The wife dropped her fork and went into a long explanation about how much she loved him and how life wouldn't be the same without him. She must have seen the confused look on her husbands face, because she inquired, "What did you ask me?" When he told her what he'd asked, the wife laughed and said, "I thought you asked me if I would marry you again!" Later, as she was cleaning up the kitchen, the husband called out, "Hey, hon, WOULD you marry me again?" Without hesitation she replied, "Vinegar and barbecue sauce." _____________________________________________________   Robert D.

"What are you talking about? Bring him in. I want to meet my new son-in-law." Anni brings him in and to her consternation her mother sees a black man standing before her wearing a big grin, a feathered cod piece, an enormous head dress, animal tooth beads and he is holding a very tall spear in an upright position.

 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Chuck RE: Gmail out of space panic   Dear Webby, My Gmail claims it is out of space and that I will be unable to receive more mail. What do I have to do now? I don't want to buy extra space with monthly billing! I looked on the help forums, but they are no help, just everybodt whining about there not being an option to dump old years. Chuck  Dear Chuck Yes, the forums may help on some topics, but not that. Google wants you to pay $27 or more per year for extra storage. Dumping old years would eliminate the need for more space, so they will axe any suggestion for doing that. Charging people $27.95 for ancient stuff, that they will never look at again, is, -in my not so humble opinion-, a stupidity tax. Well, here is the tax refund: 1) dump the trash 2) dump the spam 3) make a hot-key for "Select All" To make that more difficult, they renamed that to "Keyboard Shortcuts". Click on the little gear near top right See All Settings Scoot down to Keyboard Shortcuts and turn them ON Then click on Keyboard Shortcuts Yes, I know, this is a hassle, but remember, you are fighting the emperor and his demand for 27 Trillion bucks. In there find "Select all conversations" and assign the "`" key to that. ` is the top left key on the keyboard, to the left of the 1 Then find "Delete" and assign the 1 to it. Assigning those keys to those commands is extremely important, and you only have to do it once. After that, all your devices that get onto Gmail will be able to use those hotkeys, ahem "Keyboard Shortcuts" in yuppie language. Got that done? Good! Reward yourself with a coffee. Now go back to the INBOX On top of the mail subject lines you see 1-00 of .... If it is not 1-100, change it to 100 Put the cursor on it and select OLDEST. That puts your oldest mails on top. Now hit your hotkeys! Select All Delete 100 of the oldest mails are GONE! Just keep whacking those two keys and dump ancient emails that you will never going to re-read anyway. After you did that for a while and check space, you are still high! Well, the emperor does not let you go without a fight. Deleting stuff does not really delete it. It just relables it with it's location marked as TRASH. It is still on the same shelf, but got a TRASH sticker on it. OK, so dump the TRASH. It will ask you if you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to dump the trash. OK, dump it. NOW look at the space used / available. Next time you are on the phone waiting for somebody at the bank to wake up, Check that you got OLDEST selected, and whack your two hotkeys. It will take some time to get from 2004 to last year, but having all that space again is worth it! `1 `1 `1 `1 Have FUN! DearWebby

 Greg called up his lawyer to tell him he was filing for divorce, and the lawyer inquired as to the grounds for the suit. "I've got grounds, all right," sputtered Greg. "Can you believe Keli told me I'm a lousy lover?" "That's why you're suing?" pursued his lawyer. "Of course not. I'm suing because she knows the difference." _____________________________________________ A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he is not sure if sex is work or play. So he goes to a priest and ask for his opinion on this question. After consulting the Bible, the priest says, "My son, after an exhaustive search, I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted on Sundays" The man thinks: "What does a priest know about sex?" So he goes to a minister who, after all, is a married man and experienced in this matter. He queries the minister and receives the same reply. Sex is work and therefore not for the Sabbath! Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out a Rabbi, a man of thousands of years tradition and knowledge. The Rabbi ponders the question, then states, "My son, sex is definitely play." The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others tell me sex is work?" The Rabbi softly speaks, "My son, if sex were work, my wife would have the maid do it." ____________________________________________ >From MaryLou We live in the country and have to carry our drinking water. One night I had made a pitcher of lemonade for dinner. My husband was quietly drinking his. When I picked mine up and took a drink, I had to run to the sink, choking and gagging, and spit it out. Instead of water, I had made the lemonade with white vinegar! "Why didn't you say something? I could have choked to death!" I yelled at him. "I've been eating your cooking for 30 years," he answered. I guess I'm just used to it." You see, I used to carry water in vinegar jugs, but not anymore!
