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.

On my Comcast homepage there is an article about the pope.  He said sometimes, during times of crisis (just paraphrasing), that it seemed gawd was taking a nap, or something to that effect.  WOW.  What a great and wonderful gawd.

I have a question about "had".   Kennedy said "I had a member of my family killed ... " and I hear it very often. 

Robert Kennedy's Speech on MLK Assassination at 2:10 minutes

It is my pet peeve.

Steph, sk8eycat -- Ruth and a few others of us are discussing the general "decline in writing accuracy" over in Linguaphiles & Sesquipedalians.

One of the mistakes she found was in the news: "It is original from the Andean area of South Africa and widely grown in ... the south Mexico, especially Ecuador."

(That's a great glaring subtitle for "Eat, Ray, Love"! Doesn't anyone proofread magazine covers anymore?)

Watched one of my favorite movies yesterday, and noticed Johnny Depp used a line from a song that we were just talking about, "Good Morning Starshine"

Have a nice day everyone. Stay warm.

Comment by Steph S. on February 27, 2013 at 5:36am

I can't believe no one caught that grammar mistake sk8eycat.

No one proofreads anymore.

Then you're lucky, Sk8eycat, Dido prefers to lie purring loudly on my keyboard, while grabbing at my sweater and I'm not allowed to stop scratching his ears...

Comment by sk8eycat on February 27, 2013 at 12:47am

Damn.  It's difficult trying to type with a cat on my lap.  The previous post is full of typos.  Sorry.

Pumpkin will only sit with me when I'm at the keyboard...

Are the media too giddy over the Pope?

With all the media attention the on the Pope, important stories are being missed, human rights violations, Monsanto protection act, Russia march to blasphemy laws, and of the big story this week did Harry Potter vanquish dementors?See More
