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 booklover on May 5, 2013 at 8:17am: Joan, I'm glad you had no pain with your procedure, and I really hope chemo has no bad side-effects for you! Taking naps is a good thing! I take a nap a couple of times a week with a dog at my feet and a cat on me! :)

Comment by Chris Breman on May 5, 2013 at 12:46am: Congrats, Ian! And many more happy days to follow, I hope!

Comment by Patricia on May 5, 2013 at 12:29am: Had 2 types of very aggressive breast cancer almost 8 years ago requiring full right side mastectomy, so am very diligent about getting the diagnostic mammos done on my left side, without fail. Mammo found it in the first place.

Comment by Lillie on May 5, 2013 at 12:21am: Patricia and Joan, had my mammo two weeks ago with no problems, (other than gravity) thank goodness.

Comment by Lillie on May 4, 2013 at 11:53pm: Sounds like a perfect day, Ian, and congratulations on your sobriety milestone. I have a few one day at a times myself.

Comment by Ian Mason on May 4, 2013 at 11:33pm: Glad to hear that things are going well, Joan and that other are following your lead in regular exams.

Yes, that's the stuff. Eaten with meat and cheese mostly but nice with stews too. There are no limits except your own preference. The last time I tried to take some with me from England, airport security confiscated it. Very popular in their canteen, I bet. My daughter has been able to find an outlet in Denmark that stocks it.

Thanks for all the good wishes. It's very kind of you. Today returns to the mundane - the housework needs doing. The sun is shining so I can see all the dust indoors and the dirt on the windows but such a positive day yesterday will bear me through.

Comment by Joan Denoo on May 4, 2013 at 6:53pm: Patricia and Melinda, good jobs! We an lick this demon in the bud.

Comment by Patricia on May 4, 2013 at 6:47pm: Sounds like things are going smoothly so far Joan. Was wondering how you were feeling.

I have joined you & Melinda with having my yearly diagnostic mammo done May 1st.....come on gals.....your turn!

Comment by Joan Denoo on May 4, 2013 at 5:26pm: I had a procedure done yesterday that was virtually painless; drawing a hematoma in my breast that required long needles and I got to watch on the ultra-sound equipment. I was so eager to watch, I wore myself out, turning and twisting to see what was going on. It was odd watching the pool of blood disappear through the needle into vials. Not a bit of pain but I imagined the sucking sound of the Titanic going underwater. There was no sound; I just imagined it.

Laura and Laurie went with me and kept me cheered up. I came home and slept the rest of the day.

Chemo starts next week.

Remind your loved ones to get regular exams.

Comment by Joan Denoo on May 4, 2013 at 5:15pm: Ian, I respect your life's journey, and your ability to overcome an addiction. The brain is a difficult thing to master when it acts against your interests. Congratulations.

Your day with your daughter and her friend sounds very special and may you have many more such days.

Is this the brand and style you enjoy?
