Bill was in the running to win an award that evening and wanted to make sure he looked his best when he claimed his prize. He felt his luck was with him and was sure to win. He stood in front of the mirror to fix his tie but the mirror was crooked, so he reached over to straighten it out and it came crashing down on the floor. "Oh no," said Bill. "Now I am going to have seven years bad luck." "Nonsense," said Doug. My uncle once broke a mirror and he didn't have seven years bad luck." "Really?" said Bill, feeling much better knowing that. "Yeah really," said Doug. "He died that day." _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________   _____________________________________________________

 _____________________________________________________ An elderly woman went into the doctor's office. When the doctor asked why she was there, she replied, "I'd like to have some birth-control pills." Taken back, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but you're 72 years old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?" The woman responded, "They help me sleep better." The doctor thought some more and continued, "How in the world do birth control pills help you to sleep?" The woman said, "Simple, I put them in my granddaughter's orange juice every morning and I sleep better at night." _____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Candace Jim, 40, Bloomfield, New Mexico  Mother drives into oncoming traffic, killing 6-year-old son in 4th DUI  A 6-year-old is dead and two other children are injured after police said their mother was driving drunk and rolled the family car.

They totally fail at that. How do I sort them? Jeanie  Dear Jeanie Yes, you are right. The yuppies totally fail to understand bookmarks. Try CTRL SHIFT O That gets you into unsorted bookmarks, they are there, but without dates! DUH! To sort them alphabetically, hit the 3 yuppie heads at the right top of the Bookmarks page. In there you can choose to sort alphabetically, which is usually totally useless. It shows the page titles, which are a nuisance at best, and totally useless most of the time. They are rarely descriptive and usually more akin to advertising. Usually it is faster to just google for whatever you need. You might not get the page you bookmarked, but one that has similar content. Have FUN! DearWebby

 I come from a large family, five sisters and three brothers. My sisters and I were looking through the family photo album one day. Picture after picture, we were all dressed in matching clothes. I asked my mother why she dressed us all alike, right down to the baby. She explained, "When we had just four children, I dressed you alike so we wouldn't lose any of you. Then," she added, looking at the pictures in the album, "When the other four came along, I started dressing you alike so we won't pick up any that don't belong to us." ____________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Shopping For Parts  When you go shopping for parts to repair your car, sewing machine, or any other device, write down the make and model number of what you are repairing so you can be sure to get the right part.

Without looking up from his newspaper he replied, "About 10 years."
