The husband had taken to borrowing this or that from their neighbor and it seemed to the wife that it always took him way too long to return. One time the wife had had enough and actually pounded on the wall between the two apartments. There being no response she telephoned, only to get the answering machine. Finally she went to the model's door and just kept ringing the bell. When the model answered, the wife fumed, "I would like to know why it is my husband takes so long to get something over here." "Well sweetie," the model purred, "all these interruptions sure wouldn't be helping, if he was doing what you suspect him of doing. However, he's out on the balcony exchanging fishing lies with my dad." _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ A little girl and a little boy were at day care one day. The girl approaches the boy and says, "Hey Tommy, wanna play house?" He says, "Sure! What do you want me to do?" The girl replies, "I want you to communicate your feelings." "Communicate my feelings?" said a bewildered Tommy. "I have no idea what that means." The little girl smirks and says, "Perfect. You can be the husband." ______________________________________________________   _____________________________________________________

 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD and a Darwin Award has been earned by  De'Carlo Jackson, 24, Cleveland, Ohio  Cleveland armed robber shot, killed by Taco Bell employees  Three employees at a Cleveland Taco Bell shot and killed a suspect during an attempted robbery, according to police. Officers responded to the restaurant on W. 117th street at 2:45 a.m. Wednesday morning for a report of a robbery with shots fired. When police arrived, they found a suspect with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers administered first aid until EMS arrived. The suspect later died at MetroHealth Medical Center. The medical examiner later identified the suspect as 24-year-old Cleveland resident De'Carlo Jackson. Another man, believed to be Jackson's accomplice, had already taken off by the time officers arrived. Police say a preliminary investigation indicates that three Taco Bell employees, all armed, shot at the two suspects after they came into the restaurant wearing masks and ordered the employees to the ground at gunpoint. Since 2012, Jackson had been convicted three times for "attempted" drug trafficking (Selling to a narc).  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Robert Re: gmail to POP Dear Webby, I use gmail mainly to reserve my address for when I move and lose my current address. In the meantime, I want to be able to download the mail from gmail to my regular POP email program (Eudora). Can that be done? Robert  Dear Robert I have had a lot of similar questions lately. Yes, sure it can be done. Just go into your gmail settings and set it to ALLOW POP and to forward to your regular POP email address. That's all there is to it, IF you have an ISP or domain based POP address. Takes about 5 seconds to do. For those who don't have an ISP or domain based POP address, go into the gmail settings, set it to ALLOW POP. Then go into Eudora or Thunderbird or whatever you use, and make a new email account. For the incoming POP server name use pop.gmail.com. For the outgoing SMTP server name use smtp.gmail.com For the user name and password use your gmail log in. After that, your email program will check your gmail as if it was a standard POP email account. Have FUN! DearWebby    
 >From Ed I was on vacation, playing the slot machines. It was my first time in a casino, and I wasn't sure how the machines operated. "Excuse me." I said to a casino employee. "How does this work?" The worker showed me how to insert a bill, hit the spin button, and operate the release handle. "And where does the money come out?" I asked. He smiled and motioned to a far wall before saying, "Usually at the ATM machine over there."

 Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Succulent Plants Make Wonderful Gifts  By 15mhhm15 [242 Posts, 702 Comments] Did you know it is very easy to propagate succulents? If you have succulents in your yard, or at your family or friend's home, pull off some leaves, or a leaf with your finger or cut carefully and get the entire leaf than allow the leaves to dry for a few days! When the end (where you pulled the leaf/leaves) has hardened then it is ready to fill a small container with some soil and lay your leaf/leaves on top. Water slowly until you see roots from the leaves sprout. Once the leaves sprout (probably a few weeks) you could separate each leaf into its own container. Below are succulent cuttings from family and all I did was reuse an old dish and put soil to arrange all the succulents together. It looks beautiful and perfect to give as a gift or as a center piece in your home! Little maintenance (water wise) is required for these and it looks beautiful!  Don't over-water them! Like cacti, they thrive on dedicated neglect. It is not extra water, that makes them grow, but deeper dirt and especially wind. Even if you can't see them move in the wind, it is the invisible, tiny movements when the wind massages them, that pump up nutrients for them. By the way, some succulents produce gorgeous flowers. Have FUN! DerWebby  ____________________________________________________  
  
 
Can you guess which is the alpha dog? 
 ____________________________________________________  A young woman wasn't feeling well, and asked one her co-workers to recommend a physician. "I know a great one in the city, but he is very expensive. Five hundred dollars for the first visit, and one hundred dollars for each one after that." The woman went to the doctor's office and, trying to save a little money, cheerily announced. "I'm back!" Not fooled for a second, the doctor took her $100, quickly examined her and said, "Very good, just continue the treatment I prescribed on your last visit." ___________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Dianne for this confession: The computer in my high school classroom recently started acting up. After watching me struggle with it, one of my students took over. "Your hard drive crashed," he said. I called the computer services office and explained, "My computer is down. The hard drive crashed." "We can't just send people down on your say-so. How do you know that's the problem?" "A student told me," I answered. "We'll send someone over right away."
