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.

A tribute to my father

So, I guess most of you here know that my dad died back in January of complications of Parkinson's disease. There have been times that have been rough since then, but I'd think it's all part of the process, so to speak.Today was Remembrance Sunday…Continue

It actually got chilly here.

Wonderful weather.

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on October 7, 2012 at 10:15am: That sounds just like what I would have done, Joan. Sorry I misunderstood.

Ian, that's kinda gruesome. The cow pig picture is cute all by itself.

Thanks, Tony. I didn't know about world animal day either.

Comment by Steph S. on October 6, 2012 at 11:59am: Hugs to you all too - thanks Ruth!

I missed "World Animal Day"? How could I do such a thing. I'll post about the day in my Wildlife group when I get back.

Comment by Joan Denoo on October 6, 2012 at 11:12am: I need to clarify one thing about the calico cats. I had each one spayed after their first litter, kept the calico baby and when they proved to not be good mothers I had them spayed and that went on for three or four generations. No disinterested mother had a second litter. Thus, Calico I, II, III. So, I never had more than two mother cats and her kittens, and on a military base, with people moving in and out all the time, there was a lot of demand for cats. I don't know about dogs. We didn't have a mice problem, and cats even took care of the scorpions and spiders for us. I could never understand how a cat could eat a poisonous spider, but they did.

Comment by Idaho Spud on October 6, 2012 at 10:35am: Interesting story Joan.

Comment by Tony Carroll on October 6, 2012 at 5:55am: Happy World Animal Day!

It was October 4. A couple days late, but still, everybody have a good day. Heading to work. See ya later.
