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.

Cow water beds. Interesting. So much friendlier than hay if they aren’t cold.
Enjoy your visit, booklover. Tell us how it went. That spy cam pic took me a bit to “get”.
I didn’t know people could get theobromine poisoing. Thanks for the link..
Comment by Patricia on February 23, 2013 at 1:22pm Thanks FA....that was most enjoyable. Am a long time music lover & have a huge variety in my collection. Used to play sax myself, but was not talented enough to go anywhere with it.

Comment by Joan Denoo on February 23, 2013 at 12:20pm The Flying Atheist, I am impressed! I see you easily, thanks for clueing us to where you are in the orchestra. Did you play when you were in school? How did you pick the sax? Do you play other instruments?
Comment by Idaho Spud on February 23, 2013 at 10:17am Thanks G Cat. I thought I knew all about passwords, but didn't know about the memorable phrase idea. Sounds like a good way to generate a password that I can remember.
Comment by The Flying Atheist on February 23, 2013 at 9:18am You never know what you'll stumble upon when surfing the internet. I just found two videos of the community band in which I play saxophone. These were recorded two years ago. I thought I'd share a little bit of what I do in my free time. I'm third row on the right, fourth person in. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks, dear friends.
Several people have had problems with posting pictures from webmail such as Yahoo Mail. (The picture that works for you, but not other people, is coming from your private email account.)
The solution is to download the picture to your own computer (right click and "Save picture as..." or something similar), then use that copy in your A|N post. The second button in the toolbar, "Add Image", in the group to the left of bold, italic, etc., lets you browse for a picture on your computer and upload and include it.
Oh, and it doesn't hurt to repeat this advice about passwords: words in a dictionary, including foreign-language dictionaries, are NOT good passwords. Hackers routinely use word lists to guess passwords, and they automatically add variants like "!nc0rrect".
A better tactic is to take letters from a memorable phrase, such as "The Flying Spaghetti Monster likes chocolate chip cookies with extra hot sauce", giving TFSMlcccwehs.
