Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ Reported by the Bausell Sailor: An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Camille Wasinger-Konrad, 25, Highland Ranch, Colorado Colorado mom found guilty of smothering newborn baby & throwing her over fence A Colorado mother accused of smothering her newborn baby daughter and throwing her over a fence into a neighbor's yard has been found guilty of first-degree murder. Camille Wasinger-Konrad, 25, of Highland Ranch was on Tuesday found guilty of premeditated murder, murder by a person in position of trust and tampering with evidence, the Denver Post reported. he woman's conviction follows Wasinger-Konrad giving birth in her bedroom in January 2018. From there it was alleged the mother covering the baby's nose and mouth, carrying the child outside and throwing her into a neighbor's yard. Wasinger-Konrad returned to her bedroom, leaving the baby for dead. Temperatures at the time were recorded at being 23 Fahrenheit (-5 Celsius). A witness called 911 later that evening and reported seeing what appeared to be a lifeless infant in the backyard of a home on the 500 block of Longfellow Lane. The child was observed still attached to its umbilical cord. 'This tiny baby was smothered by her mother, flung over a neighbor's fence and left to die by the only human she had ever known,' Chief Deputy District Attorney Christopher Gallo said in court. Investigators and prosecutors countered- claiming Wasinger-Konrad is a liar and manipulator who had admitted to spending 10 minutes deciding how she would dispose of her baby. Wasinger-Konrad is scheduled to be sentenced in November with the mandatory sentence being life without parole. Colorado has a Safe Haven Law, which would have allowed Wasinger- Konrad to leave her baby at a police station, fire or medical center no questions asked as long as the baby is not harmed. It remained unclear why the woman chose not to use the resource. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Jean Re: Foam on microphone Dear Webby, I had always been wondering what the foam blob on my head set microphone was about. A few days ago my doggie chewed it off, and since then everybody has asked me if I got new teeth. What's the story, and will any other foam work? Jean Dear Jean The foam accomplishes the same thing as an expensive electronic "spit filter", it takes the excessive hiss and pop off the T's, TH's, P's and S's, and makes a cheap mike sound as good as an expensive one. The good news is that any open cell foam will work. Open cell means you can blow through it. The foam chips used in pillows work fine. Poke a hole into one, stick the microphone into it and try it. You can trim the foam chip with scissors to make it look better and also to sculpt the sound. Usually you want more damping on the side away from you, to cut the background noise, but for meetings you want the opposite, so you dampen your voice the most, and the voices farther away the least. For a softer voice, wash the foam together with clothes a few times. For a crisp command voice, spray it with varnish, spray-on starch or canvas sizing. Have FUN!

Looking in her purse, she commented, "Hmmm.... That's funny. When I lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills." The boy quickly replied, "That's right, lady. The last time I found a lady's purse, she didn't have any change for a reward." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
After putting her children to bed, a mother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse, put the green mud-pack on her face, the teeth-whitening cartridge in her mouth and proceeded to wash her hair and stick curlers into it. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At last she threw a towel over her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard her three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was that monfter ?" ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Baking Soda in Your Clothes Hamper Pour a little baking soda into the bottom of your hamper to help keep your dirty clothes smelling fresh.

___________________________________________________ Jimmie and Johnnie were spending the night at their grandparents. At bedtime, the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the younger one began praying at the top of his lungs, "I PRAY FOR A NEW BICYCLE. I PRAY FOR A NEW NINTENDO. I PRAY FOR A NEW ..." His older brother leaned over and nudged the younger brother and said, "Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn't deaf." To which the little brother replied, "I know, but Gramma is!" ___________________________________________________ When I was working as a clerk at a sporting-goods store, a woman came up to my register with a package of white athletic socks. "Will you open this up so I can see how the socks feel?" she asked. Reluctantly I tore open the package, and she scrutinized the merchandise. She handed me the package, saying, "I'll take them." Relieved, I started to ring her up, until she interrupted me. "Can I have another pack? This one's been opened." ___________________________________________________ We were studying Christmas customs from around the world. It was an ideal opportunity to share the Christmas story. I explained that Mary and Joseph had gone to Bethlehem to pay taxes. It was time for the baby Jesus to be born and they needed somewhere to spend the night. I told my students that when they went to the inn, there were no empty rooms. I compared the inn to a modern-day hotel or motel. I was leading up to the stable when I asked, "What do you suppose they had behind the inn?" One little guy, who had been listening intently, began to frantically wave his hand. His face was alight with knowledge. "A swimming pool." __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups. Read it on-line or subscribe.
