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 The Flying Atheist on August 29, 2012 at 7:36pm: Patricia, BEAUTIFUL lilacs. One of the great flowers of summer. And yes....the scent of lilacs wafting through the air on a sunny summer day is incredibly pleasing.

Comment by Patricia on August 29, 2012 at 7:33pm: Lilacs are everywhere around the province, mostly the usual mauve or white colors, which we have in the front yard. This red one is something we wanted to try & it's really done well. My husband doesn't do anything other than stuff it in the ground. Love the fragrance.....a favorite. After the blooms are done, my husband cuts the stalks off & makes ''trees'' for his model train setup.

Comment by sk8eycat on August 29, 2012 at 7:09pm: Oh! Lilacs! They won't grow around here...too warm in winter, I think.

Once I drove a co-worker to a grower to buy lilacs for his birthday present. It was about an hour and a half from here, at a higher elevation. We filled up the entire back seat of the car; the drive home was incredible...and intoxicating.

Comment by booklover on August 29, 2012 at 6:59pm: Patricia, your lilac bush is GORGEOUS!!!!! I would LOVE to have this in my backyard. I tried one lilac bush one time and it never really bloomed or grew much, and then it died. Do you have a secret to lilacs?~ Melinda

Comment by sk8eycat on August 29, 2012 at 6:58pm: Any amount of hate is incomprehensible to me; I can't even hate the haters. For one thing it takes way too much energy. I would much rather just ignore them, but they hurt people...animals, and the environment.

The strange thing is that our mother was born and raised in Oklahoma, and did grow up with a lot of Buybull Belt prejudices, but she was very careful not to hand them down to me or my sister. I know she sometimes used the "N-word," but never when she thought we could hear her. I only heard her say it by accident...the walls where we were staying one summer vacation were thin. If I had ever said it, I would have had a bar of Lifebuoy shoved in my mouth.

Comment by Patricia on August 29, 2012 at 2:59pm: Yes Ian, That shocked the hell out of us as we hardly ever hear of anything like that in Norway.

Comment by Ian Mason on August 29, 2012 at 2:46pm: That amount of hate is incomprehensible to most, sk8ey, Partricia and all. I would have said, just over a year ago, that here in N. Europe we were free of the worst of that but then came Utøya and Oslo.
