Good Morning, Do, Today is Saturday, February 10 Had a good laugh when I read that the `Dreamers`are threatening to leave, if there is no amnesty. No kidding? Are they all going to pile into the same car as all the empty shirts, who promised, that they would leave, if Trump gets elected? I notice that no country has allowed them in so far. Have FUN!

Mrs. O'Malley arrived in Boston from Ireland, and in no time at all her bean soup made her the talk of New England society. At a party celebrating the sale of her recipe to a fancy Charles Street restaurant, an old matron approached Mrs. O'Malley and said, "My dear girl, what is the secret of your soup?" Mrs. O'Malley said, "The secret o' me soup is that I use but two-hundred thirty-nine beans to make it." The woman said, "Why only two-hundred thirty-nine?" Mrs. O'Malley said, "Because one more would make it too farty." ______________________________________________________ The new Librarian decided that instead of checking out children's books by writing the names of borrowers on the book cards herself, she would have the youngsters sign their own names. She would then tell them they were signing a "Contract" for returning the books on time. Her first customer was a second grader, who looked surprised to see a new Librarian. He brought four books to the desk and shoved them across to the Librarian, giving her his name as he did so. The Librarian pushed the books back and told him to sign them out. The boy laboriously printed his name on each book card and then handed them to her with a look of utter disgust. Before the Librarian could even start her speech he said, scornfully, "That other Librarian we had could read and write." _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________   _____________________________________________________

 _____________________________________________________ The shipwrecked mariner had spent several years on a deserted island. Then one morning he was thrilled to see a ship off- shore and a smaller vessel pulling out toward him. When the boat grounded on the beach, the officer in charge handed the marooned sailor a bundle of newspapers and told him, "The captain said to read through these and let us know if you still want to be rescued." _____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Keri Harwood, 28, New River, Arizona  Arizona woman arrested for creating and selling child pornography  A New River woman is accused of performing and recording sexual acts with two young children and selling them to a man over the Internet. Keri Harwood, 28, is charged with two counts of sexual conduct with a minor, five counts of sexual exploitation of a child for recording the videos, and five counts of sexual exploitation of a child for selling the videos, according to Maricopa County Superior Court records. Authorities say a neighbor who plays Pokemon Go with Harwood found the sexually explicit videos in Harwood's Gmail after noticing several PayPal transactions and reported her to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. The neighbor was able to access Harwood's email account because she gave him her Pokemon Go login information and asked him to catch Pokemon for her, court records said. "Horrible acts of child abuse like this can be stopped with the help of alert members of our community," said Sheriff Paul Penzone in a press release. "If you see something unusual, contact authorities so that we can end this exploitation," he said. Deputies said Harwood was sending videos of her bathing and touching the children, ages 6 and 3 years old, to a man they believe lives in Texas. When confronted by authorities, records show, she claimed that she needed the money and didn't want to disappoint the man, with whom she had been sexting for some time. Court documents said Harwood told police she molested the children on five separate occasions. The Sheriff's Office said they are pursuing a warrant to arrest the man who purchased the videos from Harwood.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Cheryl Re: Pictures on camera chip lost  Dear Webby, We just came back home to Australia from a wonderful trip to the USA and my 13 yr old daughter took her new Canon Powershot with a 2.0 GB SD Memory Card to use over there. We had an idyllic stopover in Fiji for 3 days and then had a great time travelling from LA to the Grand Canyon via a lovely little town called Williams on Route 66, Laura happily snapping photos. Spent a day at the canyon then on to Vegas via Hoover Dam. The glitz of Vegas was also great fun to photograph then off to Fresno. It was here that she accidently deleted all the photos she had taken to this point - 700 of them! We are devestated as I don't have a digital camera and so we were both using hers. She still doesn't know how she did it. She said she was trying to move them into a file and then they were gone. Kids these days work things out better than adults, often through experimentation - pity she chose that experiment. Back home, we have removed the disk, plugged it into the computer, and tried to find the lost pics but it looks like they are gone for good. However I heard that there may still be a way of recovering the lost pics. Is that possible? By the way we are VERY impressed with the features and quality of the camera except that it seems too easy to delete photos!! Cheryl  Dear Cheryl Too bad you did not go to a hotel with WiFi or McDonalds or Burger king in Fresno and write me then! Just go to http://www.sharewareconnection.com/memory-card-data-restore.htm and use that free software to recover the deleted files. Actually, it's not really that easy to delete the files, but there HAS to be the option to do that. Normally, though, you first upload the pictures to your site or your laptop. Personally I don't like uploading from the camera. I use a $12 chip reader that I can plug into any USB port and make the chip act like an additional hard drive on a computer (laptop, hotel lobby machine, cyber-cafe, etc). Dragging them from there to a web site is easy. Once they are on the web, they are safe. You could also use SearchEverything, search for pictures, and *.jpg That way, if she moved them into a subdirectory or into the MISC directory. I have seen people do that and damn near jump off a cliff. And there were all their pictures safe and sound in the MISC directory on the chip. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Thanks to Allan for this story: It was last Wednesday night, and I was sitting in my room watching television when the phone rang. "Hello?" I said. A girl's voice came over the line. "Can I speak to Ben, please?" I live by myself, and my name definitely is not Ben. It was probably a wrong number and I was bored. I replied, "I'm sorry, he's not in right now. Can I take a message?" "Do you know what time he'll be back?" she responded. "I think he said he'd be home around 10:00." Silence on the other end... a confused silence. "Is this Steve?" My name isn't Steve, either. This was definitely a wrong number. So I replied, "Yes, it is. Do you want to leave a message for Ben?" "Well... he said he would be home tonight and asked me to call him," she said in a slightly irritated voice. I replied, "Well, he went out with Karen about an hour ago, and said that he would be back at 10:00." A shocked voice now: "Who's Karen?!" "The girl he went out with." "I know that! I mean... who is she?" "I don't know her last name. Look, do you want me to leave a message for Ben?" "Yes... please do. Tell him to call me when he gets home." She was sounding pretty irate at this point, and I could hear her temper flaring. "I sure will. Is this Jennifer?" She exploded, "Who's Jennifer?" Apparently she wasn't. "Well... he's going out with Jennifer at 10:00. I thought you were her. Sorry... it was an honest mistake." "Ben's the one that's made the mistake! Tell him that Alice called him and the she's very upset and that I would like him to call me as soon as he gets home." I smiled and said, "Okay, I will... but Becky isn't going to like this..." *Click!* ____________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Storing a Large Area Rug Save old belts to use when storing or moving large area rugs. Roll up the rug and wrap a couple belts around it, using the belt buckles to secure the belt in place. The belts are great for preventing the rug from unrolling and also work as handles for moving the rug.
