What a wonderful example of the true American Spirit coming out of this terrible event.

How long will you live? This is a calculator that estimates your life expectancy. It was developed by Northwestern Mutual Life. It's interesting that there are only 13 questions.
Yet, they can predict how long you're likely to live.

GREETINGS . . .Yesterday while changing an alternator on the '93 Caddy,
a spark ignited apparent fuel in the throttle body that went up as if a torch.
Car destroyed, junk yard awaits. Removing rims / new Cooper tires and
substituting some other older wheels from '86, Touched something during
blaze resulting in blisters on three fingers. Hammond FD put out the fire.
It became an inferno in seconds, car destroyed in minutes. Will get the '86
back in business ASAP. Removed contents, and trunk area was untouched
thus no damage to piano tuning equipment, etc.. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
Stanley carelessly, stupidly, unknowingly, and with forgetting, broke the
cardinal rule of underhood (and elsewhere) repairs: DISCONNECT THE
BATTERY BEFORE ENGAGING WORK ! Had I followed procedure, this
would not have happened. I always disconnect the battery, but this is the one
time I neglected to do so. The car milage had gone over the 190,000 mark
during a recent trip to Pittsburgh via Ann Arbor, and still maintained 25+MPG
on the highway. I've really enjoyed the Caddy, but now for the next phase of
Stanley motordom. Later . . .San Zimmerman

Do not delete until you have had the opportunity to watch it…it's well worth the time spent…it will bring on the tears of joy. What a great Country we live in.

                     I did not know this...well worth the watch time!


         This is definitely worth a few minutes of your time to watch today.

        The guy at the end (same guy who's at the beginning) has some great words to live by for all of us.

        Watch till the end, you won't regret it.

        Never forget what happened that day.

Dear Abbey

2011-11-11T22:28:33-04:00

DEAR ABBY ADMITTED SHE WAS AT A LOSS TO ANSWER THESE:

Dear Abby,
    A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together, and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?

Dear Abby,
    What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence on my VCR?

Dear Abby,
   I have a man I can't trust. He cheats so much, I'm not even sure the baby I'm carrying is his...

Dear Abby,
    I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.

Dear Abby,
   I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.

Dear Abby,
    Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?

Dear Abby,
   I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get out?

Dear Abby,
    My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy.

Dear Abby,
   I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he drank until one night he came home sober.

Dear Abby,
   My mother is mean and short tempered I think she is going through mental pause.

Dear Abby,
    You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex and he is a doctor. Now what do I do?

Remember, these people can vote!!

RE: Lagomarcino's

I worked there for a big part of my time at MHS. I delivered fruit baskets to MPH in "uncle" Joe's 1950 Oldsmobile.

I remember Cleste the Swiss woman chocolate dipper. She made $5 an hour when we boys made 55 cents an hour. We had to have everything made and ready in the basement for when she came to minimize her time.

We boys also took food upstairs to their blind mother, emptied her trash and other small chores for her. I have never, ever forgotten her touch on my face, when she asked if she could "see" what I looked like. The delicate feel of her fingers reading my face was unlike anything I have experienced - before or since! She said in her thick Italian accent; "You a handsome boy!"

Stanley Faces Life

ANNCR: We join the closing moments of today's episode of:

Stanley Faces Life as we hear Stanley comment: "Is there anthing

more frustrating than a cypher tooting away in the middle of the

hymn?" "We're here today to share the worship experience within

this beautful edifice, yet the gremlins d'organ reward us with this

unwanted, interfering noise." "What are we to do?"

ANNCR: Tune in tomorrow for our next chapter in the continuing

saga of Stanley Faces Life, when we wonder: What about the postlude?

Thanks for listening.

ANNCR: You are listening to W B T L, Whiting, the radio voice of

Northwest Indiana. Stay tuned for the newscast to follow.

CHRONICLE. THIS JUST IN: Local organist, Stan Zimmerman tells us

of his attempts at subscribing to The Diapason E-Newsletter. It seems

the on-line subscription form doesn't respond properly, therefore Stan's

attempts seem futile. Diapason personnel have assured Stan the problem

will be resolved.

MEANWHILE, Whiting garbage collection crews have been delayed due to

weather related problems. Dominick Grodnick, supervisor of the streets and

sanitation bureau says: "Ya, well youse gotta realize deze guys is out in

dat cold, pushin' da snow outta da way sos da trucks can make it tru da

alleys." There you have it, thank you Dominick for that update.

Whiting Resident Communicates

Stan Zimmerman, resident at the Hoosier

Theater apartments, has been spendng time

reaching out to friends of many years and

family members. This is due to his recent

aquisition of a phone line and internet ser-

vice provider, and being sequestered in

Whiting during severe weather changes.

Zimmerman has learned about relatives

who've raised families, worked for a circus,

written books on alcoholism topics, money

management subjects, photography, and

fish and environmental topics.

Zimmerman, no stranger to spotlights,

is amazed by this array of vocations within

the structure of one family tree, and finds

his life of musical ventures and personality

status rather miniscule compared to the

attendant publicity and hoopla associated

with other family members. Genes perhaps ?

Known for his musical, journalistic, and

broadcast copywriting / script writing skills,

Zimmerman may communicate in any of the

aforementioned formats. In addition, he will

sometimes write in two characters, himself and

"voice" who is the alter-personality of the subject

being discussed. Split personality ? Just goofy !

Hip Replacement Surgery

2011-02-28T20:39:11-04:00

On February 8th, while on my way to swim my daily mile at the Y, I fell on a slippery floor and broke my hip. After a quick trip to Genesis West Medical Center in Davenport, IA, I underwent surgery to replace my right hip. My stay at the Hospital lasted from February 8th until February 25 and I am now at home recuperating and have begun outpatient Rehabilitation. I would appreciate any prayers that might be offered for an old codger on the mend. Hopefully, I will soon be out and about doing my nomal routines.
