Are you sure you saw my client commit this crime?" "Yes" says Sam, "I saw him do it." Then the lawyer asks Sam, "Sam listen, you are 80 years old and your eyesight probably is bad. Just how far can you see at night?" Sam says, "I can see the moon, how far is that?" __________________________________________________ Toward the end of our senior year in high school, we were required to take a CPR course. The classes used the well known mannequin victim, Rescue Anne, to practice. My group's model was legless to allow for storage in a carrying case. The class went off in groups to practice. As instructed, one of my classmates gently shook the doll and asked "Are you all right?" He then put his ear over the mannequin's mouth to listen for breathing. Suddenly he turned to the instructor and exclaimed, "She said she can't feel her legs!" __________________________________________________ A high-priced call girl brings a customer to her fancy apartment.

A North Dakota lawyer allegedly beat his ex-wife to death in Minnesota on Tuesday as she clung to the youngest of their five children and two others screamed for help, according to the Marshall County Sheriffs Office. The younger boy, 2, was so traumatized he didnt respond to questions from deputies after they had his father in custody and rushed his mother to the hospital. Anders Odegaard, 31, and Carissa Odegaard, also 31, divorced last year, court records show. In a custody dispute this week, he allegedly refused to let her take their kids to church and a fight broke out, deputies wrote in the criminal complaint after interviewing the children. Two of their boys ran outside, flagged a stranger and begged him to call 911 "because their mom was bleeding really bad and needed help," according to the complaint. The first responding deputy found Anders Odegaard in the kitchen wearing just his underwear, with blood on his face and in his hair. Carissa Odegaard was unresponsive lying in a doorway with a pool of blood around her head. The deputy asked him to explain the situation. "I dont feel right," Odegaard replied, according to the complaint. The deputy found that Carissa Odegaard was not breathing. He cuffed the ex-husband and attempted CPR on the victim. He noticed "severe head trauma" and called for an ambulance. The 9-year-old boy told investigators he saw his father strike his mother with a knife or spatula in the head moments before he ran outside and found someone to call 911, according to authorities. He also told deputies hed seen his father hit is mother before. Three brothers, ages 9, 8 and 2, were inside during the attack. Two other siblings were outside in their moms car and were spared the horror, according to the complaint. The 8-year-old told investigators that after beating his mother to the floor, his father "was on top of her choking her." "There was blood all over," he told deputies, and when he tapped his mothers foot, she didnt respond to the touch. Court records show the Odegaards married in May 2011 and officially divorced on Sept. 16, 2021, on the grounds that their marriage was "irretrievably broken." The slaying comes just days before the ex-couple was due in court for a review hearing. The parents were granted shared legal custody, but the court gave Carissa Odegaard physical custody. Legal custody, under Minnesota law, means the right to be involved in "major decisions determining the childs upbringing." Physical custody means "routine daily care and control of the residence." alizing their divorce last year, was described as the Mercer County States Attorney in North Dakota. Marshall County Attorney Donald Aandal told Fox News Digital he did not want to go into detail about the case, citing the active investigation, but said Odegaards full work history was not readily clear and that hed switched careers several times. According to the Mercer County State's Attorney's Office, Odegaard held the job for three months, from June to September 2021, before being fired. He spent three months as a public defender in Stark County, North Dakota, and was fired again. After another brief stint at a private practice, he moved back to Minnesota. Odegaard faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison if convicted on the second-degree murder charge. Prosecutors are also seeking aggravated charges because "the victim was treated with particular cruelty" and because there were multiple child witnesses. He made his first court appearance Thursday and was ordered held on $5 million bond without conditions, $2,500,000 surety bond or $250,000 cash. Carissa Odegaard was pronounced brain-dead at Sanford Hospital in Fargo, North Dakota, on Aug. 24. She was being kept on life support until her organs could be donated. It's too bad they don't have executions in Minnesota. _____________________________________________________ Shelly Lynn Hachey-O'Donnell Coyote pups, Calgary __________________________________________________ A high-priced call girl brings a customer to her fancy apartment.

Plugged the mouse into my HP laptop and although I can move the cursor around when I click on anything -- nothing happens. Any ideas or suggestions? Sure would be helpful as I enjoy the physical keyboard from my desktop better than the incorporated one on the laptop Keep up the funnies, helps and thanks for all you do to try and keep us sane Cheers, Gwen color> Dear Gwen Microsoft Mouse Center DELL does not make mice any more than Walmat makes them. They are just the Microsoft owned "Walmart" of the computer world. If your mouse is a Microsoft mouse, the Mouse center will allow you to set all 7 buttons. If it is not a Microsoft mouse, then it will play stupid. In that case, you need the driver from that mouse's manufacturer. If nexessary, chat with the DELL support. Logitech has their options at ca/software/options.html">Logitech Options Their support is slow and lazy, but with some persistence you CAN get through and get a driver for your mouse. Theoretically the mouse came with a driver on a CD, but that has probably long been lost or converted to a coaster for your coffee cup. So you will just have to contact the maker of the mouse for the driver. HaveFUN!
