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 Ruth Anthony-Gardner on July 21, 2012 at 12:25am: I beg to differ on that last item, Joan. Sometimes one event does lead to harmful consequences, such as detonating a nuclear device or shooting a baby. If by one event you mean a class of actions, as gay marriage isn't just a single event, how about a law banning women from appearing in public without wearing a burka or the death penalty for blasphemy?

Comment by Joan Denoo on July 21, 2012 at 12:24am: Patricia, I thought the pair were fitting to go with my arrogant statement. Arrogant? yes, what I believe? yes. I am getting too old to try to get a responsible conversation going with the list I presented. I'll just have to learn to live with "arrogant".

Comment by Steph S. on July 21, 2012 at 12:23am: Oh you are talking about the movie massacre during the Batman movie in Colorado - well I am still listening to news reports about it.

Comment by Patricia on July 21, 2012 at 12:13am: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH ALL THIS SHOOTING???!!!!!!

Comment by Patricia on July 20, 2012 at 11:55pm: The owls are priceless Joan!!!!

Comment by booklover on July 20, 2012 at 10:24pm: That is hysterical Tony! Brenden is quick! Good job! ~ Melinda

Comment by Tony Carroll on July 20, 2012 at 9:38pm: Yeah Patricia. It was great. Oh, his name is Brenden. Wonderful son, even if I have to say so.

Comment by Patricia on July 20, 2012 at 9:35pm: Nice shot Tony's son....hahaha!!!!!!

Comment by Tony Carroll on July 20, 2012 at 9:30pm: I just have to share. My son, daughter-in-law, and I went to supper tonight. A nice steak place. Anyhoo, a large group of 8 seated after us. We were already eating, and so were other tables. When this group received their food, one of the men said 'let's pray'. Was a generic type bless this, bless that yada yada, However my son pointed something out to me. All the other people in our area had stopped eating and bowed their heads, even the waitress. We, of course, kept on eating. After the amen, my son looked at me and said 'I only got one thing to say. Thank god'. I broke down laughing, and so did he. Couldn't stop. Still chuckling thinking about it.
