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.

"This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."
Grinning cat, you sure have a way of making me laugh!
Comment by sk8eycat on December 11, 2012 at 7:16pm Joan, the "pug" I tried to post wasn't a video...it's a poster. Kinda gross. I copied it from an e-mail a friend sent to me....and he must have copied it froom FakeBook. Anyroad, here it is again (I dug it up from elsewhere)
Iam that Pug video is so funny. Thanks I really needed a smile.
Love the Stag photo too.
OK - I'm back and now I am reading through.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by Joan Denoo on December 11, 2012 at 5:16pm Idaho Spud, re: "what are friends for" and changed it to "for what are friends".
I don't like the sound of that either. Does anyone remember the rule? It has been 58 years since I had an English grammar lesson.
Comment by Idaho Spud on December 11, 2012 at 4:53pm Cute pug video Ian.
Comment by booklover on December 11, 2012 at 3:50pm Ian, my daughter showed me that pug video a while ago. It's adorable! I think the one she showed me had an explanation as to why the dog cannot run. There is something wrong with it (not fatal). I think it's something to do with his brain. Sorry I can't remember the story, but the dog is fine, and HOW ADORABLE!!!!~ Melinda
