The doctor gave him a thorough examination, found absolutely nothing physically wrong with him, and then told him, "Listen, if you ever expect to cure your insomnia, you just have to stop taking your troubles to bed with you." "I know," said the man, "but I can't. My wife refuses to sleep alone." _____________________________________________________ Wild horses near Sundre, Alberta Besmellah Samim ___________________________________________________ After a young couple brought their new baby home, the wife suggested that her husband should try his hand at changing diapers. "I'm busy," he said. "I'll do the next one." The next time came around and she asked again. The husband narrowed his eyes as he looked at his wife. "I didn't mean the next diaper. I meant the next baby." ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Miguel Carranza. 22, Fresno, California, USA Fresno mother murdered, suspect shot by police The comfort of a family is the only thing helping ease Irma Carranza's pain. Her sister, 57-year-old Delia, was stabbed to death Saturday evening by her son, 22-year-old Miguel Carranza. "We miss her so much, and no, we'll never be able to see her again," Carranza told Action News in Spanish. It happened at Delia's home off Cedar and Balch in southeast Fresno. According to detectives, Carranza called 911, saying he killed his mother, and he was going to take his life, too. Irma says Carranza locked his mother in her bedroom as he attacked her. She claimed Delia was stabbed about 40 times. "She wasn't able to survive. She died there. She wanted to get out, but he wouldn't let her," Irma said. When police arrived, they tried to talk Carranza down. After an hour of negotiations, he finally exited the home with a knife in hand. He charged at police, and four officers fired at him. "Police officers shot him in the legs so he wouldn't get any closer to them and when he did anyway, that's when they shot him in the stomach," Carranza said. A neighbor described the disturbing scene she witnessed. "He had a huge knife in his hand, and he just had blood up all his arms," said Sarah Kormakov. "Hearing the shots, it was like you could feel the shock wave of the bullets hitting you." Carranza survived the shooting and is expected to make a full recovery. Irma and her family still don't know what could have compelled their nephew to kill the woman they loved so dearly. Irma says the 22-year-old kept to himself and was anti-social. "I think he must have been on some kind of drug that made him act that way. That's the only way he could have done that," she said. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Connie RE: Search Hijacking Dear Webby, An email from security@paypal.com showed up in my mailwasher last night. I knew that MailWasher flagged it for deleting for a good reason, but I was curious and decided to play with fire. I downloaded this to see what it was, but did NOT click on the included link. And it still managed to hijack the search feature on my browser. When I turned on the computer (or rebooted), a search engine list ran down the left side column of the opening page. I could close that, but the next page I went to turned into a full screen search list. The only way to close this was to shut down the browser. After spending all morning on this, I found the CWShredder. This is a very small utility that specifically removes search hijacks. I vaguely remembered the Cool Web Search Shredder. It was a guerilla program at that time, ages ago. Now it is owned by Trend Micro. I hope they paid big money to put that great little program into their stable! It is now here: https://filehippo.com/download_cwshredder/ Still works great and fast! Connie Dear Connie! Thanks for bringing the Shredder back! Everbody, be careful with the download. TrendMicro likes to slither all kinds of ALMOST related stuff into yur path. By paying attention and not getting greedy, you CAN limit the download to just what you want. But you gotta pay attention!

_____________________________________________ >From Marnie After I recovered from surgery, my family suggested that I write thank-you notes to everyone who sent gifts and cards. I agreed that it was a nice idea, and I asked my daughter to buy several books of 'Love' stamps at the post office. Upon returning, my daughter said, "I asked for books of Love stamps, but the clerk told me they were out of books. And all he could give me was 'Love' in the sheets." ____________________________________________ "Louisa" asked her small brother, "could you help me with my math homework?" Certainly not," replied Louisa indignantly. "It wouldn't be right." "Probably not," said her brother, "but you could at least try!" ____________________________________________ A customer was really hassling an airline agent at the ticket counter -- yelling and using foul language. However, the agent was polite, pleasant and smiled while the customer continued to abuse her. When the man finally left, the next person in line said to the agent, "Does that happen often? I can't believe how nice you were to him." The agent smiled and said, "No problem, I took care of it. He's going to Detroit. His bags are going to Bangkok." ____________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
