Hah, just found the "Jump to my last post" arrow button on Settings. That makes it easier to catch up. But does that mean I have to post every time I leave the Lounge?
In a world where relationships are fleeting, this story left me sobbing.
The Heartwarming Story of an Elderly Widower's Heartbreaking Song
A Letter From Fred on Vimeo
When Fred Stobaugh's wife Lorraine passed away earlier this year, he felt he needed to say goodbye one last time.
"She gave me 75 years of her life," said Stobaugh, recalling "the prettiest girl I ever saw."
Like many a heartbroken men before him, the 96-year-old sat down to write his "Sweet Lorraine" a song, but after coming up with the lyrics, the melody, and everything in between, he realized he lacked the musical talent to bring his eulogy to life.
Enter: Green Shoe Studio.
The Illinois-based music production outfit just so happened to be running an online singer-songwriter competition aimed at discovering unsung talent, and Fred just so happened to come across an ad for the competition in his local paper.
Not being entirely familiar with the concept of email, Fred instead went the old-fashion route and sent Green Shoe an honest-to-goodness letter with his hopes and dreams tucked inside.
Touched by the story, the studio agreed to fill in the gaps for Fred, and turn the tune in his head into a professionally produced track.
The entire process was captured on film for the short documentary A Letter from Fred "a poignant story of life, love and music."

Hi there ReovilleDo any of you use any of the AiV juices? I just got a sampler pack and am wondering how long I should let them steep? A definite positive is that it looks like the 3ml sample bottles will screw right into the new mini

Hi Reo users, I have a question about the RM2, how does it take its air, a hole in the cap, through the 510, what I really want to know is will it work on a bottomfeeder other than the Reo, with a 510 extension and a squirt while tipped
Cap has a hole on the side for air. Only juice feeds through the bottom hole.
(Feels strange in here.......)
My new neighbor He's single . . . He lives right across the street .
I can see his condo from my balcony. I watched as he got home from work this evening . I was surprised when he walked across the street, up my driveway and knocked on my door .
I rushed to open it, he looks at me and says, "I just got home, and I have this strong urge to have a good time, get drunk, and make love all night long! Are you busy tonight?"
I quickly replied, "Nope, I'm free, I have no plans at all!"
He said, "Great! Could you watch my dog?"
Being a senior citizen, really sucks!
