i LOVE youtube! (me!) sandra, topps, writeousmom

 for so many different reasons, i struggle to organize and begin..

will jump in here:  my writing to date will indicate, show, i have the desire, and will take the time to individually, privately & publicly, say "thank you!" to people i am grateful to; and for..

where this does not take place, is all the people..  MANY, MANY PEOPLE, on youtube, who have helped me accomplish this or that..

from putting in (assembly very much required); the 2nd ice-maker on our new refrigerator

to un-doing the -all-the-sudden-how-did-it-even-happen? switch on our jeeps odometer; which was miles, by default..  but,  -WTH-    was suddenly, unexpectedly, kilometers, or some other totally unfamiliar measurement system when we got in to drive for an errand one day..   both us, were like, "i didn't change it..  did you change it?"    -we still don't know how it changed.. just that it did, and we wanted to put it back to miles..       to look through the instructions book, and try to match our vocabulary with theirs..  search the index...   etc.,   -forget it.   but, hop on youtube.com, speak in your native tongue..   "how do we get our odometer for our jeep back to miles?"

and, you can choose from a variety of very kind people, who will "SHOW! & tell" how to fix it.

this is also, a dream come true!  a million answered prayers.. 

the community of youtube how-to people reminds me, reminds us, of everything that is write with the world!    -now, we share here:  shortest video is usually gonna win..     we just want to solve the problem..    so, "thank you!" for cutting to the chase.  you are an enormous blessing!

and, when i recently hand-created the state flower for every state in the USA..  for our yard art; i did know i wanted to paint foil as my medium for the sculpting itself; but i had no idea, for many of the flowers, like,  how to create them; capture the look.. the shape

"thank you!" again, because i could type in,  beginner, how to create a blue bonnet..   /and, i could usually find an example, using paper, not foil, but i could get the essence of what i needed to do..

i did not take the time to write down each persons name, document which video i clicked on and learned from..

    -by the way! i accidentally came across a 'history of my youtube visits'   -so, it is documented somewhere..    but, i wanted to devote my energy to the creative project at hand, and not to writing a review or personal "thank you!" to each and every person..    let this be it!  "thank you!"

i love youtube for its democracy!  -that is, for a large part of my life, tv & paper journalist were the gatekeepers, if you will..     if it wasnt there..  it wasnt at all.   youtube gave the everyday person a platform..   gave direct access to celebrities; not celebrities' through the filter of..    not politicians 'through the filter of..."   -direct access..

and, same for singers/song writers, actors, creators of so many types..   post it; yourself.  

love it, love it, love youtube for family videos!  a place family, from geographically separated places, can go and visit at will to enjoy & re-enjoy favorite family videos..

i love it, for its cloud.   -so, even if your original home pictures/videos are destroyed; lost; damaged; they can still be accessed.

i love it  -and [prisoner of hope] will have more of our family videos, edited, transferred, format-fixed.. and uploaded to..

we do not have youtube TV..  but we hear great things about..

and,  -the baby conversation videos, pet videos..  capturing the most engaging, entertaining, precious, sweet, touching, hilarious moments in people's lives..   

again, reminds me, reminds us..  of everything that's going write in the world..   

"thank you!"   we love & appreciate you!   everyone who contributes to the platform; everyone contributing to the valuable content on the platform..

hallelujah! selah! & amen!
