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 sk8eycat on October 11, 2012 at 10:05am Not much sleep the last two nights; at 2AM the cats were all excited, dashing around the house, jumping from window to window. When they finally slowed down a little, I heard ...."Hoo-hoo-hoooo. Hoo-hoo-hooo." The great horned owls are back.
I guess that means it's really autumn. At last.
And I have two typing jobs to finish by tonight. Going back to bed for a nap first.
BRB NOT!
Comment by booklover on October 11, 2012 at 7:57am Love waking-up to all the cat pics. Good morning everyone! Drinking my coffee, then it's grocery shopping day for me, when my son returns home from college with the car. (We are sharing one at the moment.)

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on October 10, 2012 at 11:40pm Wow, sk8eycat, what a horribly managed site. It gives Atheists a bad rep to have such socially incompetent site administrators. Atheist Nexus is a safe haven from that crap.
Thanks for the cute cats, Steph. Take care, all!

Comment by Ian Mason on October 10, 2012 at 9:47am Not trolling, Ruth. What's wrong with sharing a cheerful word or picture you've heard? My world would be a slightly colder place without the people here and their posts, so thanks to all.
