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 Joan Denoo on August 16, 2012 at 10:01am: via Patricia, Great poster. Even children or adults with severe brain dysfunction can be trained, and if not, other arrangements can be made to not take them to retail establishments. A badly behaved mentally healthy child reflects poor parenting techniques. Effective parenting is so easily learned, and easily accessible, there is no reason to do a poor job.
For those parents with mentally disabled children, the public has a responsibility to learn and understand challenges they face and not add to the problems.

The sign has a valid message; I agree and reposting.

Comment by Paula T. on August 16, 2012 at 9:36am: I laughed when I first saw the replacement feed, then felt sad that such a loving bunch of people would vandalize. Not very secure in their beliefs, eh? Here is the link...scroll down about 3/4 of the way

Comment by Steph S. on August 16, 2012 at 9:29am: Tony I love your puppies picture! So cute!
Well I do much better without any wheat, and I eat lots of protein so for me the wheat free lifestyle is working. So just find out what works for you. Anyways, the book is fascinating and well written. He discusses how humans evolved and what our ancestors ate. I am enjoying the book.

Comment by Tara on August 16, 2012 at 8:29am: Good morning all! On the wheat/carb topic: there is certainly enough evidence that shows it is a problem but not for all people. Some of us absolutely cannot have grains (celiac here) yet there are others who cannot have excess amounts of proteins. It's not a one or the other, black vs white situation.

A lot of criticism is shown towards the "blood type" or "body type" diets but it's worth examining them simply because they place emphasis on the importance of variance within our species, and knowing your body.

@Tony: that is the cutest picture ever! Or at least at this time in the AM :P

Comment by Idaho Spud on August 16, 2012 at 7:41am: Replacement Darwin Fish legs is funny!

Comment by Idaho Spud on August 16, 2012 at 7:36am: Tony, I love the God Sent Darwin bumper sticker!

Comment by booklover on August 16, 2012 at 7:36am: Great pics everyone. They made my day start off great again! Tony, I love the bumper sticker! Paula T., they sell replacement-legs for the Darwin Fish? lol, I don't know, for some reason that cracks me up, these little silver legs showing-up in the mail... LOL Everyone have a great day, it's almost the weekend! Hugs to all!

Comment by Idaho Spud on August 16, 2012 at 7:30am: That's a fascinating video (or whatever) Patricia. Do you know if it's real, and if so why is the dog walking like that?

Comment by Tony Carroll on August 16, 2012 at 5:55am: Heading off to work. Ya'll have a great day!

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on August 16, 2012 at 12:31am: Great dog pics, thanks!

I would have to do some research to evaluate that wheat free diet. There are so many diet claims and diet books. I saw one study that compared health of people who had various kinds of diets and was surprised to learn that those who ate lots of pasta did well. Now I can't find a link. Sorry. Pasta is also part of a Mediterranean diet. So I have questions.
