It was a cold and dingy winter day as I sat in front of my computer and had second thoughts. Second thoughts of what you may ask? Second thoughts if I should really open a room for playing games with so many already available. The wind whistled through the naked branches outside and the snow was piling high on the lawn outside my window. The cold of winter was soon removed by the warm thought of a small group of friends getting together to laugh, play games, and just enjoy one anothers company. I quickly clicked my mouse and reached out for some much needed encouragement and there it was being heaped upon me from all corners of the globe. People, having the same vision as myself, encouraged me as in the now infamous words of one, "BUILD IT THEY WILL COME." I laughed at the thought as I was ready to tell them they should take up movie writing. We talked Idly for a bit and before I knew what had happened we were sitting in a room. Looking up I saw it was called, "FUN, GAMES and More." My heart raced as I thought to myself, "WHAT HAVE I DONE?" The core group talked and came up with a plan of what we wanted and before we knew it people we did not know wwere coming in the room and staying. Soon simple games like, TRIVIA, PASSWORD, SPEED TRIVIA and NAME THAT TUNE were underway. They must have heard the laughter in the hallway of lag as more and more people came to the room and it was not long before I had to scroll to see the whole list. My heart was warmed just like the fire crackling in my fireplace warmed my room. There was my plan in front of me and I finally realized it. A ROOM WHERE EVERYONE COULD AND WOULD FEEL WELCOME, ACCEPTED, AND BE ABLE TO SIT AND RELAX without the worry of evil admin bouncing them out of the room. Day by day went by and it was not long before the room, under much hard work of the managers of the room, seemed to be growing by leaps and bounds. We watched the numbers grow 10, 20, 30, 40 higher and higher they went. Soon the days turned into nights and nights turned into days and days back into nights as one day blended into another. The snow had melted and the grass was green and they still were coming to the room to enjoy the family atmosphere that we had built. Over the days, weeks, months and year that has passed many people, from all walks of life, have found a home in this room. Some say I am responsible but the true reason is this. The people that have come and gone laying the frame work, those that have come and stayed, those here now and those that will come have made an internet family stronger than a lot of families in real life. A family that has spanned miles with a comforting word in time of need, a caring hand in time of trouble, a shoulder to listen to unsteady words of pain that have filtered across the internet. Yes! You the eoomies and administrators, past and present who have built this room to such great heights are the ones that need to stand and take a bow, not me. Though I am the proprietor of this establishment it is each and every one of you that have built it. I have no doubt it will go upward and onward after I have slipped off into the sunset and many others have pulled up stakes and moved on. Remember each and everyone of us is replaceable and yet each and everyone of us will always be remembered for what we have done.
This page is opened for all of those that have built, are building and will build FUN, GAMES and More into what it is today and what it will become in the future. ANYONE who wishes to post something on this page just need email it to the address provided below and it will take its rightful place. There is a lot of creativity in this room and now maybe some of it will be shared with and by others.

On goes the switch, out comes the mouse
a right click here, a left click there
a double click if need be
i wonder where its taking me.
It knows where its going
seems to know just what to do
im resting my hand on its back
only takes minutes and we are in
ready again for fun to begin.
My mouse and me have done it again
we have completed our journey today
arrived to see all our friends
were here, YIP YIP HOORAY.
It a place where all are welcome
a place we all want to stay
of warmth, caring and fun
with friends we have all come to know
from different places, a different shore
can only be one place
FUN, GAMES AND MORE.
As soon as you enter this great room
all your friends are there
saying hello to you, your family now
we care and have respect
the hours just slip away unknown
the admins have the helm
scores in the banner ticking along
sometimes we're right, somtimes wrong.
It a room of contentment
of peace, friendship and fun
its the room where we all love to be
I thank you from my heart
for excepting me to your family.

