Little Johnny went to his first school dance. He didn't know if he
would ever get up the nerve to ask a girl out to dance.
As the night went on everybody was dancing except Little Johnny. He
just sat in the corner looking at everyone having fun.
Finally as the last song started to play Little Johnny spotted two
very cute girls across the room sitting at their table. He walked
over and asked one if she would like to dance. She looked him up and
down and said "I am sorry but I am very particular with whom I dance
with."
Little Johnny being the smart boy that he is, replied, "You can dam

Utility Removes Old Java
Versions and Checks for Updates
Java is similar to Flash in that the installation
of new versions doesn't necessarily
remove the old versions.
This is a security risk because the old versions very often
contain security flaws.
Subscriber Yvon Houle has written to let me know about a
tiny free utility called JavaRa
that will check for and remove old Java JRE versions, and also check
for the availability of new versions.
I tried it and it worked like a charm. This is a simple free utility that should
be part of every user's toolkit.
It runs directly from the .exe without installation,
so it's great for your USB drive as well.

A couple had only been married for two weeks and
the husband
although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town
and party with his old buddies.
So, he said to his new wife, 'Honey, I'll be right back.'
'Where are you going, Coochy Coo?' asked the wife.
'I'm going to the bar, Pretty Face,' he answered. I'm going to have a beer.'
The wife said, 'You want a beer, my love?' She opened the door to the
refrigerator and
showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12 different countries:
Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc
The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing
that he could think of saying was,
'Yes, Lollipop... but at the bar . .. You
know...they have frozen glasses... '
He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted
him by saying, 'You wan t a frozen glass, Puppy Face?'
She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that
she was getting chills just holding it.
The husband, looking a bit pale, said, 'Yes, Tootsie Roll, but at the
bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious...
I won't be long. I'll be right back. I promise.
OK?'
'You want hors d'oeuvres, Poochie Pooh?' She opened the oven and
took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres:
chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps,
and little quiches.
'But my sweet honey... at the bar.... you know there's swearing,
dirty words and all that...'

Antro
Solo gas-electric hybrid promises 150 mpg - Engadget
While there's no word on any plans to enter it into the Automotive X-Prize,
it looks like the Antro Solo gas-electric hybrid here would at least be
able to hold its own against the competition,
with it promising to hit upwards of 150 miles per gallon on the highway.
That takes a slight dip to a still impressive 117 mpg in city driving though,
while the car's top speed clocks in at a decent 87 miles per hour. To hit those numbers,
the company took a couple of extra steps beyond the usual gas-electric hybrids,
including putting some solar cells on the car's roof to help charge the battery,
and some pedals on the inside to keep it juiced up when the sun goes down.
The fact that the entire car weighs less than 600 pounds doesn't hurt either.
As you might have guessed, however, the car is still a ways away
from rolling off the production line,
but the company says it expects to get it out the door by 2012,
when you'll supposedly be able to pick one up for $18,000.
Maintaining your car’s condition and conserving its beauty may prove to be a
Herculean task if you do not
follow simple guidelines pertaining to car care.
Do not get edgy in situations when your car groans, grunts,
reeks or comes to a halt. You can fix all these problems immediately,
and even avoid them from occurring,
by following a simple car maintenance guide. Mentioned below are few tips
that can keep your car as good as new;
and also save your time, energy and money.

Want True Love? Look in the Right

Many of us search for years if not our entire lives for love.
We're convinced--or at least hopeful--that it's out there, somewhere.
As the Waylon Jennings song laments, however, most of us are
"looking for love in all the wrong places."
Tragically, not many of us would think to look in the mirror for love.
Or, if we do consider it,
we usually dismiss self-love as mere narcissism.
We are certainly urged to do so by many of our social institutions.
The constant message: Self-love is selfish.

