The Land within 5 Miles of the Pacific Ocean is the Best Place to Survive... Low Risk of Wild Fires, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Hail, Super Hot or Super Cold Weather... but We Do Have Earthquakes & Tsunamis... READ MORE:")
and SoCal near the Beach... If you can Afford the Multi Million Dollar Homes there... But Big Sur is in a Danger Zone... Wildfires and Mudslides...
I Live in the Central Valley of California and It is LOW Wildfire Risk, Low Earthquake Risk... a Good Place...
When I Hire a LYFT, I find that Most Drivers use Electric Cars... Because the Dollar Per Mile Cost is MUCH LESS Than a Gasoline Powered Car...
and Sadly, I still see Millions of Cars and Trucks on the Road... and almost all are burning Fossil Fuel... and I see on TV News that in Airports More People Are Flying Than EVER BEFORE! and I'm Certain That People are Continuing to Eat Hamburgers... and Drink Milk... all those Cows are Farting Methane... and I Personally Do Eat the Meat of Cows, Pigs and Chickens... and I'm NOT Stopping...
SO... Make Sure You Leave the Fire Zone in the Western USA... Here in California the Foothills of the Sierras are a Danger Zone... and the Santa Cruz Mountains have had Fires and Floods...
From Texas to Florida and all along the Eastern Coast it's HURRICANES... The Midwest Will have MORE TORNADOES...
More Freezing Winters In the East from Maine to Idaho... #RUNAWAY Danger is Coming and It's NOT A HOAX!
Even if Humans are Not Causing Climate Change, We Ought To Try To Stop It. Or we get More Wildfires, Hurricanes, Tropical Diseases and Insects. Here's How!
Really. The question of IF Humans Caused Climate Change is Not The MAIN QUESTION. The Main Question is what can we do to stop it.
All of a Sudden, It's Fashionable to Ride a Bicycle to Work... and Everywhere Else Too. Want to Cut Your Gasoline Bill in Half? Ask Me How... Click Here!
Simply Drive Half as Far! Remember: Every Time you Start the Car You CAUSE Climate Change... Ask Yourself: Do I Really Need To Drive This Trip? REALLY? Couldn't I Substitute a ZOOM Meeting for a Face to Face Meeting?
OR Ride a Bicycle... It's the Actual BURNING Of Fossil Fuel That is the Problem...

NASCAR is INSANE. Pointlessly Driving in Circles Creating Air Pollution and Helping Cause Climate Change. What The F*CK is That All About?
Car Races are as Crazy as the "Trucker's Convoy" driving Across Country to Drive around and around and around the Washington DC Beltway protesting Wearing Masks To Prevent Disease... and then they were Surprised to see Endless Drivers Flipping them the Bird as They Drove By...

What If We Moved "The Office" to Abandoned Stores In the Shopping Mall? That Would Be a Much Shorter Commute to Work. Because Malls are Located Near People's Homes.
I Know People that Commute from the Central Valley of California to the Bay Area. That's Insane but That's Where the Jobs Are and That's Where Affordable Homes Are. Let's End the Madness!

SOLAR, WIND, HYDRO & BIOMASS are Cheaper than Nuclear Power Plants... That's Why We Aren't Building any Nukes. That and the Radioactive Waste That has to be Stored and Guarded for 10,000 Years... To Prevent Terrorists from Building a Dirty Bomb...
The Danger of A Crazy Man Simply Placing a Traditional Bomb Under A Cask of Atomic Waste is IMMENSE... Sometime During the 10,000 Years That Nuclear Waste is Actively Radioactive, It's Almost Certain that a "WhackJob" will Blow It Up!
Unemployed Physics Graduates Can't Get a Job in the Nuclear Power Industry so they Write Magazine Articles all about how wonderful Nukes Are... and Make Pro Nuke Videos...
In 1976 PG&E Said NO NUKES! and Shut it Down... The Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit 3 was a 63 MWe boiling water reactor, owned by Pacific Gas and Electric Company that operated from August 1963 to July 1976 just south of Eureka, California... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_Bay_Nuclear_Power_Plant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKJ_73_8kzo
Power - No Nukes concert
Remember: The Only Good Nuke is a Decommissioned Nuke... Shut 'em DOWN!
What is the main reason why fewer nuclear power plants are being built today compared to 40 years ago? Nuclear power plants have become too expensive to generate electricity at a reasonable cost. Which of the following accurately describes the use of fossil fuels for energy?

