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.

A tribute to my father

So, I guess most of you here know that my dad died back in January of complications of Parkinson's disease. There have been times that have been rough since then, but I'd think it's all part of the process, so to speak.Today was Remembrance Sunday…Continue

Comment by Steph S. on August 13, 2012 at 1:12am: Glad to have you back Tara! Thanks for joining my group! Glad to have you!

Comment by Ian Mason on August 12, 2012 at 10:34pm: Welcome back, Tara.

Comment by Tara on August 12, 2012 at 9:53pm: Hi all! I've been gone on hiatus for almost a year it seems as I've been bogged down with school/work/kids.

*insert rambling, near-whiny whimpering and general grumpy explanations here*

Anyway, glad to see that things are still pretty active around here... Lots of stuff to read up on! :)

Comment by Steph S. on August 12, 2012 at 4:10pm: Great sign Patricia!
Have a great day everyone!

Comment by Patricia on August 12, 2012 at 2:41pm: That's about when I'm going to bed! I am not & have never been a night time sleeper.....made school days awful!!!!

Comment by Idaho Spud on August 12, 2012 at 12:01pm: I agree with you all about kids and lack of courtesy, but not about arising time.

In the summer, I want to get out and get things done before the searing heat hits, so I get up at 4 AM. I can tell I'm in the minority because most stores open at 8, or 9 or 10AM. A pox upon them!

Comment by dr kellie on August 11, 2012 at 10:55pm: Thanks. It is never graphic. Just enough affection to disturb the parents, not the children. I would never hurt a child. Even though I don't like them:)

Comment by Patricia on August 11, 2012 at 9:20pm: Sk8eycat,

When we took our kids out in public areas, it was a ''treat'', so they knew damn well to behave themselves or they wouldn't be going out again until they were legal age!!! Nobody ever complained about their behavior & would compare our kids to others who didn't know how to be in public.
