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.

How's everyone doing this Friday?

Comment by Tammy S on July 20, 2012 at 2:54pm: LOL Idaho Spud, I never even saw that Tammy Faye Baker conversation, gotta pay notice to she who puts the make-up on with a spatula! Bow before the bronzer!

Comment by Tony Carroll on July 20, 2012 at 2:49pm: It does. Just googled it, and today is 'National Moon Day'. Also 'National Lollipop Day'. Sweet!!! (Yes, bad joke intended).

Also 'International Chess Day, and Ugly Truck Day'.

This is what the moon landing has to compete against. I think it can take the trucks and chess, but not so sure about lollipops. :)

Comment by Ian Mason on July 20, 2012 at 2:42pm: Yes, sk8eycat. A great idea for a secular holiday to celebrate what humanity can do.

Comment by sk8eycat on July 20, 2012 at 2:33pm: July 20 should be some kind of holiday, doncha think?

Comment by Chris Breman on July 20, 2012 at 2:16pm: @Patricia and Booklover - I feel out-worded too and sometimes I feel too shy to mix - but I try not to forget what a kind woman told me long ago: that such feelings are indicative of a sensitive person. She also said that the world needs such people. Good comfort for many of us.

Comment by Idaho Spud on July 20, 2012 at 1:59pm: Thanks from me also to Melinda and Joan for the kind words, and I agree about the nice people on here, at least the ones I know. It takes me a long time to get to remember and know people, so I'm sorry in advance if any of you feel I've ignored you.

Melinda, I don't know if Tammy Faye Baker knows she looks horrid in all that makeup. It's hard to believe she doesn't, but who knows. Maybe she knows but just wants to be instantly recognized, like Tiny Tim (the "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" guy).

I just called her Tammy before, and hope Tammy S didn't think for an instant I was talking about her.

Comment by booklover on July 20, 2012 at 1:49pm: Patricia, my Sister got her GED, then took a few courses @ our local community college, which is a great one by the way. She always said she felt stupid until she had kids and got older, and now she KNOWS she is smart! She IS smart.

There are smart people with and without degrees, and dumb people with and without degrees. There are people with common-sense, and those without it! Some people are intelligent, and some are not!!!!!!!! As Joan kindly told me "don't sell yourself short!"

Comment by Patricia on July 20, 2012 at 1:39pm: Luvz duh kitteez!!!!!!

Comment by Patricia on July 20, 2012 at 1:38pm: Thanks Melinda. I am Canadian so it's 'university' here, but my education is grade 10, which of course does not make me stupid.....it just took me a long time to figure that out....hahaha!!!!!
