Advice column…
Dear John,
I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV. My car stalled and then it broke down about a mile down the road and I had to walk back to get my husband’s help.
When I got home, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor’s daughter!
I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor’s daughter is 19. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. He won’t go to counseling and I’m afraid I am a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help?
Sincerely, Sheila

Dear Sheila,
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.
I hope this helps,
John

Yesterday (yes I know I’m late) was the birthday, in 1809, of Felix Mendelssohn. I like a lot of his stuff but I’m sure all of you will recognize his most famous work. This is a well-done rendition.
and here is the orchestral version which is also very nice.

What’s considered trashy if you’re poor, but classy if you’re rich? Manipulating the stock market.
My friend couldn’t afford to pay his water bill.So I sent him a “get well soon” card.
My mother-in-law drowned in a well.I didn’t know that wells still existed, let alone granted wishes.
My personal trainer said I did so well on the treadmill that next week she’ll turn it on.
I know the guy who invented Cliff’s notes. I asked him how, he said “Well, to make a long story short…”
I’m addicted to placebos. I could quit, but it wouldn’t matter.
I crastinated part-time for seven years before I went pro.

On this day (in 1896), La bohème by Giacomo Puccini premiered at the Royal Theater in Turin. Here’s a wonderful bit. Isn’t she amazing?
