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 December 18, 2012 at 2:20pm: Joan, I don't know what picture you are talking about since you removed it, but I for one know that you would never purposely set-out to hurt somebody on here. I'm sure we all understand! Hugs, Melinda

Comment by Joan Denoo on December 18, 2012 at 1:37pm: Ruth, and all members of this group, I owe you a sincere apology. I woke up very early this morning and couldn't sleep and watched some news reports. An article came up that moved me and I jumped out of bed knowing this group would appreciate the story. As I often do, I looked for a photo to include. My room was dark, the only light was from the computer, my eyes hurt from trying to look and I chose a photo that turned out to be an insult to the person I deeply admire.

Awaking and reading my mail, I discovered my mistake and immediately removed the post.

I insulted not only the subject of my post but all of you trusted friends who have stayed with me all these months. I am truly sorry. I learned my lesson.

Comment by Tony Carroll on December 18, 2012 at 12:11pm: A snowpath in a Finnish forest. I love the snow (just not 3-4 mos. worth of it).

Comment by Tony Carroll on December 18, 2012 at 12:04pm: Outside wall of the public library in Ustron, Poland. Amazing 3D painting.

Comment by Tony Carroll on December 18, 2012 at 11:54am: Ian, wow! I vaguely remember The Keef Hartley band. Great track. Will definitely look up some more of thier stuff. Know it's kinda late, slept in today. So now to it. Morning wakeup today is Katrina and the Waves, 'Walking on Sunshine'.

Try sitting still to this one. As Groucho said, "Either you're dead, or my watch has stopped".

Comment by Idaho Spud on December 18, 2012 at 10:37am: Sorry for your loss Grinning Cat. How are you feeling?

I lost my dad 2.4 years ago, and although I miss him, I was happy to see him go because he was suffering a great deal for a year before he died.

Comment by Ian Mason on December 18, 2012 at 10:29am: A "rock 'n' brass" favourite from my "spots 'n' breaking-voice" years. Loved early Chicago and B,S & T too.
