A Round of Links

Just when I thought my computer problems were solved (new computer, new system, new browser, new ISP), I find myself in competition for online time. Both my kids have beome expert netsurfers. They tell me there would be no problem if I just got them each their own computer. I don’t THINK so. They are too young, and I am too cheap. So we will have to share. Maybe I will get an egg timer and reward housecleaning time with computer time. Might work for them, sure doesn’t work for me.

My Heritage will run your face through a database of celebrities and see who you resemble. One friend refused to try it. He assumed that since I sent it, it must be one of those websites that come back saying you resemble a monkey or something. But this is real. I tried it with the my latest pic, and they say I resemble Olivia Newton-John. I don't see any likeness at all.

PHOTO EDITING

A man moves into a nudist colony. He receives a letter from his grandmother asking him to send her a current photo of himself in his new location. Too embarrassed to let her know that he lives in a nudist colony, he cuts a photo in half intending to send the top half to Granny. Unfortunately, he accidentally sends the bottom half of the photo. He's really worried when he realizes that he sent the wrong half, but then remembers how bad his grandmother's eyesight is, and hopes she won't notice. A few weeks later he receives a letter from his grandmother, "Thank you for the picture. Change your hair style... it makes your nose look short. Love, Grandma"
