There is a live camera which hooks up to your computer. It is an inexpensive item. This is an item that most teenagers want. BEWARE OF THIS ITEM.

If you did not watch Oprah a few weeks ago, you missed a very important informational program.

A young man, who was an excellent high school student, top of his class, the class president and very well thought on in his school bought one of the cameras. His mother was a counselor for abused teenagers.

He hooked it up in minutes. He is a computer nerd. He loves all things involving computers. He has been creating websites since he was 13. He even gets paid for creating websites and has his own PayPal account.

He was on the computer for just minutes when he got an e-mail from someone about his camera. They were very interested in how it operated. Soon there were a few more people interested in it too. After a few days of discussion, one of them asked him if he had a Wish List for things he wanted for his computer. When he told them what he wanted; one offered him $50 to take off his shirt and use the camera to show them. He did, they paid through the PayPal and he got his money. A couple of days later, he was being offered more money and even some of the computer equipment he wanted if he would take off his baggy jeans. He figured it was no big deal, so he did.

It wasn't long before he was getting packages through the mail and his mother questioned him about them. He told her he had sold several websites and got paid. This has occurred before so she thought it was great.

After a few more days, he was offered larger "gifts" and sums of money to do some sexual acts on himself. He started locking his door and figured it was no big deal...So he did.

Then he was asked to fly to Las Vegas, get a room in a well known hotel/casino. He was told a computer convention was going on in town and his "friends' wanted to meet up with him. He told his mother about the convention and said he wanted to go with his best friend. His mother agreed and he made the arrangements (he didn't take his best friend.).

Once he arrived and checked in, he had a knock on the door within minutes. He was greeted by one of his e-mail friends and soon there were a couple more of them in his room. Then they told him who they really were. They ran in international pornographic business. They told him they had brought along a woman and he was going to have sex with her on camera and they would be selling the video. He would get paid for it. He knew he couldn't get out of the room with all these men there so he went along with it.

Before the weekend was over, the men had sexually assaulted the boy, on camera. After he went home, they contacted him and threatened him and his mother. They rented an apt and he went there every day and did whatever they told him to do. There were other young people caught up in this business and they met him at the apt. He continued to get paid. Soon they had him taking drugs and smoking weed. He was continually threatened for his own life and/or his mother.

A reporter for a New York paper came to speak at his school. He was introduced to the young man because he was such a good student. The reporter sensed there was more to the young man than being a good student.

The reporter befriended the boy and finally the boy told him he had a story for him. They agreed to meet to do an interview. To the reporter's surprise, the boy brought in all the e-mails since this thing had started. He had copies of all the Paypal transactions. Because of his skill with computers, he had managed to get through the various links and found the originating e-mails, names and addresses. He had all of this on a hard drive which he gave to the reporter. Once the reporter realized what a story he had; he contacted the FBI and other sources. The young man was put into the Witness Protection Program.

His life was being threatened and so was his mother's. The porn people offered him a Lambourgini to keep quiet. This was his dream car but he knew he couldn't take it. He decided the only way he could get out of the porn organization was to tell everything. He didn't want another child to get caught up in this sick mess. He went on the Oprah show and talked.

The reporter was on the program also and talked about how this camera has caused some serious problems for young people.

At the end, the boy said the moral of this story is that parents must keep the computer in an area where they can see what is going on. He said most young people can get around a child protection program on the computer with little problem. He said be alert, be careful and beware of the dangers on the computer.

Now onto less serious subjects. I rejoined my exercise place today. I will be working out 3x a week. I can go 2 x 2 days after 4 PM when I get off work and my 3rd day on Saturday. Once I retire I can go 3 days a week anytime where I live and 3 other days at the place on the south side of town. I need to get back into shape. I now I get winded walking up 2 flights of stairs. I know it won't be long before I am getting used to the exercising again and I will feel so much better too.

and now TIME FOR THE JOKES....

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "seniors' special" was Two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.

"Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs."

"Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.

"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" My wife asked
incredulously. "I'll take the special."

"How do you want your eggs?

"Raw and in the shell," my wife replied. She took the two eggs home.And baked a cake.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A white house source stated that Congress is considering awarding Vice-President Dick Cheney the Medal of Freedom, the national highest civilian commendation, for his act of bravery in shooting an attorney.

The source was quoted to say " All Americans have wanted to shoot a lawyer at one time or another and Cheney actually had the balls to do it".

In a related story, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which issues hunting licenses, said that it will start requiring hunters, wishing to bag a lawyer, to have the new "lawyer's stamp" on their hunting license. Currently Texas hunters are required to carry stamps for hunting birds, deer, and bear, at a cost of $7 annually. The new "lawyers stamp" will cost $100, but open season will be all year long.

The department further stated that although the "lawyers stamp" comes at hefty price, sales have been brisk and it is believed it will generate annual revenues in excess of $3 billion dollars the first year. Other states are considering similar hunting license stamps.

Impatient with efforts to close the courts to litigants, the Administration literally fired the first shot in its groundbreaking "No Lawyer Left Standing" initiative. Vice President Cheney, hunting on a private lawyer ranch near Kingsville, Texas, bagged an impressive buck (Harry Whittington, UT Law '50). Under the new program, hunters may take one white shoe in-house lawyer or three outside lawyers daily. The limit has been suspended for trial lawyers. "We've just got to thin the herd," said the Vice-President. "We've tried tort reform and caps on damages, but people are still suing." Cheney added, "It's easy and fun. In Texas, you can shoot in almost any direction and hit a lawyer."

and now for the best joke of all time.

A blonde called her boyfriend and said, "Please come over here and help me.
I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure it out or how to get it
started. Her boyfriend asked, "What is it supposed to be when it's
finished?"

The blonde said, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."


Her boyfriend decided to go over and help with the puzzle. She let him
in and showed him where she had the puzzle spread all over the table. He
studied the pieces for a moment, then looked at the box, then turned to her
and said, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able
to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger. He took her hand
and said, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of hot chocolate
and then............", he sighed, .....
