Things I've Learned Living in Kentucky: Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air. There are 5,000 types of snakes ... and 4,998 live in Kentucky. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Kentucky, plus a couple no one's seen before. If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites. "Onced" and "twiced" are words. It is not a "shopping cart;" it's a "buggy." People actually grow and eat okra. Fixinto is one word. There is no such thing as "lunch." There is only dinner and then there is supper. Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it w

Yah, sure........good stuff, you bet'cha!! jim

A conductor became ill before a concert one evening and the orchestra had to find an emergency substitute conductor immediately. The only person in the orchestra with any conducting experience was the 2nd trombone player. He bravely and meticulously conducted the concert and it was a tremendous success. The regular conductor had recovered by the next night and was back on the job. As the trombone player took his seat in the orchestra, the 1st trombone player turned to him and said, "So, where were you last night?"

A salesman checked into a futuristic motel. Realizing he needed a haircut before his meeting tomorrow, he called down to the desk clerk to ask if there was a barber on the premises. "I'm afraid not, sir," the clerk told him apologetically, "but down the hall from your room is a vending machine that should serve your purposes." Skeptical but intrigued, the salesman located the machine, inserted $15, and stuck his head into the opening, at which time the machine started to buzz and spin. Fifteen seconds later, he pulled out his head and look in the mirror, and saw the best haircut of

Some Email programs allow you to do this without having to jump thru all those hoops. I use Eudora Pro (4.2) and I can put a group together in my address book and then reference that group in the "To" field and when it is sent, everybody just sees the group name and NOT the list of all the addresses. Your points are good and so is your advise jim

Love it!! :)

OH, I thought you were supposed to drink beer till you turned green......... My mistake!! Ha Ha........

True---you have to consider the size of your HD. Mine is 80 Gig so 3% is about 2½ Gigs of space. If I had a smaller drive, then I would probably set it for a larger amount. jim

I learned a neat tip the other day. I'm sure that a lot of you already know that you can free up some HD space by right clicking on the recycle bin and going to properties and setting the slider back to about 1 or 2% Did you also know that the System Restore can be set back, too? The default setting here is 12% and that's a lot. You can safely set that back to about 2 or 3% and save a lot of space here, too. Go to Start Menu-All Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore and then choose System Resore Settings on the left side of the page. jim

Good one!!

Took my state refund and turned it over to the feds. I had enough left over to take my wife out for dinner.....a nice one but not a fancy one. Oh well, I didn't end up having to pay in to both like some years.

Thanks to ALL of you for your input. It looks like Core FTP is the closest to the program she was using. Thanks again!!! You guys are GREAT!! jim

Thanks.. I could do it with Linux but that's not an option for daughter. She would be totally lost with the Windows FTP also. She was doing OK with WS_FTP but she's kinda like me(Cheap!!) and would rather not pay for it if she didn't have to. Any other ideas?? jim

HI all My daughter has a web site and of course, it needs to be updated from time to time. She was using WS_FTP to do this but the time has run out. Is there a GOOD FTP program out there that is freeware?? Thanks.........jim

Ya.sure......dat's why Sven, he sleeps in da garage so much. Don't 'cha know?

Three third graders from Tennessee (an Irish kid, an Italian kid and a Redneck kid) are on the play ground at recess. The Irish kid suggests that they play a new game. "Let's see who has the largest weenie," he says. "Okay." They all agree. The Italian kid pulls down his zipper and whips it out. "That's nothing," says the Irish kid. He whips his out and proudly shows that his is at least an inch longer. Not to be outdone, the Redneck kid whips his out. It is by far not only the biggest, but the fattest. That night, eating dinner at home, the Redneck kid's mother asks him

A man and his friend meet at the clubhouse and decide to play a round of golf. The man has a little dog with him, and on the first green, when he sinks a 20-foot putt, the little dog starts to yip, stands up on its hind legs and walks around in circles. Amazed, the friend says, “Wow, that dog is really talented! What does he do if you miss a putt?†“Somersaults,†the man says. “Somersaults!†the friend exclaims. “That's incredible. How many does he do?†“It all depends on how hard I kick him.â€

Good one Liz Got any of this snow yet? jr

A husband and wife came for counseling after 43 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 43 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of un-met needs she had endured over the course of their marriage. Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed h

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth. However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men, and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money. "The teacher, obviously shak

It was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibillity was almost zero when the little blonde got off work. She made her way to her car and wondered how she was going to make it home. She sat in her car while it warmed up and thought about her situation. She finally remembered her daddy's advice that if she got caught in a blizzard she should wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it. That way she would not get stuck in a snow drift. This made her feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snow plow went by and she started to follow it. As she followed the sno

Glad you liked it, Liz jr

1) FINE: This is the word women use to end an argume nt when they are right and you need to shut up. 2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. If you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house, it means two seconds. 3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "Nothing" usually end in "Fine." 4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It! 5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunder

Football FINALLY makes sense.......... A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. "Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents." Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback
