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 Joan Denoo on November 8, 2012 at 1:58am: Carl, I fooled around with the word trying to figure out what your meant and yes, I came up with grin. I completely understand ... I often don't see my errors until after the 15 minutes are up.

Comment by The Flying Atheist on November 8, 2012 at 1:51am: Oooops!! Joan, I just realized that I wrote you have a "beautiful, wide-grim smile" instead of a wide-grin smile. Big difference! Pardon my blooper. --Carl

Comment by sk8eycat on November 8, 2012 at 1:39am: Tony: WHAT great recipe? Can you post it? Please? I collect recipes and cookbooks, whether I ever use them or not (I'm diabetic, so I have to watch simple carbs, but sometimes I just don't give a *bleep!*)

I've been voting every election, national, state, local, since 1960 (that was back in the day when you had to be 21 to register.) I vote by mail now, it's SO much more relaxing than trying to find a place to park and stand in line forever... I'm glad that California allows people to register as Permanent Absentee Voters without having to be disabled, out of town, or anything like that. Do any other states allow that?

Comment by Chris Breman on November 8, 2012 at 12:48am: Congrats USA! I've lurked here, but it's still a prehistoric laptop while my pc is in repair, and the laptop panics about ever 30 seconds. But I'm all right and LOL about the Queen"s speech.

Comment by Steph S. on November 7, 2012 at 11:33pm: Oh I love big bird!

Comment by Tony Carroll on November 7, 2012 at 9:17pm: I also have a whacked sense of humor, FA. No worries.

Comment by The Flying Atheist on November 7, 2012 at 8:48pm: Funny message from the Queen. It's kind of scary that about half of it is true!!

Comment by The Flying Atheist on November 7, 2012 at 8:40pm: Joan, patience, like skepticism, is a virtue. I guess that makes me very virtuous. Now that I think about it, my mother probably wouldn't understand that video for what it is. At least you know about the pitfalls of "Onion" stuff. I have to say, though, with that big, beautiful, wide-grim smile you have in your picture, you're the last person I'd suspect of not having a sense of humor. You certainly had me fooled.
