 Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people. --- Kin Hubbard (1868 - 1930) Where facts are few, experts are many. --- Donald R. Gannon ______________________________________________________ The local priest came across Paddy who had stumbled out of the town tavern.

If it is returned, he will pay a reward of $2,000."

After a while, the preacher asks anyone with needs to come forward and be prayed over. Bubba gets in line. When it's his turn the preacher says, "Bubba, what you want me to pray about?" Bubba says, "Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing." So the preacher puts one finger in Bubba's ear and the other hand on top of his head and prays a while. After a few minutes, he removes his hands and says, "Bubba, how's your hearing now?" Bubba says, "I don't know preacher, it's not until next Wednesday in Dallas. ______________________________________________________   Stealing the duster is tricky! _____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________   An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Nicole Buffington, 24, Pasco Floriduh  Woman, 24, arrested for meth, child neglect after leaving kids and dope in hot car  Nicole Buffington was arrested Tuesday after allegedly leaving her two small children alone in a hot car that had a bag of methamphetamine on the front seat while she shopped at a Dollar Tree store. Investigators allege that Nicole Buffington, 24, left the minors in the vehicle for nearly 30 minutes. Police responding to a 911 call found the children--a seven-year-old boy and a one-year-old girl--Tuesday afternoon. Cops also discovered a bag containing a crystalline substance on top of clutter on the driver's seat. A field test revealed that the substance contained methamphetamine. Buffington, seen above, was subsequently contacted inside a nearby Dollar Tree store and arrested on child neglect and narcotics possession charges. She was booked into the Pasco County jail, where she remains locked up on $10,000 bond. According to her Facebook page, Buffington works at McDonald's. A police report, however, lists her as unemployed. Buffington's rap sheet includes multiple arrests for narcotics possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as collars for theft and failure to appear in court.  From: Isobel Re: CAT5 or CAT6  Dear Webby Is there any real performance difference between CAT5 and CAT6 cable in a home office? is there any difference in the way it is installed? Thanks Isobel  Dear Isobel CAT6 MAY show a slight performance gain on long runs of over 200 feet, especially in electrically noisy environments. I doubt that you will be able to measure a speed difference in a home office. CAT6 cable uses the same 8P8C (RJ45) connector as CAT5, but requires a lot more cussing to get it into the connector. If you do use CAT6 cable, do yourself a favor and buy it in suitable pieces, with the connectors factory molded onto the ends. CAT5 cable is fairly easy to stuff into 8P8C (RJ45) connectors and the crimper is cheap. In a quiet home office you can usually get away with using cheap "Station Z" alarm cable and get just as good results as CAT6. However, if your provider has problems with supplying a connection at the speed that you pay for, they will blame the problem on your cable. Switching at that time to CAT6 won't make any difference to your connection speed, but they will have to come up with a different excuse. Nowadays, quite often wireless (WiFi) is faster. For cable, the speeds are limited to what had been agreed upon years ago, but wireless gets faster all the time. Have FUN! DearWebby

 The shipwrecked mariner had spent several years on a deserted island. Then one morning he was thrilled to see a ship offshore and a smaller vessel pulling out toward him. When the boat grounded on the beach, the officer in charge handed the marooned sailor a bundle of newspapers and told him, "With the captain's compliments. He said to read through these and let us know if you still want to be rescued."

 When I stopped the bus to pick up Chris for preschool, I noticed an older woman hugging him as he left the house. "Is that your grandmother?" I asked. "Yes," Chris said. "She's come to visit us for Thanksgiving." "How nice," I said. "Where does she live?" "At the airport," Chris replied. "Whenever we want her we just go out there and get her." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Returning Groceries  Return items to the grocery store that are bad or spoil quickly, even if you used some of it. For example, if you buy a big block of cheese and gets moldy after a day or two in the fridge, it probably was not packaged properly. Just be sure to keep your grocery receipts handy.

 ___________________________________________________ After a church service on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother, "Mom, I've decided to become a minister when I grow up." "That's okay with us, but what made you decide that?" "Well," said the little boy, "I have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell, than to sit and listen." ___________________________________________________
