CEO Contributed by John of Whittier, CA
The
CEO of a large firm goes on a road trip with his wife. They pull over
a gas station to fill up the tank. |
 |
Later, the CEO steps
inside the facility to pay the cashier. He then notices that his wife
gets into an animated conversation with one of the gas station attendants.

As they drive on their
way, the CEO asks his wife, "I noticed you were talking to one
of the gasoline attendants ... it's as if you know him."
"Actually,
I do," she said. "We used to go to school together...
in fact, he used to be my boyfriend."
SIlence.
 |
"I know
what you're thinking," said the CEO with a smile. "You're
grateful because if you hadn't married me, you'd be married to a gasoline
attendant." |
His wife kisses
him on the cheek and says, "after all these years of marriage
you still don't understand. if I had married him, HE would have been
the CEO of a large firm and YOU would have been a gasoline attendant!" |

Deaf
and Pregnant Contributed by Dr. Al of Pasadena, CA
A lady has13 children
in a row all about 10 months apart. Each time she would take the newest
one in for its 3 month check up, the doctor would check her and say "you're
pregnant!"
 |
After child
no. 13, she took the baby in for the 3 month check up. The baby
was fine.
The Dr. said
"now we should check you."
|
She said that
won't be necessary, "I've got a hearing aid!"
The Dr. protested,
"hearing has nothing to do with pregnancy!"
|
|
"Oh yes it
does," she says. "Ever since we got married, when we
get in bed, my husband would always say, 'Do you
want to go to sleep or what?'"
I have trouble hearing,
so I say, "What?"

A few years ago, when I wasn't so conscious of my
health, I would eat like a horse. Hard to believe that this young
lady eats more than I ever ate. Wait till you see her stomach.

Abduction Experiment

Even if you've trained your kids not to talk to strangers,
there's no guarantee that they will act correctly when faced with
a real kidnapper. This is an eye opener.

3
Year Old Plays with Snake
Contributed by Abdul of Los Angeles, CA
 |
I think we spoil our kids too much here in America.
The slightest tinge of lead in kids' toys and parents are up at
arms. If toys are too small they can be swallowed, manufacturers
do a recall. We forget that little kids in other countries play
with dangerous stuff. But I think non-Americans need to draw the
line when it comes to snakes.

Suggestion for Bob
For you friend Bob, instead of spending hours with him, just send him a an audio recorder. You can get that for under $10 from ebay. This will give him 90 hours of audio recording. Once done he can just give that back to you and you can archieve it for posterity or listen to it at your leisure. I would be interested in listening to it as well. Maybe together with his pictures, write up a digital photo-biography of his experiences complete with his narration.
Just a suggestion.

ABout Bob
We need to talk about Bob. I may be able to help. What is the plan? How much time and how much money?
I have a friend who I might be able to get to help. I need to have something to tell him.
Are you going to record Bob's stories and then transcribe them?
As I am writing, it just occured to me that there already is a program doing this. I think Tom Brokaw is involved.

Singapore Video
A big, resounding AMEN!
BTW, the Singapore life style was interesting. Did you know that Singapore is rated the 4th safest city in the world? Davao City, Phil ranked the 9th. Ok, no? First was Osaka, then Munich, Stavanger Norway, etc. ....others were Bursa, Turkey, Heidelberg Germany, Seoul , Bergen Norway.
Family members moved to Singapore recently. I believe they were guided well in their choice of Singapore. Thank the Lord.

Digitize Photos
I can try to digitalized (put in DVD/CD format?} his 80 slides if he can mail them to me. My 14-year old grandson is into military history. He has been reading and studying the American Civil War, World War I and as well as WWII. He can help me in this project. It would be s shame to lose such a piece of history.
Let me know if this is possible.

I read your article on FADING
I read your article on FADING LEGACY. That hit me to the core, especially “It's sad that Bob's story will probably die with him. What's even sadder is that the stories of most people will never be preserved” and “It would be nice to chronicle our life for the sake of future generations.” Please check my Embrace Our Heritage website. I’ve been telling my relatives and others to submit their stories because dates, photos and records are good to have, but it is the stories which can and will solidify ourselves as to who we are. I have hundreds of photos of my dad during WWII where he worked as a civil engineer building railroads from the Russian border into Persia, yet how I long to know his stories. Also why he was sent to Persia when he could have been an interpreter in Italy (as a 1st generation Sicilian, I only learned he spoke fluent Italian when I was in high school). And my uncle, for whom I was named, saved many lives while he was in the Philippines. He also went through the Bataan Death March. So many things I wished I had asked.
I’d be glad to consider helping Bob. Like you, I really don’t have time to spend hours on any one person. What I have asked my relatives to do is to submit their stories via, text, audio, and/or video and I would arrange them in an organized manner, edit and proof their stories (with their permission of course). I’d also be willing to publish their stories on Amazon (and other sources, including Kindle).
Does Bob have a family? What I have asked from my relatives is to join the membership site as an individual, couple, or a family (2 generations). I also offer a extended family package (3 generations). Again, check out the site for more details.