Humboldt Nuke Faces Dismantling By Jim Adams Twenty-two years after shutdown, PG&E’s Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant may become the first commercial reactor to be dismantled or decommissioned in the US. A major project got underway in September as the 250 ft. tall concrete vent stack began to be demolished. The utility has also announced its intent to remove 390 spent (irradiated) fuel rods from the pool at the plant, and place them in on-site steel containers called dry casks. For more than a decade, Redwood Alliance has urged PG&E to take this action. This will keep our community safe and allow complete dismantling to take place. Four miles south of Eureka and adjacent to Humboldt Bay, the Humboldt nuke sits on top of and close to major earthquake faults. The Alliance has worked since 1978 to make sure that the nuclear plant, one of the oldest and dirtiest in the country, would never reopen and will be properly dismantled.
GREENWASHING - Examples of Corporations Publishing Advertisements That Make Them Look Like They are Doing Ecological Work while they are Actually Destroying The Environment.

Oil and Gas Corporations are spending millions of dollars on campaigns to fight climate regulations at the same time as touting their dedication to a low-carbon future, according to a joint analysis by the Guardian and InfluenceMap.
Their global PR campaigns on social media promote a commitment to a green, low-carbon future, but across the US in particular, specific local campaigns are obstructing tighter regulations on fossil fuel extraction.
In many cases, oil and gas companies are using direct advertising but some targeted lobbying appears to be more opaque. It is channelled through so called “community” groups – which are being funded by fossil fuel companies.

HEY, ECO-WARRIORS! I Loved Riding the Bus and Light Rail in San Jose and EUREKA, California. I Remember I was able to get to work on the Bus ...and... Drinking and Driving is Not Only Illegal But Actually Dangerous While Drinking and Riding the Bus is FUN...
On Halloween, I Brought My Guitar and Sang for the Party Goers on the San Jose Light Rail... BIG FUN!
More Importantly, I Rode from Almaden to the San Jose Public Library and Used the Free Computers there to Build a Website in the Late 1990s. Tripod and Yahoo Geocities... I didn't know what I was doing but the Other Patrons were Happy to Help. My Content is Still Online 23 Years Later! http://www.oocities.org/gregvan/
Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants (Polluting the World) and Distributed Using WIRES. That's WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.
Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

Truly Creepy TV Advertisements... Power Past Impossible Pro Oil Propaganda... Trying to sell the idea that burning Fossil Fuels is Wonderful...
It has become obvious that Renewable Energy is our future but... all those people employed in the Fossil Fuel Industry are fighting for their lives to keep the USA purchasing increasing quantities of Oil and Gas... Their jobs depend on a steady flow of oil out of the ground into refineries and into our gas tanks... and all that plastic crap that is polluting the planet... Plastic does not "go away" ever... and we already see giant swirls of floating plastic in the oceans... The People that are employed by Exxon, Shell, BP, Halliburton and Koch have vast pools of money that they are now using to buy advertising talent to convince you and I that it is "cool" to buy gas... and plastic...
an alternative to buying corporate crap is to simply reduce the amount you travel in a car... In my youth it was fashionable to drive all over the USA following The Grateful Dead (an American Rock Band)... really... people (including me) would drive 8 hours or more to attend yet another concert... I'm not making this up... Well, now days traveling places is not really needed anymore... We can travel using the internet to see what's happening on the other side of the planet... It's all this driving around that is causing Climate Change.
Of Course, we all have to drive to work every day... Unless we live close enough to the office to ride the bus... Twice in my lifetime I was able to ride the bus to work. San Jose has great bus/light rail service and so does Eureka, California. One advantage to riding the bus is that you meet people... and become friends with them. In my case I met some women on the bus. I like women and was glad to have their friendship. We would sit in the back and chat for a half an hour every workday. VERY Pleasant...
Quit buying Plastic Crap. I'll say it again... Quit buying Plastic Crap. Just look for an alternative... One thing that is absurd is all the plastic bottles for drinking water... why not drink the water right out of the tap? The answer is that often tap water is poisonous... Well, what we need to do as a society is clean up the water that comes into our homes... really... Remember that showering in poisonous water is as bad for your health as drinking fracked water... and a coke at Taco Bell comes in a plastic cup... why not a waxed paper cup?
another alternative action is to divest your stock market portfolio of oil and gas investments... Like we divested from tobacco companies... simply call your stockbroker and ask to switch ownership of stock from oil and gas to solar and wind... It's an investment strategy that will win in the long run.
https://www.desmogblog.com/2017/02/06/american-petroleum-institute-superbowl-ad-oil-power-past-impossible American Petroleum Institute Launches Pro-Oil Ad Campaign... In this latest case, the real question is why API decided to begin lobbying the public directly, rather than using its money and clout to influence politicians who actually create the laws and some of the regulations governing the oil and gas industry. The answer to that question is likely simple: The oil and gas industries are already maximizing the benefits they are receiving from elected leaders, and are now focusing on gaining public approval.

"Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."

What Love means to 4-8 year old kids??
Slow down for three minutes to read this.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'
The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined !
'When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.' Rebecca- age 8
'When someone loves you , the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4
'Love is when a girl puts on perfume
and a boy puts on shaving cologne
and they go out and smell each other.' Karl - age 5
'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.' Chrissy - age 6
'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.' Terri - age 4
'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him , to make sure the taste is OK.' Danny - age 8
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen.' Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.' Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.' Noelle - age 7
'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still
friends even after they know each other so well.' Tommy - age 6
'During my piano recital , I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.' Cindy - age 8
'My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.' Clare - age 6
'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.' Elaine-age 5
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.' Chris - age 7
'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him
alone all day.' Mary Ann - age 4
'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.' Lauren - age 4
'When you love somebody , your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image) Karen - age 7
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross..' Mark - age 6
'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.' Jessica - age 8
And the final one: The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
gentleman's yard , climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'
Now, take 60 seconds and Post this for other to see. And then be a child again today!

I Cut my Driving from About 50 Miles Per Day to 1 Mile per day by Simply NOT GOING PLACES... I DO Use LYFT to Visit the Doctor Twice a Year... and Go to Walmart for Shots...
I remember Riding the Bus To Work...
That's Excellent in Comparison to Driving a Car.

NASCAR is INSANE. Pointlessly Driving in Circles Creating Air Pollution and Helping Cause Climate Change. What The F*CK is That All About?
Car Races are as Crazy as the "Trucker's Convoy" driving Across Country to Drive around and around and around the Washington DC Beltway protesting Wearing Masks To Prevent Disease... and then they were Surprised to see Endless Drivers Flipping them the Bird as They Drove By... HONK HONK! uckFay ouYay ruckerTay uckersFay Shouted The Average Joe!
This Photo shows the Old Executive Office Building on Pennsylvania Ave Right Next to the White House... Washington DC... The Tourists were Impressed... "Look Mom! There's a Protest Going On!" and Little Sally asked "What are they Protesting?" and Dad Said: "I Don't Know But... I Support The Troops!"
What If We Moved "The Office" to Abandoned Stores In the Shopping Mall? That Would Be a Much Shorter Commute to Work. Because Malls are Located Near People's Homes.I Know People that Commute from the Central Valley of California to the Bay Area. That's Insane but That's Where the Jobs Are and That's Where Affordable Homes Are. Let's End the Madness!

Simply STOP COLLECTING Gas Taxes in California. The State has a Budget Surplus so we don't Need Gas Taxes... We ALREADY Have Enough Money. Continuing to Collect Gas Taxes is Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome... a Mental Health Obsession! STOP COLLECTING!

