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 11, 2012 at 7:07pm: Sk8eycat, My cats are good to just sleep with me until I'm ready to get up & feed them......which is 10:30-ish, give or take. I also feed them at 10:30 p.m. Their dry food & water is always there so they have no problem waiting for the meat.

Comment by sk8eycat on August 11, 2012 at 6:14pm: @Patricia: I hate mornings, too. One of the few advantages of being retired (and broke)!

Now if I could just train Hairy Jerry that 6:30AM is NOT head-bonking and/or feeding time...he can't or won't eat kibble, so I need to feed him 2 or 3 times a day.

Comment by Joan Denoo on August 11, 2012 at 6:10pm: Ruth,thanks.

Comment by sk8eycat on August 11, 2012 at 6:08pm: One other thing that annoys me in restaurants, even coffee shop franchises like Denny's, is parents who can't or won't control noisy disruptive children...whether they are too busy yakking on their phones or not. I have left a tip for the wait-staff and walked out before my order was delivered, or even before I had a chance to order, more than once because I lose my appetite in noisy places.

Same thing for unruly children running around loose in stores with no responsible adullts in sight.

When I was about 4, I started whining in a store because I wanted something that Mom refused to buy for me. She grabbed me by the arm, hauled me out of there, and told me very quietly that if I could not behave myself, she would never take me anywhere with her. Ever. She didn't have to tell me twice.

30 years ago Robert Heinlein wrote that one symptom of a dying culture is a lack of manners...common courtesy. I think we're there.

Comment by Patricia on August 11, 2012 at 4:30pm: Hahaha.....I know I'm not alone with thinking morning is a four letter word!!!!!!

Comment by Steph S. on August 11, 2012 at 4:16pm: Great one Patricia! I'm not a morning person myself.

Comment by Ian Mason on August 11, 2012 at 4:05pm: Stealing that one, Patricia :D

Comment by Ian Mason on August 11, 2012 at 4:04pm: Nice cats, booklover. Unusual but very charming.

Comment by Patricia on August 11, 2012 at 4:04pm: For all us who are NOT morning people......

Comment by Steph S. on August 11, 2012 at 3:54pm: Love the Lolcat you posted booklover!
Joan I loved your statement about being older and happy and only answering to yourself.
