"How are you feeling?" the visitor asked. "Oh," said the lady, "I'm just worried sick!" "What are you worried about, dear?" her friend asked. "You look like you're in good health. They are taking care of you, aren't they?" "Yes, they are taking very good care of me." "Are you in any pain?" she asked. "No, I have never had a pain in my life." "Well, what are you worried about?" her friend asked again. The lady leaned back in her rocking chair and slowly explained her major worry. "Every close friend I ever had has already died and gone on to heaven. I'm afraid they're all wondering where I went." _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ The little girl is just chattering on to the dozen or so other people on the elevator about what a GREAT time she had on the Disney Cruise ship.

The little girl said, "Even mom and dad had a great time on the ship!" To the utter embarrassment of mom, the little girl nods her head to the baby and says, "Mom calls the baby, 'Our little Souvenir' " ______________________________________________________ The Superbloom is happening now further North in the Central Valley area. ______________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

Had meth, neddles, but no license and no insurance. A mom with meth is accused of passing out behind the wheel of a car with a small child in the backseat, according to Spartanburg County sheriffs deputies. They say it happened Sunday on Highway 357 in Lyman. Deputies say a man on the scene told them he tried to wake up the woman, but she was unresponsive. The woman was slumped over the wheel and the car was still running, while a small child was unbuckled in the backseat, according to an incident report. The deputy says there was no way to buckle the child in with all the clutter in the car. The deputy says they were able to wake the woman up. She was identified as Brandi Deann Brigman, 31, of Chesnee. Brigman told the deputy she drove to the store to buy an alcoholic drink to help with a UTI she thought she had. Meth was found in Brigmans jacket pocket, according to the deputy. Brigman failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for DUI, according to the report. Brigman was read her Miranda rights and reportedly told the deputy she had a bag in her car that had needles and a pipe in it. The deputy found 7 needles with meth inside, a pipe and a spoon with white residue, according to the report. Brigman told the deputy she was going to register her vehicle and get insurance when she could. The report says Brigman was under suspension with a prior driving under suspension charge within five years. Brigman is charged with: DUI 1st offense Child endangerment DUS 2nd offense Uninsured vehicle fee violation 1st Offense Looks like they forgot about the meth and accessories. Or maybe the paper had only room for 4 Offenses. ______________________________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Moe Re: Caution with Glary Utilities Dear Webby STOP!

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Building a Stackable Potato Tower By lalala... [825 Posts, 106 Comments] Save gardening space potatoes and grow tons of potatoes by building this stackable potato planter. This page gives you step by step instructions to make a stackable potato planter. Growing potatoes is easy with this stackable planter. As the plants grow, simply add another frame and more soil. Supplies: 8 2x6 boards (10 ft) 2 2x2 boards (8 ft) screws outdoor latex paint paint brushes power screw driver saw tape measure Steps in building the Potato tower I did something similar in the Yukon. I got a bunch of same size car tires from the dump, stacked them, hammered in two pieces of concrete rebar for guides just inside the tires, and then tossed dirt and potato pieces into it. The tires absorbed more heat, and in spring I used a plexiglass lid for a greenhouse roof. Potato harvest was adequate considering the low effort put into it. I learned a much more effective and productive method later. Raised bed for fashionable ease on ones aching back, filled with compost, containing a fair bit of fish heads and tails, and forest dirt. Then I tossed potato pieces onto the dirt, and covered it with an old bed sheet. Then I bent some concrete rebar into tunnel hoops, sleeved them with old garden hose, and covered the tunnel with plastic. After a couple of weeks the bedsheet raised up in spots, where potato plants were growing underneath. So I duck-taped a sharp fish knife onto a rake, reached into the tunnel and stabbed the sheet where plants were raising it. After that they grew fast! Naturally I watered them whenever they looked wilted. From mid summer on I could reach in under the sheet and harvest a meal`s worth of clean potatoes. Those cheater harvests did not slow them down at all. Naturally, you don`t really need a high-bed, if your back is good and you like bending down. The potatoes dont care. Potatoes grow OK in northern climates, but much better with a bit more heat and water. Putting a plastic tunnel over them at least doubles the crop. Have FUN!
