Am I ever tried!" Her husband looked over at her and said, "I had to conduct two special services last night, three today, and give a total of five sermons. Why are you so tired?" "Dearest," she replied, "I had to listen to all that BS!" ____________________________________________________ A math teacher is instructing her class in multiplication and gives the students a problem to solve. "Now class," she says. "We know there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. So who can tell me how many seconds there are in a year?" All the kids look baffled by the question except one little fellow sitting in the back row. He raises his hand and waves it excitedly, and the teacher points to him. "All right, how many seconds are there in a year?" the teacher asks. "Twelve, ma'am," the little fellow says brightly. "January second, February second, March second ..."

Shannon Marie OConnor, aka, Shannon Bruga, 47, who now lives in Eagle, Idaho, bought vodka and Fireball whiskey, provided condoms, and told the teens not to tell their parents about the parties she threw while living in Los Gatos, according to the court documents. During one of these parties, a girl told investigators that she almost drowned in a hot tub because of how drunk she was, court records allege. At an October 2020 party at a Santa Cruz cottage that she threw for her sons 15th birthday attended by a dozen teen boys and girls the event got so out of hand, there were $9,000 in damage, prosecutors allege.

Where do I get it and how much does it cost? Jen Dear Jen try http://skype.com Microsoft bought it for 8.5 Billion dollars to prevent Google from getting it. It is free, and they will never make that money back, but they are happy that Google did not get it. Microsoft of course messed with it, like they do with every program, but it still works almost as well as it used to before they bought it. Google created Google Hangouts, which is slightly better quality, but Skype has Billions of users. Hangouts has a few hundred, and is pretty well sidelined. Better quality is meaningless when your contacts don't use it. ZOOM has bypassed Hangouts. ZOOM has great quality, and lets you share screens and even pull in your spreadsheets to illustrate what you are talking about. My Diabetic nurse loves it and pulls in my A1c and the data from the continuous monitor and yells at me for "sinning" last Wednesday evening. Skype is great for simple messaging and simple video chats like I did with my dad for almost 20 years. He saw me doing that in the evenings during our annual cactus safaris, but claimed it was too complicated for him. Then he saw it on TV, how some grannie videod with a grand son. Next day he bought a camera and that evening we did video instead of just voice. We kept doing that daily for about five minutes until a month before he died at the end of June. Go for it! It is free for personal use. Have FUN! DearWebby | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,
