If I were to spend that much $$ over a email. I would pick up a phone for conformation and validate if it is real. |

My father in law who was also a retired judge was brilliant when it came to the law. But when it came to emails and telephone scams he was a child. Remember, many judges are older and grew up in a different time. |

Being that war is hell, lots of people were harmed during the production of this motion picture (but since television is a dramatic medium of make believe, all casualties removed their prosthetic make-up and went home unscathed). Credited characters in this episode include Gangrene Man, Head Wound Man, Hysterical Woman, and Blind Soldier. Also Hippocrates and Democritus.

My father in law who was also a retired judge was brilliant when it came to the law. But when it came to emails and telephone scams he was a child. Remember, many judges are older and grew up in a different time. Sad to say, some of My relatives are like that, one is older, and the rest are younger, go figure. But then I understand computers, and security, since I've been involved in both in the past, what can I say. Plus I've had to do IT duties on some PCs that a friend owned, some of His employees liked to visit risky sites, ones that would have keyloggers, and other harmful malware ready to be unleashed on any unsuspecting sucker. Needless to say that was as a favor, it was not a paying gig. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Coffee-seeking 81-year-old leads Denton (TX) police on low-speed chase The Denton police officer rapped on the elderly driver's Jeep, telling her to roll down the window and unlock the door. .... snip .... "Nancy, why didn't you stop?" one of them asked as she sat on the ground. "Why didn't you just open the door when I knocked on the window back there?" |

Teenage boys wear skirts to school to protest against 'no shorts' policy https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/jun/22/teenage-boys-wear-skirts-to-school-protest-no-shorts-uniform-policy Strange. When my nephew, who lives in England, was in school he had to wear shorts even at winter. |

We weren't allowed to wear long trousers until we entered the 3rd year of secondary school. |

We weren't allowed to wear long trousers until we entered the 3rd year of secondary school. Matthew's mother had to appeal to the school that he should wear long trousers during winter. She didn't want that he would suffer from knee problems later in life. |

Didn't cause any problems for us. The winters here for the past 40 years have been nothing like the winters that people from the 40's, 50's or 60's went through. |

I forgot. Soon pupils will wear Hawaiian shirts during winter. :) |

US Inventions There has been a British outcry on social media after a US chain claimed to have invented a new summer snack. Considering that Mrs Beeton included a recipe for sausage rolls in her book Book of Household Management in 1861, page 658 we on this side of the pond are 'not amused'. |

By 'eck, thats luxury. Snow? We had to chisel our way out, through ice, with just a spoon! Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |
