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 Thursday: Joan, you bet we are part of your team! We may not be there in person, but we are always HERE and thinking of you!

Chris, what a beautiful flower!!!

Patricia, how nice all the Breast Cancer Awareness pics!! Very cool!

Steph, love the look on that cats face. :)

My husband loves Alan Alda too. lol. My Mom and I are going to visit my sister in Green Bay tomorrow. We are staying until Sunday. I asked my family what they would do without me for 2 whole days, ha ha. My sister got a puppy named Summer whom I can't wait to meet. My niece Livi is having a piano recital, so we are going to see that. I just have to make sure my brother-in-law does NOT talk to me about politics or religion, or I will have to excuse myself to go to my room and scream into a pillow!!!!!! He is SO right-wing, and he's an xtian, but he believes that gay people have a right to marry, and woman have a right to an abortion if they so choose. That and the fact that he is funny, and a good husband and father to my sister and their children, keeps me from telling him off. ;) Hugs to everyone~ Mindy

Comment by Patricia on Thursday: Alan Alda is a favorite, I need a barf bag just looking at m.teresa!!!

Joan....

Walking by pc for cancer cure.

Comment by Steph S. on Thursday: Joan I am wishing you the best. My thoughts are with you.

I love Alan Alda too Melinda.

I am off to the gym. Gotta get going.

Comment by Steph S. on Thursday: This one is funny. Of course i like them all.

Comment by Steph S. on Thursday: That is good news to hear sk8eycat. I am glad someone did something for you.

Comment by Steph S. on Thursday: that was funny booklover!! I loved it - that Lolcat made me laugh.

Flying Atheist thanks for the videos.

Comment by sk8eycat on Thursday: The most despicable thing that Agnes Bojaxhiu ("Mother" Teresa) did was to constantly speak out against abortion and contraception. When she was asked why she encouraged overpopulation and famine...and people having more children than they could afford to take care of, she would always drag out that old saw that "The lord will provide."

She also seemed to believe that the suffering of the poor was "beautiful," and somehow helped the world, but nobody ever had the cojones to ask her "HOW??!"

She was brain-damaged, IMO.

Comment by Chris Breman on Thursday: And proud to belong to your team, Joan! But I'm very glad you've got such a wonderful real life team!

Sending you a wallflower from my garden.

Comment by Joan Denoo on Thursday: I just drank 32 oz of water and am fasting, preparing for a cat scan this morning. Then no more until next week. I intend to enjoy these days away from treatments and protocols and just enjoy my fabulously beautiful, weedy garden.

Mindy, I will be thinking of you and your mother and daughter enjoying a lovely time together.

Thank you, each one, for your encouragement. You help keep that dark cloud from enveloping me. You are part of my team and I appreciate you.
