Sonya Sophia Said: 

If you’re feeling depressed, you need to change some things. We are affected by the field of info we are subjecting ourselves to. Take inventory and feed your mind with hope, love, gratitude, and messages of POWER.

If something or someone is sending you sick signals that life sucks, that you suck, or that love sucks, you will eventually believe it. And THAT’S DEPRESSING!

Your thoughts generate your feelings. Your feelings control your brain chemistry. Change the message. It’s YOUR life! And unless you take charge of it, it’s likely to be run by someone or something else.

Edit for peace. Drop dysfunctional relationships. Then do the inner work to see why you accepted that in the first place.

Bottom line: heal your childhood trauma – old patterns your parents passed on to you. Tune yourself to uplifting messages as you learn to manage your mind, and design a new reality for yourself.

Here is the Tap prepared to help you go through this process gently - Tapping Through Trauma (you will find it on our website www.WorldTappingCircle.com in the membership area).

Hi Gregory, it’s Jane Fonda with Fire Drill Fridays and Greenpeace USA.

First, I want to thank you for all your hard work this election season. Many of you volunteered, donated, and organized to ensure that efforts to Get Out the Vote were timely and widespread. And many of you joined us for Fire Drill Fridays to create a community of climate champions that will not back down from our shared values.

The election is over, the voters have spoken — but what does that mean for our movement?

Tomorrow, November 11 at 11am PT/2pm ET, I will be joined by Jane Kleeb, Chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, to make sense of the election and how it impacts our fight for healthy communities and a livable planet.

Jane Kleeb has served as the Nebraska Democratic Party Chair since December 2016. She is an experienced grassroots organizer, manager, political strategist and nonprofit entrepreneur. Recently profiled by PBS in a film called Blue Wind on a Red Prairie, Jane is a leader who deeply understands the need to connect issues that rural and urban communities are facing to politics in order to win elections.

This is the time; this is the moment. With the wins and losses, the cheers and the heartbreak still fresh, let’s come together and discuss how we can most strategically move forward. 

RSVP to let us know you're coming and tune in tomorrow, Friday, November 11 at 11am PT / 2pm ET on firedrillfridays.com, Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube for this important conversation.

Our livestream isn’t the only way to get involved: We've entered a new phase in the fight for climate justice. Incremental legislative progress was never good enough and after this week's election results, we must seek transformative action. 

That’s why, on Friday, December 2, we're taking to the streets of Washington, D.C. to demand that President Biden declare a climate emergency. This will be the first climate-centered in-person rally after the election, and we will hold our elected officials’ feet to the fire to deliver the kind of climate action that science and justice demands. 

As my good friend and Greenpeace USA Co-Executive Director, Annie Leonard, says, “Being a climate champion means having the courage to fight for people and the planet no matter what powerful interests do to stand in the way of climate action.”

I’m asking you — as Americans of all generations, races, and places — to join me in setting the tone for a powerful movement in 2023 and beyond. Sign up now for our Climate Emergency Rally on Friday, December 2 in Washington, D.C.!

In solidarity,

Jane Fonda
Actor, Activist, and Fire Drill Fridays Founder 

What's Your Opinion? Food Delivery Comparison: WALMART vs Target, Safeway etc... I Fired Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Email Me At gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]com

Amazon delivers in One Day free shipping if you buy $35 worth of Food. WALMART wants me to Join a Club for $12.95 a Month and I Get Free Shipping in One Day if I Buy $35 Worth of Food. No Thank You WALMART. You Better ROLL BACK Those Prices WAY BACK... WAY WAY BACK... Next I'll Check Out Costco - They want me to become a Member at $120 Per Year... I did that 20 Years ago but found that their BULK Portions were too large a quantity of food for a Two Person Home. But I'm always Grateful for Them Converting FILM Photographs to a Computer Disc. I did that in 2004 with my Rainbow Gathering Photographs... Some of the Best I've Ever Taken. WINCO Does Deliver but the Selection is Limited to 27 Items... None of them are the Right Items... I mostly want Cheese, Crackers, Beef Jerky, dried fruit and RAMEN...

I'm NO LONGER an Amazon Customen... IS THERE A BETTER PLACE TO ORDER DELIVERED FOOD? So Far Raleys Seems the Best Alternative to Amazon...

I'll have to Investigate Trader Joes and Safeway. 