SOLAR, WIND, HYDRO & BIOMASS are Cheaper than Nuclear Power Plants... That's Why We Aren't Building any Nukes. That and the Radioactive Waste That has to be Stored and Guarded for 10,000 Years... To Prevent Terrorists from Building a Dirty Bomb...
The Danger of A Crazy Man Simply Placing a Traditional Bomb Under A Cask of Atomic Waste is IMMENSE... Sometime During the 10,000 Years That Nuclear Waste is Actively Radioactive, It's Almost Certain that a "WhackJob" will Blow It Up!
Unemployed Physics Graduates Can't Get a Job in the Nuclear Power Industry so they Write Magazine Articles all about how wonderful Nukes Are... and Make Pro Nuke Videos...
In 1976 PG&E Said NO NUKES! and Shut it Down... The Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit 3 was a 63 MWe boiling water reactor, owned by Pacific Gas and Electric Company that operated from August 1963 to July 1976 just south of Eureka, California... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_Bay_Nuclear_Power_Plant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKJ_73_8kzo
Power - No Nukes concert
Remember: The Only Good Nuke is a Decommissioned Nuke... Shut 'em DOWN!
What is the main reason why fewer nuclear power plants are being built today compared to 40 years ago? Nuclear power plants have become too expensive to generate electricity at a reasonable cost. Which of the following accurately describes the use of fossil fuels for energy?

Humboldt Nuke Faces Dismantling By Jim Adams Twenty-two years after shutdown, PG&E’s Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant may become the first commercial reactor to be dismantled or decommissioned in the US. A major project got underway in September as the 250 ft. tall concrete vent stack began to be demolished. The utility has also announced its intent to remove 390 spent (irradiated) fuel rods from the pool at the plant, and place them in on-site steel containers called dry casks. For more than a decade, Redwood Alliance has urged PG&E to take this action. This will keep our community safe and allow complete dismantling to take place. Four miles south of Eureka and adjacent to Humboldt Bay, the Humboldt nuke sits on top of and close to major earthquake faults. The Alliance has worked since 1978 to make sure that the nuclear plant, one of the oldest and dirtiest in the country, would never reopen and will be properly dismantled.
GREENWASHING - Examples of Corporations Publishing Advertisements That Make Them Look Like They are Doing Ecological Work while they are Actually Destroying The Environment.
Many TV Advertisements SELL CONCEPTS Not Products... For Example: The CONCEPT That The Corporation ExxonValdez is a BioEngineering Pioneer and They are Ecological Saints! Just Look at Their Corporate Symbol... a TREE!
Totally Creepy ExxonValdez TV AD
Hug It and FORGET That Their Fossil Fuels are Causing Climate Change and the Extinction of Human Life on Earth ---> It is All PROPAGANDA DESIGNED TO MAKE EVIL CORPORATIONS LOOK WONDERFUL <---

Bayer [Monsanto] want you to FORGET That They Are the Maker of RoundUP=Cancer... They Try To Distract You... Remember... We Invented Aspirin! That's what We do!
Hot Stock Market Tip: Sell all Stock in Fossil Fuel Companies... Their Business is DOOMED! Invest in Solar, Wind and COMPANIES THAT MAKE AIR CONDITIONERS... With The entire Planet Heating UP, many People will want COOL AIR...
It’s time to rein in the fossil fuel giants before their greed chokes the planet...

I keep on seeing TV advertisements for Keurig Coffee that puts ONE CUP Worth of coffee grounds in a little PLASTIC container... Ridiculous! We have been brewing coffee for Hundreds of Years without Little Plastic Cups! You buy a two pound Aluminum Can and scoop a few spoonfuls into your percolator... or your drip coffee machine... using brown paper filters... simple, easy, clean, ecological and NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HAVE AN INVENTION THAT CREATES MILLIONS OF LITTLE PLASTIC CUPS!

Oil and Gas Corporations are spending millions of dollars on campaigns to fight climate regulations at the same time as touting their dedication to a low-carbon future, according to a joint analysis by the Guardian and InfluenceMap.
Their global PR campaigns on social media promote a commitment to a green, low-carbon future, but across the US in particular, specific local campaigns are obstructing tighter regulations on fossil fuel extraction.
In many cases, oil and gas companies are using direct advertising but some targeted lobbying appears to be more opaque. It is channelled through so called “community” groups – which are being funded by fossil fuel companies.

