Do You Turn Off Your PC at Night?

When you go to bed at night and "forget to shut down the computer", I think you should know what actually goes on.

It is 2 a.m. You are asleep. The computer is still "on". Are you aware of where your icons are and what they are doing?

Just to open your eyes, turn on your sound. Then, click HERE.

Wait until it loads and see your icons at play.

What to Do with a Dead Horse


Young Jack, moved to Wagga Wagga and bought a horse from a farmer for $100.00.

The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day he drove up with no trailer and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The horse died.'

Jack replied, ' That's OK. Then just give me my money back.'

The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went downtown and spent it already.'

Jack said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.'

The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?

Jack said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'

The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead horse!'

Jack said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

A month later, the farmer met up with Jack and asked, 'What happened with that dead horse?'

Jack said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00.'

The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'

Jack said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'

Jack eventually grew up and and now works as a Real Estate agent.

The Duck Is Really Dead


A woman brought a very limp duck into a vet's

surgery.

As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his
stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his he
ad sadly and said 'I'm so sorry, your
Duck, "Cuddles" has passed away.'

The distressed owner wailed 'Are you sure ?'

'Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead,' he replied.

'How can you be so sure?' she
protested. ' I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.'

The Vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room, and returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador retriever.

As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his paws on the table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the Vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet patted the dog, took it out and returned a few
minutes later with a cat.
The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back
on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, 'I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.'

The vet turned to his PC, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. '$150!', she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"

The vet just shrugged, and said, 'I'm sorry.

If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab report and the Cat scan, it's now $150."

Elderly Road Trip


















Remind you of anyone you know?



While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch.
After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant, and resumed their trip.
When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and she didn't miss them until they had been driving about forty minutes.
By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around, in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.
All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man.
He fussed and complained, and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive.
The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up one minute.
To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car, and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her, 'While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card.'

This coming week is National Mental Health Care week.
You can do your part by remembering to contact at least one unstable person to show you care.
Well....my job is done. Your turn.

The difference between a pony and a horse

There is more than one way to differentiate between horses and ponies, but one of the most common
ways is by measuring the height of the animal from hoof to withers (See photo).

According to this method, a horse is more than 14.2 hands in height. A pony is 14.2 hands or less.

A hand is the width of a human hand or 4 inches. So a horse should be 56.9 inches or taller. It seems rather inconvenient to put your hand on the hoof and another hand above that one and another above that one, etc. There are now measuring sticks for determining a horse's height.






A pony, and there are many sub-species of them, is any horse which is 14.2 hands or less in height. A pony is NOT a baby horse. Ponies do not grow up to become horses. They are shorter in height by nature although they tend to be stronger than horses when you consider their size against the size of a horse.

The babies of both horses and ponies are called 'foals'. The males can be called 'colts'.

In a manner of speaking, the 'cousin' of horses and

ponies is the donkey.
