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 Ruth Anthony-Gardner on January 2, 2013 at 10:40pm This is a religious leader? *vomit*
Thanks for all of the LOLcats and cat pics, everyone. You cheered up my evening. That soup is real comfort food. Too bad Steph can't inhale it virtually. But the thought helps too. We all want you better, Steph.
Hugs

Comment by Lillie on January 2, 2013 at 4:30pm The first cold of the season is the most miserable one of all. Can't understand why I have not had mine, yet, but not complaining. Usually when I get around small children with runny noses is when I get one but this has not happened. Maybe it is all of the obsessive hand-washing. Get well soon, Steph. Take your Vitamin C.
