In the subway train the conversation turned to the merits and
demerits of various ways of preserving health.

One stout, florid man held forth with great eloquence on the
subject. "Look at me!" he said.  "Never a day's sickness in my
life, and all due to simple food.  Why, gentlemen," he continued,
"from the age of twenty to that of forty I lived an absolutely
simple regular life --- no effeminate delicacies, no late hours, no
extravagances.  Every day, in fact, summer and winter, I was in bed
regularly at nine o'clock and up again at five in the morning.  
I worked from eight to one, then had dinner--a plain dinner,
mark my words: after that, an hour's exercise; then.."

"Excuse me, sir," interrupted the facetious stranger in the corner,
"but what were you in prison for???"

Misty Brock, 39,
Funiak Springs,
Florida

Florida woman arrested for meth after 
claiming children are missing

A woman from DeFuniak Springs who initially claimed her two
children had been kidnapped was arrested for possession of
methamphetamine and false 911 calls after her children were found
safe and sound, according to a press release.
Misty Michelle Brock, 39, was charged with false 911 calls,
resisting an officer without violence and making a false report to
law enforcement by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. She was
additionally charged with possession of paraphernalia and
possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell.
According to JCSO, Brock called dispatch reporting that her two
children, ages two and five, had gone missing from her vehicle at
the Chevron Station on Highway 231 and that she believed they were
in a semi-truck that had just departed the area. The call triggered
a response from JSCO, along with FHP, Cottondale Police, the Bay
County Sheriff's Office and Houston County Sheriff's Office as a
BOLO (Be on the Lookout) was issued for the semi-truck.
During the course of the investigation, deputies noted that Brock
displayed several signs that she was under the influence of an
illegal substance. A review of security footage showed no children
in Brock's car. Brock was allegedly unable to provide consistent
information about her travel itinerary or even what her children
were wearing.
A JCSO Investigator traveled to the children's father's home, where
they were located and determined to have been all day. Contact had
also been made with Brock's mother who provided the same
information. When deputies tried to relay this information to Brock
she stated those children were impostors, according to the press
release.
During the investigation, several items of paraphernalia were
allegedly found in Brock's purse, along with five grams of  high
grade  methamphetamine. As she was being transported to the jail,
Brock was reportedly claiming to see her children under vehicles.

Re: MS Office or Libre Office

Dear Webby
What is the difference between MS Office and Open Office?
I have to get one of them. Which one do you recommend?
Helga

Dear Helga
The biggest diffeernce that I can see is that you can install
Open Office on a shirt pocket USB hard drive and run it
from there when you plug it into any computer's USB port.
And unlike Microsoft Office, it is free.

With MS Office you would need to buy a license and pay annual
license fees for each machine, with the free Open Office you got
everything, from settings and preferences to your documents,
spreadsheets and pictures on your portable hard drive or thumb
drive, and basically just "borrow" the keybaord and the printer and
hardware of the computer that you plug it into.

The included features are about the same. Whichever one
you learn, that's the one you will be good at, and that one
will be your preferred choice. There is no single feature
that I an think of that is available in only one of them, except
maybe the ability to create PDF files. You can do that with
Libre Office, but if you have MS Office, you need to shell
out another $450 to get Adobe Acrobat Professional to do
the same. Microsoft was going to include it, but backed off
at the last minute, when Adobe threatened to sue. Seems there
was more copying than inspiration involved.

Since you don't have either one yet, and would not have to
un-learn and trade the peculiarities of one of them for those
of the other, I would recommend Libre Office.
You can download it free at

The newly wed wife said to her husband when he returned from
work: "I have great news for you. Pretty soon we're going to
be three in this house instead of two."

The husband started glowing with happiness and kissing his
wife said: "Oh darling, I'm the happiest man in the world."

But then she said: "I'm glad that you feel that way because
tomorrow morning my mother moves in with us."

At a nursing home in Miami, Florida, a group of Senior
Citizens were sitting around talking about their ailments:
"My arms are so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee,"
said one.

"Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my
coffee," replied another.

"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck,"
said a third, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

"My blood pressure pills make me dizzy,".... another went on.

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced
an old man as he slowly shook his head. Then there was a
short moment of silence.

"Well, it's not that bad," said one woman cheerfully.
"Thank God we can all still drive."

Saving Energy When Drying Clothes
It's best to keep your dryer hot by running one load after
another. It will help maintain your dryer's heat. It consumes
the most energy while it is heating up. Clean the lint dryer
between every use and don't over dry clothing.

A woman with 14 children, ranging in age from one to
fourteen, went to court to sue her husband for divorce on
grounds of desertion.
"When did he leave you?" the judge asked.
"Thirteen years ago," the tired mother replied.
The judge was confused. "If he left thirteen
years ago, where did all these children come from?"

"Well," said the woman, "he kept coming back to
say he was sorry."
