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 Idaho Spud on February 2, 2013 at 11:10am: Thanks Joan. First time I've heard the No Z in Boise song. Cute.

I feel the same way as Melinda. There's too many good things posted here to comment on them all, but I save most of the pictures.

Comment by booklover on February 2, 2013 at 8:11am: Good Morning Everyone! So many good things are being posted, it's hard to comment on them all.

Our daughter is home for the weekend, so I am happy! We got snow last night, did you get snow in Chicago Carl?

Have a good weekend friends!

Comment by Ian Mason on February 2, 2013 at 12:30am: Thanks, Patricia. That's a great article and I've shared it on FB. Never thought that would happen with something from the Telegraph! Had a good chuckle over the description of Daniel Dennett:

" a man who looks like the love-child of Father Christmas and Charles Darwin"

Breaking news: Richard Dawkins doesn't like religion or 'Islamic barbarians'. Well, he kept that one quiet – Telegraph Blogs
Why are we still surprised that Richard Dawkins doesn't like religion? Also, will people now stop saying about the good professor that "he wouldn't dare say that about Islam"? Please? I should explain. The latest furore comes after Islamist extremists burned down a sacred library in Timbuktu, Mali, during the ongoing conflict there. Prof Dawkins [...]

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on February 1, 2013 at 11:43pm: Thumbs up to that, Steph! Your grumpier reflection gave me a much needed laugh. Flying Atheist - 5 degrees! That's so cold. Take care. Throw a couple of extra cats on the bed at night.
