 ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  William Billingham, 55 Birmingham England  Britain who stabbed daughter in rage over ex's new girlfriend is found guilty  William Billingham, 55, used a kitchen knife to kill Mylee Billingham after dragging her by the coat into his bungalow moments after holding the blade to the neck of her mother, Tracey Taundry. A trial at Birmingham Crown Court heard how Miss Taundry dialled 999 from outside Billingham's house in Brownhills, near Walsall, telling operators to hurry as Mylee was screaming 'stop it daddy'. Jurors deliberated for around 80 minutes before unanimously convicting Billingham of murder and a separate charge of making a threat to kill 34-year-old Miss Taundry. He will be sentenced tomorrow. The unemployed factory worker opted not to give evidence, claiming he had no memory of stabbing Mylee through the chest, and was guilty of the lesser offence of manslaughter due to depression. But prosecutors argued that Billingham 'turned his anger' on Mylee to spite Miss Taundry after she began a same-sex relationship. 
 From Ethian Re: What is so bad about RoboForm?  Dear Webby, You used to recommend RoboForm since the 90s, but seem to be utterly disenchanted now. What happened? Ethian  Dear Ethian Any company with people, who have a brain the size of one Smartie, have a method to recover a lost password. RoboForm, while implying that they keep your passwords safe for you, so that you did not have to write them on the wall, instituted a new system with a Master Password, that they don't remember, and that you can not recover. If the post-it-note with your MasterPassword accidentally gets lost, ALL of your passwords are trashed. Gone. Not recoverable. They started getting flakey even before they did that, but their evil Master Password lunacy totally ruined their once good reputation. If you have to write the Master Password onto the wall, for everybody to see, what is the point of using passwords? And paying the idiots for their totally useless program? If you don't want to use the password managing provided by your browser, look for one that does not have a not recoverable master password. Right now I just use the password managing included in Chrome. Have FUN! DearWebby

 On the first day of school, the kindergarten teacher said, "If anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers." A little voice from the back of the room asked, "How will that help?"

 >From Jack One October my wife and I spent a vacation on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. We were eager to visit the rain forests near the coast, but we heard that snow slides had made some of the roads impassable. Although apprehensive about the conditions we might run into, we drove on. Sure enough, we had gone only a short way up the High Rain Forest road when we saw a sign: "Ice 10 miles." Five miles farther on there was another: "Ice 5 miles." The next one was: "Ice 1/2 mile." We practically crept that half-mile. We came to the last sign. It was outside a small grocery, and it read: "Ice 75 cents." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Deals At Cellphone Stores I ended up going directly to the store when looking for a new cellphone provider. They matched the deal I found online, plus gave me an addition rebate on each phone. They were also able to transfer my existing numbers, something that was not allowed with the online retailers offer.

 ___________________________________________________ >From Petra When I was a 20-something college student, I became quite friendly with my study partner, a 64-year-old man, who had returned to school to finish his degree. He confessed, with a wink, that he had once thought more than friendship might be a possibility between us. "So what changed your mind?" I asked him. "I went to my doctor and asked if he thought a 40-year age difference between a man and woman was insurmountable. He looked at my chart and said, 'You're interested in someone who's 104?'" ___________________________________________________