Every night we gather
Where we are from
Does not matter
A diverse group?
Yes, we are.
But everyone is treated fairly and like a star.
Old friends and new
Are greeted with hugs and smiles
Between our family
There are no miles.
So to you my friends..old and new
I'm happy to be here with you
I'm looking forward to many more years
To Fun Games and more.....I say...cheers!
Love all of you...... Eastie
Losing A Friend
Bashful_Guy posted August 19, 2003
Hello to you, my cherished friend
It seems that we have reached the end
of everything that we have known
That friendship, once so quickly grown
has lately seemed to wilt and die
It makes me think that maybe I
have hurt you with a careless word
Or maybe something you have heard
from someone else has made you see
I'm not the one I seemed to be
If that's the case then you should not
let others tell you what you've got
If you would only come to me
then maybe I could make you see
There is no need to go away
and maybe I could make you stay
'Cause if you leave , there'll be a space
with no one else to take your place
So, hello to you, my cherished friend
I hope that this is not the end
We Need a Cure Motherless 8/10/03
Each time the phone rings,
we earn another dollar.
With each dollar we earn,
we become one step closer to a cure.
There should be a day when we,
should not have to say "CF".
There should be day when we,
should not have to answer these phones.
There needs to be a day when we,
can prouldy say "we have found a cure."
Until then please make these phones ring.

FLY AWAY LITTLE BUTTERFLY
Fly away little butterfly
So beautiful and free
You live the kind of life
That I would love to be
Fly away little butterfly
Colors of yellow and of blue
Wouldn't it be so nice
To be as lovely as you
Fly away little butterfly
As graceful as can be
Your life is so unknown
To humans just like me
Fly away little butterfly
So everyone else can see
The beauty that God gave you
A life, so gentle and free
Mother Goose is Sick
Wee Willie Winkie came to call
Said, "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!"
And then the clock struck 1 and the mouse ran away
Poor little Mary's lamb went astray
Then Jack fell down and broke his crown
And the Three Blind Mice ran to town
To let Jill know of Jack's ill fate
Only to find her with another date
And the Three Little Pigs met their match
When the Wolf cought them in the berry patch
He patted them and pricked them and marked them with a B
Then he gobbled them up 1,2,3
Jack be nimble Jack be quick
Mother Goose land is really sick!
Gather all the kings horses and all the kings men
Spread the word as gast as you can!
Star light star bright I wish upon your star tonight
I wish I may I wish I might that Mother Goose land will be allright

Across The Miles Of Friendship
I sit and ponder how it could be
The world be made so small and brought to me
People from all walks of life I meet
Each as a friend I so proudly greet
Many are quiet and sit to observe
Waiting for the calming of their nerve
A simple word a conversation does start
Many times of which I have been part
An unknown person one day I met
A quick hello was all at first I did get
A warmness in their heart I found
As against others not one evil sound
Peace among all is all they did seek
Friendship and joy is of what they do speak
Their brightness brought to our room a glow
Their kindness to others they always let flow
A helping hand outward they would reach
So others in need they could quickly teach
To a life's commitment they may go away
Yet hopefully return to our family one day
Never a complaint from them did I hear
Their life with me for a moment they did share
I understood the reasons that they gave
As commitments, she honored all they did have
My thoughts of them come to me now and again
I pray for the safety of them, my new found friend
One day I will smile when upon my screen
A message from them is finally once again seen
Until then I will only in heart-felt say
A friend to me you will always stay
So when you close your eyes for sleep at night
Let your body be cleansed of all fright
Sleep in peace deep inside your soul
While only happy memories through you flow

A TRIVIA TALE
by:Melnic
A long long time Lag ago way up in the SUNNY SOUTH on top of a TALL CLIFFY MOUNTAIN called DREAMER lived a BABYGIRL called AZTEC. She was a good girl with a ANGEL HEART and she loved to play and read trivia games. Then one night at 12 o clock she heard a SOFT WHISPER outside her door and started to laugh “OH its only you RICKY THE RACOON, come in and share some YUMMY warm CHERRY PIE. After their midnight snack Ricky said “ Thank you it’s time for me to go UPRIVER and buy a FAWNIE POOHBEAR suit in TENNESSEE .After a while Aztec decided to go visit MARGURITA . Margurita was enjoying the time with Aztec until she couldn’t stand it any longer “GRRRRRR, what’s that smell”. “ OHHH sorry that’s just my dawg TEQUILLA’S BREATH, this made Aztec feel very BASHFUL. Eventually Marg and Az went for a walk to the park and saw some morning GLORY “ HEY” Aztec said “these smell like SWEET KIWI fruit .Soon they met some other friends and invited them around. KIMBY said “WOOHOO a party” Eventually COWGIRL and JILLAROO hid BUNDYGIRLS rum and bought the FARM from THE_COW_WHISPERER. GRANNIE said “it’s time to call it a night everybody’s just ROMEINGAROUND”. JILL got on her HONDA and left for the CORRAL reef waving goodbye to the NICEGUY in the corner, “ you are a really XXTRASPECIAL group” she said
THE END >
