Can somebody explain the songs and songbook obsession?

by careful in

i've been out a while and have only put in a rare appearance at a memorial or brief visit at a convention/assembly to keep people off my back, so i haven't kept up on the songbook.

but one thing i've noticed that the org.

has been doing that they never did when i was in is all these "supplemental songs" that keep appearing.

New "most frustratingly addictive game ever" to play - agar.io

by Simon in

one of my kids got me hooked on this.

it's incredibly simple but also kind of fun and addictive.. you start as a small cell and need to eat things to grow.

that's pretty much the game.. of course as you get bigger you can eat smaller cells too ... and bigger ones can eat you.. as you get bigger you get slower but you can "eject mass" to shrink and speed you up (w key).

Was now at level 4 - "Swoosh" is my name, but after swarming out I was eaten up instantly. Oh sh* Obama hunted me.

i haven't been on here for so long.

peeking in to say hello.

any old friends here?

Hi, I dont know you. Fine you are here.

I once, many years ago used the profil name "True fromearth2" at H2O, at that time I wasnt yet ready to write much either listened. I thought how wonderful that there is a place to meet in internet.

Now I am here again, but I keep my face anonymous mostly because I am afraid that somebody of the "parallel word" could recognize me, althought that would be quite unlikely and I was never any highranker in that parallel org only a seeker of elysium. I like to have some secrets too. ;-)

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE BUTTERFLY

**things you never knew.

about the butterfly.

next time you are in a sunlit meadow.

However metamorphosis evolved, the enormous numbers of metamorphosing insects on the planet speak for its success as a reproductive strategy. The primary advantage of complete metamorphosis is eliminating competition between the young and old. Larval insects and adult insects occupy very different ecological niches. Whereas caterpillars are busy gorging themselves on leaves, completely disinterested in reproduction, butterflies are flitting from flower to flower in search of nectar and mates. Because larvas and adults do not compete with one another for space or resources, more of each can coexist relative to species in which the young and old live in the same places and eat the same things. Ultimately, the impetus for many of life's astounding transformations also explains insect metamorphosis: survival.

words my father never spoke.

"the last time i saw wes he was standing over your baby bed reciting something from--oh, i don't know--shakespeare or the old testament.

then, he leaned down to kiss you instead of picking you up.

Thank you very much for taking me for a ride on your dramatic journey. It was like i was in that city bus from the East Baltimore heading downtown on a freshy bitumized Evans Ave. in those early 50's. More than once i was thrilled on the west slope.

It was like I myself was in that bus, I felt like I had already got on the bus at that Morning Side Elementary school after a school day on that day and had seen you and your Maw Maw got on, then watched you sitting in the rear and had heared you chatting with those friendly "darked skinned". I wonder if i had "hate-stared" too, but perhaps I sat in the midst of the bus and could hear what you told about.

A story reached my ears while I sat there, the white woman told about SCHMOO a wonderful little boy who developped splendid talents in remembering difficult things with an eidetic memory, what would have astonished them and how she was proud about your grades after you returned again home, you was happy to be at home again.

How could he only remember those long chains of numbers, they asked, and then she explained to them how you converted numbers into names to memorize constantly, because she saw you doing it.

The women could have joked, "if he is a little Shmoo, perhaps he even memorizes all the names of our streets the Marion, Ramsey, Mulkey, Powell Harvey Ave. from here up till the Red Water River and Wichita Falls, someday and become president or a famous author".

You would have looked shy but you certainly have had some secrets in you like the Shmoo of the legend"
And I would have looked on my latest bad average grades and would have been envious hearing of your memorizing talents and your courage sitting there in the rear inmidst of these coloured.

Didnt one of the Shmoos grow up and become Barbapapa in the late 60's? Dont know.

But one thing is sure, we here your readers, you catched me ...

"I m a Shmoo".
