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.

Just imagine a group of youngsters from Israel and Palestine making music together, a cooperative activity, and the better they cooperate the better they will learn how to be a team. Surely, it has already happened, but it makes good sense.
Comment by Joan Denoo on April 24, 2013 at 11:52am Grinning Cat, I like your interpretation!
Debra Stevenson, what drew you to Mormonism in the first place? Your description of some of their beliefs is quite revolting!
booklover, as usua, outstanding photos.
THE LIBRARY IS NOW SELLING FREE COFFEE FOR $1
I like a friend's explanation: "The coffee is free, the $1 is a tax to defray the cost of replacing books that have had coffee spilled on them.......... :) "
Comment by Debra Stevenson on April 24, 2013 at 11:17am Megan s. McGary,
I was a member of the LDS once and yes they do secretly drink coffee. Many of them. I didn't until after I left. Yes many Mormons are a hypocrites but they do have some very creative theological views.

Comment by Megan S. M. on April 24, 2013 at 11:00am Actually there are plenty of mormons that drink coffee, they just lie about it to their leaders. After all, the LDS are the perfect examples of hypocrites lol

Comment by booklover on April 24, 2013 at 8:22am lol Ruth. They need to look up the definition of free in the dictionary. Steph, that "he's making that face again" is great! lol
Comment by Debra Stevenson on April 24, 2013 at 8:03am But wait, Mormons can't drink coffee!!!
What if someone from the LDS church is in the library and they're thristy? They'll have to act like cannibals by drinking the other customer's blood, like the MM Massacre? That's right , it wasn't about killing any pioneers for 'trespassing', they really were living like the ancient Hebrews and they don't have a nearby rock to tap on for water so that had to resort to drinking the blood of pioneers with the help of the Native Americans who refused to give them any water but they couldn't take it anyways as they are 'cursed'. They are the descendants of Nephi, don't ya know!
