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 24, 2012 at 6:40pm: RE: Romney's remark about "the place that we were born and raised." I have no doubt he meant we, white people. Sounds like a Freudian slip of the tongue that reveals how he truly feels about Barack Obama. (My opinion.)

Comment by The Flying Atheist on August 24, 2012 at 6:34pm: Rant away, Melinda. You're among friends. We don't mind. If she's an alcoholic, she's not thinking clearly, so don't let her actions get to you. And I hope you feel better soon. :)

Comment by booklover on August 24, 2012 at 5:56pm: Oh I know you're right Steph! I don't know why I did it. After reading it though it made me know a clean-break is what was needed anyway. I truly hope she gets help with her alcoholism. It is really hurting her, now adult, kids. Not my problem though. It is sad and it was hurting our relationship long before the Atheism-thing. She actually used to get mad I wouldn't get drunk with her. :(

Comment by Steph S. on August 24, 2012 at 5:50pm: I live the disco turtle booklover. I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I'm thinking about you and I hope you feel better soon. Just try to ignore that ex- friend of yours. Try not to visit her FB page. It's better not to look anymore - just make a clean break. Out of sight out of mind so to speak.

Comment by Joan Denoo on August 24, 2012 at 5:43pm: Grinning Cat, that is so funny!

Comment by booklover on August 24, 2012 at 5:37pm: Thought this was cute! I am having one of my not-feeling-good days from my chronic health-thingy (that is the technical term, lol.) Also, it is really bugging me about the 'friend' that I am not friends with anymore because I had posted my non-beliefs on Facebook and she considered it 'xtian-bashing'. It is SO immature of me, but I looked on her page and she has all this religious crap all of a sudden like she's proving that it was right of her and wrong of me. Why would I even care?! She's an idiot. I feel like I'm about 12. I think it's because I just don't feel good. Thanks for listening to my rant my friends. ~ Melinda

Comment by Steph S. on August 24, 2012 at 5:27pm: Yeah booklover - exactly - maybe he has a twin - I shudder to think of the thought of a twin Mitt Romney out there somewhere.

Comment by Steph S. on August 24, 2012 at 5:26pm: I love the cat video Flying Atheist - I love cats too.

Comment by booklover on August 24, 2012 at 4:09pm: "We were born and raised"? Is there more than one of him running for president? lol.

Comment by sk8eycat on August 24, 2012 at 4:02pm: Just got this as part of a political fundraising email... Jeeeezzz...a Mormon Dan Quayle.

Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president of the United States, just said this:

"No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised."

Take a moment or two to think about that, what he's actually saying, and what it says about Mitt Romney.
