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.

A tribute to my father

So, I guess most of you here know that my dad died back in January of complications of Parkinson's disease. There have been times that have been rough since then, but I'd think it's all part of the process, so to speak.Today was Remembrance Sunday…Continue

Comment by booklover on October 25, 2012 at 2:28pm: lol Ian, that's true. Poor puppy.

Good motto Patricia. :)

Spud, glad you enjoyed the pics, and thanks. I feel fine today.

It's sort-of overcast but warmish here in Northern IL, and it's supposed to drop like 30 degrees into the 40's by tomorrow morning. Weather, make up your mind! ;)~ Melinda

Comment by Ian Mason on October 25, 2012 at 1:48pm: There's always someone who's worse off.

Comment by Idaho Spud on October 25, 2012 at 1:13pm: Steph, I've noticed you and Joan call me Idaho Spud, and I've been wondering why because is sounds so very formal to me. I also wonder if you want me to call you by your full name. If so I will.

Personally, I prefer to be called Spud. When I was on the real-time chat in "Life After Mormonism", some people called me Spud, some Idaho, and some IS. I didn't like IS because I often confused it with the word "is", which often was capitalized for emphasis. I like Idaho a little, but just like the sound of Spud the best.

However, you can call me whatever you're comfortable with :)

Comment by Idaho Spud on October 25, 2012 at 1:04pm: Glad your feeling better Booklover, and I got some smiles from your Cat Mix and Vampire pictures :)

Patricia, that's one of my mottos also.

Comment by Steph S. on October 25, 2012 at 12:58pm: Patricia that is so true! Thanks for posting that quote

Comment by Patricia on October 25, 2012 at 12:55pm: Just saw this.....

We’ll miss Chris.

I haven’t decorated, just bought candy.

Yes, you’re seductive enough, Steph. *snort*

Our new TV was just delivered. The old one died just before the 3rd debate.

Have a good day, All!

Comment by Steph S. on October 25, 2012 at 10:50am: Hey Melinda - so sad to hear you are feeling bad. I just adore those cute cat pics you posted. I am taking them for my collection.

Everyone get their house all decorated for Halloween? This year is going so fast!
