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.

Comment by booklover on March 17, 2013 at 9:25am: Stock-up on food and meds, etc. Ian and keep warm! I hate how the weather is so extreme and weird now. My brother-in-law and I were talking about something on vacation last week, and he said he doesn't believe in global-warming. It took ALL my strength not to start a huge arguement with him. Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!

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.

Comment by booklover on March 17, 2013 at 8:16am: Felaine! That is SO cool! Made me smile this a.m.. :) Thanks! Carl, cute hug gif. :)

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.

Comment by The Flying Atheist on March 17, 2013 at 12:30am: Thanks, sk8eycat! We sure could use a little bit of Spring here in the mid-west. It's been a bit chilly lately.

Comment by Joan Denoo on March 17, 2013 at 12:15am: sk8eycat, that is so cool!

Comment by Patricia on March 16, 2013 at 11:45pm: That's pretty & fun Sk8ey....thanks!
