The owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, 'You graduated from the University of Tennessee and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?'

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, 'Everything but my earrings.'


Alabama

A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in two's for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. 'Where's Henry?' the others asked.

'Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail,' the successful hunter replied.

'You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?' they inquired.

'A tough call,' nodded the hunter. 'But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!'


Texas

The sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The sheriff asked, 'Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head'.

'Yep', he replied. 'That's why I'm dumpin it here, 'cause it says 'Fine For Dumping Garbage'.


Louisiana

A senior at LSU was overheard saying, 'When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana .' When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world.


Mississippi

The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, 'Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!'

Bubba replied, 'Did you see who it was?'

The young man answered, 'I couldn't tell, but I got his license number.'




Georgia

A Georgia State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-75. The trooper asked, 'Got any I.D.?'

The driver replied, 'Bout whut?'


North Carolina

A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it.. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, 'I have a flat tire.'

The passerby asked, 'But what's with the flowers?'

The man responded, 'When you break down, they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. Hey, it don't make no sense to me neither.'

(the previous 2 should go in the thread about sound alike words - LOL)



And this from South Carolina

'You can say what you want about the South, but I ain't never heard of anyone wanting to retire to the North.'

The... I subscribe to a newsletter geared to helping computer dummies like me, but found this interesting......and thought you all would, too.

The internet is full of scammers who are constantly thinking up new schemes or variations of them and some we are probably all familiar with.

1. The Nigerian scam.....usually wants to move millions of dollars out of the country, willing to share maybe up to 40% for your help, needing your bank account info, and an upfront payment from you of may $1000 or more to cover fees and transfers, etc. (I have gotten tons of these, and tons from the Hang Seng bank in Hong Kong as well)

2. Lotteries ....lol, as your email addy won the lottery in Canada, Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland, etc. Again are asked for $$$ to cover "fees"

3. Girlfriend....sets up someone she wants to know better, plans to come to the U.S. to visit. All plans are made, at last minute a snag develops, needs extra $$ for ticket or travel expenses, etc. Please wire the money.

4. Job offers...you can work from home, make over $3000 per month, have to give your bank account info......which is then used as a money laundering account for money stolen from others. Victim is thus considered an accessory.

5. Facebook/Hotmail....the crooks are able to hack into an account, Criminals obtain details to access an account on Facebook, Hotmail or a similar site. They then change the login credentials so that the real user can no longer access the account, and send a message to all contacts saying that the account holder is on holiday, often to London, and has been robbed just before coming home. They still have flight tickets but need between $500 and $1,000 for the hotel.

Want to know how I was able to stop one of these immediately? Early Sunday a.m. I was here on Spectator, then over to Facebook, my home page. My niece immediately starts a chat with me, is bummed out, on vacation in London, was mugged, was to fly home in a bit, still had her tickets, but had to settle her hotel bill, and needed to borrow some money. Will pay it back as soon as she returns. Was at the library, using their computer.
No, I wasn't born yesterday. It is early Sunday morning here, and late Sunday afternoon in London. The library is open? Gee, my niece did not mention a word about going to London.....tho she talks all the time about visiting baseball parks in various cities, and vacationing where she can visit lighthouses. I do not say anything to the "hacker" So......I called her. She was home, of course, told her about the "chat", I still had it open on my computer. I copied the entire "conversation". She turns on her computer, and oh, my gosh, this person has half dozen chat windows open, trying to pull the same scam on all her friends. She immediately changed her password, notified Facebook, who shut down her account. She explained her aunt had notified her, but guess they were playing it safe. I wrote them, sent them the copy of the chat conversation.....and her account was reinstated, after a couple weeks investigation to locate the hacker.

The Mistake...This has become very popular in recent months, fueled by the financial crisis and the difficulty people are having selling their homes and other high-value goods. The criminal contacts someone who has published a classified ad on a site such as Craigslist who is selling a house or other high-cost item. With great enthusiasm, the scammers agree to buy whatever it is and quickly send a check, but for an incorrect amount that is always more than the agreed sum. The seller will be asked to return the difference. The check will bounce and the victim will lose any money they transferred to the criminal.

I know some who were taken in by this scam, and out local newspaper even ran a story about a poor guy taken in by the "girlfriend" one.

