What is the cheapest way to do that? Alana Dear Alana If you have FaceBook, you can open the page of your recipient, click on MESSAGE, and drag the video from wherever you got it. You can even use a chip reader and use pictures on old camera chips. The drawback of that method is the fact that Facebook is run by the Democrat party and has a herd of fanatic Piglosis censoring you. Jokes about Bidet, Piglosi or Fauxpas will get you thrown into "FaceBook Jail" and blocked for a while. You can joke about Trump all you want, just be extremely careful if a joke mentions people from the Democrat party. It's not a big deal, most jail sentences are from a week to a few months. So, if you plan to send a nice video for somebody's anniversary, be extremely careful with your messages a few weeks before that, even if they are to somebody else. The next option is of course Skype. Microsoft does NOT censor you, ever. You can even joke about Emperor Bill the Great. They don't hassle you. Picture quality is poor and size is limited the same as with Facebook. Then there is Zoom. Excellent video and sound, and you can go full screen. You can even share screens! The drawback with Zoom is that it is a couple of generations more advanced than Facebook and Skype, and will probably require you to read the instructions. They are no big deal, but the availability of options and toys may initially be a bit overwhelming. Not for you, of course, but for your son and his wife. Content is not censored on Zoom. You can joke about anybody and show pitures of anybody you want. As far as I know, they have never censored anybody. Have FUN!

Whisper something near a woman, it goes in in both her ears and comes out of the mouth of every woman in town.

She immediately said "yes". The next morning when he awoke, he couldn't remember what her answer was! "Was she happy? I think so, wait, no, she looked at me funny..." After about an hour of trying to remember to no avail, he got on the telephone and gave her a call. Embarrassed, he admitted that he didn't remember her answer to the marriage proposal. "Oh", she said, "I'm so glad you called. I remembered saying 'yes' to someone, but I couldn't remember to whom." ______________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
