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 Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 1:33pm: Sk8ey.....xians like to steal everything, don't they?

Comment by Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 1:32pm: Ian, would love to see your collection of teapots....do you have photos you'd be willing to share?

Comment by Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 1:27pm: Smart move Booklover!!!! I think facebook is too big for it's britches & too damned invasive as well. I tried it once sometime ago & immediately got out as I was getting things which had nothing to do with me. I even scrounged the whole site trying to find an email address to tell them to scrub my account completely off, as I didn't just want it ''disabled''. I find this site right here social enough, & email works just fine for family/friends.

Comment by sk8eycat on August 17, 2012 at 12:00pm: I'd like to see the rear end of the GOP elephant with a "thoight balloon" saying something like, "I'm quitting this damn circus! It's worse than a zoo!"

Some of my animal activist friends do picket the circus when it comes to town, and are also trying to get the LA Zoo to send their elephants to a wildlife sanctuary. Pacing around on cement cripples their feet, for one thing....

Comment by sk8eycat on August 17, 2012 at 11:44am: Ruth, I think the xians stole the fish meme/icon from a much older Goddess religion. If you stand the fish on its "tail" it's a simplistic diagram of female genitalia. Maybe.

I like Evolve Fish because we did evolve from sea creatures who developed special fins that allowed them to crawl up on the land.

The one that made me laugh when I first saw it was the Evolve Fish holding a wrench in its fin/hand/paw/whatever.

Ian, I like Russell's fishy teapot.

Comment by Steph S. on August 17, 2012 at 10:39am: What a cool hobby Ian! Do you have your teapots in a display case?
Ian that cat picture made me LOL! So funny!
Thanks for starting my Friday with a smile.
I hope all of you are having a good day!
I'm drinking French Vanilla coffee today.

Comment by Ian Mason on August 17, 2012 at 10:30am: Those we have lost :(

Comment by Ian Mason on August 17, 2012 at 9:54am: So many good things here today :-D Just when I neede cheering up. Thanks, everyone. Here's my contribution.

By the way, I collect teapots and have over 80.

Comment by Idaho Spud on August 17, 2012 at 9:40am: Tara, thanks for the link to the uncompassionate rich study. It reminded my of what I observed when I "moved on up" to a little more affluent neighborhood in California. My new commute took me through a wealthy neighborhood, and I immediately noticed the drivers were much more uncaring and selfish.
