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

Comment by Tony Carroll on October 8, 2012 at 9:43pm: Okay, this one made me laugh

Comment by Ian Mason on October 8, 2012 at 9:28pm: Sounds lovely, Joan. Batten down the hatches ready for winter and a good round of cosy. Nature can put on a beautiful show at this time of year.

Very nice kitchen, Patricia. Hope the work you're doing now goes well.

Comment by sk8eycat on October 8, 2012 at 9:11pm: Joan, I read, and read, and read. I wasn't interested in American history in school because it was taught so badly. By rote. Memorizing names and dates...blah!

As for Tony's poster, I'm sure some of my mother's ancestors weren't too happy with the pale-faced invaders. (Including Dad's ancestors from England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.)

"There goes the neighborhood!"

Comment by Joan Denoo on October 8, 2012 at 8:52pm: This day sparkled with bright autumn colors, cool breezes, and falling leaves. All tender plants turn black quickly after a frost and black makes a good contrast to reds, oranges, and burgundies. Mt. Spokane had a snifter of sow, more like a veil than at cap.
Had my roof repaired to withstand winter winds,
outdoor water pipes blown out, almost all the Concord grapes picked, and fireplace smoke fills the air. Really nice.

Comment by Joan Denoo on October 8, 2012 at 8:43pm: sk8eycat, It appears you, too, have interest in early colonization of the Americas. History hides some dreadful realities from people and it is only though looking for slave narratives or sometimes through women's letters or journals can one get a feel for the struggle and wit and whimsey of those early immigrants, free or slave. I like your stories and hope you have more.

Comment by Steph S. on October 8, 2012 at 8:03pm: booklover that is great - no I haven't seen it - thanks I love it.

You always post cute and funny stuff.

Tony -love that poster. I didn't have today off - no holiday for me.
