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.

A tribute to my father

Started by Brent Feeney. Last reply by Debra Stevenson on Monday. 12 Replies 1 Like

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

Comment by Nerdlass on March 6, 2013 at 9:15pm: What did he die of, might I ask?

50 is too young. That's how old my dad was when he died from a massive heart attack. :(

Comment by booklover on March 6, 2013 at 8:53pm: Joan, you are so nice. Thank you very much. I figure my looks may be fading, but I'll always have my blue eyes for a good feature! lol. It's odd, my husband has brown eyes, which are dominant, but both my kids got blue eyes. I tell my husband, see? I am dominant! :)

I never liked those shows either. I have heard that men like The 3 Stooges much more than women like them. I don't know if that's true.

Yes Felaine, use a heating pad!!!

Sadly, one of my husbands friends that he works with didn't come to work today. His wife found him when she got home from work, dead. He was 50. This guy's father died the same way at the same age. He was an Atheist, and a really cool guy. It's just so unexpected. :(

It looks like she has fun and so do her companions.

Comment by Patricia on March 6, 2013 at 6:59pm: Gray now, but was a redhead!

Comment by Patricia on March 6, 2013 at 6:39pm: I had all my teeth pulled & the heating pad was well used. Get better soon Sk8eycat.

I always thought L & H, & Stooges were just stupid!

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on March 6, 2013 at 6:32pm: Sk8eycat, you're not a redhead, so maybe it's another reason such as a tooth infection. Your experience is uber scary. Thanks for the billboard link. It's good to see us getting a message out.

I never liked Laurel and Hardy or the Three Stooges for the same reason, Joan, excepting for the "Who's on first" routine which was relatively nonviolent. I was glad when NCIS toned down the head slapping. The early shows were disturbingly violent in that regard.

Comment by Joan Denoo on March 6, 2013 at 6:18pm: Melinda, I like your photo very much; so pretty, sprightly, and fresh. I like seeing your whole face, even as your eyes are stunningly blue.

Comment by Joan Denoo on March 6, 2013 at 6:16pm: Felaine, I am very sorry to learn the pain you experienced with that extraction! I have not a clue what will make it feel better; I trust Melinda.

Comment by Patricia on March 6, 2013 at 6:15pm: I've talked & discussed & had professional help over the years & nothing made me feel any better so I'm done. I don't have a problem with my daughter Joan, it's just I didn't want her put in the position between her grandmother & me. My daughter is brainwashed into religion which has to be a closed subject, but other than that, we get along fine. She just doesn't 'get' things anyway so I can't waste my time or breath on trying to make her understand things she can't, & as an atheist, I'm in secondary place anyway. As for good ol' mummy, nothing can mend things enough to get all warm & fuzzy. If she wants to make a light relationship with me, I'm willing, but I'm going no further.....I can't get into it anymore.