HEY, ECO-WARRIORS! I Loved Riding the Bus and Light Rail in San Jose and EUREKA, California. I Remember I was able to get to work on the Bus ...and... Drinking and Driving is Not Only Illegal But Actually Dangerous While Drinking and Riding the Bus is FUN...
On Halloween, I Brought My Guitar and Sang for the Party Goers on the San Jose Light Rail... BIG FUN!
More Importantly, I Rode from Almaden to the San Jose Public Library and Used the Free Computers there to Build a Website in the Late 1990s. Tripod and Yahoo Geocities... I didn't know what I was doing but the Other Patrons were Happy to Help. My Content is Still Online 23 Years Later! http://www.oocities.org/gregvan/
Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants (Polluting the World) and Distributed Using WIRES. That's WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.
Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...
Please Let Your Elected Officials Know That WE Have Had Enough of the Madness!

Truly Creepy TV Advertisements... Power Past Impossible Pro Oil Propaganda... Trying to sell the idea that burning Fossil Fuels is Wonderful...
It has become obvious that Renewable Energy is our future but... all those people employed in the Fossil Fuel Industry are fighting for their lives to keep the USA purchasing increasing quantities of Oil and Gas... Their jobs depend on a steady flow of oil out of the ground into refineries and into our gas tanks... and all that plastic crap that is polluting the planet... Plastic does not "go away" ever... and we already see giant swirls of floating plastic in the oceans... The People that are employed by Exxon, Shell, BP, Halliburton and Koch have vast pools of money that they are now using to buy advertising talent to convince you and I that it is "cool" to buy gas... and plastic...
an alternative to buying corporate crap is to simply reduce the amount you travel in a car... In my youth it was fashionable to drive all over the USA following The Grateful Dead (an American Rock Band)... really... people (including me) would drive 8 hours or more to attend yet another concert... I'm not making this up... Well, now days traveling places is not really needed anymore... We can travel using the internet to see what's happening on the other side of the planet... It's all this driving around that is causing Climate Change.
Of Course, we all have to drive to work every day... Unless we live close enough to the office to ride the bus... Twice in my lifetime I was able to ride the bus to work. San Jose has great bus/light rail service and so does Eureka, California. One advantage to riding the bus is that you meet people... and become friends with them. In my case I met some women on the bus. I like women and was glad to have their friendship. We would sit in the back and chat for a half an hour every workday. VERY Pleasant...
Quit buying Plastic Crap. I'll say it again... Quit buying Plastic Crap. Just look for an alternative... One thing that is absurd is all the plastic bottles for drinking water... why not drink the water right out of the tap? The answer is that often tap water is poisonous... Well, what we need to do as a society is clean up the water that comes into our homes... really... Remember that showering in poisonous water is as bad for your health as drinking fracked water... and a coke at Taco Bell comes in a plastic cup... why not a waxed paper cup?
another alternative action is to divest your stock market portfolio of oil and gas investments... Like we divested from tobacco companies... simply call your stockbroker and ask to switch ownership of stock from oil and gas to solar and wind... It's an investment strategy that will win in the long run.
https://www.desmogblog.com/2017/02/06/american-petroleum-institute-superbowl-ad-oil-power-past-impossible American Petroleum Institute Launches Pro-Oil Ad Campaign... In this latest case, the real question is why API decided to begin lobbying the public directly, rather than using its money and clout to influence politicians who actually create the laws and some of the regulations governing the oil and gas industry. The answer to that question is likely simple: The oil and gas industries are already maximizing the benefits they are receiving from elected leaders, and are now focusing on gaining public approval.

"Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."

The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...

What Love means to 4-8 year old kids??
Slow down for three minutes to read this.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'
The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined !
'When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.' Rebecca- age 8
'When someone loves you , the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4
'Love is when a girl puts on perfume
and a boy puts on shaving cologne
and they go out and smell each other.' Karl - age 5
'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.' Chrissy - age 6
'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.' Terri - age 4
'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him , to make sure the taste is OK.' Danny - age 8
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen.' Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.' Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.' Noelle - age 7
'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still
friends even after they know each other so well.' Tommy - age 6
'During my piano recital , I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.' Cindy - age 8
'My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.' Clare - age 6
'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.' Elaine-age 5
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.' Chris - age 7
'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him
alone all day.' Mary Ann - age 4
'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.' Lauren - age 4
'When you love somebody , your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image) Karen - age 7
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross..' Mark - age 6
'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.' Jessica - age 8
And the final one: The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
gentleman's yard , climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'
Now, take 60 seconds and Post this for other to see. And then be a child again today!
