After they were done, his sister-in-law allowed Timmy to put the icing on. When he had finished, he brought them to the table. "The cupcakes look delicious, Tim." his uncle said. He took a bite while looking at the other cupcakes. "Timmy these are so good." As he finished one and took another he again complimented his little nephew. "The cupcakes look beautiful, Tim," his uncle said. "How did you get them iced so evenly?" And he took a large bite while waiting for the answer. His nephew replied, "I licked them." ____________________________________________________ The FDA just approved a new drug for obesity; they say it causes modest weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.

 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Erin Re: Is "mail Quota" email a scam?  Dear Webby I got an email with Subject Subject: Re: WARNING LOW SPACE, INCOMING MAIL BLOCKED Urging me to click on a button to Upgrade Mail Quota Here! What made me suspicious was that they had forged MY adress in as the sender. What should I do? Erin  Dear Erin DON'T click on anything. Trash it immediately. It is scam-spam. Whenever they forge YOUR address as the purported sender, trash it unread. If you are in the habit of sending yourself emails, instead of using Post-It notes or writing on your arm, start using a goofy symbol at the start of the subject line in mails to yourself, for example Subject: ~ Aunt Emma's Birthday tomorrow That way you instantly KNOW. If some sleazy crook forges your address as the sender, he or she does not have your secret code ~ at the start of the subject line. You can of course use any symbol, that you will recognize. If you look at the Humor Letter, with my address unchanged since 1994, when you were still jail bait, MY secret symbol has always been "Humor: " The scammers have STILL not caught on to that! Just make a filter: If the mail is from: your address and SUBJECT DOES NOT CONTAIN ~ (or whatever your secret code is) Then trash it. That's all you need, and you will NEVER see scam-spam like that anymore. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 There's a new health study that was just completed that claims having sex decreases your chances of getting a cold. The more sex you have, the less chance you'll have of catching a cold. Can you just picture how it's gonna be in office's across the country this winter, everytime a woman sneezes there'll be some guy saying, "Hey, I got something for that."

 I was showing one of the waitresses in our local gin mill. how to fold a napkin to look like a swan When the girl, a rather gorgeous young thing, batted her eyes and commented, "You have the most delicate, slender hands," "Forgive me for saying it, but they belong on a woman." Not only did I forgive her, later on I obliged her. ____________________________________________ >From Bonnie ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE I LEARNED FROM SHOPPING... 1. Get it now.

By the time you need it, you'll lose ten pounds. 7. Never believe anyone who says, "It's really you". 8. If they're working on commission, they're lying. 9. Know when to yell, "Charge!" 10. So many malls, so little time. 11. If you put it on your credit card, it's not really spending money. 12. Always try to spend someone else's money first. 13.
