||
“Am I not here, I, who am your Mother? Are
you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need anything more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you.” -
Our Lady of Guadalupe to Saint
Juan
Diego (1474 - May 30, 1548) |

From George Helliesen ('61) of MI - 12/11/13 - "12/18/13":
Please Post Dear Readers, Once again we are closing the doors on an old year and opening the doors on a new one. Most of us survived without many problems or issues, thank God, and are still fairly healthy. We all know that the cost of living is very expensive, especially financially, and therefore, once again Carol could use a little help in publishing her award winning newsletter. So I'm asking that all of her faithful readers send her a donation to assist with the expenses so it's not too much of a burden on her and Paul. She does such a great job and needs some reward for all of her efforts. I will send her my contribution as soon as my Social Security checks comes in next week. Thank you, Carol, for all that you do for the Typhoons! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all and a Happy New Year's. A friend, George Helliesen |

From George Helliesen ('61) of MI - 12/11/13
- "When Insults Had Class":
These may have been
around before, but you may enjoy them the second time. These glorious insults are from an era before the English language became reduced to mostly 4-letter words. A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies or your mistress." "He had delusions of adequacy." - Walter Kerr "He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire." - Winston Churchill "I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow "He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary." - William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway) "Thank you for sending me a copy of your book; I'll waste no time reading it." - Moses Hadas "I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain "He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.." - Oscar Wilde "I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend, if you have one." - George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill. "Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second ... if there is one." - Winston Churchill, in response. "I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like having you here." - Stephen Bishop "He is a self-made man and worships his creator." - John Bright "I've just learned about his illness. Let's hope it's nothing trivial." - Irvin S. Cobb "He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others." - Samuel Johnson "He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up." - Paul Keating "In order to avoid being called a flirt, she always yielded easily." - Charles, Count Talleyrand "He loves nature in spite of what it did to him." - Forrest Tucker "Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?" - Mark Twain "His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." - Mae West "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." - Oscar Wilde "He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts... for support rather than illumination." - Andrew Lang (1844-1912) "He has Van Gogh's ear for music." - Billy Wilder "I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it." - Groucho Marx

FINALLY: |
From
http://www.ajokeaday.com - 12/11/12: |
A mother carefully
explained to her young daughter how children were created. She used the
expression “carrying a child” instead of “pregnant,” but the girl seemed
satisfied. Sometime later, a terrible fire broke out in the neighborhood, and the girl stood by watching. Here is how she described the scene to her parents: “There was a big fire, and a fireman ran into the house, and when he came out, he was pregnant.” |

Alma Redemptoris Mater |
Loving Mother of our Savior |
Ascribed to Hermannus Contractus, d.1054 |
|
Alma
Redemptoris Mater, quae pervia caeli Porta manes, et stella maris, succurre cadenti, Surgere qui curat, populo: tu quae genuisti, Natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem Virgo prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore Sumens illud Ave, peccatorum miserere. |
Mother of Him who thee made from nothing made. Sinking we strive and call to thee for aid: Oh, by what joy which Gabriel brought to thee, Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see. |
