What does love mean?
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 and deeper than anyone could have
imagined. See what you think:

"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."

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

and they go out and smell each other."

without making them give you any of theirs."

you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss."

you hate."

You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a
contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
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."
So yesterday had dinner with the famdam. It was Mom, Bob, Chris, Nate, Suzanne and Me. We went to Maggio's in Revere... Then I got dropped off at the mall (felt like I was 12 all over again) to meet up with Manda + Alpo at Old Navy.. decided to get drinks at Famous Dave's. Yummy-rific drinks. Rob Q was there but was choosing to pretend he didn't see us, so whatev. After that we were gonna play cards at my house, but instead ended up watching Stand Up on OnDemand. Flippin' sweet.
Slept very late today. YAY. Had some waffles and eggs with Chris for breakfast... Hung around, showerred and got ready and then out with Alpo + Manda. Went to Papa Gino's.. I had cheesy breadsticks for lunch. Yummmy. Waited around for awhile to make a decision as to what to do next. Then decided to go to Fanueil Hall and walk around. After we all went to our designated homes and got warmer clothing, we then decided it looked like it was going to rain. So thhhhhhen we decided to go to Movies N More- Movie Gallery.. WHATEV Ran into Gianna outside. Manda bought 4 movies. One of which was The Longest Yard, which we watched at MandaKay's house. It was quite funny - I liked it. I like Adam Sandler, anyways. After that we did OnDemand Karaoake. WOOT! Talk about FUN TIMES! LoL. I love being us. Anyways, we then all got ready to go out for our evening to ONeill's. Manda and I got TB and Alpo went home, since we were both ready. I was telling Manda how it's so weird how I am so used to like crazy shit always happening to us. Also, I was saying that our Clay Aiken friend we haven't seen in awhile. Turns out, I was forseeing the future. Hahahaha.
It was an interesting nite at ONeill's. Ran into John Kurkle. WICKED random. I swear I walked by the Clay Aiken look alike guy, and I went back to tell Manda and she's like YEA I SAW HIM TOO. So it must have been him, too bad I didn't see him again or else I would've said hello at least. Then the hoochie mama who I think was trying to pick me up. Wearing a shirt that said "I LIKE BOYS" (in bold) "and girls too" (in small italics underneath) .. Then with the shorty guy who came and danced in the middle of us and took Alpo's cowboy hat and put it on his crotch region ... And then with the fat, old, (and I think semi retarded?) guy who wanted to dance with us. I said THREE STRIKES and we're out.. so we left soon after that. I couldn't handle much more. Then I came home to get my Phase 10 cards to go to Dunks, and I found a piece of wood on my steps from Jommy.. hahahaha.. Then went to Dunks where we played Phase 10. Saw the Romero's Mom. LoL. Then saw a guy with a ROCKIN mullet who told us we were up late and to go to bed.
WTF!? My life is insane. LoL.
Alrighty, it's umm. SIX AM .. So I am gonna go pass out.. hahaha
