DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Bill Re: Yahoo Mail problem  DearWebby, I have been a regular Dear Webby fan for several years now - as of today, 9/3 - everything comes up but the letter -- I have no idea why, nor what to do about it - nothing has changed that I am aware of in the configuation of the computer -- I had to have it stripped recently and re-installed, then I re=installed avast!, I have tried to re-install my Skype line, and it does not let me sign on - so something is amiss - but I wasstill getting your mail just fine through Sunday - did not look at the mail yesterday, but both monday and tuesday were blank. Thanks Bill  Dear Bill Have you ever overheard people calling you "that silly yahoo" and snicker behind your back? Pretending that sbcglobal is not yahoo is not helping you. You received your Humor Letter quite OK, but because of a screw-up in the current Yahoo system, they won't let you see it until you hit REPLY. They want to make it look to others as if you got proper mail. As I have told thousands of yahoos, you have a choice: Either hit REPLY or FORWAD and threaten to show others how messed up Yahoo is or get some decent email service. Re Skype: I used the Google search in the top of the Humor Letter that you replied with. It worked fine, proving that you did get it 100% OK. Well, anyway, there is no mention anywhere of anything related to the new Yahoo interfering with Skype. Most likely the problem is a security setting in your Avast. I am not familiar with Avast, but most likely you will find a way to OK Skype and allow it. I have used Skype since the late 90s and have never come across that problem. Have FUN! DearWebby

 President Calvin Coolidge, who was notorious for his reluctance to talk. One Sunday he went to church by himself, and when he returned to the White House, his wife asked, "Was the sermon good?" "Yes," the President told her. "What was it about?" she asked. "Sin." "What did the minister say?" "He seems to be against it."

 The children begged for a hamster, and after the usual fervent vows that they alone would care for it, they got one. They named it Danny. Two months later, when Mom found herself responsible for cleaning and feeding the creature, she located a prospective new home for it. The children took the news of Danny's imminent departure quite well, though one of them remarked, "He's been around here a long time. We'll miss him." "Yes," Mom replied, "But he's too much work for one person, and since I'm that one person, I say he goes." Another child offered, "Well, maybe if he wouldn't eat so much and wouldn't be so messy, we could keep him." But Mom was firm. "It's time to take Danny to his new home now," she insisted. "Go and get his cage." With one voice and in tearful outrage the children shouted, "Danny? NOT DANNY! We thought you said Daddy!" ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Protecting Your Home When Traveling When you are on vacation, your home is susceptible to burglary.

Happy hour aboard an abandoned US military airplane in the Costa Rican jungle. 
 ___________________________________________________ >From Tom With some misgivings, we left a young babysitter in charge of our three energetic youngsters. When we returned a few hours later, she was sitting alone watching TV. I went to check on the children and found them in our narrow hallway. By bracing their arms and legs against the walls, two of them had climbed up to the ceiling. "The babysitter taught us how," they said gleefully. The sitter joined me, her face a deep red. "Since they had me climbing the walls, I figured they might as well be too," she stammered. We kept the same girl for the next two years. ___________________________________________________ As the boss was leaving the office to play golf, he instructed his secretary to tell all callers that he was away from his desk. Shortly after he left, a member of his foursome called to find out which course they were playing that day. The loyal girl would only reply that her boss was away from his desk. "Just tell me," the golfer persisted, "is he five miles away from his desk, twenty miles away from his desk, or thirty miles away from his desk?" ___________________________________________________

 A lady went into the grocery and asked for fifty gallons of milk. The clerk, amazed, asked her what she was going to do with that much milk. "I have a skin problem and the doctor prescribed a milk bath." The clerk asked, "Pasteurized?" She replied: "No just up to my chin." ___________________________________________________
