The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people,
they think it's their fault.

Humor is always based on a modicum of truth.
Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?
--- Dick Clark
Over dinner one evening, a wife says to her husband,
"I met this horrible and rude man downtown this morning, and
right away I knew he was a troublemaker. He started to insult
me. He used really bad language. He even threatened me!"
"How did you meet this fellow?" her husband asked, very
concerned.
"Well," she says, "we met by accident. I backed into his
wheelchair with the car."
A young mother finds out she is pregnant again, and she tells
the good news to anyone who will listen. One day when the
woman and the boy are out shopping, a friend of the mother
asks the little boy if he was excited about the new baby.
"Oh, yes!" the little tyke says. And having overheard some of
his parents' private conversations, he adds, "And I know what
we are going to name it, too. If it's a girl we're going to call it
Mary, and if it's another boy we're going to call it Quits."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
goes to Jason Botos, 30, Papillon, nebraska
Nebraska. man too drunk for DUI sentencing
PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) - Authorities said a 30-year-old-man
showed up so drunk for his sentencing for drunken driving that
he missed his hearing and now faces even more time behind
bars. Authorities said Jason Botos was driven to the Papillion
courthouse on Thursday by his father, who needed help from
deputies to get his son out of the vehicle.
Prosecutor Ben Perlman said Botos was so drunk he couldn't
attend the hearing, so the judge issued a warrant. Deputies
arrested Botos in the parking lot.
Another hearing is set for Tuesday. A jail spokeswoman said
Botos remained in custody Friday.
Botos had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving in a
September 2009 collision with five other vehicles.

Re: snmaster.idx database file is missing
Dear dr. webby, I think I need someone to take my computer licence
away from me.
I have this message coming up telling me I need to reinstall this file
( snmaster.idx database file is missing )
I have no idea where or how it went missing. You are the best there
is because you have always helped when I am in trouble & I think
this missing file maybe the reason I can not get my McAfee to run.
HELP !!!
As always Thank You for being here able to help.
Mary
Dear Mary
If it was up to me, I would not take away your computer license.
I would take away your AOL and force you to graduate.
From what I read, that problem is a pissing contest between
AOL 9 and VISTA,
and if you are using the AOL version of McAfee instead of the
full version, then McAfee won't work either. You are in the slum,
and you are naked.
There is a LOT of writing about that problem on the net,
however, no two people seem to agree on how to fix the problem.
They all seem to agree, though,
1) that calling AOL support is a waste of time, and that
2) switching to Vista was a dumb move.
Try deleting your AOL desktop shortcut, and make a new one.
That worked for one AOLer.
Another one had luck with downloading that file from
daol.aol.com/software/91 and re-installing it.
Without that file apparently you can not even do a clean UN-install of AOL,
since it not only has your password, but also the master record
of all the various mysterious places where AOL hid files.
Have FUN!

A Scottish lad and lass were sitting together on a heathery
hill in the Highlands. They had been silent for a while, when
the lass said, "A penny for your thoughts."
The lad was a bit abashed, but he finally said,
"Well, I was thinkin' how nice it would be if ye'd give me
a wee bit of a kiss."
So she did so. But he again lapsed into a pensive mood
which lasted long enough for the lass to ask him,
"What are ye thinkin' now?"
To which the lad grumbled, "Well, I was hopin' ye hadn't
forgot the penny!"

Insulate Windows With Bubblewrap
A great way to insulate windows in the winter and summer,
is to use Bubblewrap. It not only insulates, but it still lets light in.
It won't grow mold, and can be washed. I put it inside my windows.
You can hang it up with just a few tacks or push-pins.
By JLS
If at all possible, use double-sided tape and attach
the bubble wrap 7 cm (2 1/2 inches) from the glass, with un-vented
dead air space between the glass and the bubble-wrap. That is the
absolute optimal distance for insulating that way, but anything from
one to three inches is still excellent.
If the window is hinged, you can make a frame froim 2x2's and
stretch the bubble-wrap over that frame, then attach that frame
to the window. That way you can open the window without
any fuss.
Unless you want a hot-box for pre-heating the water for the
water heater or pool, make sure windows that are insulated
that way, are shaded in summer or have blinds or shutters
on the OUTSIDE.
That 7cm trick of course also works for greenhouses. If you
see somebody upgrading their windows, try to get the old
single pane windows to make a simple lean-to greenhouse
on a side of the house or apartment balcony. Just make sure
that the glass is on the outside. UV from the sunlight destroys
bubble-wrap in one season. Glass stops the UV.
Unless you want boiled tomatoes, you will have to provide
venting on hot summer days. That trick works a lot better
than you expect.
Have FUN!

A cardiac specialist died and at his funeral the coffin was
placed in front of a huge mock up of a heart made up of
flowers. When the pastor finished with the sermon and
eulogy, and after everyone said their good-byes, the heart
opened, the coffin rolled inside and the heart closed.
Just then one of the mourners burst into laughter.
The guy next to him asked: "Why are you laughing?"
"I was thinking about my own funeral" the man replied.
"What's so funny about that?"
"I'm a proctologist."
