Perhaps the first time I heard the term, meme, was on the old TV show. Inside the Actor's Studio, when during his interview of actors, James Lipton would work in the following questions, the answers to which always seemed to exaggerate the spread between genuine candor and maintaining the hyped image. I like meme's despite their me-me-me aspect, or, if you're like me in valuing the uniqueness of the individual over willingness to conform to external authority, because of the work meme's do to help one find ones forsaken self under the mindless conformity demanded by western culture taken on faith and fear of punishment.

If you must bring up this mythical terminology: this IS Heaven being made to seem to be Hell by people running around worrying about just such mythical improbabilities as their main concern as if life were one big report card from the big Santa in the sky that pre-adolescent mankind still believes in.
I realized that although it was at least twenty years ago that I used to watch this TV show, or any other for that matter, Google's spell check still doesn't recognize the word, meme.

Hi Minxy,
Thanks for considering my blog shelter from the norm.
Heh - "shelter from the norm" - could be a hit song!
Who is Norm, anyway?
If you will forgive me - I noted the disharmony in the comments of your last post. It made me sad. We` are all crumbs from the big chocolate cake - maybe our ingredients are just a little different. I wish you both love and light for the season and may your God, Goddess, Spirit, Energy or Life Ethos be with you.
merry christmas, g&g!

Thanks for the good wishes, from my favorite blogging foxes, "bloxes??"
Better than flogs or fogs.
Not to worry, Minx, my daughter and I are digging deep to help each other heal the rift of living apart since she was four, forty years ago. It reminds me of grafting fruit trees, the bark must be removed where the blending is to occur. OMG I AM Chauncy Gardener!;°}

Welcome home, it's been a while, though you've never really been gone, of course.
Absolullah, I looked up your favorite word to check out its agreement with my favorite sound, while my favorite word could describe your favorite sound if you took waves to be the threshold of the sea. Sweet.
Taking your, Minx's and my favorite word gives quite a picture of sensuality — murmering quiver at the threshold! How fun. Unique love in the sunshine
Trees and waves, G&G, they both work equally well for me - all slivers of nature's sensuality :-)
