Good Morning, Do, Today is Friday, September 22 Time to wear a bit of red to show your support for the troops!  Summer is over. Happy Fall (season)! We had cold rain today, and snow on the West side of the valley. No Gullible Warming here, I guess not enough people here believe in it. Hopefully the hurricanes in the South will settle down soon! I am glad all subscribers are OK, and hope all good people are safe. Walked to my doctor today for the annual prescription update and diet consultation. He asked what kind of oil I use. 5-40, all season. He didn`t like that. For frying! I use butter. For salad! Apple cider vinegar and a drop of coconut oil. He had a fit about that. Apparently coconut oil is only good for yuppies in Mexifornia, but for everybody else, it has gone out of fashion and is bad. Olive oil is in fashion again. Ok, Ok. I still got some in the back of the cupboard from when it was in fashion last time. And so it went through everything I eat. Actually, because I am trying to beat Diabetes with diet, I dont really eat that much anyway. Eventually we got to the gout in my right hand little finger. I told him that the prescribed pills didn`t do any good, but that many subscribers recommended Alpurinol, and that Sven recommended Super strength cherry concentrate capsules. The health food stores in the nearest town charge $19 - $39 for 90 capsules (one month). So I googled. https://www.canadianvitaminshop.com/ has them for $11.98. Click, click, done. Next day the capsules were here. 3 days later the white spots looking like blisters, but are actually uric acid crystal deposits, started disappearing and the swelling is going down. Thank you Sven! Have Fun!

Since their schedules intertwined, they decided to go in together to buy a car. After the purchase, they drove it home and parked it on the street between them. A few minutes later, the rabbi looked out and saw the priest sprinkling water on their new car. It didn't need a wash, so he hurried out and asked the priest what he was doing. "I'm blessing it," the priest replied. The rabbi considered this a moment, then went back inside the synagogue. He reappeared a moment later with a hacksaw, walked over to the back of the car and cut off two inches of the exhaust pipe. _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ "After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes.

Any other graphics program will work the same. When you look at the page, from where you want to save a picture, that can not be saved the easy way, hit the Print Screen key. That puts a copy of what is on the screen into the clipboard. Now open your favorite paint or graphics program, open a new file and click in it to make sure it is active, then hit CTRL V or SHIFT INSERT. That pastes the entire screen view into that picture. Now use the cropping tool and cut away all the stuff around the picture, so that all that remains is the picture that you want to copy. Have FUN! DearWebby    
 From Marina: Last summer, my husband, Steve, took me camping for the first time. At every opportunity, he passed along outdoor- survival lore. One day we got lost hiking in the deep woods. Steve tried the usual tactics to determine direction - moss on the trees (there was no moss), direction of the sun (it was an overcast day). Just as I was beginning to panic, he spotted a small cabin off in the distance. Steve pulled out his binoculars, studied the cabin, turned and led us right back to our camp. "That was terrific," I said. "How did you do it?" "Simple," he replied. "In this part of the country all TV satellite dishes point south."

Could have been a love story 
 ____________________________________________________  Two Irishmen were adrift in a life boat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a genie came forth. This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into beer!" The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the men considered their circumstances. One man looked disgustedly at the other whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going, idiot! All that beer, and only such a small boat for a urinal !" __________________________________________________
