Good Morning, Do! Today is Thursday, January 30 Voting is STILL NOT repaired. You can vote, if you register, but not if you try to vote with the email confirmation request. Try writing to them. They seem to have me blocked because of my red hat or because I am not a Women's Libber, or are not able to respond to me. Their addresses are: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Write to one and CC to the others. I got Ophelia to try and vote with her email address. She did not get a confirmation request either. Neither did anybody else I asked. Their own Daily Thrifty Tips seems to get all their staff votes OK. Normally Ophelia gets a bit more than twice that from her fans. Just 3 votes more than Daily Thrifty Tips is most definitely an indication of something badly broken. They are Mac users, so please try to be diplomatic when you write to them. ___________________________________________________ Today, January 30 in 1847 The town of Yerba Buena was renamed San Francisco. ______________________________________________________ | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

It's something to do. --- Ronnie Shakes __________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! __________________________________________ My friend Ann and I were eating at a Chinese restaurant. When an elderly waiter set chopsticks at our places, Ann made a point of reaching into her purse and pulling out her own pair. "As an environmentalist," she declared, "I do not approve of destroying bamboo forests for throwaway utensils." The waiter inspected her chopsticks. "Velly bootiful," he said politely. "Ivoly from sca-ace, endange-ad animahs, instead of fahm gwown choptick wood. In old time ony litch sumbitch bigshot use ivoly choptick to make shua wood was not poisoned." ________________________________________________` Gimpel ____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Daniel Aldrich, 62, Sugar Grove, Illinois Sugar Grove Shool Bus driver Sentenced to 20 Years in Child Porn Cases A Sugar Grove man, who was a former Sandwich CUSD #430 school bus driver, was sentenced to 20 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections on Tuesday after a plea deal was accepted for various child pornography related offenses in Kendall County. Kendall County Court and booking records show that 62 year-old Daniel Aldrich of Mallard Ln. pleaded guilty to six counts in total. The counts ranged from more serious Class X felony Child Porn offenses to lesser felonies. The charges Aldrich pleaded guilty to were from 2018 and 2019 cases with some of the offenses to be served consecutively and others concurrently. Of the 20-year sentence, Aldrich will be required to serve at least 50 percent or 10 years. He is also required to serve a minimum of three years on parole after serving the sentence for the Class X felonies. Aldrich receives credit for nine days served in the Kendall County Jail. As WSPY previously reported, Aldrich, previously of Sandra Ct. in unincorporated Sandwich, was charged in March of 2019 with 24 additional counts of Child Porn related charges after Kendall County Sheriff's Office officials said that a large amount of, "surreptitiously recorded video of children," who were acquaintances of Aldrich, was located. Multiple search warrants allegedly uncovered the child pornography. Prosecutors alleged that Aldrich took videos and photographs of naked minor girls, including filming some minors and others changing in the bathroom of his Sandwich home. Aldrich had already been charged in October of 2018 with seven counts of Child Pornography Possession and Child Pornography Dissemination. Authorities had said the incidents stemmed from 2016, 2017 and 2018. An investigation first began in July of 2018 after information was received, based on a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. All of the victims involved in the videos and photographs Aldrich took were identified and located. Sandwich School District #430 Supt. Rick Schmitt had said that Aldrich was a school bus driver for the district and was placed on unpaid administrative leave after charges were brought forth in 2018. Aldrich resigned shortly thereafter. Kendall County Asst. State's Attorney Frank Gorup prosecuted the cases. He told WSPY that the victims were known to Aldrich but none were students in the district nor were they believed to be associated with Aldrich's former job as a bus driver.

___________________________________________________ Making a Custom Bottle Washer By Sandi/Poor But Proud I freeze my half and half, plus I make flavored water. When the bottles need washing, it's hard to get them clean. I got the smallest bottle washer I could afford, at the Dollar Tree. But it was made more for cups and glasses. So I grabbed my scissors and cut the little foam strips down to almost nothing. It didn't have to look great, just work great. Now I can get more than just soap and water in them. If you get the old-fashioned ones, that have stiff wire twisted instead of a plastic stem to the handle, you can cut that just below the wooden handle, and stick that into a small, light-weight rechargeable drill, like you get for subscribing to some magazines. Squeeze the trigger before inserting the wand, and it will wiggle in even if it is too big. Then, once it is inside, give it 2-3 seconds of full speed. Your bottles have never been that clean! When done, set it back on the charger. Have FUN! DearWebby Thriftyfun.com also has a newsletter.

She was searching the isles for a special product that had come on the market. It was similar to the toilet paper but these special wipes provided an aloe vera coating that soothed after wiping. Anyway, the old woman could hardly see. She was searching through the spices and more section, thinking that the wipes were found there. Picking up a yellow box, she squinted at its name. "Yep," she said, "these must be them." Making her way to the register, she paid for them and went home. Later, that afternoon, she tried the wipes and found them satisfactory. Her oldest son came home that day and found the box she had bought in the bathroom. Thinking that his mother must have been mistaken and placed them in the bathroom by accident, he took the box into the kitchen. Seeing the box on the counter, she said, "Son, these belong in the bathroom. These are special wipes and they don't belong here. They're called "Butt-A-Wipes". Shaking his head, he gently informed his mother. "No, Mother, these aren't those kind of wipes. These are wipes for basting chicken and turkeys. These are called "Butter Wipes", and they are certainly not used for that!" The old woman blanched, realizing that she had made a mistake. "Well," she said, "they did leave me squeaky clean!" ___________________________________________________ A man who had just undergone a very complicated operation kept complaining about a bump on his head and a terrible headache. Since his operation had been an intestinal one, there was no earthly reason why he should be complaining of a headache. Finally his nurse, fearing that the man might be suffering from some post-operative shock, spoke to the doctor about it. The doctor assured the nurse, "Don't worry about a thing. He really does have a bump on his head. About halfway through the operation we ran out of anesthetic and had to gong him with the fire extinguisher." ___________________________________________________ Wanting to lose weight, a woman placed a picture of a shapely, pin-up model in her refrigerator to remind her of her goal. The reminder worked like a charm as the woman discovered that she had lost ten pounds in the first month of using this method. The downside to this was that her husband spent so much time going into the fridge to look at the picture that he ended up gaining fifteen pounds! __________________________________________________ | No sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
