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 Ian Mason on August 19, 2012 at 9:33am The library is Trininty College, Dublin. As I remember, they've also got a good collection of monastic manuscripts.
Comment by Tara on August 19, 2012 at 9:35am Hahaha, kittehs love legos as much as peoples do!
Oh cool - Legos!
That's right - no one tells cats what to do - I can say the same for me too. I'm like a cat in that way.
I just love that cat picture booklover - thanks for making me smile this morning.
Comment by Idaho Spud on August 19, 2012 at 1:44pm Sk8ey, I smiled at the story about Jerry giving you A Look, and drinking like there was no tomorrow.
Comment by booklover on August 19, 2012 at 2:50pm You're welcome Steph! Good for you! Don't let others tell you what to do! I don't know how many hundreds we spent on Legos when my son was a kid! He still has them too! :)
Comment by booklover on August 19, 2012 at 3:20pm sk8eycat, LOVE the pics of your cats! I've never had an orange one. I want an orange one, and I'd love a black and white one. Within the city-limits where I live, you're only 'allowed' 4 cats, dogs, or a combination. We have a dog and 3 cats. The reason they'd know if you had more is, when taking them to the vet to get their shots every year they have you pay a fee to the city for having them. So if you had more, I don't see how you could get around it, as not taking them to the vet is Not an option! I can't believe we have to pay a fee to the city to have our cats who never go outdoors!
Comment by Joan Denoo on August 19, 2012 at 3:39pm Ian Mason,The Book of Kells rests in Trinity College but I missed this treasure. If only I had known.
I love your cat pictures you posted here sk8eycat!
They are lovely cats. Beautiful.
Hope everyone is doing well today.
It's so nice to come here and spend time with you.

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