There are a variety of options available, so you can choose the
one that best suits your needs.
How do web browsers work?
A web browser is an application that finds and
displays web pages. It coordinates communication
between your computer and the web server
where a particular web site "lives."
When you open your browser and type in a web address (URL)
for a web
site, the browser contacts that server,
requests the web page you
asked for, and displays the page
on your computer. The browser
translates the code (written in a language such as HTML
or XML) for
the different elements of the page (text, images,
sounds) into the
appropriate format and displays the resulting page.
How many browsers are there?
There are many different browsers.
Most users are familiar with
graphical browsers, which display both text and graphics and may
also
display multimedia elements such as sound or
video clips. However,
there are also text-based browsers.

Lack
of Sleep Worsens Diabetes Control
Type 2 diabetics would do well to set a strict sleeping schedule every
night,
an Archives of Internal Medicine study warned.
Conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago, the study indicated
that diabetics who suffer from
chronic lack of sleep are less likely to exercise proper blood sugar control.
Researchers surveyed more than
160 adult males with type 2 diabetes; on average, the
men were found to sleep about six hours a night.
Less than a quarter of the men got seven hours of sleep a night,
and a meager 6% enjoyed the
recommended eight hours of shut-eye.
As number of hours of nightly sleep decreased,
researchers found that the
men's hemoglobin A1C levels tended to increase.
A1C is a known indicator of fluctuations in blood sugar.

While leading activities for seniors at a nursing home, the aide
asked the group to complete well-known phrases. For example,
she would prompt them with, "better safe" and they would respond,
"than sorry." The game proceeded as expected until she got to the
phrase "Make love, not war." She had barely gotten out the first
two words when a ninety-year- old woman shouted from the back,
"While you can!"

I called UPS about an insurance claim I had filed on a package. I
knew the automated voice response system wouldn't be able to handle
this issue so I immediately said, "customer service."
It did a little beep-boop-bop computing noise, and then insisted
that I first pick from its menu, none of which items bore any
resemblanceto insurance claims. I tried "track a package." It
recited the status, followed by "Can I help you with anything
else?" I said, more insistently, "customer service," at
which it complained that that was the most recent shipping
information. Exasperated--but a bit curious--I said, "Damn you,"
and after the little computing noise, it swiftly transferred me
to customer service.

As a young married couple, a husband and wife lived in a cheap
housing complex near the military base where he was working. Their
chief complaint was that the walls were paper thin and they had no
privacy. That was painfully obvious one morning when the husband
was upstairs and the wife was downstairs on the telephone. She was
interrupted by the doorbell and went to greet her neighbor. "Give
this to your husband," he said, thrusting a roll of toilet paper
into her hands. "He's been yelling for it for 15 minutes!"

The math on the Paul McCartney-Heather Mills divorce. After 5
years of marriage, he paid her $49 million. Assuming he banged her
every night during their 5 year relationship, it ends up costing
him $26,849 per lay, not counting attorney's fees and court costs.
On the other hand, Elliot Spitzer's call girl Kristen charges
$4,000 an hour. Crazy, right? But... Had Paul McCartney employed
Kristen for 5 years, he would've paid $7.3 million for an hour of
sex every night for 5 years (a savings of $41+million).
Value-added benefits are: a 22 year old hot babe, no begging, no
coaxing, never a headache, wide open menu, ability to put BOTH legs
around you, no bitching and complaining or "to do" lists. Best of
all, she leaves when you're done, and comes back the next day,
ready for another round. All at 1/7th the cost, with no legal fees.
Is it just me, or is it better to rent? : )

Painting Concrete Floors - How to Paint a Concrete Floor
Concrete is a mixture of various ingredients used mainly for construction and
other building processes.
Concrete is the highest used man-made material in the world and when
mixed with steel or fiber reinforcements,
may be
the strongest building material used.
Though concrete is a very strong and dependable building material,
it may seem drab and colorless when used
for building processes like floors and walls. Generally, there are many manufacturing facilities,
warehouses, homes,
and other constructions which have concrete floors.
These floors require some type of concrete floor coating.
Painting concrete floors is a traditional way of making concrete
floors look eye-catching and
protecting them from other natural forces.

