Hang With Friends

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.

WOW!!!!! What an experience!

How's this for keeping calm?

A tourist camp in Africa.

You can tell that the guy was stunned by his experience.

This is a great video of the Silverback Gorilla coming into camp for a visit.

Quite an unusual experience. Not sure I could have stayed that calm.

Comment by Grinning Cat on March 2, 2013 at 9:00pm: Idaho, sk8eycat, thanks for the laughs!

Comment by sk8eycat on March 2, 2013 at 8:28pm: The real howler is at about 6:08 or :09 when Vicki Lawrence gets up to leave the office....it's a little muffled, so turn up the sound (unless small children...or your boss... are in the room.)

Comment by sk8eycat on March 2, 2013 at 8:10pm: Idaho, that's hilarious! (It also sounds like a parody of that touchy-feely song from "The Lion King." Makes the joke even better.)

If you want another laugh, here's a wild outtake from "The Carol Burnett Show." http://www.youtube.com/embed/sJIh70IZua8?rel=0
