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.

1. If I ever needed more evidence of the overcommercialization of Christmas, I was at SA today and they're already selling hte Reese's peanut butter cups shaped like Christmas Trees.
2. Why is the server for this site so slow?

Comment by Joan Denoo on October 8, 2012 at 1:59pm Patricia, I just looked through your photo album and you have a lovely family of cats sharing your home. I look forward to seeing the before and after of your remodel.
Comment by Patricia on October 8, 2012 at 1:22pm Thanks Steph. Renovations were what my husband chose to do with his inheritance. We did the bathroom/kitchen several years ago, & I have the before & afters of the kitchen in my files on the main pc. The rest of the house hasn't ever been done, so it's long past time. We had the driveway paved this summer so it's much nicer than gravel & will be much easier to use the snowblower on it.

Comment by Tony Carroll on October 8, 2012 at 7:40am Good morning all. Where did you night dreams take you? To places of beauty, I hope. What a transition back to wakefulness. Here is a little song I like to listen to upon waking, Mr. Bill Withers.
'Lovely Day'
Enjoy, have a wonderful day. Keep a song in your heart, and a dance in your step as you go forward. Peace.
Sounds like a wonderful project Patricia.
Wish you the best on your remodeling.
