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 Lillie on March 5, 2013 at 7:24pm: I wonder if the gorillas had been around people much. They seemed really tame and at ease. The guy with the camera must have been frozen in time which was probably the best thing to do when they were all around him.

Comment by booklover on March 5, 2013 at 7:19pm: Thanks for the tip Carl! ;)

Comment by The Flying Atheist on March 5, 2013 at 6:23pm: Yes, Melinda, it's too bad we can't meet at 30,000 feet. That would have been fun. Remember: Always put your own mask on first, then help children or others near you. :)

Comment by Joan Denoo on March 5, 2013 at 6:15pm: It is snowing again!

Comment by booklover on March 5, 2013 at 4:46pm: Thanks Carl! It would have been fun to meet you on the plane though! :) I love the cartoon. Very cute.~ Melinda
