Hang With Friends

Come on in, pull up a chair!

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.

Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.

Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.

This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.

A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.

Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Comment by James M. Martin on July 1, 2012 at 3:02pm: Ian, Ian, don't get me started on another pet peeve. The more loudly they proclaim their Christeranity the more likely they don't know what it means or suspect they might not really believe it at all. Like little girls, beliefs are supposed to be seen, not heard, by which I mean actions speak louder than words.

Comment by booklover on July 1, 2012 at 10:47am: Pretty picture Steph! We saw good fireworks @ the trap-shooting (clay discs, not animals!) club that my husband belongs to. We had a nice time and we were all together! I love that my almost 18 year-old and my 20 year old like to be with us! :) Have a wonderful 4th!

Comment by Steph S. on July 1, 2012 at 10:43am: Happy 4th of July US members.

Have a great week to the non US members not celebrating 4th of July.

Anyone doing anything fun?

Comment by sk8eycat on July 1, 2012 at 1:46am: I'm getting irritated: "Tea Party, "Tebow".... sounds too much like my favorite beverage.

Guess I'll have to go back to Coca Cola. Does anybody else remember Imogene Coca?

Comment by Ian Mason on July 1, 2012 at 1:29am: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others." Matthew 6:5

Comment by Patricia on June 30, 2012 at 11:47pm: Ohhhhh the revolting teebow!!!!

Comment by sk8eycat on June 30, 2012 at 11:02pm: @Lillie: Thee is an unauthorized biography of El Ron (I forget the author's name) titled Bare-Faced Messiah. He said so many times that founding a religion was the easiest way to become a millionaire in the USA. He was right. It was certainly more lucrative than writing pulp fiction, which is how he started out. I think his WWII military record is mostly fiction.

As for Tebow...that self-righteous, arrogant S.O.B....I wish smoke, or some kind of vapor would pour out of his ears while he's doing his act in public so that the whole world can see what's really happening....

Actually, I'd like to see that happen to everybody who gets their jollies by praying in public.

Comment by Chris Dodds on June 30, 2012 at 9:00pm: @ Lillie Fleur Yeah, you'd think that a guy would have more sense than to get down on one knee and close his eyes in the middle of a field where a bunch 200 lb guys wearing helmets, body armor, and cleats are running around.

Comment by Lillie on June 30, 2012 at 8:48pm: Have been watching the Olympic trials all of this week and god is very popular among the athletes. Some even do a Tim Tebow. (I am so sick of Tim Tebow. I am hoping New York will take the wind out of his sails.)

Comment by Lillie on June 30, 2012 at 8:39pm: Apparently, Scientology begins indoctrinating kids at age 5 so this must have motivated Katie to make the break at this time. She was raised Catholic so it is a wonder she joined Scientology in the first place. Of course, they are both big on fantasy.
