Hang With Friends

Location: Earth

Latest Activity: 3 hours ago

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.

My cats think any sized box will do.  It is so funny what they try to get in to.  Their favorites are my shoe boxes which is where I keep my shoes.  When I return home from an outing and shed my shoes, there is a cat or two in the box where I store that pair of shoes.  They are very indignant when dumped out to be replaced with shoes.

FA, love the cat that thinks any size box will do.

What a nice place to come after a ct scan; it was easy as laying down and no pain. Lots of cheer here, funny cats and boxes. Thanks so much for the encouragement, virtual hugs, and pink ribbons.
May 21 is my next surgery as well as a port installed for the chemo. On May 22 I will spend about five hours (I am told) to get the chemo started, small doses at a time.
I read all the literature people sent and I feel confident that I chose a protocol with a high success rate and few complications. I am ready! My teams are ready! Cancer Challenger Team, WE ARE READY!

Chris, have a great time in Naples.

I'm off to work soon and then to England straight from work in the morning. Have an enjoyable holiday weekend everyone.

I have lots of pink ribbon symbols......

Felaine, it delights me to hear about your unexpected good news.  You so deserve it.  Just between you and me.....if I could, I would love to do so many good things for you that you would be blubbering like a newborn baby.  You're very special.  I admire your feisty personality, your book-smarts, the volunteer work that you do, and your talented past of professional skating.  

Chris, have an enjoyable holiday in Naples.  I would love to visit any part of Italy.  I've met so many people who have gone there recently.  It seems to be THE European place to visit at this time.  The food, I'm told, is outstanding.      

Joan, as always, you're kindly thought of.  Thanks for keeping us updated on your ups and down.

whoops, I meant "women have a right to choose", not "woman"

Comment by booklover on May 16, 2013 at 1:57pm

Joan, you bet we are part of your team!  We may not be there in person, but we are always HERE and thinking of you!

Chris, what a beautiful flower!!!

Patricia, how nice all the Breast Cancer Awareness pics!! Very cool!

Steph, love the look on that cats face. :)

My husband loves Alan Alda too. lol.  My Mom and I are going to visit my sister in Green Bay tomorrow.  We are staying until Sunday.  I asked my family what they would do without me for 2 whole days, ha ha. My sister got a puppy named Summer whom I can't wait to meet. My niece Livi is having a piano recital, so we are going to see that. I just have to make sure my brother-in-law does NOT talk to me about politics or religion, or I will have to excuse myself to go to my room and scream into a pillow!!!!!!  He is SO right-wing, and he's an xtian, but he believes that gay people have a right to marry, and woman have a right to an abortion if they so choose.  That and the fact that he is funny, and a good husband and father to my sister and their children, keeps me from telling him off. ;) Hugs to everyone~ Mindy
