When the man began attacking her, she grabbed her gun and fatally shot him. She told officers the man began to attack her, but she was able to grab a gun and shoot him. Clearwater Police Chief Dan Slaughter said the woman made the 911 call in the middle of the attack, and the dispatcher could hear the struggle before the woman was able to grab her gun. "She was able to use that gun to defend herself, and fired one shot which resulted in the death of that intruder," Slaughter said. The chief told reporters that upon initial investigation, it appears to be a clear case of self-defense, and added that the gun was legally purchased by the victim. The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Justin William Wright, died at the scene. Slaughter said Wright lived next door to the victim. Investigators said the victim suffered injuries consistent with a struggle and the attack she described to officers. Police said it is not yet known how Wright got into the home. She fired just ONE shot, and will not be charged. ___________________________________________________ A Cowboy's Guide to Life... 1. Don't squat with your spurs on. 2.

I was taking a shower when my 2-year-old son came into the bathroom and wrapped himself in toilet paper. Although he made a mess, he looked adorable, so I ran for my camera and took a few shots. They came out so well that I had copies made and included one with each of our Christmas cards. Days later, a relative called about the picture, laughing hysterically and suggesting I take a closer look. Puzzled, I stared at the photo and was shocked to discover that in addition to my son, I had captured my reflection in the mirror, wearing nothing but a camera! ____________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ >From Dean We don't need more gun control.

"Very impressive," said Chuck, "but, you do realize he just speaks the words. He doesn't really understand what they all mean." "Oh, I know", replied Mrs. Biden, "but neither does the parrot." ___________________________________________________ DeaWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Sonya Re: How do I stop Full Size?  Dear Webby! Please be my hero again! Somehow I, or my puppy dog, flipped my browser to full monitor size, as if I was on a mac and limited to just one program at a time. How do I get back, so that I can grab the edge of a window and shrink it, and also have access to the top bar. I am going nuts trying to regain control. I am using W10, yes very unfortunately. Help! PLEEEEASE! Sonya  Dear Sonya Just hit F11 and keep your hands off the keyboard for 7 seconds. It will eventually exit Full Screen mode and give you back control. The delay is just checking if you are using a new enough computer. Just be patient for 7 or 8 seconds after hitting F11, and Full Screen mode will be gone. Have FUN!
