Hang With Friends

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.

That's a good one, Tony.

Love those cats, booklover! Hope today is better for you!

Just sent a couple of religiously handicapped away - told them they should keep imaginary friends to themselves, but they insisted on calling at all the forty-two apartments here, even though I told them that many people here work night shifts. They probably think that waking people up will earn them a place in heaven. How stupid can you get?

I love that Tony!

That was funny.

Ruth, Oh goodness, it seems all my attempts to get your article onto Facebook succeeded. There are MANY postings, and I am going to leave them on unless you or someone gives me a reason to take them all down but one.

Awesome about the animal shelter Spud!  Glad people have their priorities straight!  We need to take care of the animals. :)
