 Rochelle Cressman, 32, reportedly began having sex with the boy in September 2018 and sexually abused him twice a week until April a total of at least 62 encounters, after which boy's mother discovered the intimate relationship and told authorities. Cressman, who taught health and physical education at Titusville Middle School, was charged Wednesday with ten counts each of statutory sexual assault and involuntary deviant sexual intercourse with a person less than 16-years-old. She was also charged with making terroristic threats to the boy. She reportedly told him not 'to not tell anyone of the relationship and (she) threatened to harm herself and him if anyone were to find out,' police said, according to the Times Observer. Cressman also faces 42 counts of indecent assault. The boy reportedly told Pennsylvania State Police that Cressman initiated the sexual contact. He said that the two had sex at her home and other residences. He told officers that Cressman had sex with him at least ten times and said that they engaged in other sexual contact as well. Cressman began working at the school in 2009 and continued her employment until April 12, 2019, the Titusville Area School District superintendent told Erie News Now. After her Wednesday arraignment, Cressman was booked at the Crawford County jail on a $75,000 bond. She is set to appear in court on May 23.   From: Richie Re: want to purchase a new PC  Dear Webby please help me decide on a new PC.. In you opinion, what's better: Optical Drive (don't understand the difference in the 2) DVD-Writer or DVD-RW? Storage: Larger 1TB Disk Drive or Smaller 128GB SSD? Processor: Intel Core i3 or Intel Core i5+ or AMD Ryzen 3 RAM (I'm not a gamer) 8GB or 12 GB Richie  Dear Richie DVD RW is better for you. 1 TB disk drive, or 2 TB Processor makes no real difference. The bottleneck and slowest part is the chair to keyboard interface, not the processor. RAM: 8 GB is nice, 12 GB is nicer. If you got 25 tabs open and are watching movies, it will still bung up anyway. A lot of poor people like me work quite well with 4 GB of RAM. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Thanks to Sandie for this story: A bricklayer at my husband's construction job routinely complained about the contents of his lunch box. "I'm sick and tired of getting the same old thing!" he shouted one day. "Tonight, I'll set my wife straight." The next day, the men could hardly wait until lunchtime to hear what happened. "You bet I told her off," the bricklayer boasted. "I said, 'No more of the same old stuff. Be creative!' We had one heck of a fight, but I got my point across." He had indeed. In front of an admiring audience, he opened his lunch box to find that his wife had packed a coconut and a hammer. He is now dating the sandwich girl from the Deli.

 A lunatic Dim is sitting in his cell playing solitaire. Another patient, who has been watching, suddenly cries, "Wait a minute! I just caught you cheating yourself." The first man puts his finger to his lips. "Shhh," he whispers. "Don't tell anybody, but I've been cheating myself at solitaire for years." "You don't say," says his surprised pal. "Don't you ever catch yourself cheating?" The first man shakes his head. "Naw," he says proudly. "I'm much too clever." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Back To School Schedules Create a back to school schedule for the family to help eliminate the stress of starting school again.

 ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Sandie for this story: I was talking on the phone with my son, who was stationed in Hawaii with the Air Force. He was explaining how the troops were learning to scuba-dive. "We used the buddy system," he said, "and occasionally dived into shark-infested waters." Listening on the extension, my daughter asked, "What do you do if you see a shark?" My son said, "Swim faster than my buddy." ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Sandie for this story: I was scheduled to fly from North Carolina to Germany, where my husband was stationed in the military. As I checked in at the airport, the ticket agent asked me some standard security questions. "Has anyone given you any packages you didn't pack yourself?" he asked. I told him that my mother-in-law had given me a parcel to take to her son. He looked at me very carefully and slowly asked, "Your mother-in-law? Does she like you? Maybe we better have some experts look at that package!" ___________________________________________________

 The census taker rang the doorbell and was quite surprised when the door was opened by a nude woman. "Don't be alarmed," she said, "I'm a nudist." Although somewhat embarrassed, the man proceeded to ask the routine questions. When he asked, "How many children do you have?" The lady replied, "Ten." "Lady," he gasped, "you're not a nudist, you just don't have time to get dressed!" ___________________________________________________
