Alexandria Vera, 24, appeared in Houston court on Wednesday, and accepted a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child. The charge carries a potential sentence of life in prison, however Vera's possible punishment was capped at 30 years as part of her deal, KHOU reports. Her lawyer, Ricardo Rodriguez, told reporters he is also 'hoping for deferred adjudication', according to the Houston Chronicle. A deferred adjudication could mean Vera does not have a conviction recorded, providing she met requirements put in place by the court. Court documents state the boy's parents were allegedly aware of the relationship and accepting of it. Vera told investigators her victim's parents were, 'very supportive and excited' once they learned of the pregnancy in January. However, the former teacher had an abortion after being questioned by Child Protective Services, court papers claim. Vera, who has a four-year-old daughter, has been out on $100,000 bail since her arraignment in June this year, but was ordered to wear a GPS monitor, stay away from minors and prohibited from going online at home. She was also put on a court-mandated curfew between 8pm and 7am at the time. The 24-year-old will be sentenced in January. The now-14-year-old student has been placed in foster care until at least August next year. The case was uncovered after CPS received a tip-off about the relationship. ______________________________________________________ Tech Support Pits >From Bill Re: Eudora has slowed down Dear Webby, We have both been using Eudora for years and love the program. Recently, it has been freezing with a "not responding" message when I click on a URL or try to delete a message. I have made no changes to my system, Windows 7. Also, I can't bring up Task Manager while Eudora is acting snotty. After several minutes, things get back to normal and I can continue. Hoping that you can help with this problem, as you always have in the past, Bill Dear Bill Reduce the number of mails in your IN, OUT and TRASH mailboxes. By the way, it is not Eudora acting snotty. It is Windows assigning Eudora a low priority. It has to wait until it gets a turn at the processor after all the stuff Windows gives higher priorities to. You can't change that. All you can do is make the mail boxes smaller, so that when Eudora finally does get a turn, it can get it's work done faster. There is usually a lot of stuff you can safely delete. If a family member spends time on FaceBook, then they probably get all kinds of mails duplicating messages they already got online. Just do a FIND (Ctrl F) and search in the IN box for any mail that has "Facebook" anywhere in the mail. It will probably find a few thousand of them. You can either put them into a new mailbox ALT R, N or into the Trash. Either way, if nobody complains in a week, dump them. The same with LinkedIn. Nobody looks at old mails from Linkedin. Anything that you barely glance at when it comes in and never look at it again later, collect them with CTRL F and get rid of them. After you have trimmed the main mailboxes down, Eudora will again run at the speed, that you have been accustomed to. Have FUN! DearWebby A woman walked up to the manager of a Walmart store. "Are you hiring any help?" she asked. "No," he said. "We already have all the staff we need." "In that case, would you mind trying to find someone to help me in sporting goods?" she asked. | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Freeze Dumplings for Soup By kathleen williams [76 Posts, 1,658 Comments] Did you know you can freeze dumplings? I make homemade dumplings. I roll them out flat, put them in the baking pan I bake biscuits in, let them freeze, then put them in an empty plastic cereal bag. I roll the top down and close it with a clothes pin. When ready to use them, get the broth you will use boiling hot. Break the dumplings into pieces, about an inch square, and drop into broth. This saves lot of time. Good luck.

____________________________________________________ Country Living Advice Never name a pig you plan to eat. Country fences oughta' be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong. Life ain't about how fast you run, or how high you climb. It's about how good you bounce. Keep skunks and gossipers at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps. A bumble bee is faster than a John Deere tractor. Trouble with a milk cow is... she won't stay milked. Don't skinny dip with snapping turtles. Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled. Meanness don't happen overnight. To know how country folks are doing, look at their barns, not their houses. Never lay an angry hand on a kid or an animal. It just ain't helpful. Teachers, Moms, and hoot owls sleep with one eye open. Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads. Don't sell your mule to buy a plow. Two can live as cheap as one...if one don't eat. Don't corner something meaner than you. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar... if you're in to catchin' flies. It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge. Don't go drinkin' with a fellow named Chug-A-Lug. You can't unsay a cruel remark. Every path has some puddles. Don't wrestle with pigs. You'll get all muddy, and the pigs'll love it. The best sermons are lived, not preached. Most of the stuff people worry about never happens. The early bird gets the worm. But... the second mouse gets the cheese!. The Ten Commandments display was removed from the Alabama Supreme Court building. There was a durn good reason for the move. You can't post: Thou Shalt Not Steal,Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, Thou Shall Not Lie, in a building full of Lawyers and Politicians. It just don't make sense. ____________________________________________________ A woman was found guilty in traffic court and when asked for her occupation she said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited many years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court." He smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not run a STOP sign' five hundred times." ____________________________________________________ | | A budding 16 year old photographer who I feel is going to make name for himself. |
A small town Doctor was famous in the area for always catching large and heavy fish. One day while he was on one of his frequent fishing trips he got a call that a woman at a neighboring farm was giving birth. He rushed to her aid and delivered a healthy baby boy. The farmer had nothing to weigh the baby with, so the Doctor used his fishing scales. The baby weighed 22 lbs 10 oz. Ophelia Dingbatter's News
