The representative listened patiently as I requested a wheelchair and an attendant for my mother because of her arthritis and impaired vision. My apprehension lightened a bit when the woman assured me that everything would be taken care of. I thanked her profusely. "Oh, you're welcome," she replied. I was about to hang up when she cheerfully asked, "And will your mother need a rental car?" ______________________________________________________   _____________________________________________________

 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Monalisa Perez, 19, Halstad, Minnesota  YouTuber Charged After Boyfriend Dies In Apparent Viral Video Stunt  A pregnant YouTuber from Minnesota has been charged with second- degree manslaughter after a video stunt went tragically wrong, authorities say. Norman County Sheriff's Office allege in a criminal complaint that Monalisa Perez, 19, fatally shot her 22-year-old boyfriend Pedro Ruiz III in an accident outside their Halstad home around 6.30 p.m. Monday. The couple were reportedly trying to make a viral clip in which Perez fired a Desert Eagle .50 caliber pistol from around a foot away at a thick, hardback encyclopedia that Ruiz held to his chest. Perez reported that Ruiz believed that the book would stop the bullet, according to the criminal complaint. Ruiz had tested the trick on other books, but the projectile's force proved too powerful for the thick book and it pierced straight through the weighty tome, NBC reports. Ruiz died at the scene from a single gunshot wound as the couple's 3-year-old daughter reportedly looked on. Perez, who is 7-months pregnant with the couple's second child, regularly posted videos of the pair performing stunts and pulling pranks on each other to her YouTube channel La MonaLisa. Norman County Sheriff's Office says in its criminal complaint that it has seized two cameras containing footage that Perez told them had recorded the incident. Law enforcement officials initially arrested Perez on suspicion of reckless discharge of a gun. On Wednesday, she appeared at Norman County District Court via video link from jail in Crookston. Her charge was upgraded to second-degree manslaughter. If convicted, she faces up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. Perez posted $7,000 cash bail on condition she does not possess a firearm. Her next court appearance is scheduled for July 5.  ______________________________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Bali Re: How to paste a URL Dear Webby, Dear Webby, How do you paste URL's in your browser?

Whenever I go home after we've been out drinking, I turn the headlights off before I get to the driveway. I shut off the engine and coast into the garage. Take my shoes off before I go into the house, I sneak up the stairs, get undressed in the bathroom, stick my foot in the toilet and pee down my leg to prevent splashing sounds. I ease into bed and my wife STILL wakes up and yells at me for staying out so late." His friend looks at him and says, "Well, you're obviously taking the wrong approach. I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the steps, pee hard into the toilet water, then use the full flush, throw my shoes in the closet, undress in the bedroom, then jump into bed, slap her on the butt and say 'WHO'S READY FOR FUN?!' She always acts like she's sound asleep. Works every time!"

 Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Killing Grass in Rock Ground Cover  By Cyinda [213 Posts, 1,286 Comments] If you have the liquidation store "Big Lots" in your area, each spring & summer (& sometimes the rest of the year) they sell their own brand of Landscaping Cloth. It's only $3.99 for a 4 foot x 20 yard roll (It's cost twice that much at Home Depot). If you can remove the rocks, & put Landscaping Cloth down with your rocks on top of it, your effort will be rewarded! If not, then you can use Plain Boiling Water & if THAT doesn't work, then use household vinegar & if THAT doesn't work, then use the stronger Vinegar you can buy where they sell Plant nursery supplies. REMEMBER, start with the least toxic, then work your way up to the strongest. Whatever you pour on the ground, ends up in our ground water!  ____________________________________________________

Once in a while they begin with 'I'll be working late at the office tonight.'" "Does Daddy tell you fairy tales like that?" "He used to." "What made him stop?" "One day he told me he'd be working late, and I said, 'Can I depend on that?'" ___________________________________________________

 ____________________________________________________ Thanks to Dave for this story: This was a story told to us by our chemistry master at school. A student wished to make some potassium hydroxide solution and decided to throw a large lump of potassium into a bucket of water. Out of the corner of his eye, the professor observed what the student was about to do and hurried over. After confirming this was what was intended, he asked the student to first to stir the water in the bucket for five minutes before adding the potassium. Puzzled, the student followed after him to ask the purpose of this action. "It will give me time to run away," said the professor.
