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 March 17, 2013 at 9:21am Thank you very much for the flowers, Felaine and for the hug, TFA. The weather forcast here in Denmark is for the worst snow-storm in more than a decade. Looks like we might have a white Easter instead of a white Xmas.

My daughter goes back to school today. :( Spring Break went WAY too fast!
Comment by Joan Denoo on March 17, 2013 at 3:16am Whenever I make a mistake during a presentation, I always get called on it, and gratefully so. If I repeat false data, I lose my credibility.
Unfortunately, Pope Francis I allegedly said, "Women are naturally unfit for political office ...".
What does Snopes have to say? "FALSE"
Did Pope Francis I state "Women are naturally unfit for ...?"
"No documentation or reference ..."
He appears to have a more compassionate philosophy than predecessors, but I do not find evidence of a god upon which he builds his thinking.
