Good Morning, Do! Today is Wednesday, August 7 By far the best of the summer meteor showers, and one of the best of the entire year, the Perseid meteor shower runs between July 17 and August 24, and reaches its peak on the night of August 12-13. If you have reasonably clear sky and no street lights causing light pollution, go outside with a warm coat and some coffee, and look to the North-east and up at a 45 degree angle. If you know how to recognize the Perseid, great! That is where the meteors will appear. If you don't recognize it, just watch for the meteors. They will help you find the Perseid. Expect, depending on how clear your sky is, from one to twenty meteors per minute. _____________________________________________________ Today, August 7 in 1914 - Germany invaded France.

Today's Bonehead Award: Mother of 'missing' four-year-old boy and her female partner are charged with manslaughter after his body was found in a Baltimore dumpster. _______________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! _______________________________________________ Everybody knows if you are too careful you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something. --- Gertrude Stein (1874 - 1946) "The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless." --- Nicholas Chamfort _____________________________________________________ One day a co-worker told my friend, Stan, that she was going home early because she didn't feel well. Since Stan was just getting over something himself, he wished her well and said he hoped it wasn't something he had given her. A fellow worker piped up, "I sure hope not. She has morning sickness." ______________________________________________________` We got a solar storm going on.

Authorities including the FBI had been searching for Malachi Lawson after he was reported missing from the porch of his grandmother's home on Thursday, August 1. But the boy's mother Alicia Lawson admitted on Friday night that Malachi was not really missing, but dead. Lawson, 25, helped police find Malachi's remains on Saturday in a metal trash bin, where the young boy's body was found with 'obvious signs of injury'. She and her partner Shatika Lawson, 40, face charges including child abuse, involuntary manslaughter and giving false statements. The pair could face further charges once a medical examination has been completed, police commissioner Michael Harrison warned. The couple are now in police custody and cops have released their booking photos after they were formally charged with child abuse and involuntary manslaughter. Malachi had likely been dead since August 1, police said. According to charging documents seen by the Baltimore Sun, Malachi had been suffering from burns for days before he died. Fearing Malachi would be taken away from them, the two women had attempted to treat the burns themselves rather than seeking medical help, it is alleged. Alicia Lawson allegedly woke up to find her son unresponsive in a 'puddle of wetness' and put him in a dumpster nearly 10 miles away. The FBI grew suspicious after finding that Lawson had searched for trash collection sites on the web, prosecutors claim. Speaking on Saturday, commissioner Harrison said: 'Last night after extensive interviews with Malachi's mother, Alicia Lawson, she confessed that her son was not missing, but deceased. 'She subsequently gave detectives the location of the child's remains which were in the 5500 block of Haddon Avenue. 'Biological mother Alicia Lawson and her partner, Shatika Lawson will be charged with child neglect resulting in the death of a minor.' Baltimore police, Maryland state police and the FBI all assisted the ultimately futile search for Malachi, he said. The young child had some 'obvious signs of injury,' police said, refusing to provide further details. The child's body has now been transported to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy, Harrison said. 'The search for Malachi was truly a community-wide effort and I want to thank personally everyone who dropped what they were doing, left their place of employment to help the search,' he said. The investigation has been handed over to Baltimore Police's homicide division. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Ann Re: Cost of envelope labels Dear Webby, How much do those envelope labels cost? Ann Dear Ann The prices change with the weather. Staples is somehow allergic to keeping prices the same. Whenever Walmart or somebody else has a Special, they try to beat that. Right now I see that they have a 750 label pack for $10.87. Staples Laser/Inkjet Address Labels, 1" x 2 5/8", White, 30 Labels/Sheet, 25 Sheets/Box (18054/SIWJ100) Staples Laser/Inkjet Address Labels, 1" x 2 5/8", White, 30 Labels/Sheet, 25 Sheets/Box (18054/SIWJ100) 750/Box $10.87 1" x 2 5/8" is a very common size. You select 18054 in Open Office or WORD, and do 30 different labels per sheet. They have smaller packs with fewer sheets, but at those prices, you might as well be a big spender and get 750.

After the birth of my son, a woman from the records depart- ment stopped by my hospital room to get information for his birth certificate. "Father's date of birth?" she asked. When I told her, she said, "Do you realize that his birthday is exactly nine months before your son's birth?" "No, I hadn't thought about it," I responded, "but now that you mention it, I realize that I have a daughter who turned two a couple of days before the same date." After she finished taking down all the data, she patted my hand and said, "Maybe you should start buying your husband a tie for his birthday." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Two confirmed bachelors were sitting and talking. Their conversation drifted from sports to cooking. "I got a cookbook once," said the first, "but I could never do anything with it." "Too much fancy cooking in it?" asked the second. "You said it. Every one of the recipes began the same way, 'Take a clean dish and...'" -------------- Women seem to think I am either too sexy for them, or too poor, so I reverted to being an un-tamed bachelor. However, I never have a lack of clean dishes. I like washing them. Putting them away is a different story, though :D ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Shop for Gifts at the Dollar Store This year when Christmas shopping, consider buying gifts as well as decorative items from your local dollar store.

The hostess raised her eyebrows and curtly responded, "Mr. Churchill, in this country we ask for white meat or dark meat." "My apologies, Madam, I was not aware of your customs." The following day, a "thank you" gift was delivered to the party's hostess of a large orchid.
