"We're going to a wedding," my wife said. "Are you carrying any weapons -- knives, guns?" he asked. "No," she said. "It's not that kind of wedding." _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ After a lady's car had leaked motor oil on her cement driveway, she bought a large sack of cat litter to soak it up. It worked so well, that she went back to the convenience store to get another bag to finish the job. The clerk remembered her. Looking thoughtfully at her purchase, he said, "Lady, if that were my cat, I'd put him outside!" ______________________________________________________   Minot's Lighthouse, Massachusetts _____________________________________________________

 From: Larry Re: Thunderbird versus Incredimail  Dear Webby I am using Incredimail xe as my email provider. I am wondering if Thunderbird would be a better profider. Can i transfer my email addresses to it. any info would be very helpful. Sincerely. Larry  Dear Larry Neither Incredimail nor Thunderbird are email PROVIDERS. They are email programs. You still need an email provider, either your local ISP or Gmail or AOL or any outfit like that. Once you have signed up with an email provider, then you can choose which email program you want to use. If you travel a lot, choose Gmail as your provider. It works from anywhere in the world. Once you have a decent provider, then you can select the email program. You can definitely choose Incredimail, even though you will annoy the recipients with the goofy attachments. Gmail is very popular, and you can set it to be POP mail. Then you can handle it with anything from Eudora to Thunderbird. I still use Eudora. It works reliably. No problem since 1993. If you keep your mail boxes trimmed down, you can even use Outlook. Just don't allow them to get too large, or it will suicide and take all your mails with it. Have FUN! DearWebby

 The new bride had spent two hours preparing pumpkin pie for their first Thanksgiving dinner together. During desert, she watched her husband slowly savor each forkful. "How was it, Honey?" she asked when he'd finished. "Well," he began thoughtfully, wiping his lips, "you probably could have beaten the eggshells a little longer. But on the whole, it was a good start." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Buying Big Ticket Items  Between Christmas and New Years is a good time to buy big ticket items like cars.

She spent an afternoon filling out applications, leaving them on the kitchen table to finish later. As I walked by, a section of the application on top jumped out at me. Under "Previous Employment" she wrote, "Baby sitting." In answer to "Reason for Leaving" she wrote, "Parents came home." ___________________________________________________