7th Heaven
by James Patterson
"At the start of the gripping seventh Women's Murder Club thriller from
bestseller Patterson and
Paetro (after 2007's The 6th Target), San Francisco is still haunted by the
disappearance of Michael Campion,
the much-adored teenage son of a former California governor,
three months earlier.
Following up on a tip that Michael was last seen entering a prostitute's house,
homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer
and her new partner, Rich Conklin, are shocked when the hooker
immediately confesses that Michael,
who had a heart defect, died during sex and she disposed of his body.
Lindsay's ADA pal,
Yuki Castellano, is sure she has a slam-dunk case,
but the trial soon takes a bizarre turn.
Lindsay and Rich also scramble to track down a serial arsonist responsible
for murdering a string of wealthy couples.
Lindsay races to put the pieces together before the fires hit too close to home.
In true Patterson style,
the reader is privy to Lindsay's thoughts as well as the killers',
ratcheting up the suspense an extra notch.
Fans won't be disappointed with the twist at the end that not even
Lindsay sees coming"

Emily’s Pearls Still Shine in the 21st Century
Emily Dickinson wrote no epics or stage plays, and her poems did not
partake in public life in her own
century (the 19th) — yet more than a few of her readers in later years have
been struck by the penetrating
commentary on events of their own current day offered in her short lyrics.
The most recent essay marveling on the powerful “contemporariness”
of Miss Dickinson’s 200-year-old
lines is in the current issue of Boston Review:

A woman living
in a rural area wanted to have an outhouse that
wouldn't stink. She advertised it in the local papers for a contractor
that could build such a structure. After some time, a contractor
applied for the job and guaranteed that the outhouse would not have
any odor. He got the job. Sometime after completing the construction,
the man got a frantic call from the woman, "You'd better get here
fast! That outhouse has a terrible smell!" He rushed over, went to
the
outhouse, poked his head through the door and exclaimed, "No wonder
it
stinks! You shit in it!"

In the last few weeks, both John McCain’s and
Barack Obama’s physicians declared
they were
giving their patients "clean bills of
health,"
signifying that the candidate was
likely to
survive a run at the Presidency, and
possibly
a few years in office. Obviously, there are
a
few things that would prevent a candidate
from
getting such a medically laudacious
report.
The Top 9 Signs Your Candidate Is Not
Going
to Get a "Clean Bill of
Health"
9> Are you kidding? Anyone who runs for president of this country
should automatically be admitted for psychiatric testing!
8> Her flip-flopping makes for a pretty darned high risk of
wringing her own neck.
7> Every time he coughs, he sounds like a Mack truck backfiring.
6> There's a bright light above him and dead relatives are waving him up.
5> She keeps telling her doctor she'll propose lifting all caps
on malpractice lawsuits.
4> At the rate this guy keeps putting his foot in his mouth,
he'll either choke or get terminal athlete's foot of the tonsils.
3> He stays at budget hotels and uses the local call girls.
2> His stance in the men's room? Way too wide.

Number 1 Sign Your
Candidate Is Not
Going to Get
a
"Clean Bill of Health”...

My friend
Allison adopted a stray cat and took him to the vet to be
neutered. "I'm about 90 percent certain he's been fixed," the vet
said.
"How can I be 100 percent?" Allison asked.
"Watch to see if he does any 'male' things."
"He already lies on the couch all day," she said. "If he starts
hogging the
remote, I'll bring him in."

This young
couple have been trying to have a baby. After six months
they complain to the doctor that they just aren't having any luck.
"What position are you in when you ejaculate?" the physician
asks
Frank, the husband. "What's 'ejaculate'?" asks Frank. "Well,
uh,
that's when you climax and semen is emitted," explained the doctor
patiently. The young man looks puzzled for a few moments then asks,
"Do you mean the gooey white stuff? Well, my little honey says it's
icky... so I shoot it into the pillow."

