Hang With Friends

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 Steph S. on October 19, 2012 at 11:50pm: Flying Atheist love the Halloween pic. Booklover that is so cute - I don't like Crocs either.
It's my favorite time of year too.

Comment by booklover on October 19, 2012 at 9:11pm: @ The Flying Atheist, I agree! Thanks Steph! I always enjoy the pics you post! I'm having a great weekend already because the whole family is home together. :)I need to send this pic to my sister. She absolutely hates Crocs. I've never tried them.

Comment by The Flying Atheist on October 19, 2012 at 7:14pm: I love this time of year. It's a great time to have fun with your imagination and to release your inner child. I guess the important distinction is knowing that it's just frivolous fun.

Comment by Steph S. on October 19, 2012 at 6:59pm: Oh booklover I just love the cat and the Halloween picture. So cute.

So how's it going today?

Everyone having a nice Friday?

Comment by booklover on October 19, 2012 at 8:15am: Adorable 'humidifier cat' Steph! So cute.Have a good weekend everyone! I will because my daughter will be home from college from today through Monday a.m.! yay!

Comment by Steph S. on October 19, 2012 at 12:00am: I just love the moon cat Halloween Samhain pic Tony. Pagans and Wiccans celebrate Samhain Tony. Very big on full moons. That lolcat is the best booklover! So funny.

Singing in the Rain - great song.

Comment by Ian Mason on October 18, 2012 at 11:47pm: Can't hear that song without thinking of the German disco version:

"Sinking in der reyn, yust sinking in der rein". Can't remember what the name of the group was supposed to be but was obviously a bunch of second-rate session singers cobbled together with a drum-machine and a synthesizer. So bad it was funny.

Comment by Patricia on October 18, 2012 at 12:56pm: Always a favorite song.

Comment by sk8eycat on October 18, 2012 at 12:04pm: Tony, I don't think I have a "soul," so I ain't afraid. And "Singin' in the Rain" is one of my all-time favorite musicals, too.

And, as a former ice skater, this just blows me away every time I watch it:
