Good Morning, Do! Today is Tuesday, March 22 Today in March 22 in 1991, Pamela Smart, a high school teacher, was found guilty in New Hampshire of manipulating her student-lover to kill her husband. ___________________________________________________ Bonehead Award 2 arrested for robbing pregnant woman at Clovis gas station ___________________________________________________ Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God. --- Heywood Broun (1888 - 1939) "Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation.

She brought her selection - a baseball bat to the cash register. "Cash or charge," the clerk asked. "Cash," she snapped. Then apologizing for her rudeness, she explained, " I've spent the afternoon at the motor-vehicle bureau. I am not too sane right now!!" "Shall I gift -wrap the bat?" the clerk asked sweetly, "Or or you going back?" ---------- Here they privatized vehicle registration. It is more expensive now, but the ladies there are friendlier. ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ It's time to do my bi-annual rant about auto-responders. Every now and then some smooth-talking moron manages to persuade otherwise quite reasonable people to use auto-responders to embarrass themselves. If YOU are one of those, stop and think for a bit, before you have lost all your friends. What does an auto-responder accomplish ? 1) Everybody puts your address into their spam filters, because they are not interested in the silly drivel of your auto-responder. 2) People forget that now all mail from you automatically goes into the garbage, and they don't believe you when you tell them that you answered their mail. NOTHING else EVER gets accomplished by a personal auto-responder. Commercial auto-responders that reply with up-to-the-minute fresh road reports, or the weather, or inventory of daily specials if you write to a certain address, those are useful, because they supply information that you requested. However, does anybody really need to know that Dingbat's computer admits that it has received the mail that you sent her (since you sent the mail to HER and not the Easter Bunny, you more or less expected that anyway), and that Dingbat is too lazy or too drunk to answer you right now. Well, you expected that too, so why repeat the never changing obvious facts ? If you have an auto-responder, do yourself and your friends a favor and get rid of it. NOW! Then get yourself a new address and get re-aquainted with your former friends who thought you had died when all your mail got filtered into the garbage without anybody ever seeing it. ____________________________________________________ Tom was being evaluated for mental problems and was asked by the doctor, "If a train was coming down the hallway toward you, what would you do?" Tom replied, "I would get in my helicopter and fly away!" The doctor then asked, "Where did you get a helicopter from?" Tom replied, "The same place you got your train!" ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! ___________________________________________________ Kathy wasn't impressed with his culinary skills, however. She looked disdainfully at the tray, and snorted, "A poached egg? I wanted scrambled!" Undaunted, the next morning, Anthony brought her a scrambled egg. Kathy wasn't having any of it. "Why can't I have some variety? I wanted poached this morning!" Determined to please Kathy, the next morning he brought her two eggs - one scrambled and one poached. "Here, my love... enjoy!" Kathy was furious, "You Bozo, you scrambled the wrong egg!" ____________________________________________________ Santisouk Photography Great Grey Owl coming for a landing after an unsuccessful hunt... we noticed the snow was too hard for him/her to go through...

On March 18, police say the woman reported that her purse was stolen after being kicked in the stomach at a Shell gas station at the intersection of Willow and Nees. Police were able to use a camera to find the suspect's car and discovered that the car had been stolen. They also found that the woman's credit cards were being used shortly after the robbery. Authorities arrested 43-year-old Jose Garcia and 41-year-old Joey Tyler in connection to the crime. Detectives say Tyler still had the stolen car and one of the woman's credit cards when he was arrested. Both were booked in the Fresno County Jail for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy. Tyler was also booked for the stolen car and for violating parole in connection to an armed robbery in 2013. The woman and the unborn baby were treated at a hospital and are now recovering. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Yolanda Re: Action Required Spam Dear Webby, I keep getting spam from some sheetheads, claiming my mail box is almost full. They forge my own address as the sender, so it is pointless to reply to tell them to go to hell. Since I have a 30 year old habit of sending brief messages to myself, instead of plastering Post-It notes onto all walls and windows and doors, I need an email based solution. The Aff-holes are probably in Ghana or Russia, so I am not likely to carry my marble rolling pin over there. I am sure, though, that you have a better solution! What is it? Thank You! Yolanda Dear Yolanda Have not seen you for ages! Just make a filter! With MailWasher we had tricky filters for almost 3 dozen years. For example IF the sender is {your address} but the subject line does not have ~~ then dump the mail, automatically, without listing it. Then just get into the habit of putting two Tildes ~~ at the begin of the subject line, to tell Mailwasher that the message is one of your online post-it notes. I have used that trick since the mid 90's. It has never let me down. Have FUN!

An American tourist in Tel Aviv was about to enter the impressive Mann Auditorium to take in a concert by the Israel Philharmonic.
