Willie Geist - rec if you think he should be the new Today Show host

By now everybody probably knows that Matt Lauer is out after 20+ years as the host of NBC's iconic Today Show.

So who's going to replace Matt Lauer? Maybe Willie Geist, who has been a frequent fill-in host while Matt or somebody else was out on vacation. Also he's been a regular on MSNBC for several years. Maybe Willie deserves the nod to be the permanent replacement on Today?

Rec if you think YES - or post your suggestion below.

My friend keeps sending me her "forwarded" thingies

Here's an example, she send me this stuff all the time:

-----------------------------

WE ALL GET OLD IN THE END...

I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.

Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.

You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body..

I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.

I decided to stop calling the bathroom the “John” and renamed it the “Jim”. I feel so muchbetter saying I went to the Jim this morning.

Old age is coming at a really bad time. When I was a child I thought “Nap Time" was a punishment. Now, as a grownup, it feels like a small vacation.

The biggest lie I tell myself is..."I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."

I don't have gray hair; I have "wisdom highlights." I'm just very wise.

Teach your daughter how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.

If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.

Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice.

At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.

Actually I'm not complaining cuz I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later.
I don’t have to go to school or work.
I get an allowance every month.
I have my own pad.
I don’t have a curfew.
I have a driver’s license and my own car.
The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant.
And I don’t have acne.

Life is great. I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names.

------------------------

So she's a good friend and I don't want to insult her by asking her to stop sending them.

Cutest kids tell what does love mean to them?

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.
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.'

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
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'If you want to learn to love better , you should start with a friend who you hate. '

Nikka - age 6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'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.'

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'

About FakeNoose

Hey DU friends! Baby boomer here. I became a voter in 1972 when I turned 21, and I've been voting regularly ever since. For a long time I remained independent - always voting for Dem candidates. However that changed in 2008 when I wanted to vote for Hillary Clinton for President. But I live in Pennsylvania where we have closed elections, and my only chance to vote for Hillary was in the Dem primary. So I joined the Democratic Party in 2008, voted for Hillary, and I've never looked back. Barack Obama won the primary in Pennsylvania, as ell as most other states, and I supported him in the general election. It was a different story in 2016 .... You'll never convince me that Chump didn't CHEAT his way into the White House. The worst 4 years in the history of our country ensued, 2017 to 2020, and the first few days of 2021. We all lived through it and i don't need to explain it now. My goal is to make sure that Chump NEVER gets elected to ANYTHING again. Not even Dogcatcher of West Palm Beach FL. Whether he goes to prison is not up to me - but he must be CONVICTED of his crimes and PREVENTED from running for office again. Better yet - he should be in prison or six-feet-under. You get me? I love the cooperation, optimism and can-do spirit of Democratic Underground. We're a community of liberal-minded Americans and we know how to share our stories constructively and pro-actively. Let's all pitch in and get this job done. There has never been a more important election that right now, this year. Democrats everywhere MUST WIN. Joe Biden must win FOUR MORE YEARS!
