Good Morning, Do! Today is Tuesday, June 4 Saw the pictures of the BIG Gala dinner Queen Elizabeth gave for Donald Trump and Melania. Most of the women wor a fancy diamond tiara, Melania wore a smile. Wooohooo! She looked HOT! Donald looked quite unhappy about having to wear a silly and ill fitting shirt and jacket, but nobody looked at him. Everybody looked at Melania, and drooled. She is the ONLY one at that huge banquet, that I would kill for.  Charles, Prince of Wales, who is going to be king when he grows up, had the honor of escorting Melania into the gala. Donald escorted the queen. All told, the Trump Gala was a great success and showed that the queen can really put on a fantastic party with better than military precision.

 ___________________________________________________    An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Jussie Smollett, 51, 36, Chicago, Illinois  Jussie Smollett Paid For Pot, Cocaine, Ecstasy Via Venmo  
 A police examination of Jussie Smollett's text messages revealed that on various occasions over the past year, the actor/hoaxster requested that an associate procure him cocaine, Ecstasy, and marijuana, the payment for which was transmitted via the Venmo app. Smollett's alleged narcotics purchases are referred to in a police report that was among hundreds of pages of documents released today by the Chicago Police Department. The material details the department's investigation of Smollett's claim that he was the victim of a hate crime attack in late-January. Pictured above, Smollett was eventually charged with fabricating the assault tale. Investigators alleged that Smollet paid $3500 to two brothers--Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo--to help stage the attack. In late-March, the Cook County prosecutor dropped criminal charges against the 36-year-old performer, a decision that was blasted by Chicago's mayor and police commanders. A search warrant for telephone records revealed communications between Smollett and his drug contact that began in late-February 2018. It appears that the search warrant was for the phone records of Smollett's associate (who appears to have been Olabinjo Osundairo). In the texts, Smollett would request "weed, molly, or Whitney," according to the report. In particular, weed is slang for cannabis, molly is slang for extacy, and whitney is slang for cocaine, an investigator wrote. The report contends that there were multiple occasions when Smollett apparently used Venmo to pay for "illicit activity" that was claimed as payments for legitimate expenses. For example, cops say that when Smollett paid $100 for Ecstasy pills in September 2018, he listed Training as the reason for the Venmo transfer. During the police probe, a Chicago detective contacted a Venmo official who agreed to preserve records of Smollett's account until police could secure a subpoena for those documents. Some democrat DA will probably let him go free, again.  DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Tamara Re: Laptop battery  DearWebby, Hey there! Quick question, about the battery on my computer So I took your advice, I took the battery off and went had a couple beers and then I came back but the battery back in turned it on and I was able to put in my microchip from my camera and download my pictures I went to edit And the whole thing shut down. The batteries like fat. Do you don't have an extra battery kicking around there that you could throw down this way do you do a Pollo Newfoundlander? Or have any other ideas about how to make this stupid thing work LOL your friend technology ignorant... Tamara  Dear Tamara DON'T put the bad battery back in. Just leave the computer unplugged for 2 - 5 minutes, then plug the charger back in, with the bad battery safely in the garbage bin. Then start the computer. It will run fine on the charger without the battery. Naturally, it will shut off every time you have a power failure, just like the desktop machines do, and you will have to go through the same rigamarole again. Just put a dollar into the piggy bank every time you have a beer, and you will have the money for a new battery in no time flat. In the meantime, find out who has the best price for the type of battery you need. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Thanks to Rolla for this story: My bathroom is in the back of the house and it's hard to hear when anyone is on the property. One morning while getting ready for work, and thinking I was the only one at home, I kept hearing something crawl around under my bathroom floor. Thinking that somehow the neighbor's cat had gotten under the house, I began stomping the floor hard and shouting at the top of my lungs, "Get out of there!" and "Stop that!" Finally, the moving stopped so I finished what I was doing and left for work. When I returned home that evening, I found a note that the exterminators had been there for their annual inspection. I turned to my husband and said, "Honey, do the exterminators crawl around under the house?" He said, "Sure, why?" That's when I burst out laughing. It took me several minutes to tell my husband what I had done. He cracked up at the thought of me standing in the bathroom stomping and shouting, and he said, "It's a good thing he didn't answer you back or you would have keeled over dead!"
