper first before 
emptying the contents into the soil. The dust from the dry 
contents is not healthy if inhaled. I soak the diapers before 
putting them in my pots. They hold a lot of water.

A father asked his son, Little Johnny, if he knew
about the birds and the bees.
"I don't want to know!" Little Johnny said, exploding
and bursting into tears. Confused, his father asked
Little Johnny what was wrong.

"Oh Pop," Johnny sobbed, "for me there was no Santa
Claus at age 5, no Easter Bunny at 6, and no Tooth
Fairy at 7. And if you're going to tell me now that
grownups don't really have sex, I've got nothing left
to believe in!"

Two Yuppettes were shopping. When they started to
discuss their home lives, one said,
"Seems like all Alfred and I do anymore is fight. I've
been so upset, I've lost 20 pounds."

"Why don't you just leave him then?" asked her friend.

"Oh, No! I can't." the first replied, "I need to lose
at least another fifteen pounds first."
