The wedding was lovely. After the wedding at the wedding dinner, the bride broom leaned over and said to the groom broom "I think I am going to have a little whisk broom!!!" "IMPOSSIBLE!!" said the groom broom.

Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen: Dearest Wife, Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow. PS. Sure is hot down here. ___________________________________________________  An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Laura Villalon, 35, Waco, Texas, USA 
 Toddler born in prison later murdered by mother who then dumped his body in trash can 
 A toddler born in prison was murdered while being cared for by his mom, who then dumped his body in the bottom of a trash can, police say. Frankie Gonzalezs cause of death was officially ruled a homicide caused by blunt force injuries on Monday, almost two months after he was found dead on June 2. Police think two year-old Frankie died while in his mother Laura Villalons care on May 28, and that she disposed of his corpse in Waco, Texas, on May 30. Villalon, 35, is currently in jail on a first-degree felony injury to a child charge, although she is almost certain to face upgraded charges once prosecutors evaluate Frankies autopsy report. She initially claimed that her son had gone missing while on an outing to Wacos Cameron Park. The two year olds corpse was found at the bottom of a trash can near his home, after Villalon led investigators to him. The burglar who gave birth to Frankie while in jail over a parole violation had been banned from caring for her seven children because of prior drug abuse and neglect. Frankies dad Lorenzo Gonzalez has been charged with child endangerment Despite that edict, Frankies dad Lorenzo Gonzalez left Villalon with Frankie and his two other children to go to work on May 28. He said he had done so because Villalon appeared to have curbed her abusive urges, the Waco Tribune reported. Gonzalez has been charged with felony child endangerment, and is being held on an immigration hold ahead of his next court hearing. He had signed an agreement with social services promising not to let Villanon care for his son or other children unsupervised. Gonzalezs lawyer Phil Martinez says the dad has been torn up over the murder of his son. Martinez said: He is very upset that his son died. Initially, before he was arrested, he was cooperating with law enforcement about what he knew and what he could tell them about what might have happened. Every time I have talked to him about it, he is broken up regarding all of this. He doesnt know what could have overcome the mother to do something like that. He is also looking for answers.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Bill RE: Move program to other monitor   Dear Webby: I now use two monitors. I can usually place a program in either monitor by placing the cursor at the top and dragging it to the desired screen. This works with all programs, except “Hallmark Card Studio”. This is an old greeting card maker that I purchased many years ago on a DVD. It opens very compressed and unusable in my vertical, “portrait” screen, monitor. I am unable to drag it over to my “landscape” screen. I am unable to find a solution on searching the internet and was wondering if you could offer any advice. Thanks. All the best, Bill  Dear Bill That is an easy one: WINKEY SHIFT Left Arrow Or WINKEY SHIFT Right arrow, if you want to move it to the right side monitor. If that does not do it, then the program is probably too old and not able to recognize the second monitor. If it does not work, write to Hallmark. Have FUN! DearWebby
