What may be just another ho-hum day at the beach to you is often the best day of their lives to others.
I don't know why exactly but I like helping special needs kids (sometimes, an adult or two). The smiles are all the reward one could ask for in…More »

Life Rolls On..."Instilling in people that life with Spinal Cord Injuries, indeed, rolls on."

"Alright, ya bastards!" I yelled while chambering a round into the big 50cal mounted amidships. "Line it up and look sharp...NOW!" We were going to have some fun one way or the other.
The US military is often shrouded in secrecy in what they do and…More »

(562) 595-0081
Categories:
Art Galleries,
Jazz & Blues,
Music Venues,
Performing Arts
This was my first event, my first First Friday, I'll try not to be frumpy, furry or freaky, just frank.
As with any local community event, it takes the support of everyone for any success and that's especially true when attempts are made to improve…More »
9. The Queen Mary
Maxim magazine: "So, Ms Z, what's your favorite room aboard the QM?"
Ms Z: "That's easy, the Observation Bar. It's so stylishly art deco, so intimate, so richly appointed and offers a magnificent view. And if they have a band, it just makes the whole…More »
10. World War II Submarine Memorial - West
What makes someone want to volunteer to step into a metal can and live underwater for weeks on end? Who are these sailors that dedicate their lives to defending our nation from deep below cold dark waters unseen by all save those with deadly intent…More »
11. Veteran's Memorial
Torrance, CA 90503
Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Torrance
It's very small, so small that if you blink once, you'll pass it without a second thought. But if you visit Torrance City Hall, for whatever reason, even if you must face the judge, take a moment to reflect on these gentle heroes left behind.
Lest we…More »
12. Save Our Beach
"Quietly Changing Our World"
King Leonidas had his 300 to help in the heroic defense of the land, I have my 300 to Yelp in defense of the sand. It's called Save Our Beach and while Leonidas and his stalwart few held back the assaults of tens of…More »

Los Angeles, CA 90049
(310) 268-4675
Category:
Funeral Services & Cemeteries

Such a sobering, somber sight...these white marble headstones lined up perfectly, row after row, aisle after aisle, acre after acre...thousands and thousands of them...small tablet reminders of the brevity of life.
I'm taken to introspection here as…More »

14. Thanksgiving Day
This should be my oddest review to date. I've promised myself I won't get too political, historical, emotional or silly, so this will be my most difficult yelp yet.
My 100th review just happens to coincide with Thanksgiving. Call it Karma, corny or a…More »
15. VA Medical Center Spinal Injuries Ward
One might glean from some of my earlier reviews that I am a volunteer. I am and always will be. Since adulthood, I always have been. My personal belief is that there is nothing more rewarding than volunteering for a need to help others. And that…More »
16. Vietnam Veterans Memorial
My fingers run smoothly over the cold, black granite touching the names etched to honor the dead from that hideous war, Vietnam. Each name I touch of someone I knew brings a wave of pain and tears. It's as if I'm touching them, their faces, their…More »
17. Summer's End
Help me hold back this summer's end
The time I met my Yelping friend.
Who could've foreseen what was to be
With every reply to a PM "Send"?
Tara & Mona (RIP), Karen K, Elise, Terry C., and Yudy,
A spectrum-wide impact despite all the noobies.
Who could've…More »
18. Surfrider Foundation
We all, every single one of us, owe it to ourselves and our children to give back to the world we live in a little love. And unlike those who would accuse me of confusing sex with love based on many of my reviews, I am talking about compassion, not…More »
19. Harbor Free Clinic
Why do we volunteer?
I don't have an answer to that profound question. Everyone who volunteers does it for their own reason. Mine started off selfishly enough. My chosen profession would benefit from a knowledge of drugs and so I came to volunteer as…More »
20. State Dept - Passport Agency
The only investigator left to monitor my conservation activities is probably the only one to have noticed I deleted my earlier review of LA Passport Agency.
Why would I do that? Well, they've apparently improved their vile, despicable ways and my…More »

You Get What You Give
Why do we give? I give because of greed. Funny, huh? When I give something away, I feel good. I get a little rush out of it. It's the appreciation that someone more needy than myself might use it, enjoy it, or have a need for it.…More »
