DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Tom Re: Some missing pictures Dear Webby, I just recently began to get e-mails that should have pictures, but instead the space where the pictures should be is blank with red x's. I can't open them. Can you help? Thanks, Tom Dear Tom If all your emails are missing pictures, then it is a setting in YOUR email program. If just emails from certain people have red x's, then those people need to be told to do things different. If you or the sender are on a slow connection, then they can set their email program to ignore pictures. Nowadays the need for that is rare, except when you are on a tarin or bus, but what happens is that people forget to switch back to normal mode. If the problem is just with one sender, tell him or her to check that setting in ntheir email program. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs.

I drove to the local glass shop, where I paid $110 for a replacement. The owner asked if I'd like them to install it, but I said I could handle it myself. I managed to climb up the ladder to the deck before dropping the glass. Sheepishly, I returned to the shop. The owner showed no emotion as he cut the second glass. When I saw another $110 charge, I said, "I thought I might get a break on the second piece of glass." "I did give you a break," he replied. "How so?" I asked. "I didn't laugh, did I?" ___________________________________________________ Custom at Duquesne University dictated that if a professor was ten minutes late, class was canceled. One professor arrived early for a 9 a.m. lecture. He placed his hat on his desk, and went to the faculty room. Before he knew it, it was 9:10. By the time he got back to his classroom, it was empty. The next day, he let his students have it. "When my hat is here," he fumed, "I'm here!" The following day, the professor arrived at 9 a.m. He was met by the sight of 28 hats on 28 desks -- and no students. ___________________________________________________ An elderly couple had been shopping at a grocery store, and the wife decided to steal a can of peaches. The inevitable happened and she was caught. Upon her court date, the judge asked her what she had stolen. "Your Honor, I stole a can of peaches." The judge replied, "How many peaches were in the can?" She said, "Six." The judge then said, "I will sentence you to six days in jail." Her husband stood up behind her and replied, "Your Honor, she also stole a can of peas." __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
