Good Morning, Do, Today is Tuesday, May 8 Got bloodied yeterday evening while walking my neighbor's big dog. It was really funny. A lady a few blocks away asked if her dog could meet Copper. Is aid sure, so she took her dog out of her pick-up. Copper was well behaved until he was about 12 feet away. Then he suddenly bolted to that dog like a shotgun slug. Keep in mind, Copper weighs about 15 pounds more than you do, and he is on 4x4. There was no way I could hold him back. I flew through the air and with him pulling had no chance to stay upright. With one hand looped in the leash and the other holding the willow switch I use to get his attention, I nosedived onto the sharp gravel. Glasses shattered, of course, and the nose was bleeding profusely. So were the palms of my hands and both knees. The lady got some wet paper towel from her nearby house and stopped the bleeding. I thought it was rather funny, but she felt really sorry, and gave me a very nice hug. After I told her Copper had done it just so I would get a decent hug, she gave me a couple more. Still got my indoor reading glasses.  Have FUN!

A store clerk reported seeing the suspect, identified as Angelique Sanchez, 26, place something in the Aurora, Colo., store's microwave before hearing a loud bang seconds later, Denver's KUSA-TV reported, citing an Aurora Police Department report. The clerk reportedly told Sanchez to clean up the mess or she would alert police. Sanchez then wiped out the microwave onto the floor with napkins and left, Pueblo's KOAA-TV reported, also citing the police report. The clerk then called police and told them she noticed yellow liquid dripping from the microwave and the smell was unquestionably urine. Police later found Sanchez about a half-mile away, at a health clinic where she was waiting to undergo a physical exam and urinalysis for a potential job, according to the report. One of the quality-check measures for a urine screening involves making sure the sample is at body temperature, or around 98.6 degrees, KUSA-TV reported. Sanchez reportedly told police that she had cleaned up the mess and did not understand the problem. When I reminded her that urine blew up where people prepare their food, she told me it was not real urine, a police officer wrote in his report. The officer said he issued Sanchez a summons for damaged property after informing her that the microwave is worth $500, KUSA-TV reported. Sanchez was also not allowed to take the drug test that day, KOAA-TV reported.  
 Tech Support Pits From: Diana Re: Why and how increase virtual memory  Dear Webby, Just love your newsletter and advice. Can you tell me the benifits of increasing virtual memory? What is your recommendation for the size it should be? And how do I do it? Thank you very much, Diana  Dear Diana Virtual memory is a part of the hard drive pretending to be chip memory, when the machine needs more RAM than you actually have under the hood. As a rule of thumb, make the virtual memory two to 4 times the size of your RAM. If your RAM is 2 GB, then make the virtual emory 8 GB. To change the virtual memory settings, go to Start, Control Panel and click on System. Click on the Advanced tab and under the Performance box, click Settings. In Windows 7, you'll need to click on Advanced System Settings on the left side to bring up the System Properties dialog. Have FUN DearWebby    
 A man goes into a drug store and asks the pharmacist if she can give him something for the hiccups. The pharmacist promptly reaches out and slaps the man's face. "What did you do that for?" the man asks. "Well, you don't have the hiccups anymore do you?" The man says, "No, but my wife out in the car still does! Be careful, she is a wrestler!"

 When my older brother was very young, he always walked up to the church altar with my mother when she took communion. On one occasion, he tugged at her arm and asked, "What's that latin stuff the priest says when he gives you the bread?" Mom whispered something in his ear. Imagine his shock many years later when he learned that the priest doesn't say, "Be quiet or I'll knock your @#$%^ block off!"
