I am retired and I would like to go back to work. Does anyone know any temporary staffing agencies in the north Houston, Spring, The Woodlands, or Conroe areas?

I have 3 flower beds, and one of them is infested with a fungus (mushrooms). Does anyone know of something that will get rid of the fungus without killing the bedding plants and other greenery in the bed?

Ten points for the most original or funny excuse for missing work. It has to be original - it has to be beleivable - tell us who used it as an excuse.

Version 1 -

Day is done, gone the sun,

From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;

All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,

May the soldier or sailor,

God keep.

On the land or the deep,

Safe in sleep.

Fading light, dims the sight,

And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.

From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,

'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;

As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,

Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds

Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight,

And the stars gleaming rays softly send,

To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

Version 2

Fading light dims the sight,

And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.

From afar drawing nigh -- Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun,

From the lake, from the hills, from the sky.

All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Then good night, peace

There really is only one natural food that will not spoil.

As I was going to St. Ives

I met a man with 7 wives.

7 wives had 7 sacks.

7 sacks had 7 cats.

7 cats had 7 kits.

Kits, cats, sacks, and wives - how many were going to St. Ives.

This is the way this teaser was originally written. Answers please.

I use Microsoft Outlook. I was advised by Yahoo! to change my POP mail settings by March 30, and I did. I could receive and open mail, but not send it. I went back to the old settings and now they don't work either. One error message says to verify the e-mail address. That hasn't changed in years. What is going on with the POP servers?