A MOTHER'S RESOLUTIONS
1. When I forget to go to the grocery store, I will not boil the macaroni
necklaces my children made for me in preschool.
2. When I hear one of my children wake in the middle of the night, I will run
upstairs to supervise before he relieves himself in the sink and then creeps
into the bathtub to return to sleep.
3. I will pack the kids' lunch boxes the night before so I don't throw in a
slab of frozen lasagna as they're running for the bus. "It'll defrost by
lunch. If not, you can suck it like an ice pop."
4. I will resist the urge to explain to strangers why my son is wearing winter
boots, a bathing suit bottom, and an inside-out and backward pajama top. I
will be grateful that he is able to dress himself.
5. I will not tell my children that the Play-Doh dried up just because I don't
feel like cleaning up after they use it, even though I know it means I'll
spend the evening harvesting the colored stuff from the carpet fibers, chair
cushions and the dog's fur.
6. I will always protect the rights of my children, especially their right to
remain silent.
7. I will learn to accept the outbursts and tantrums as a part of life. After
all, I promised to love my husband for better or worse.
8. When my husband and I go to a restaurant without the kids, I will not roll
up his sleeves or move the knives from his reach. I will not accompany him to
the bathroom and remind him to wash his hands with soap. If my husband wants
dessert at the end of the meal, I will not tell him it depends on his behavior.
9. When I'm tired of hearing "mommieeeeee!" a thousand times each
day, I will
resist changing my name to "Please pass the spinach" or "TV is
boring, I'd
rather read."
10. I will develop an ability to have a conversation with an adult that
doesn't revolve around labor pains or children's toilet habits. I will feel
comfortable in the silence that ensues when neither of us can think of any
other topic to discuss or remember we can always discuss the weather.
11. I will be more flexible about children's nutritional requirements by
counting the ketchup and green crayon as vegetables.
12. When my children beg for a pet, I will buy them each a hutch for the dust
bunnies that have multiplied under their beds. I will let them name each dust
bunny.
13. I will count how often I repeat the phrase "You'd better listen
because I
will not repeat myself", until my children actually notice that I have
spoken.
I will not raise my voice until I have said it at least that many times.
14. When my kids are older (at least 50), I will explain why they never have
any chocolate candy left after Mommy and Daddy "check" their
Halloween bags.
15. I will be a good, fair and loving parent to my children. I will provide
them with enriching experiences and opportunities. I will give them a solid
foundation on which to build a useful life. After all, they may eventually be
responsible for choosing a nursing home for me to live out my final days.

musical chairs for residents. The Fifth
Years
are gone, and we have a whole new crop of

10> All the sobbing and sniffling, pointing and giggling.

Don't worry, we'll scrape it off.
7> He keeps reflexively calling the second-years "Doctor."
6> Betting is getting fierce on the patient Dead Pool.
5> The entire practical joke book section at Barnes & Noble has
been bought out by nurses.
4> Firmly believes that tubing urine samples to the lab 35 times
a shift is "real medicine."
3> They keep asking the doctors questions about medical stuff.
Eventually they'll learn to ask the nurses, but it takes a few
weeks.
2> Spends the day chasing the chief of surgery, trying to locate
a left-handed Foley and a bag of Nor Malsaline.
and the Number 1 Sign It's Your Residents' First Day...

The Top 10 Signs Your Fiancé Is Going to Run Away
10> The groom just discovered Daddy's shotgun is unloaded.

Weddings." She's reading "An Idiot's Guide to Faking
Your Death."

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of
children while they were drawing. She would occasionally
walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently,
she asked what the drawing was.
The girl: replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher: paused and said, "But no one knows what God
looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing,
the girl: replied, "They will in a minute."
