Good Morning, Do! Today is Saturday, September 22 So far September has been cold and snowy. The "Gullible Warming" cycle is definitely being replaced by the "Ice Age Is Coming" cycle. Last time we were in that cycle in the early 70s, they blamed it on our muscle cars. What are they going to blame it on this time, so that they can put the blame on you? It won't work on me. I know about the cycles, and I read the Farmers Almanac. Invest in Snow Blowers! 30 years from now we will have Gullible Warming again, but until then we are in a cool cycle. Oh, right, it's all Trump's fault! That guy is too cool! Have FUN!

How much does it cost?" "Only one kiss per yard," replied the smirking male clerk. "That's fine," replied the girl. "I'll take ten yards." With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk hurriedly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly. The girl snapped up the package and pointed to a little old lady standing nearby. "Grandma will pay the bill," she smiled. _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ In a physics lab course, which involved light, electricity and magnetism, one requirement of the course was to read the week's experiment before coming to class. At one lab session the instructor wanted to see how many people had actually done so: "What are the two types of light?" he asked. The lab fell silent until one wise young man raised his hand and said, "Uhhh, Miller and Bud?" ______________________________________________________   _____________________________________________________

 From Crystal Re: Underlined shortcut letters  Dear Webby: I have used the underlined letters in menus as short-cut keys for ages. Now my dear but rather klutzy hubby did a whole lot of changes and somehow disabled them. He does not remember which of the dozens of changes he made could have caused that. Help! Crystal  Dear Crystal Right-click the Desktop, choose Properties, and click the Appearance tab. Click the Effects button and remove the check mark from the line: Hide Underlined Letters for Keyboard Navigation Until I Press The Alt Key. Hit OK a bunch of times to step out of that and the underlines all appear, ready to be used for shortcuts. Have FUN DearWebby

 That bonehead reminded me of a letter Linda had sent me some time ago: >From Linda A relative called and asked me if I could loan her $400 to help her pay her rent. I told her...give me a minute let me check my account and I'll call you right back." Before I could check my funds, my aunt called and said, "Don't give her any money because she's lying". My aunt proceeded to tell me that she wants to use that $400 to get her boyfriend out of jail because she wants to be under the same roof with him for the holidays!!! So I thought about it for a minute, and decided to go ahead and give her the $400. I called and said, "Come on, I got you." A couple hours later, I got a call from the County Jail, and it was her... "Why did you give me counterfeit money?!" I replied with the best answer I could: "So you and your boyfriend would be under the same roof for the holidays. You're welcome."

 Overheard at a Computer Store: "I want a game capable of holding the interest of my six-year- old, but it's got to be simple enough for his father to play, too." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Checkout Surprise  Shop at Bakery Outlets If possible, buy your bread, hamburger and hot dog buns, etc. at a bakery outlet store. In my area, I can get a loaf of bread for .55, as opposed to over $1.00 or more at the grocery store. Go twice a month, and freeze the loaves. You'll save a bundle, and it's definitely worth the trip! By Marlene Ask your Bakery Outlet what days are their sale days. They quite often have much cheaper prices on these days. Also, if you have chickens you can get feed bread for next to nothing. Susan  I vaguely remember bakery outlet stores. Good old days! Nowadays, where each supermarket gets their breads frozen, by the truckload, and thaws it out as needed, and refreezes leftovers, those bargains are history. No more sale days on bread, unless you get on REALLY good terms with staff there. There are no more bakers around. The bakers are maybe a thousand miles away. The stores just have staff thawing and heating frozen bread according to the schedule taped to the freezer by the manager. If you want actually fresh bread, go to Tim Hortons or Subway. Have FUN!

What Ali wore. I love this story, a man "dressed to the nines" everyday. 
 ___________________________________________________ A couple went shopping at the mall. They decided to go their separate ways and meet two hours later. The husband was at their appointed meeting place at the appointed time, but there was no sign of his wife. After waiting for half an hour, he started looking for her but couldn't find her in any of the stores she usually frequented. Finally, thoroughly tired of looking for her, he approached a beautiful lady on a mall bench. He smiled at her and said, "Please, talk to me! Quick!" She said, "Why?" "Because I've been looking for my wife all over this silly mall and I can't find her," the man replied. "How will talking to me help you find your wife? I have absolutely no idea what she looks like, much less where she is." "I didn't think you did. However, every time I start talking to a beautiful woman, my wife instantly appears!" ___________________________________________________
