  • Is this book author still living?

    I am seeking stories to record in my personal Voiceover lab.     Knowing that I need to wait until 75 years after each book authors' passing to legally record any of their stories, I am seeking (1st of all) if the author Paul Aurandt is still living, 

    and (2ndly) I am seeking a few Fun / engaging Stories I can record in my personal VoiceOver lab from my home.

    Before his / their books were pulled from the bookshelves after he passed, I did purchase a few books that were written and sold by Paul Harvey and his son, Paul Harvey Aurandt.     -     Is he (Jr.) still living / writing books or has he also passed?

    If I can obtain any of his ^ / their style-stories, I realize that I will have to wait until 2095 into the next century if story-telling / reading will still be done by then.

    Who knows?

  • How long should this shipment take?

    I am mailing a (Christmas gift) package from Amarillo, Texas enroute to Charlotte, North Carolina.

    Expecting the USPS to give this package another Scenic-tour on its way to the Eastern-coast, how long before Christmas day should I ship this single package?

    ref. I have mailed packages (standard USPS) from San Antonio, Texas to Maryland that took 6 months shipping-time (I bet this also-single package stayed in California for a few months, then a few weeks in Chicago (why not?) and then awhile in Atlanta, Georgia for a weekend or two before arriving at its destination in Maryland.

    With now being quite-early to send Christmas gifts (still three weeks) is now too-soon to ship?

  • Fruitless Mulberry tree root system?

    I am doing all I can to revive a Fruitless Mulberry tree that was planted in my front yard.     

    Knowing that this tree did grow from a stem as a transplant to the flourishing tree it has become, how should I treat the soil and how / if should I water it - during the ongoing drought in my region?

    Knowing that the soil in my yard is worthless caliche, should I need to provide some Nutrition or any vitamins to my soil in / by the Springtime next year?  /  And how / where nearby the root-system of this tree should I provide water?  Does a Mulberry tree's root system grow more shallow and outward from the tree (like the regional Chinese Elm trees) or do the roots sprout downward to feed for water / moisture?

  • Which / if any News-reporter reports like Barbara Walters?

    I enjoyed watching informative News reporting styles like those that Barbara Walters used during her decades of News reporting for ABC News.

    Eager to watch more news-digging like Walters, Tom Brokaw, and Walter Kronkite (classic broadcasting reporters of years ago) which, if any News Journalists, Reporters or News Analysts still use Hard-core Broadcasting techniques that make the news-makers of today really-think-twice before speaking (like Barbara Walters made the Middle East leader, Yassar Arafat squirm in his seat during her international broadcasts of the time (1960's-1970's) during the wars of that time - which is still going on now)?

    Katie Couric?  -  No.

  • Do ALL the National food chains Follow-the-same menu recipes?

    I haven't Enjoyed eating-out for more than 40 years. <-All the regional restaurant chain outlets have gone so-far into the gutter with their menu-styles / food choices that either taste so bad or taste so bland that I prefer saving my money by cooking at home.

    Having returned from another-region, downstate from my home, I notice the very same thing. The menus offer the same style / cooking-selections all-across the country. Is this due to the Dining industry, across-the-board or am I merely-lucky / unlucky to visit the-same-management Corporation which buys Junk food to distribute across the same regional stores / even to "family owned restaurants"?

  • Does Paul Aurandt still write (books / commentaries)?

    Since ABC Radio's Paul Harvey's passing (1990) I no longer see as-many published books that were written by his son, Paul Aurandt.

    Does he (Paul Jr.) still author books / stories (a.k.a. Rest of the Story Storylines) that Paul Sr. made so popular during his many decades on the radio airways?

    Was their book, DESTINY the last published book in their series of Rest-of-the-Story Storylines?

  • What changes to my sleeping-situation should I make to control my snoring?

    In last night s conservatively Cold weather (low temps dropped to 33 degs F.) I seem to snore! <-I woke up this morning with a dry(?)-irritation on the top-surface of my tongue.

    In aim to raise the ambient moisture in my bedroom, I run a simple air humidifier. The moisture is so-thick that I do see condensation on my bedroom windows!

    I do turn-the Central air system to 62 F when I go to bed / even-though my heater does blow heated air through most of the night.

    I do use a NO-SNORE pillow on my Sleep Number bed. I turn my preferred Sleep Number to 25 - although I do use a thick Pad for further-support on my back.

    I am sleeping underneath a thick / padded comforter because - it is cold!

    What (if any changes to my currently preferred Sleep Number / or surface) differences should I take to control my (seeming) Snoring matter by either adjusting the heat or surface or anything-else?

    I am also adding a pillow underneath my knees (a secret that my Grandmother shared with me many-years ago) which has kept me lying flat on my back with my raised knees above the height of my head.

    I do use a swig of Dry mouth oral Rinse every night, before I go to bed. <-Is this possibly losing its Effect?

  • What difference should a Higher Octane gasoline provide in my car?
