Love...
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 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 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 when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.' 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
'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
'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image!) Karen - age 7
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.'

Should kids be vaccinated?
Skeptics of vaccinating children are likely to point out that covid-19 deaths among children are rare. This is true:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 226 children under age 18 have died from the disease. Most had some type of medical condition that put them at risk. 23 percent were obese and 12 percent had diabetes.
A study from FAIR Health of approximately half the nation’s private insurance data found that children without chronic conditions had a covid-19 mortality rate of zero.
A large meta-analysis in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases found kids are less likely to be the source of household outbreaks. There was not a single reported case of viral transmission from child to teacher in a study of 90,000 school children in North Carolina during the pandemic,
Preventing covid-19 in kids could also mean preventing disability from long covid is just a theory. Though it appears to be less common in children than in people in their 30s and 40s, there’s still a lot we don’t know.
So why are we vaccinating these youngester is they are not affected by the disease. The vaccine is not approved yet. It is under Emergency Use Only
Just a thought.

Russia, China and many other countries we are spying on them and they are spying on us.
A report released by the group WikiLeaks, suggested NSA spying on Merkel and her staff had gone on far longer and more widely than previously realized. WikiLeaks said the NSA targeted for long-term surveillance 125 phone numbers of top German officials.
The release risks renewing tensions between Germany and the United States a month after they sought to put a row over spying behind them, with U.S. President Barack Obama declaring in Bavaria that the two nations were “inseparable allies”.
From a Mile...
When will Gov. Andrew Cuomo start listening to the science, as he tells everyone else to do? By ignoring new warnings by two key experts, he’s adding to New Yorkers’ suffering — especially the poor and people of color.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that beginning May 19, New York State will adopt the CDC's "Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People" for most business and public settings.
Pre-K to 12 schools, public transit, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, nursing homes, and healthcare settings will continue to follow State's existing COVID-19 health guidelines until more New Yorkers are fully vaccinated.
So we are following the science from a mile away. Just a thought.
