Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call." "Escalators would help on steep uphill sections." "Instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest Service needs to reduce worldwide population growth to limit the number of visitors to wilderness." "Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands." "Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals." "All the mile markers are missing this year." "Found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse." "Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill." "Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests." "Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow in the winter." "Chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them." "The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals." "Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights." "Need more signs to keep area pristine." "A McDonald's would be nice at the trail head." "The places where trails do not exist are not well marked." "Too many rocks in the mountains." ________________________________________________`   ____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Shanda Johnson-Williams, 48, Ft. Towson, Oklahoma  Oklahoma woman, 48, is pictured SMILING in mugshot after she is arrested for stabbing her husband to death  Jamie Williams, 48, was found stabbed to death dead inside his Ft. Towson home on Sunday His wife, Shanda Johnson-Williams, 48, was arrested two days later and charged with his murder A mugshot that shows Johnson-Williams smiling has now gone viral, An Oklahoma woman has been pictured grinning in a mugshot thought to be taken after she was arrested for the murder of her husband. Shanda Johnson-Williams, 48, was taken into custody in Ft. Towson on Tuesday after her spouse, Jamie Williams, also 48, was found stabbed to death inside their home two days earlier. Johnson-Williams is now facing a first-degree murder charge, which could result in the death penalty. She remains behind bars and a bond will be set at her arraignment. According to a statement released by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, a 911 call was made Sunday to say that Williams had been found unresponsive at his home. It has not been revealed whether it was Johnson-Williams who placed the call. By the time paramedics arrived at the premises, Williams was dead, with a medical examiner subsequently ruling that the cause of death was a single stab wound. After Johnson-Williams' mugshot was published online by authorities, hundreds of social media users couldn't help but remark on the apparent grin she was seen sporting in the snap. Meanwhile, a local law enforcement officer told Newsweek that the mugshot could be damaging for Johnson-Williams in the future. 'The smiling photo won't help her when showed at jury time,' Sheriff Terry Park stated. Johnson-Williams is currently being detained at Choctaw County Jail. 
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Ann S Re: No content in Yahoo mail  Dear Webby, Good response to the canned air huffers! A 14 year old boy down the street died from that stupid shit. The mother, of course, is boo-hoo-hooing about it, but she was the one who bought that stuff. With my Yahoo email: Everything is blank until I hit reply and then I can read the jokes. What is wrong? It came on my email as spam and I hit the no spam key and since then it comes to my email but nothing is on it. Ann S  Dear Ann From what I hear, that is just a Yahoo "feature". You DO get the content, but Yahoo trashes the formatting, until it looks like you are going to show others, how incompetent they are at Yahoo. Then they suddenly behave. There may be a setting in your Yahoo mail to get around that, but it seems to be secret. You just have to get used to that Yahoo "feature". Have FUN! DearWebby

 The Boston Fire Department borrowed a $650,000 fire truck from the manufacturer to try out if it fit under all their bridges. One good high speed run got it nicely wedged under an overpass, causing $75,000 damage to the truck. They hit the overpass so hard that 3 of them were injured. But not to worry. Boston has lots of trucks that are already flattened at the top.

 There's a little boy at school and asks the teacher if he can go to the washroom. "Okay" says the teacher. "But first you've got to say the alphabet." They boy says the alphabet: "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z." "What happened to the 'p'?" asked the teacher. "It's leaking out of my boots now." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com  Thriftyfun.com When Moving, Set Up Beds First When moving, the first piece of furniture you want to move into your new house are the beds. Place them in the designated bedrooms, put them together, and make them up. At the end of the day, all you want to think about is a shower, food, and a good night's rest. Other things can wait until the next day. This way you will not have to sleep on the floor or groan about having to make beds when you are so tired. This is very important if you are moving and have children. By Linda from Arlington, TX  Thriftyfun.com also has a newsletter.

Big Dogs With Small Beds  ___________________________________________________ After being away on business, Clarence McDougal thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift. "How about some perfume fer me lass at home?" he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a bottle costing $50.00. "That is a wee bit much," said Clarence. So the clerk returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00. "That's still a wee bit much," Clarence groused. Growing annoyed, the cosmetics clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 sample bottle. "What I mean," said Clarence, "is I would like to see something really cheap." So the clerk handed him a mirror. ___________________________________________________ I don't normally tell blonde jokes, but this one was sent to me by a beautiful blonde lady who obviously must know which jokes are OK, and which ones go too far. ------------ A plane is on its way on a non-stop flight from Los Angeles to New York when a blonde in coach gets up and moves to the first class section and sits down. The stewardess watches her do this and asks to see her ticket. She then tells the blonde that she paid for coach and that she will have to sit in the back. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to New York and I'm staying right here!" The stewardess goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and copilot that there is some blond bimbo sitting in first class that belongs in coach and won't move back to her seat. The copilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for coach, she will have to leave first class and return to her seat in coach. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to New York and I'm staying right here!" The copilot tells the pilot that he probably should have the police waiting when they land to arrest this blonde woman that won't listen to reason. The pilot says, "I'll handle this. I'm married to a blonde. I have learned to speak blonde!" He goes back to the blonde, whispers in her ear and she gets up and moves back to her seat in the coach section. The stewardess and copilot are amazed and asked him what he said to make her move without any fuss. "I told her first class wasn't going to New York. ___________________________________________________ Little Johnny went up to his father and asked, "Dad, where did all of my intelligence come from?"
