Good Morning, Do, Today is Thursday, August 31 The smoke from the forest fires is getting rather thick. Not just a faint camp fire smell, but thick smoke obscuring vision. This evening, while turning around when I was bringing my pick-up to Barb, -her car, a PT Cruiser is a lemon and now needs a water pump-, I backed into the driver side door of her neighbor across the street. I lost a taillight, just expensive plastic, but his nice Volvo now has a nasty crease in the door. @#$% Smoke! The insurance will pay for the damage to the Volvo, but I need to find some some cash for the tail light assembly of my pick-up, before the cops order it off the road. If you happen to have any excess cash in your piggy bank or PayPal, please send it to me! Have Fun!

And to do that, you have to give the woman something. So when you pick up your date later, make sure you have some flowers to give her. Girls go crazy over that stuff. The more you give, the more you get! It's an exchange thing." So, the son showed up for his date with flowers. She was very flattered and pleased, and she rewarded him with a long, passionate kiss. She pressed her chest against him and rubbed her fingers through his hair,.... hoping to give him the best kiss that he had ever received. After the kiss, he turned and bolted for the door. "Oh! I'm sorry," she said. "I didn't mean to scare you away." "You didn't!" he replied. "I'll be right back. There are tons more flowers down at the cemetery, just a block away!" _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ "Hey, Sven," said Ole, "how many Swedes does it take to grease a combine?"

Thanks for your votes! ______________________________________________________ Reported by the Bausell Sailor An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Joshua Hubert, 35, Worcester, Massachusetts 7-year-old girl was asleep in grandparents' home before she was abducted, thrown off bridge by family friend The 7-year-old girl who police say was thrown off a bridge and into Lake Quinsigamond Sunday by a family friend was asleep on a chair inside her grandparent's home when she was grabbed, a prosecutor said Monday. Joshua Hubert, 35, of Worcester denied any involvement in the alleged abduction and attack on the 7-year-old girl Sunday morning. Prosecutor Cheryl Riddle said the girl was asleep in the living room at her grandparent's Forestdale Road home in Worcester when Hubert grabbed her and forced the child into his car around 2:30 a.m. Hubert was at the home attending a cookout, police said. Investigators said Hubert drove around with the girl in his car for more than an hour. At one point he stopped driving and choked the girl, police said. Eventually Hubert drove to a bridge between Worcester and Shrewsbury and threw the girl into Lake Quinsigmaond, police said. Police believe the girl was thrown from the Interstate 290 bridge based on where she ended up in Shrewsbury, but investigators are still working to confirm. The girl survived the fall, swam to shore and walked to a home nearby in Shrewsbury. "At approximately 4:30 a.m., about two hours later, a woman from Shrewsbury was awoken by knocks at her door and found the 7-year-old victim standing at her door in pajamas soaking wet," Riddle said. The girl told investigators she went to the nearest house that had lights on. The girl also identified Hubert as the man who attacked her. The girl had bruises on her body, marks on her neck and other injuries, Riddle said. She told investigators Hubert strangled her and threw her off the bridge. Hubert was arrested at the police station and arraigned on a kidnapping charge Monday in Worcester Central District Court. He is being held without bail until Thursday when he returns to court for a dangerousness hearing. More charges are expected to be filed against Hubert, the prosecutor said. _________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Louise Re: Download directories Dear Webby, There is a site I go to where I can download graphics.When I download them to downloads I can see what I have downloaded. When I go to downloads there is nothing there. Where did they disappear to? Also how would I make a new folder to put these downloads in so I can find them? I appreciate all the help you give me and others. Louise Dear Louise Windows downloads to the last location selected as a download destination, unless you tell it otherwise. Download something else, and you will see where it puts the stuff nowadays. You can also write down the name of the file you downloaded, and then do a search for it. A lot of your missing stuff will also be there. Use "SearchEverything". It is much faster than the Windows search. It will tell you the location of where that stuff is. You don't even need a complete file name, just part of it is usually enough. New folders: Use the File Explorer. Click on TOOOLS, Folder Options. Set it to use CLASSICAL mode and hit OK If necessary, click on Folders, so that it divides into 2 sections, with folders on the left and files on the right. NOW you have a useful tool. Find the root directory: (It's inconveniently hidden way down, in the My Computer icon) C:\ Highlight it. Go to the right side and Right-Click NEW Folder while "NewFolder" is still highlighted, type into it: 1down That will be your easy to find new download directory. Double-click it to go into it. Nothing there yet. Click on the icon to the left of the address bar on top, and drag it to an empty spot on the desktop, near the START button. Now you have a convenient and direct route to "1down". Right-Click in the empty space on the right side of the Explorer, where the new downloads will go, and select NEW, FOLDER. Name this folder PIX Then make one for MUSIC and one for MOVIES and one for KEEPERS. Now download something, but select as the download destination c:\1down It will show up in the folder you made, and if it is a picture, you drag it into PIX. Have FUN!
