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.

So, I guess most of you here know that my dad died back in January of complications of Parkinson's disease. There have been times that have been rough since then, but I'd think it's all part of the process, so to speak.Today was Remembrance Sunday…Continue

And Tony, I'll probably pass on the pot today, but I will be in a college town, so I'm sure it's readily available if I should change my mind... ;) Thanks for the info on 4/20 though, very interesting. :) Have a great weekend my good Friends!!!~ Melinda

Comment by Loren Miller on April 20, 2013 at 6:53am: So ... have you had your Cyriak today? No? My goodness, we MUST do something about that:

There, now, don't you feel better?

Comment by Chris Breman on April 20, 2013 at 6:07am: I wish you a carefree year, Melinda! And here are some flowers.

Comment by Tony Carroll on April 20, 2013 at 5:27am: NOW I understand how Moses "spoke" with a burning bush, FA. Also explains how he wandered around the desert for 40 years!

   5) The veil on my eyes are lifted, and verily I say unto thee, my brethren, thou shalt stone the heathen, the adulterers, the thief in the night.

   6) For it is pleasing in the sight and smell of the most high.

   7) And the burning thereof shall rise to the heavens as a sweet gift, pleasing unto the lord of hosts. And thou shalt praise his name on high forevermore as 'Dude'!!!
