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 August 8, 2012 at 1:39pm: Well, I just lost a friend because of my Atheist posts on FB. She took something I put-up, turned it around to make it REALLY religious and posted it. I'm not playing that game. I unfriended her. Sadly, because of her alcoholism (which I sincerely hope she gets help for), and because the horrible way she speaks to her daughter in front of her 2-year old grandson, which makes me cringe and not want to be at her home, our friendship was about done anyway. Sad when a friendship ends, but when it causes you more stress than happiness, isn't it about time to go your separate ways? I know some people who keep every friend they've ever made. I don't seem to be able to do that. I really wish her well, I just don't want to be a part of each other's lives anymore. :(

Comment by booklover on August 8, 2012 at 1:35pm: It's true Patricia! Cats (and other animals) are the best show! Plus they are soft and they purr! lol

Comment by Patricia on August 8, 2012 at 1:17pm: Thank you Chris.....we try to enjoy everything we are able to, & the cats keep us laughing......better than tv at the best of times!

Comment by Idaho Spud on August 8, 2012 at 11:30am: Love the Bill Gates/Pooper poster. Thanks Patricia.

Comment by booklover on August 8, 2012 at 8:14am: I'm sorry about your depression Ian. I have had that too at times, but I'm on so many meds for anxiety/panic-attacks, they help with depression quite a bit! Glad you liked the kitten and puppy pic. :)

Comment by Chris Breman on August 8, 2012 at 2:05am: Sad to hear that, Patricia. I wish you both a wonderful borrowed time!

Comment by Patricia on August 7, 2012 at 11:30pm: Unfortunately, my husband will not get better, & he's on borrowed time. The damage to his heart is so bad, nothing can be done to repair it. He got his defibrillator/pacemaker to jolt him when needed but it's still just a matter of when, not if. It was a clot that broke away from his heart that travelled & lodged in his brain to cause the stroke.

Comment by Ian Mason on August 7, 2012 at 11:06pm: BTW, stealing the kitten-and-pup. :)

Comment by Ian Mason on August 7, 2012 at 11:05pm: I've been enjoying the Olympics too, as far as I can. Sometimes work gets in the way. Even missed the final of the 10,000 metres :(

The past few years friends have faded out of my life. I find that very sad and feel lonely sometimes. There are probably 2 reasons: first, I suffer from depression and sometimes tend to drag others down with me. Second, when others are wrong about something I tend to put them right. Both are things that annoy ME when I find them in others.

Must really do something with how I live my life. Anyway, I'm really glad to know all of you. You cheer me up no end. Thanks.