I'm going to see if they deliver groceries... Now that I Fired Jeff Bezos and Amazon I'm looking for someone to ship Cheese and Crackers, Ramen... etc, etc, etc... Maybe Trader Joes... I also need to Check Out Safeway because when I used to Shop there they had an excellent selection of EXPENSIVE Cheeses... Especially the Blue Cheeses... 

I checked out Target: They want a $10 delivery Fee and a $2 Bag Fee... and Somehow I'm going to be Charged Tax... on FOOD? So at the Last Minute I Cancelled my order for Cheese and Crackers... They have a Good Selection of groceries... but they wanted me to authorize substitutions for out of stock items with a similar Item... Likely to be OK but...

I STOPPED shopping at Amazon because Jeff Bezos is Behaving Badly... Raising all prices on Everything... Not Paying his Income Taxes... Publishing his Totally Wrong Opinions Everywhere... I did Cancel my Amazon Prime Subscription. $16.15 a Month Even if I Don't Buy Anything... but Free Shipping if I Do Buy Something... Often It Saved me Money but other times it was NOT Worth It. 

"Amazon's CEO announced Thursday that the company would be raising prices to keep pace with inflation. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company will begin charging U.S. third-party sellers a 5% upcharge because of higher inflation and fuel costs, a hike expected to trickle down to consumers."

https://southernmarylandchronicle.com/2022/04/16/amazon-raises-prices-to-keep-up-with-inflation/

"For Musk and Bezos, it was the stimulus to help consumers at the time of the pandemic that caused the inflation. Basically, the responsible culprit for the surge of your recent grocery store receipts is the federal government."

and on a different subject: Biff Rose Tells the Tale of His Visit to Charles Manson In Prison...

Gregory Laan

I did not know that you visited Charles Manson... Probably an interesting Visit... I did like his TV SHOW "Charlie's Angels" - That was a Biography of the Manson Family but the Studio "Flipped the Script" in order to Get More Viewers..

Biff: Charlie's Angels..ha ha funny joke..I was going with Valerie the Queen of the MONKEES to see her ex when this bald headed girl with a X carved in her third eye came up to me "Biff it's ME..GYPSY.....

"Gypsy?" ( everyone was named Gypsy then.,,,,.it was the early seventies.)... "Cathy...Cathy Share...I was at your house...I'm in the FAMILY now..... you oughta go meet Charlie..he'd LOVE to meet you..he's the Son of Man you know get it? MAN...SON.."

"Oh yeah right...I remember you, Kathy..you were at my house the week Such a Holiday by the BeeGees was number one..."

Every week there was a new NUMBER ONE HIT...Winchester Cathedral...Mrs Brown you've got a lovely daughter....such a day for a day dream...

So Valerie Queen of the Monkees went to see her ex and I went thru this maze of elevators and small windows opening on hge steel doors and finally there we were face to face behond a glass drakly cuz the Prosecutor had said "Don't look him in the eyes..."

But I figured HE'S the one in jail......we "My brothered" each other cuz I tild him about my new album Uncle Jesus and AUNTIE Christ...and he said

"You know my brother if you wanna take your pants off in the street and somebody says you CAN'T....then what they say is evil..and BANG BANK...." he mock shot two people with his hand shaped like a pistol...

I thot "No my brother...I think somehow we have to INCORPOORATE evil in......our." and caught myself arguing with this murderer and soon we parted but as I walked away there was this vast feeling of great peace came over me.....bt it took a strange form...as tho....Manson's a shark....300 million years of evolution and still abrain the size of a pee..dolphins are so much more to my liking..but these words slowly formed in my pre-neo-hip hop-notized brain...ya know,Biff..you don't have a habit of killing people....you have a habit of NOT killing people and you know how hard it is to break habits..."

Valerie Queen of the Monkees was waiting for me outside the courthouse.....Valerie was Lithuanina and had taught e how to say "It's been a long time since I've seen you..."

"Osh ten eye sah vay neh mah chow.."

Squeaky Fromme came up to where she and the "Family" were camped in a van out by the curb..holding a constant vigil for their hero.....weaving a jacket out of human hair I think...".

She looked me in the eyes searchingly.."Biff do you REALLY understand the needs of women?"

