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 The Flying Atheist on August 23, 2012 at 4:43pm: Awesome video, sk8eycat!! I agree. I can't imagine any type of god-like entity being large enough or powerful enough to rule over our existence and affect our lives when our presence here is so insignificant when compared to the vast size of space. Sorry, but "god" is not that talented or powerful. I actually feel even more special, and dare I say more privileged, because I can clearly see how lucky we are to be here.....AND, by chance, we also have minds developed enough to contemplate our existence. That is stunningly awesome. No god required.

Comment by Patricia on August 23, 2012 at 4:42pm: Stunningly beautiful, Sk8ey. Just makes science so much more impressive to discover all that endless vastness.

Comment by sk8eycat on August 23, 2012 at 3:59pm: Hi! I'm up to my....uhhhh....neck in the Pet Press stuff today, but I just had to post this link. It really puts things in perspective:

If there was an actual "creator" I don't see how she/he/it could even find us, let alone give a rat's patoot about our personal lives.

Comment by Patricia on August 23, 2012 at 1:31pm: AWWWW.....Steph!

Comment by The Flying Atheist on August 23, 2012 at 1:20pm: Wow, Joan. What a treasure you have one block from your house. The photos are beautiful. I'm very envious! Whenever I have daydreamed of being a multimillionaire, I've ALWAYS envisioned myself living on a large estate with beautiful surrounding gardens like that. Thanks for sharing!

Comment by Idaho Spud on August 23, 2012 at 1:16pm: What a beautiful park Joan. I'd love to spend time there. I have ducks and geese fly over my house often also, and I enjoy watching them.
