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 Tony Carroll on August 28, 2012 at 6:50pm: Facts can be pesky little things, don'tcha know.

Comment by Steph S. on August 28, 2012 at 5:18pm: Oh yeah I know that song Flying Atheist - thanks.

Patricia thanks for the Bill Nye video.

Hey Tony! Hope work is going well for you. Glad to see you here.

Comment by Steph S. on August 28, 2012 at 5:16pm: That;s really sad news about Romney - he has enough money to pay all of the miners too - he should of stepped up and paid them from his own money. But rich people are greedy and only think of making more and more money.

Comment by Steph S. on August 28, 2012 at 5:14pm: Patricia I love that animated GIF (that's correct booklover) - would you like to post it in my bird group? Would love to see the picture of the bird feeding the dog there too.

Comment by Tony Carroll on August 28, 2012 at 3:51pm: Hehehe! Partners in crime! Thanks for the laugh Patricia. :)

Comment by booklover on August 28, 2012 at 3:50pm: Grinning Cat, that is sick. I can't believe they HAD to go see Mittens, AND didn't get paid. Can Mitt even know how much one day's pay means to them? I personally hope that would get them to not vote for him!

Patricia, that GIF (is that the right word Steph? lol I can't remember), of the bird feeding the dog is precious!

The Flying Atheist, I STILL sing that Lawrence Welk song to my adult kids, lol. And I JUST found out I was singing a few of the words wrong, lol. When my son was about 3, at the end of the song, in stead of Adios, Au Revoir (sp?), he'd sing Hadios, Ho Wa! LOL Thanks for the laugh.

This forum is the best! :) ~Melinda

Comment by Ian Mason on August 28, 2012 at 3:50pm: A great definition you've found there, Grinning Cat.

That bird must be obeying some parental instinct, Patricia, but has gone a bit astray. Funny.

Comment by Grinning Cat on August 28, 2012 at 3:23pm: More politics (as in "poly-", many, + "ticks", bloodsuckers) : when Mitt Romney visited a coal mine in Ohio, the company shut down the mine, denying workers the day's pay. The company told them attendance at the rally would be both mandatory and unpaid.

Coal miners lost pay when Mitt Romney visited their mine to promote...

Bill Nye, the knower of all things, is out with a new video in which he encourages creationist parents to embrace their "crazy, untenable, inconsistent" world view -- just so long as they don't force it on their offspring:
If you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them.

We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can... we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems.