I looked at Valerie beside me to my right and turned back to Squeaky and said bluntly, defiantly...defensively

"Osh te eye sah vay neh mah chow"

because I didn't wanna risk giving the wrong answer to a member of the Manson family.....but I would NOT allow Squeaky to come between what was between me and my Queen of the Monkees....the heteroAURAL bond that twined us....

and I Replied: Well... Thanks for the Story... amazing those times... I had a girlfriend that was Hitchiking in LA and got picked up by members of the Manson Family... and they asked her to Join... but she declined... close call!

Biff Said: yeah..in the earliest of the early days in Laurel Canyon Neil Young was a fan of charlie manson's music....

and I Replied: and It's Quite possible that they were Great Songs! More than One Great Artist, Author or Singer/Songwrighter has been a Freak! This song was Covered by Guns and Roses... In My Opinion it's Not a Great Song... Kinda Standard for That Time...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncufspI_d60

I Said: My wife and I Planned to go to a Speech by Marshall Applewhite, founder of the Heaven's Gate Cult... But the City of San Jose Cancelled the Event at the Very Last Minute because many People Vanished at the Portland Event the Week Before... I guess they Joined and Didn't go home... and concerned people called the police to report missing persons... and when there were so many... they Police Called San Jose... to give 'em a Heads Up about the Danger...

It was a Free Talk about UFOs... Sure, That Sounds interesting...

Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does. When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It.

They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF! 

Oddly, I Expressed These Opinions during a Group Discussion at an Ecology Class at Humboldt State University and ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS SAID I WAS WRONG... They said that Used Stuff Still Requires Ecological Damage to Exist at All... I tried to explain that the Manufacturing Damage Happened IN THE PAST and it is impossible to Change History but Buying New Stuff CAUSES Purchasing Agents at Corporations to Hire People to Create New Stuff IN THE FUTURE to Fill the Shelves At The Store. No One Grasped the Concept. But I Did Make The Other Students Think. and That's a Good Thing. It's a difficult concept... I Wish I Could Explain it in a Shorter Sentence... Maybe YOU can Re-Write the Concept Better and Post it in the Comments Section... Thanks!

Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less. and... You Can Get More Stuff Per Dollar At The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop... or Your Own Store... Did You Know that There is a Fashion "Thing" where Corporations PRE-RIP Clothes? Intentionally Making Them LOOK USED! Really! They Hire People to Rub Jeans over Rough Surfaces to SIMULATE Wear and Tear of Normal Use... I'm Not Making This UP! All the Pathetic Dupes are Wearing Clothes Like That! On My Own Webstore... I Offer Hats that have been "Distressed" to look like they are Old... It's an Option... I wish I could write a Mocking Slogan Poking Fun at this Fashion Trend... Then I Could Sell a Hat with That Saying... Sort of like the Question: "Can You Imagine a World Without Hypothetical Situations?" or The Page that says: "This Page Is Left Blank Intentionally." A Cosmic Haiku Slogan... I do sell a Hat that says "PRESS" so people can wear it at Protest Marches and Avoid Being Bashed on the Head By The Police... I Do Not Really Know if It REALLY Helps Avoid Police Violence... I Do Know That People Made T-Shirts Saying "Backstage Pass - Shoreline Ampetheater - Bill Graham Productions" and Used them to sneak past Security Guards... I admire the Guy that Made a Sign that Says "This is a Sign." Was That Absurdist Theater or End Times Warning?

"Life is More Complex than a Slogan on a Hat."

SE SAID:

There is too much plastic in the world. Practically everything is packaged in plastic nowadays. Shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, vinegar, coffee, salad dressing, barbeque sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, hand lotion - these are just a few things I have here in my apartment which are packaged in plastic. Also, bottled water, soft drinks, and juices are bottled in plastic bottles...and of course we also have our plastic storage containers for food and other stuff. Plastic pretty much lasts forever, and it's lightweight and convenient, and those are some of the reasons why it's everywhere. But it's so bad for the environment. It ends up in the landfills where it doesn't degrade. Or worse, it ends up in the ocean. When you consider the fact that nearly everything is packaged in plastic all over the world, and plastic is filling up landfills and ending up in the ocean all over the world, it's really a problem. But I don't know what the solution is. Plastic is so convenient and lightweight, and if you drop it, it won't break, so people aren't going to want to go back to drinking soda out of glass bottles or bringing their lunch to work in a ceramic casserole dish rather than a plastic storage container. I don't know what the answer is.

