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 The Flying Atheist on December 8, 2012 at 4:49pm: Back home today from working and catching up on five pages of back-posts. Unfortunately I managed to catch a cold while gone. Ugh!! I hope it doesn't last very long.

Sk8eycat, are you in the photo of the Nutcracker skaters?

I've never been on facebook or myspace. It all seems too much like an invasion of my privacy. Funny, though. I feel comfortable on this site sharing my views and a certain degree of personal info. Go figure. Everyone on Atheist/Nexus seems (for the most part) to be more mature, rational and sincere, especially all of you here in Hang With Friends.

SIGN IN A STORE WINDOW.

'WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 AL QAEDA TERRORISTS THAN WITH ONE SINGLE BRIT!!!!!'

This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in

CAMPBELTOWN, SCOTLAND.

You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement.

However, we are a society which holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty.

After all, it is ONLY A SIGN..

You may say 'What kind of business would dare to post such a sign?'

Answer:

A FUNERAL PARLOUR.

(WHO SAID SCOTTISH UNDERTAKERS HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOUR?)

YOU GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

Comment by Chris Breman on December 8, 2012 at 2:07pm: I made my own cookbook - mostly clippings - of meals that match my diet and are cheap, easy and healthy. It works very well.

Comment by Idaho Spud on December 8, 2012 at 9:54am: Gravity cat made me laugh.

Comment by booklover on December 8, 2012 at 9:31am: Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Ours will be a quiet one. Our daughter went to visit a friend at the friends University. Our son has to work. We will just read, watch some shows, etc. I went shopping and I can't believe the price of groceries,etc. now! I am such a bargain-shopper, and I had NO coupons this time, couldn't find many good deals at all! And the price of beef was sky-high! I'm going to search the internet for some low-cost meal ideas. It's hard to find dishes that my whole family likes.

Comment by Joan Denoo on December 8, 2012 at 12:05am: Napoleon, I remember that day all too well. Accuser, judge, jury, and executioner. Sound familiar? Are we seeing that in this country and in these conflict? Absolutely.

Comment by sk8eycat on December 7, 2012 at 7:49pm: *sigh* I meant to say "Nativity-Nut" cracking. I'm really having problems typing and proofing.

Oh, WTF. Here's another good seasonal greeting:

A new version of one of my faves.

Comment by sk8eycat on December 7, 2012 at 6:02pm: I just noticed that a photo I tried to post yesterday didn't "work," so I'm trying again

Happy Nut-Cracking Holidays to ALL!
