"Of course I do," he answered as if he was offended, and left for the office. At 10:00 a.m., the doorbell rang and when the woman opened the door, she was handed a box of a dozen long stemmed red roses. At 1:00 p.m., a foil-wrapped, two-pound box of her favorite chocolates was delivered. Later, a boutique delivered a designer dress. The woman couldn't wait for her husband to come home. "First the flowers, then the chocolates and then the dress!" she exclaimed.

 ______________________________________________________ Reported by Noella An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Sarah Ekhardt, 57, Travis County, Texas  Pussy-brain judge in Texas wears pussy-hat in court  A judge in Travis County, Texas showed up to the bench earlier this week wearing a notable clothing item, a "Marching Vaginas Pussy Hat", from where some women in a few towns where Democrats won, protested that Americans had elected Melania's hubby instead of Broom Hilda. (via IJR). The worst part, though, is the city said it's perfectly legal for her to do so. Travis county is currently about to be defunded because of not obeying state law regarding illegal immigrant felons. A photo of Judge Sarah Eckhardt wearing the "Marching Vaginas Pussy Hat" in her courtroom first appeared on Facebook, then soon after, went viral on Twitter. One tweet questioned whether defendants felt they could "expect a fair trial, especially as a man" if the judge was wearing a pussy hat. However, apparently she has been known to be a raving Democrat and not letting legalities stand in her way. Should Judge Sarah Eckhardt be awarded a Pussyhead award instead of a Bonehead Award? Vote with your PayPal! (I need to get my car fixed) If the result is an even number of dollars, I'll design a Pussyhead Award, if it is an odd number, I will call it a Sarah Eckhardt award. Your call!  ______________________________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Terrie Re: Windows Patches Dear Webby I still have not got those Windows patches that are mentioned in some magazines. Why am I being excluded? Terrie  Dear Terrie Don't panic. Windows is not going to fall down and break. They are just fixing old bugs and putting new ones in. Most likely you have Automatic Updates turned off. Just click on START, ALL PROGRAMS Windows Update And get your patches that way. In there you can also set your updating preferences. Have FUN! DearWebby    Office trick for the day: Print a neat little label and glue it onto a piece of metal or cardboard large enough to cover the button panel on the photocopier. Attach it with double-sided tape. On the label print: This copier is now VOICE activated. Please speak loudly and clearly.

 Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Keep Your Feet Dry With Plastic Bags By Cyinda [214 Posts, 1,286 Comments] When we were kids and wanted to play outside in the rain or snow, we didn't have boots. My mother would put plastic bags over our socks then put our shoes on then cover the plastic bags up with our pants. My mom used bread bags but I used recycled plastic grocery bags for my kids. These days I still cover my socks with plastic bags before I go out into the snow. It's one more useful thing you can do with those plastic bags that are just waiting to be reused! By CDR   
  
What to do with your old ship 
 ____________________________________________________ Thanks to Bonnie for this one: One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, "I'm not going." "Why not?" she asked. I'll give you two good reasons." He said. "One, they don't like me,and two, I don't like them." His mother replied, "I'll give YOU two good reasons why you SHOULD go to church. One, you're 54 years old, and two, you're the pastor!" ___________________________________________________  
  
The haunting images of an abandoned Italian villa. Makes one wonder why it's sitting there so lonely. 
 When I attended a convention of oil men, the first speaker was from Texas. He rambled on for a good half hour and then introduced the next gent, who happened to be from Oklahoma. The Texan said, "Oklahoma, an outlying province of Texas." The second speaker said, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, but, just to set the record straight, there ain't NO state in the Union that can out-lie Texas."