I Replied: We can Make Plastic Out of Hemp.

I Oppose Small PLASTIC Containers for Single Servings of Food. Since We Already Have the Technology to Make Milk Cartons, WHY NOT use Waxed Paper for Cheese, Coffee, Yogurt and Sliced Ham? https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2019/06/i-oppose-small-plastic-containers-for.html

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!

and Then on Facebook I read This Long Story...

SE SAID: The main issue I have with buying clothes online is that you end up losing money when you have to return stuff, unless it happens to be one of the rare stores that allows free shipping on returns. But unfortunately, most stores make you pay for return shipping. I don't know how many other women have this problem, but for me, I rarely know exactly what size is going to fit me because sizing is all over the place now. Sometimes I fit a 2, and sometimes I fit a 6. Sometimes I fit a small, sometimes a medium, and sometimes a large. I almost never get it right on the first try. If I'm shopping at a brick-and-mortar store, I can take several sizes into a fitting room, try them on, and buy the one that fits...or, if I don't feel like doing that, I can buy them all, try them on at home, and then return the ones that didn't fit, and I don't lose any money in the process because nothing had to be shipped. But when you order online and you aren't sure which size is going to fit, you need to PAY to return the ones that didn't fit, so basically you're paying to try them on! Also, sometimes you love the look of an article of clothing, but after you try it on, you realize that it's unflattering on you, or it just doesn't look as good as you thought it would look, so you decide not to buy it. This process is free when you shop in person, but when you shop online, this process ends up costing money because you paid for the item, tried it on at home, decided you didn't like the way it looked, and now you get to PAY to send it back. If more and more clothing stores continue to disappear, and we are eventually forced to buy everything online, it would be really helpful if ALL clothing retailers would offer free shipping on returns so people can try stuff on without losing money when they return the stuff that doesn't work for them. Otherwise, they'd better allow us to continue to have brick-and-mortar clothing stores where we can try stuff on for free before we buy it. 

I'm having this issue right now, as a matter of fact. There's a dress I'm eyeing online, but I've never owned anything in that brand before, so I have no idea if I would fit the 4 or the 6, and it's an expensive dress, so I can't afford to buy 2 of them and pay to return the one that didn't fit, or to find out that it doesn't even look good on me in the first place, so then I have to pay to return it. I'm probably not going to buy it in the first place because it's just too big of a hassle if I can't try it on ahead of time for free.

CF SAID: Have you tried a subscription service? I really liked StitchFit. They set you up with a personal stylist who you can text pictures and things to. (I loved mine; we would just chat randomly and she sort of felt like a friend.) And return shipping is free, and they keep shopping until they've found you looks you'll love!

SE REPLIED: I did try Stitch Fix a few times. I liked the way it worked, but I only kept one of the items they sent me, a blouse which I like a lot. But most of their stuff was either too expensive or just didn't work for me for whatever reason. I think I prefer picking out my own stuff rather than having someone do it for me. It's an interesting concept, though, and I can see how it might work for others.

I Said: I also buy clothes online... Big and Tall refused to tell me what size I wear... They COULD Have Just Looked Up what was Ordered Last Time but NO... It was a Gift and The Giver's Privacy is Top Secret... So I Guessed, Guessed wrong and Simply Gave the Pants to a Guy Who Lives Here... I was too Lazy to Figure Out How to Return the Pants... HOWEVER... Online Shopping DOES HAVE MY SIZE and Most Brick and Mortar Stores Do Not... So It was a Great Step Forward when online Shopping was Invented! The Best Place to Shop is at the Thrift Store... I Love the Eureka Rescue Mission Store... Not only do I Get Great Used Clothes Cheap but I'm Employing Homeless People That Live at the Mission... AND... When You Buy New Clothes the Corporations Automatically Order More New Clothes to be Created... with Slave Labor and Pesticides in the Orient, Dyes That they Dump Right into the River... Diesel Fuel for the Boats to bring them Here from There... an Ecological Disaster... None of that Happens with Thrift Store Clothes... AND... If You Shop in a Rich Neighborhood, The Clothes that are Donated are Super-Duper! North Shore Lake Tahoe is Excellent... All Those Ski Bunnies would Rather Donate their Extra Clothes Than Pack in a Suitcase and Fly Home...
