A FUN DAY OF FISHING IN NAPLES

 

­Hope some of my friends will come join me for fishing some time.
A great time was had by all on the charter "Captain Marvel"
We caught these permit fish on light tackle and what a battle it was.
 
                                               Regards,  BOB

I really enjoyed your fifth birthday party.

When you go fishing for cobia next month with

Justin and Manfred, please send me pictures.

THE  COMPUTER SWALLOWED GRANDMA



The  computer swallowed grandma.
Yes,  honestly its true.
She  pressed 'control' and 'enter'
And  disappeared from view.

It  devoured her completely,
The  thought just makes me squirm.
She  must have caught a virus
Or  been eaten by a worm.

I've  searched through the recycle bin
And  files of every kind;
I've  even used the Internet,
But  nothing did I find.

In  desperation, I asked Jeeves
My  searches to refine.
The  reply from him was negative,
Not  a thing was found 'online.'

So,  if inside your 'Inbox,'
My  Grandma you should see,
Please  'Copy', 'Scan' and 'Paste' her
And  send her back to me!

In this con, someone calls pretending to be a court official who threateningly says a warrant has been issued for your arrest because you didn't show up for jury duty.  The caller claims to be a jury coordinator.   If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Sometimes they even ask for credit card numbers. Give out any of this information and bingo!  Your identity just got stolen.  The scam has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and Colorado. This (scam) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try and bully people into giving information by pretending they're with the court system.
  The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their websites, warning consumers about the fraud.
