Two paramedics were dispatched to check on an elderly man
who had become disoriented. They decided to take him to the
hospital for evaluation.

En route, with siren going, they questioned the man to
determine his level of awareness.

Leaning close, one asked, "Sir, do you know what we're doing
right now?"

The old man slowly looked out the ambulance window. "Oh,"
he replied, "I'd say about 50, maybe 55."

Had to send you this true story:
My niece has 4 kids and was breast feeding the baby when #3 child,
Jack wanted to climb up into her lap. During the process he was
using his elbows to push his way up and hit her other breast so
she said 'watch the elbows Jack'. When Grandmother came over
later, Jack climbed up into her lap, patted her rather ample bosom
and said 'I like your elbows, Grandma'. Needless to say, they will
always be elbows to us from now on!

Attacker is fatally beaten and stabbed
by victim’s mother and sister

A man who broke into a South Pasadena home and attacked his
estranged girlfriend died after he was stabbed and beaten by the
woman’s mother and sister Saturday morning, authorities said.

The man threw a large concrete paver through the front window of a
home in the 500 block of Five Oaks Drive, stepped inside and began
choking the woman and punching her in the face, said Los Angeles
County Sheriff’s Lt. Barry Hall.

The woman’s mother and sister came to her aid, stabbing the man
with a kitchen knife and beating him with a golf club, Hall said.

“They tried to pull him off, and it didn’t work; he was too
strong,” Hall said. “So they had to resort to using weapons.”

South Pasadena police officers responding to a report of domestic
violence entered through the shattered window and found the man,
who was pronounced dead at the scene by the South Pasadena Fire
Department, authorities said. The L.A. County coroner’s office
identified him as Justin Goss, 40, of Glendale.

The woman, 37, was taken to a hospital, treated for injuries to
her face and released, officials said.

Her mother and sister were not facing charges, according to
authorities.

“They were well within their right to act in defense of their
sister and daughter,” Hall said.

RE: What is better, Open or Libre


Dear Webby,
Which is better, Open Office or Office Libre?
Enna

Dear Enna
Both office suites offer document templates, but LibreOffice
provides more built-in ready-to-use templates than OpenOffice. ...
Winner: LibreOffice because features such as templates and Wizards
appear to be easier to use and access. Overall, however, both have
many of the same features and capabilities.

For everyday work, it makes no difference. I doubt you will notice
any difference if you use one at work and the other one at home.

Have FUN!

The following responses were received during a newspaper contest
in which
contestants from ages 4 to 15 were asked to provide their own
"Deep
Thoughts" (like those prepared by Jack Handey).
    * I believe you should live each day as if it is your last,
which is
why I don't have any clean laundry because, come on, who wants to
wash
clothes on the last day of their life? --Age 15
    * Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace
to accept
the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money. --Age 13
    * It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the
president's
birthday, like they do for the queen's. Of course, then we would
have a lot
of people voting for a candidate born on July 3 or December 26,
just for
the long weekends. --Age 8
    * Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about
letting
just any old yokel vote. --Age 10
    * Home is where your house is. --Age 6
    * For centuries, people thought the moon
was made of green cheese. Then the astronauts found that the moon
is really a big hard rock. That's what happens to cheese when you
leave it out. --Age 6

    * As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set
aside a few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you'll have
a couple of days saved up. --Age 7

    * Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my
teacher. That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number. --
Age 15

    * It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into
an accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed
it, the blood would be right there. --Age 5

    * Think of the biggest number you can. Now add five. Then,
imagine if you had that many Twinkies. Wow, that's five more than
the biggest number you could come up with! --Age 6

    * The only stupid question is the one that is never asked,
except maybe "Don't you think it is about time you audited my
return?" or "Isn't it morally wrong to give me a warning when, in
fact, I was speeding?" --Age 15

    * If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and
visualize world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it
would be until the looting started. --Age 15

After tucking their three-year-old child Sammy in bed one night,
his parents heard sobbing coming from his room.

Rushing back in, they found him crying hysterically.  He managed
to tell them that he had swallowed a penny and he was sure he was
going to die. No amount of talking was helping.

His father, in an attempt to calm him down, palmed a penny from
his pocket and pretended to pull it from Sammy's ear.  Sammy was
delighted.

In a flash, he snatched it from his father's hand, swallowed it,
and then cheerfully demanded, "Do it again, Dad!"

A lady came to the hospital to visit a friend. She had not been in
a hospital for several years and felt uneasy, not knowing about
all the new technology. A technician followed her onto the
elevator, wheeling a large, intimidating looking machine with
tubes and wires and dials.

"Boy, would I hate to be hooked up to that thing," she said.

"So would I," replied the technician. "It's a floor-cleaning
machine."
