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 December 5, 2012 at 1:34am: The Flying Atheist, I tried to find a funny "occupied" sign but the only thing I could find was this one:

You must have some interesting stories to tell about your work experience.

Comment by Joan Denoo on December 5, 2012 at 1:18am: sk8eycat. I hope you recover full use of you hand. Sounds serious. I am thinking of you.

Comment by Joan Denoo on December 5, 2012 at 12:58am: Melinda, I will be thinking of you as you have your medical procedures and hope all goes well.

Comment by Chris Breman on December 5, 2012 at 12:36am: Must be a wonderful couple, Joan!

Comment by Joan Denoo on December 4, 2012 at 11:43pm: Ian, I had no children when I was 27 years old. On my 28th birthday I had three. We adopted a five day old boy from the hospital and he was five-months 13-days when our twins were born. They are all 49 years old now. It was quite a sight, I was able to breast feed all three, taking turns, of course. When they got older, I had three high chairs and one spoon and they looked like birds waiting for the next spoon of food.

Cary, Craig, and Laura

Comment by The Flying Atheist on December 4, 2012 at 11:08pm: Melinda, the sign on your front door and your comment about not knowing what soliciting is reminds me of my job as a flight attendant. I don't think a month goes by when someone points to the 'occupied' sign on the lavatory door and asks me, "Does that mean somebody's in there?" I kid you not.

Comment by booklover on December 4, 2012 at 8:42pm: Good Night!!! :)

Comment by booklover on December 4, 2012 at 8:40pm: Thanks Carl, you're so sweet. Ian, that waxed-floor cat picture is great! lol. Thanks Steph, and you always have the perfect picture or gif for everyone!

I really liked my new doctor. I couldn't go have lab work done because... I put a Listerine Strip on my tongue so I didn't have coffee-breath! lol. Apparently that isn't fasting (they didn't say to fast or that I was having lab work done or I wouldn't have), but I just thought that was funny. Back for labs some morning this week.:)

Felaine, we have a sign on our front door that says "NO Solicitors, yes, this means YOU TOO." Guess what. They either can't read, or don't know what soliciting is. Ugh!

Comment by sk8eycat on December 4, 2012 at 1:54pm: @Ian and Carl...I'm still feisty, but frustrated, too. The worst thing is that I can't give anybody the "monodigital salute" when I need to. And I DO need to!

We are now getting flocks of the door-to-door version of telemarketers...all of them trying to sell home-repair scams. I've never seen anything like it.

The kitteh in my lap is telling me to quit messing around here and go open a can of something. Guess I'd better. (He wants "fish-berry jam," but he's getting Fancy Beast Chicken.)

Oh, Loren, I'm debating with myself about printing that Tina Fey photo for my JW sister....*snicker!*

Comment by The Flying Atheist on December 4, 2012 at 12:05pm: Melinda, funny, funny pic with the dog and cat. I lol'd. I wish you the best as well with your MD visit. You're being thought of.
