After they filled out the forms, the registration clerk inquired, "What ever possessed you to study Russian?" The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a Russian baby, and in a year or so he'll start to talk. We just want to be able to understand him." _____________________________________________________   Buck in Canola Barb O'Brien Dauncey Hands up buck!

 Woman assaulted father, because he would not share his medical dope 
 A woman allegedly battered her father and attempted to grab his genitals during an argument over him not sharing his medical marijuana with her, Florida police report. Cops allege that Dakota DiRienzo, 22, tangled with her father Luigi, 59, inside his residence at the Pelican Way mobile home park in Sebastian, a city just north of Vero Beach. As detailed in an arrest affidavit, the younger DiRienzo reportedly told police that she and her father were involved in an argument...due to him sharing his medical marijuana with his friends but not her. During the confrontation, DiRienzo allegedly pulled her father to the ground, tearing his shirt. Luigis girlfriend told cops that Dakota attacked Luigi by pulling him down to the ground, and by attempting to grab his genitals. The 4 11 Dakota, who suffered scratch marks on her back during the incident, was arrested for misdemeanor battery. She was released from the county jail this afternoon on $1000 bond. DiRienzo, who is scheduled for arraignment on August 18, has been ordered by a judge to have no contact with her father. DiRienzo, listed as a student in jail records, graduated high school and has attended community college outside New York City. Pictured above, DiRienzo appears to be a pot enthusiast based on her social media accounts. Atop her Twitter page is a photo of a large marijuana bud, while one post includes a quote declaring, I dont smoke to party, or to just get high. I smoke because of the way I look at life when Im high. DiRienzos Instagram page, which is private, includes a link to an online petition calling for changing the definition of hemp to allow up to 1% THC in the plant.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Rosie RE: Windoze hot-Keys   Dear Webby, I know you have occasionally shown us SOME of the Windoze hot keys. Whereare the rest of them? Rosie  Dear Rosie They are right here: Exam is next Wednesday. Windows keyboard shortcuts Alt+Tab Switch between open applications in all versions of Windows. Reverse the direction by pressing Alt+Shift+Tab at the same time. Ctrl+Tab Switches between program groups, tabs, or document windows in applications that support this feature. Reverse the direction by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Tab at the same time. Alt+double-click In Windows 95 or later, display the properties of the object you double-click. For example, doing this on a file would display its properties. Alt+Print Screen Create a screenshot only for the active program window in all versions of Windows. For example, if you opened the calculator and pressed these shortcut keys, only the calculator window would be created as a screenshot. If the Print Screen key is pressed alone, the whole screen will be made into a screenshot. Ctrl+Alt+Del Open the Windows option screen for locking computer, switching user, Task Manager, etc. in later versions of Windows. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del multiple times reboots the computer.

NOTE: If you use LAUNCHY, then ALT + Spacebar brings up Launchy, ready to launch any of your programs, or to act as a calculator with a progress ribbon, that shows you what numbers you have typo-ed before. Personally, I much prefer Launchy. Alt+Enter Opens properties window of selected icon or program in Windows 95 and later. Shift+Del Permanently delete any file or another object without throwing it into the Recycle Bin in Windows 95 and later. Hold down the Shift key When putting in an audio or data CD that uses Autoplay, holding down the Shift key prevents that CD from playing.

See our what are F1 through F12 keys page for a full listing of what function keys do with all other programs. What are the F1 through F12 keys? F1 Activates help for current open application.

Windows keyboard key shortcuts Below is a listing of Windows keys that can be used on computers running Microsoft Windows 95 or later and using a keyboard with a Windows key.

You can highlight this section, hit CTRL C to copy it, jump to NoteTab or WordPad, CTRL V to paste it, then delete out the keys, that you will never need, and just memorize the rest for the exaam next Wednesday. By the way, WINKEY does not mean winking at me. That is the key with the Windows flag on it between CTRL and ALT. However, you definitely CAN wink at me every time you use the WINKEY key. Have FUN!

 "I fall in love really quickly and this scares guys away. I'm like, 'I'm in love with you, I want to marry you, I want to move in with you!' And they're like, 'Ma'am, just give me the ten bucks for the pizza and I'm outta here.'" --Penny Wiggins _____________________________________________ A customer wanted to ask his attractive waitress for a date, but couldn't get her attention. When he was able to catch her eye, she quickly looked away. Finally he followed her into the kitchen and blurted out his invitation. To his amazement, she readily consented. He said, "Why have you been avoiding me all this time? You wouldn't even make eye contact." "Oh," said the waitress, "I thought you wanted more coffee." ____________________________________________ A little girl and a little boy were at day care one day. The girl approaches the boy and says, "Hey Tommy, wanna play house?" He says, "Sure! What do you want me to do?" The girl replies, "I want you to communicate." Tommy says to her, "That word is too big. I don't know what it means." The little girl smirks and says, "Perfect. You can be the husband."