Want to get a laptop.....but know nothing about them.
A couple of days ago I saw a news article about laptop recalls. There is too much information being put in the chips so the computers either burn out or short out at the plug. Intel and AMD have developed new chips to solve this problem. If you don't want the very newest and most expensive unit you might look for an older model with Windows XP. We have an old IBM and a Toshiba P105 S series. Toshiba has recalled almost 500,000 of their T series. Sony, HP, and Dell have recalled laptops too. Previously Dell was noted for faulty motherboards according to an article in The Economist.

Google has lots of info. Macs don't have the problems PCs do but they're pricey and have a steep learning curve.

Hope this helps.:smile: ]]> Daze and Knights (The Round Table) Rookaloo http://www.salemspectator.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13050 Who shot EJ...and how??? http://www.salemspectator.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13047&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:25:57 GMT Tjhere are just too many threads dealing with the mystery surrounding the shooting. I closed off a bunch, tried to confine everything, but again,... Tjhere are just too many threads dealing with the mystery surrounding the shooting. I closed off a bunch, tried to confine everything, but again, there are multiples.

So......there are just two questions, both in the subject title.

This is what we saw. EJ checking the silencer, putting the gun to his head, scrunching up his face, closing his eyes.

Sami finding an apparently unconscious EJ, laying on the bed, gun in his right hand. She takes it, and after some moments fires the gun at EJ, a wound apparently now appears, she leaves the room, goes down to the docks and throws it in the river. She returns to Rafe's place, slipping back into bed.

What if.......her slipping out of bed, going to DiMansion, shooting at EJ, throwing the gun away, etc. is really all a dream of hers...a nightmare of sorts? That could be a possiblity except for a spoiler I cannot mention yet.

What if.....Sami is yelling for EJ, finds him in her bedroom.......already shot, goes into a state of shock, taking the gun, then "imagining herself shooting EJ", then leaving with the gun still in the state of shock, and when she sees the gun in her hand, throws it into the water.

What if....EJ DID shoot himself, but the mirror images have us seeing the other side of his head, the one without the wounds, and when Sami fires the gun, we are now seeing what she actually sees as she fires. And her bullet is in the wall, sidetable, etc.

I have to admit, while I'm really happy with the quicker movement, excellent acting, and stronger dialog amid all the characters, I'm a little disappointed in the way that the Bo/Carly/Hope aftermath has played out.

Bo/Carly have basically had two scenes together discussing what happened, but there wasn't any resolution. The last time they were together was Carly saying "I'll do whatever you want" but no response from Bo.

I think the writers have done an excellent job building up the drama only to let the story fall flat.

A supercouple like Bo/Hope being destroyed deserves more airtime and play, and should have more emotion and feeling, especially after a huge event. Even if its Bo dealing with Carly and Ciara.

Episode #11414 Taped 7/15 Director – Noel Maxam

Salemites play the waiting game at Salem hospital, and so do the viewers, as not much movement in story today. Vivian sits with Carly & Chloe at Java, as they insist she take a hike. Viv, tho, is sure there is some hidden reason these two have become so close, is bound and determined to find out what it is, figuring it may just be a man. She finally decides to depart, but first takes a parting shot at Chloe, asking if she has told Carly yet what she did. Vivian departs, Carly asks what Vivian was talking about, and Chloe stumbles and bumbles all over the place, intending to explain, but taking forever to do so. They leave, going down to the docks, where they are alone, and Chloe continues to apologize, repeating a couple times how upset and insecure she felt when Vivian made her think Carly & Daniel were having an affair, and after a time, finally manages to tell about Vivian giving her the number of a man to call, who could cause a problem with the elevator at the hospital.

Vivian arrives home, to find Philip waiting, thinks he is there to see Victor, but no, Philip wants to see her. Vivian is touched, her son wants to see his mother. Phil gets right in her face, angrily telling her she is not his mother, ignoring her protests about carrying him for 9 mos. He warns her to stay away from his wife, no dropping in, no intentional bumping into her, etc. Viv realizes Melanie told him about her wanting to help with the shower, and with Philip so angry, agrees to back off from that. Now she tells him about concentrating on her plans for the tribute to his sister, to have her remains moved to this beautiful sarcophagus. Philip about has a fit, Victor arrives, what is all the noise. Philip tells of wanting Vivian to stay away from Melanie, Vivian leaves, Phil wants to know why she is still here. Everything is all over long ago, why hasn’t Victor sent her back where she came from. Vivian sits up in her room contemplating how Maggie is going to be missing with no one knowing.
Later, she is at the mauseuleum, the lid of the sarcophagus is open, all that white satin (and no pink satin pillow, lol). Gus can’t believe she is trying to kill Maggie, but Viv insists that is not true, she only intends to toy with her.
And back at the K mansion, Victor stands, sternly saying that when he gives an order he expects to be obeyed, he sits down facing little Ciara, saying…and I order you to have nothing but fun today, o.k. Ciara nods her head, he says o.k. let’s go. She hurries out, and it is almost as if Victor “skips” after her. LOL Cute scene.

