[info][add][mail][note]Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680) ____________________________________________________ An man remarks, "You always carry my photo in your handbag to the office. Why?" "When there is a problem, no matter how impossible," replies his wife, "I look at your picture and the problem becomes relatively insignificant." "You see how miraculous and powerful I am for you?" says the man. "Yes, I see your picture and say to myself, 'Just how bad is this problem, compared to him?'" __________________________________________________ Sam made an appointment with a urologist, famous for his work in the field of impotence. The doctor examined him and said, "You're in remarkably good condition for a man of 85. Why are you here?" Sam replied, "My friend Max says he has sex twice a week. I can't do that." The doctor shrugged. "Yes you can. You can certainly SAY you have sex as many times a week as you like." __________________________________________________ An International Bonehead Award has been earned by Shawn Outler, Miami, Florida, USA Ex-FAU Student To Spend 24 Years In Federal Prison A former Florida Atlantic University student will spend 24 years in federal prison, then another 25 years under supervised release. Shawn Anthony Jackson Outler was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon for producing child sexual abuse material of a 14-year-old girl. According to court records and a statement from the United States Department of Justice, Outler used social media applications to form relationships with nine minor females ranging in ages from 13 to 17. After befriending the minors, he enticed them to create sexually explicit videos and directed them to engage in sexually explicit activity via video conferencing. With some of these minor females, Outler succeeded in establishing dominant/submissive relationships during which time he verbally belittled and humiliated them and had some engage in self-harm such as burning, carving, and cutting. He had some of the females perform degrading acts and threatened to post them online should the minor female fail to comply with his requests for production of sexually explicit acts. Outler was arrested without incident by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on March 3, 2022. In addition to Outlers prison sentence, he will have 25 years of supervised release, pay restitution, and register as a sex offender upon his release from prison. Juan Antonio Gonzalez, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and acting Special Agent in Charge Maged Behnam, FBI, Miami Field Office, made the announcement. ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ A lady on her first visit to Yellowstone National Park said to her guide, "Look at all those big rocks. Wherever did they come from?" "The glaciers brought them down," said the guide. "But where are the glaciers?" "The glaciers," said the guide in a weary voice, "have gone back for more rocks." ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Lisa Kinsey Iberian Lynx ______________________________________ (When you re-tell this joke, you'll have to replace Kentucky and Tennesee with the names of states in your area.) On the border of Kentucky and Tennessee there's a small forest. Half of the forest belongs to a Kentucky farmer, while the other half belongs to a Tennessee man. One day, while out for a walk in the woods, the Tennessee man comes across a wolf caught in a trap. He rushes back to his house and calls his Kentucky neighbor. "There's one of your wolves caught in a trap on my side of the forest." "How do you know it's one of *our* wolves?" the Kentucky farmer asked. "Well," the Tennessee man replied, "he's already chewed off three of his legs and he's still trapped." _______________________________________________ A Muskogee, Oklahoma man was arrested for spending five days living in a ceiling of a Homeland grocery store. He was discovered when one of his beer cans almost hit a store clerk as it fell through the ceiling.

Not bloody likely! What is there that is cheap or free? Janet Dear Janet I have used PSP since the mid 80s.I am still using Version 7 from the day befoe they got taken over by Corel. I bought Version 8 and dumped it. No idea what version they got by now. PSP is great, but not free. If you need a free one, try GIMP. GIMP DOWNLOAD You can get Linux or Windows versions there. All free. And 18 different languages available. Yes, extremely impressive! If you are doing big Freeway billboards, GIMP is definitely the program to use. Set aside an evening to glance through the manual. It will surprise you and boggle your mind, but it is better than starting to work and THEN trying to figure out how to go further. GIMP might be overkill right now, but once you get comfortable with it, you can do absolutely ANYTHING with it.
