The only place open was a bar and grill down the street. When Mom walked in, the bartender asked her what she'd like. "I need a coathanger," she replied.

Unable to get inside, the defeated duo took off, without any money. Thats an astute employee, Miami Police Detective Kenia Fallat said. He took a chance and ran to the door. He did the right thing. A day after last Fridays attempted heist, one of the men who told police he was concerned after seeing bank surveillance video of himself on television turned himself in. On Tuesday, his buddy did the same. Franklin Yamill Cuevas, 32, was charged with armed robbery with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm in public. His buddy Kevin Alberto Reyes, 25, was charged as an accessory after the fact. Cuevas remained in jail Wednesday without bond. Police say it was just before 6 p.m. March 18 when Reyes parked his red, four-door Nissan Altima in front of Regions Bank at 2800 NW Seventh St. Then, police said, Reyes got out of the car, walked through its glassed-encased ATM foyer and opened the banks front door to make sure it wasnt locked. At the same time, the affidavit says, Cuevas walked outside the ATM entrance and pulled out a semi-automatic pistol, inserted a magazine, cocked the gun, and shot three times in the air while standing by the door of the bank. While firing his weapon, police said, Cuevas screamed, This is a robbery, mother... It scared the employees and customers enough to dive for cover, police said. But one worker leaped into quick action, locking the banks front door while Cuevas was going gangster outside. Stunned the door wouldnt open, police said Cuevas backpedaled and jumped into the Altima while Reyes gunned the engine and took off. Reyes would later explain to police that he was out drinking with Cuevas before they headed to the bank. It was only after Cuevas got out of the car, Reyes said, that he heard the gunshots. Police said Reyes told them he was unaware Cuevas had a weapon. But he did drive off with him after, an officer wrote in Reyes arrest affidavit. Reyes also didnt attempt to contact police until he saw his picture on television. ______________________________________________________ Tech Support Pits From: Donna Re: Spreadsheet recovery Dear Webby I love Open Office....it crashed with a spread sheet open the other day...and although it can recover it, it has to "recover" it every time I try and open it. It's always the same, regardless of what spreadsheet I try and open -- the first time the recovery fails, the second time it is successful. I even upgraded to the newest version of Open Office this morning thinking maybe Open Office was corrupt, but the problem persists. A friend opening the same spreadsheet (shared in a group) doesn't get the message. Any ideas, oh great computer guru friend of mine? Donna Dear Donna Save it under a new name. Excel does the same. Just save it under a new name, and then later save it back with the old name. That usually fixes that common spreadsheet bug. Have FUN!

She tells me that if you are taken to the hospital, it is very difficult to reconstruct a list of medicines for the patient. One never knows if they will be in an auto accident or suffer a stroke or other episode and not be able to speak for themselves. I keep my list on my computer so it is easy to update and to print out, but handwritten is good too. I also list non prescription items my doctors want me to have. Men can make a list to keep in their wallet. That way every time you leave your house you will have it with you. Source: My physician Don't forget your home! EMTs are trained to expect to see that list on your fridge. That way they instantly know about heart or diabetes or allergy conditions, instead of having to guess why you are on the floor making weird gestures. It doesn't have to be a big print, a post-it note size is enough. That can save your life. A month after my heart failure a few years ago friend once called the EMTs on me, when I didn't respond to her Skype messages because I was busy mopping the floors. They came storming in like a SWAT team, and ran to the fridge to look for my medication list. Luckily I do have one pinned up with a fridge magnet. Once they saw me mopping the floor they relaxed, but they pointed to the list and said they wished everybody had one pinned up on the fridge. Have FUN!

A cub reporter, in commenting on the speech, ended his piece with the following: "The minister told a number of stories that cannot be printed here." ___________________________________________________ | baby elephant tries to figure out his trunk | ____________________________________________________ >From Karla I was recovering from surgery when a charity representative phoned asking me to take part in a door-to-door fund-raising effort. "Sorry," I replied, "but I've been incapacitated." Undaunted, the caller kept trying to convince me to change my mind and volunteer. I interrupted and said, "I'm incapacitated. Do you know what that means?" She hesitated. "It means your head was cut off?" -------------- Reminds me of the time I told a telemarketer that the reason I was not interested in her long distance scam was because I didn't have a phone.