Melanie sits with Maggie in the kitchen, talking a bit of the shower, but more about Maggie leaving on the trip and missing her. Later, she is at her dad’s place, babbling to him about the shower, and he is invited. He is happy she is getting along so well with Chloe, Carly, too. Maggie stops by with a gift for the baby, Melanie gets a call from the caterer, goes into another room, Daniel & Maggie talk about her trip. She explains how she and Mickey had planned to go, and she thought perhaps now, it would be comforting for her to go. Daniel advises that instead, it just might be upsetting. Maggie realizes that having lost his wife, he knows the grieving process, wonders if perhaps he is not right.

And then we have Stephanie, still pestering Ian to find out if Philip is the one who changed the results. Ooops, St. Mary’s put up another firewall, but Ian manages to get past it, and somehow is able to discern that no computer from Titan accessed St. Mary’s system. So, now Stephanie has another fit, cuz who could it be, maybe Chloe herself, but she is not that computer savvy, maybe had a friend. Decides no, cuz Chloe is a blabbermouth, and would not be able to keep a secret. She is really bugged as to who else could have changed it……and in walks Nathan, finding Ian once again visiting with Stephanie. Ian leaves, Stephanie claims she is just having a hard time with the new software at the hospital, and Ian is helping.

Today, the Emmy goes to Joe Mascola (Stefano) who is outstanding as Stefano alternates between his anger, worry, grief, sadness, love for his son. Stefano still thinks Sami is the one who did this, Rafe sticks up for her, reminding him she was with him last night. Yeah, he knows, sleeping. He reminds Sami whoever did this will die……in pain and alone. Stefano makes that threat a few times throughout the show. Daniel & Lexie are in EJ’s room, checking the machines, etc. Stefano comes in, wants to know how Elvis is doing. They cannot tell him, he is holding, but brain function is not so good. They leave him, and Stefano sits by EJ’s side, talking to him. Fathers are not supposed to have favorites, but I did, and that was you. Oh, yeah, we argued and fought, but that always got put aside. This should be me laying there, not you. He wants his son to fight, promising that he will find whoever did this to him, and they will pay. He kisses EJ’s forehead, then wearily sits on a chair across from the foot of the bed.
Outside, Sami goes thru the gamut of emotions. She doesn’t want to be responsible, she can’t do this, how would anyone know when. She finally goes to Daniel, has a horrible question, but doesn’t like being in this position, and beats around the bush a bit, before finally saying she wants a doctor’s opinion, how does one know when to pull the plug, which she thinks is a horrible expression. Daniel tells her one never knows, that when Chloe was in a coma, Lucas was told there was no hope for her, and to pull the plug, and yet she survived, came out of it and was fine. He says something about when there would no longer be any brain function..that could be the time. He leaves, Sami doesn’t like this one bit. Rafe suggests she go in to see Elvis for a while, maybe it would help her. She starts to go in, Stefano has just come out, tries to stop her. Lexie reminds him that Sami is EJ’s medical care guardian, and as such, can go in.

Stefano comments that Sami is a pain, and now repeats his threats about whoever did this will pay to Rafe. But Rafe tells him perhaps the wrong man was shot, and it is too bad that whoever did this didn’t wipe out the entire DiMera clan while they were at it.
Sami stands inside the room, near the door, looking at EJ, telling him he is Johnny’s father, he is Sydney’s father, how could he do what he did. Suddenly, EJ’s eyes flutter a bit, and then open. Sami begins yelling for Lexie, who rushes in, but EJ’s eyes are closed again. Sami goes out, telling everyone how his eyes opened. Stefano accuses her of wanting to have her kids all to herself. Finally, Lexie comes out of EJ’s room. Stefano anxiously asks if EJ will be all right. Yep, we get the silent, very solemn stare.
