"How could you do this!" he exclaimed. "I don't know," she wailed, "I was standing in the store looking at the dress on sale. Then I found myself trying it on. It was like the Devil was whispering to me, 'Gee, you look great in that dress. You should buy it.'" "Well," the pastor persisted, "You know how to deal with him! Just tell him, "Get behind me, Satan!" "I did," replied his wife, "but then he said "It looks great from back here, too." ______________________________________________________` He is MINE ! _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

The 18-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska, had developed an online relationship with Darin Schilmiller, 21, of Indiana, who posed as a millionaire named Tyler, and offered her at least $9 million to kill Cynthia Hoffman and send him videos and photographs of the murder, according to the Alaska Department of Law. The two began discussing a plan to rape and murder someone in Alaska, several weeks before Hoffman's murder, according to court documents. Hoffman, 19, and Brehmer are described in the documents as best friends. Hoffman was bound with duct tape, shot in the back of the head, and pushed into a river near a hiking trail outside Anchorage on June 2, the department said in a statement. Anchorage Police officers discovered her body along the Eklutna River bank on June 4. Brehmer recruited Kayden McIntosh, 16, Caleb Leyland, 19, and two juveniles to help her carry out the killing, and in exchange, all of them would receive a significant sum of money for their part in the planning and/or execution of the murder, according to the department's statement. CNN has reached out to Brehmer's attorney, Emily Cooper, but a request for comment has not been answered. Victim had a learning disability Hoffman was brought to Thunderbird Falls by Brehmer and McIntosh in a truck borrowed from Leyland under the ruse they were going on a hike near the Eklutna River, the statement said. They stopped at a clearing and Hoffman's hands and feet were bound with duct tape and duct tape was wrapped around her head and mouth, according to court documents. McIntosh shot Hoffman one time in the back of the head with Brehmer's gun, court documents said, and she was then put in the Eklutna River. Phone records show Brehmer was sending videos and photographs to Schilmiller at his directive throughout. Hoffman's father, Timothy Hoffman, told CNN affiliate KTVA that his daughter had a learning disability. Hoffman said in court his daughter was an angel and a daddy's girl. 'Tyler' had also directed girl to sexually assault a child A grand jury indicted all the defendants Friday, June 14 for first-degree murder, first-degree conspiracy to commit murder, and two counts of second-degree murder and other charges. McIntosh is being charged as an adult. Brehmer, McIntosh, and Leyland are in the custody of the Department of Corrections and will be arraigned Tuesday, according to the Alaska Department of Law. The juvenile defendants are also currently in custody, the Department of Law said. Schilmiller will be arraigned once extradited to Alaska, the Department of Law said. He is currently in federal custody for child pornography charges. Federal court documents allege Schilmiller had also directed Brehmer to sexually assault an 8 or 9 year old and a 15-year-old and send videos to him. Brehmer told investigators she did, and video of the 15-year-old was recovered by investigators. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Thomas Re: Burn part of an MP3 file Dear Webby, Hope you can help me with this problem. I have downloaded a podcast (MP3) to my computer. I now have it on my desktop and want to burn only one part of it to a CD. Is there a way to do that? Thomas Dear Thomas Yes, sure you can! First you have to split the file with an audio editing tool. There are tons of programs available for messing with MP3. Some are free, and some are good. CoolEdit and mp3trim have the best reputation. You can split the file into pieces, or cut the boring parts and just trim the file. Then you can burn it like you burn any other mp3 file. CoolEdit Pro is still here. Have FUN!

The night before I was to have cardiac surgery, the doctor suggested I take a shower because I wouldn't be able to for several days, which was fine with me As I walked down the hall, I had a Nurse on either side. One of them asked, "Are you going to be able to manage OK?" I said, "I feel a little weak and a bit dizzy. Perhaps both of you would be kind enough to get in the shower with me." The cute little Nurse looked up at me, giggled and said, "Nice try. We got a fire hose for that, and can do it from a safe distance."

"The man I marry must be a shining light amongst company. He must be musical. Tell jokes. Sing, Entertain. And stay home at night!" Carol interjected, "Girl, if that's all you want, you should save yourself a hell of a lot of trouble and just get yourself a TV!" ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Yarn as Ribbon Yarn is relatively inexpensive and makes attractive ribbon for gifts.

All held up their hands except one small elderly lady. "Mrs. Jones? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?" "I don't have an enemy in the world," she replied, smiling sweetly. "Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?" "I happen to be ninety-eight years YOUNG!" she replied. "Oh, Mrs. Jones, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have a single enemy?" The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said, "I outlived all them useless bitches!" ___________________________________________________ "Welcome to heaven, here's your harp and your tuning key."

Everything was ready, and nothing could dampen Jennifer's excitement, not even her parents' nasty divorce. Her mother Sheila finally found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother of the bride EVER! A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn her new young stepmother, Barbie, had purchased the same dress. She a sked Barbie to exchange the dress, but Barbie refused, "Absolutely not! I'm going to wear this dress; I'll look like a million in it!" Jennifer told her mother, who graciously replied, "Never mind dear. I'll get another dress, after all it's YOUR special day, not hers." Two weeks later, another dress was finally found. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, "What are you going to do with the first dress? Maybe you should return it. You don't have any place to wear it." Sheila grinned and replied, "Of course, I do, dear! I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner!" __________________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
