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 August 28, 2012 at 9:29pm THANK YOU JOAN~! LOL I think we always said the first two stanzas, but never knew the last one! Another thing my Grandma would say when something happened was "GoodnessGraciousGodnessAgnes!" LOL and then she would tell us not to say it in front of her friend Agnes! :)

Comment by Patricia on August 28, 2012 at 7:27pm Glad to Steph, but how do I find your bird group?
Comment by Tony Carroll on August 28, 2012 at 6:50pm Oh yeah I know that song Flying Atheist - thanks.
Patricia thanks for the Bill Nye video.
Hey Tony! Hope work is going well for you. Glad to see you here.
That;s really sad news about Romney - he has enough money to pay all of the miners too - he should of stepped up and paid them from his own money. But rich people are greedy and only think of making more and more money.
Patricia I love that animated GIF (that's correct booklover) - would you like to post it in my bird group? Would love to see the picture of the bird feeding the dog there too.
