I can’t decide if it’s a miracle I became a writer, or if I was destined to become one.
After all, I had plenty of practice when I was a kid growing up in Elmwood Park and had to go home after school at John Mills Grammar School to write 500 times on sheets of lined paper: “I promise I will never throw snowballs on the playground ever again.”
Mayo Clinic’s Health Letter from February explains that “Memories of past painful experiences can influence your current experiences.”
For example, a strong remembrance of past pain at your dentist office does not help any new pain threshold about to be realized there. Mayo continues, “And pain itself can predispose you to more pain.”
In Illinois, there are 10,798 people homeless on a given night; 8.4 homeless per 10,000 people in the general population. Half of the homeless population is outside of Chicago; nearly one thousand in the Western suburbs of Kane, McHenry Aurora, and Elgin. Jordan Debbink, the Special Events & Volunteer Coordinator at the Pioneer Center is trying to make a dent in that number.

While Sun City might not dye its Meadow Lake green, it does have a St. Patrick’s Day celebration of its own. Every year, Sun City’s Celtic Club hosts a dinner party, and this will be its 19th one.
I have a question concerning water pipe noise that you might be able to help me with. Whenever I run water in the house and then turn it off, I hear a high-pitched tone that goes on for about 5 seconds before going away.
I dug deep, did tons of research, called around, and finally determined that the five people who were involved in writing and creating this story were all in some sort of hallucinatory state as they put this together. What other answer could there be for the mind-bending trip this movie leads you on?
Sun City’s 20th anniversary year is starting up, with the first major event of the celebration on Friday, April 12.
Jim recently retired and closed the doors of his business. One of his long time clients gave him a $100 gift certificate to Bold American Fare in Algonquin as his retirement present. Since we review 25 restaurants a year, we rarely get to go back to the same restaurant twice. Another reason for not going back is that after reading our reviews, they won’t let us back in!!! As a result, we were determined to use up the $100 in one sitting, no matter what it took.
For this week’s article, we are talking with Marissa Stublerthe Membership and Marketing Manager for Illinois Landscape Contractors Association (ILCA). Marissa, thanks so much for being available to answer a few questions for our readers!
Now that college basketball’s final four is upon us again, let us pause and think about the greatest dynasty in sports history. Let’s remember someone who not only built the first great dynasty but who defined what a dynasty is. Who is this person? He’s the Wizard of Westwood, the Establishment coach in a time of anti-Establishment dominance.

It’s no secret that getting up early is supposed to be more helpful if you want to get things done. As an early riser myself, I can vouch that this is true. Even as a young kid, I never wanted to sleep in. In fact, I had was the opposite problem. Every morning when I was little, my mom would leave a note taped to my bedroom door telling me what time I was allowed to get up and leave my room. Usually, she illustrated the note, often featuring a smiling sun with specific times like “6:30” or “7:15” drawn next to it.
“We are just dog people,” Red Linder said. Linder, along with co-owner Cat Gyiraszin, opened The Barking Lot Indoor Dog Park & Daycare in Huntley last December, and many Sun City residents have taken advantage of the new facility.
Someone once said to me, “Everybody, every day, does the very best they can do.” At first I couldn’t agree, because the world is filled with slackers, malingerers and lazy louts who are just getting by. You’ve seen them, right?

“Our group meets weekly, but more importantly we don’t close for Black Friday, Thanksgiving, or any holidays. Those are the days that support is needed more,” Sharon Stevens offers. Stevens moved to Sun City after the death of her husband. “My grief was delayed. I moved to be near my daughter and Grandchildren and then I found out my daughter had cancer. I became so involved with caring for her and the grandchildren, that I did not get a chance to grieve.”

Chronic pain, contrary to the acute form, is pain that, despite some fluctuation in intensity, doesn’t go away with time. Mayo Clinic Health Letter explains, “It (chronic pain) can affect a specific area, such as with back pain, headaches or facial pain, or it can be more widespread, such as with fibromyalgia — a disorder that causes pain throughout the body.”
I remember reading in your column about replacing the switch that controls the front porch and garage lights that includes the flashing in case of emergency. Can you tell me what to get for a replacement for this switch?
Neither rain, thunder, lightning, sleet, snow, freezing fog, or ice storms shall keep the Dining Duo from their appointed restaurant reviews. See what we do for you guys? Nancy bundled up like the little brother in the movie “A Christmas Story,” took an ice pick to the Mini-Mobile, turned the heated seats (aka, bun warmers) to high, and off we went. We didn’t go very far, we slid into Casa Rubi-Os in Huntley.
This is a very short story about a very long criminal court case that began in Sun City in 2015.
Shopping, for me, is always done out of pure necessity. I don’t get any pleasure out of it and would rather be doing a whole litany of things outside the confines of a store, rather than being inside it. There is one thing I do enjoy about shopping though. It is that at Kohl’s at the end of the whole experience, I get to look up at the large screen that details the purchases and circled in red, is the amount of money that I saved. It is a good feeling knowing that I chose wisely and am saving some money.
I will begin by telling you Green Book impacted me more than anything I have seen since Darkest Hour (December 2017). I should have gone to see this movie when it was released last November and I’m sorry I didn’t.
On a recent trip to visit relatives near Detroit, we decided to take a couple of days and see some of the local sites. Number 1 on our list was the Henry Ford Museum, with “museum” being a plural. The complex consists of the main transportation museum, the Ford Greenfield Village, and the production plant. We only had one day, so we were only able to visit the transportation museum. Fortunately, the group tickets come without an expiration date so we’ll get to use the other half on our next trip.
A cheery group of residents and current and former Sun City Softball Coyotes members attended the Cubs training game in Arizona recently and were recognized on the stadium’s jumbo screen.
Letters for the week of March 7.
Have you ever had that wonderful feeling when you found something that you thought you would never see again? Parsla Gagainis did when got a chance to see her late husband’s pride and joy, a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30. “One of my daughter’s friends saw the car in a car magazine and my husband was listed as the original owner,” Gagainis explained. Gagainis took a second look at the article. “It was our car. I couldn’t believe it. We had sold it in 1999 and now 20 years later it looked the same.”

I have a love-hate relationship with the healthcare Marketplace. I love that it makes insurance available to anyone…and I hate everything else.
