Hang With Friends

Location: Earth

Latest Activity: 3 hours ago

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.

Spud, my experience as well. "I can't remember if I've already posted it here or somewhere else." The strings get so long it is hard to remember where I might have put something. Thankfully, we have a patient and forgiving group.

So glad that you got your question answered Spud. I am just sitting down today.

Thank you so much Flying Atheist. Yes, I do care about all of you. I enjoy hearing from you. I also love to come here and read the posts and look at the pictures and videos.

I just turned on the tv and saw that we are under a red flag wind advisory.  Never heard of such a thing, but damn, that wind is blowing.  My palm trees are singing a hurricane song, which is nice, but my old wood house is inhaling and exhaling.

 

Sk8eycat, your poor cats.  Mine are oblivious.  They don't even care about the end of the world.

Solstice Customs and historical stuff:

There's also a very technical article about the Myan/Aztec calendars and cycles on another page on this site.  Something to send your friends who think the world is gonna end tomorrow (IF you know anybody that dumb.)

dr. kellie: Sounds like you're having the cold, dry, gusty wind we had here (SoCal) on Tuesday. 

My 2 cats acted like it really was the end of the world even though it was warm enough in here.  I guess it was the sound of the wind whistling through the trees, and dead leaves skittering across the yard and against the house.  Poor kittehs couldn't find any place they thought was safe (both of them spent most of their lives in big catteries); they don't know what things like cardboard cartons, pillows, and deep closets are for.  They don't even know that beds are for hiding under.

BUT the wind stopped suddenly around 10PM, and didn't start up again.  It's still cold, but calm.

Hi Carl!  Yep the storm has started!  I'm exactly in the middle at the very top of Illinois about 20 minutes from the Wisconsin border.  My sister in Green Bay is REALLY getting snow. It just started snowing and blowing here.  It rained all night.  Now there will be ice under the snow.  Not good for driving!!!

Fine here Steph, how are YOU?!!!  I hope getting some well-deserved rest. :)

Those gentlemen ARE charming!  :)

Talk to you all tomorrow if the world doesn't end... ;) Hugs, Melinda

It's always nice to see happy people, no matter what their gender, inclination, ethnic background. A smile is the shortest distance between people.

Denmark is chilly and damp at the moment with snow or sleet/freezing rain on the way and I'm working this weekend. Bugger! I would have enjoyed a couple of days at home in the warm with cocao and a good book. Oh well, there'll be another chance for that before the winter's over.

Orthodox Mormon intolerance

Nathan Young That's true Jonathan Brown.  At one time I was a member of the MRA board when it was more open towards hearing an orthodox Mormon views on things.  Since that time the MRA is now under the stewardship of a new 'religion' the 'Society for Humanistic Mormonism' which is merely another apostate religion.  It will fail just like all other apostate forms of Mormonism have failed including might I add the Mormon "Transhumanist" Association and their kind, and all the front…

Hello fellow atheists!  I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims.  I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor. 

I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists".  I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…
