Hang With Friends

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 booklover on August 17, 2012 at 9:02pm: Want a snack? lol

Comment by booklover on August 17, 2012 at 8:50pm: @Patricia, Me too about reading! I always carry a book with me wherever I go. I get nervous if I don't have one, because what if I'm stuck somewhere and I can't 'escape' into a book.

@sk8eycat, that pic of the dog saving her pups is heartwarming!~ Melinda

Hope you all have a happy weekend.

Comment by Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 7:55pm: Great news Sk8ey! By the way, I sent your ''new words'' to my pal in England, & she had a good laugh, loved them!

A Dog saved all her puppies from a house fire, and put them to safety in one of firetrucks..

Comment by Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 6:48pm: I MUST read or go bananas. Reading is something I've done ever since starting school & discovering libraries. I have a grade 10 education, so I feel reading is learning & not just entertainment. Reading, music, & pets are my favorite things. My husband might fit in there someplace too.....hahaha!!!!

Comment by The Flying Atheist on August 17, 2012 at 5:33pm: Patricia, I have a small amount of atheist books but nothing I'd refer to as a collection. When I read I mostly like history, science and non-fiction books. I wish I had more time (more discipline?) to sit down and read more. I'm making a concerted effort to read more. I love watching movies and listening to podcasts, so my attention goes in many directions.

Comment by Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 5:06pm: Hey Flying....atheism of course, but I like biographies, suspense fiction, true stories, scientific, as long as it's in plain language, cooking ideas, learning computer/mp3 players/printers, how to's, etc. Recently I've discovered borrowing from my local library & downloading to my pc & or transferring to my e-reader, so my scope has just increased a lot without even leaving the house.
