YouTube Newbie

I have discovered YouTube! Actually, someone sent me something from his YouTube account and that's how I learned of it.

When I googled for Halloween stuff today (I was looking for a music file of '5 Little Pumpkins'), I came across some videos from YouTube. Kareema helped me set up an account and collect some of the Halloween related videos. Go to http://www.youtube.com/user/sofieonecrow
to see what I collected, if you like Halloween things. A couple of the videos have some things in them that young children probably ought not see (death of a happy little pumpkin, a flasher jack-o-lantern, something else I can't remember just now) but otherwise, they're entertaining.

Back to the collective noun for pumpkin-shaped candy buckets: how about 'a patch of pumpkin buckets?' Or, 'a squash of pumpkin buckets?'

Meaningful Quotes

"We are displaced by time."

-Marian Marshall Suplee Griest, late (first) mother-in-law, spoken to me in January 1994, in a dream after her death.

"We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen." - D. H. Lawrence (via Whiskey River, 8-22-2014)

"There is something scary about letting ourselves
go. It means that we will screw up, that we will relinquish the possibility of perfection. It means that we will say things we didn't mean to say and express feelings we can't explain. It means that we will be onstage and not have complete control, that we won't know what we're going to play until we begin,
until the bow is drawn across the strings.

While this spontaneous method might be frightening, it's also an extremely valuable source of creativity. The lesson about letting go is that we contain our own creativity. We are so worried about playing the wrong note or saying the wrong thing that we end up with nothing at all." - Jonah Lehrer (via Whiskey River, 10/22/2014)
