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.

You are contributing interesting information and amusing pics, etc. that we all enjoy! Please keep on doing what you do! Your friend, Melinda

Comment by Tony Carroll on October 9, 2012 at 7:59pm: Ruth, I agree with Steph. I LIKE what you put up, here and other places on the Nexus. Were friends, with (mostly) similar tastes. So why shouldn't we share with one another? Just keep it up. It makes you, and us, happy.

Comment by Steph S. on October 9, 2012 at 7:47pm: Tony I love that pumpkin carving and the lion picture with the Lion King song on it- how very cool!

And booklover those are great lolcats - I am collecting all sorts of great pics here today.

sk8eycat I like the teaparty pic.

Great stuff

Well It's dinner time - going eat and be back here.

Comment by Steph S. on October 9, 2012 at 7:38pm: Your contributions are not spam Ruth. I always enjoy your postings and discussions.

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on October 9, 2012 at 7:26pm: Interesting images, booklover. I keep going back to the cat-covered-guy, over and over. It's like replacing hair with cats. Black cat magnetism to clean white laundry?

On another topic, I'm thinking that much of what I do borders on trolling, based on this definition. (from Reddit)

Blog-spam (blog entries that lift content from other sources without adding significant value).

I often post images here without adding significant value. But, gee, I enjoy images you share with me. Images don't usually need more than to be shared, do they? I also post links to news articles in relevant groups with barely an introduction. Sometimes all I do is extract the key points. I thought this was useful, to share news. Now I question my contributions. I never heard the practice called spam before. *sigh*

Comment by Steph S. on October 9, 2012 at 7:17pm: I have some serious catching up to do ... meanwhile gaze upon this funny lolcat.

Comment by booklover on October 9, 2012 at 5:06pm: A black cat for Steph!!

Comment by booklover on October 9, 2012 at 5:05pm: Just something I found on a Facebook page.

Comment by booklover on October 9, 2012 at 5:03pm: That's powerful sk8eycat!!! It makes thinking-people think. I'd better Tea Partiers wouldn't see the similarities.
