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 Idaho Spud on April 21, 2013 at 1:00pm: The dolphin birth was interesting Patricia. I was surprised that the baby could swim immediately, and amazed at how quickly the baby was able to swim by the mother's side.

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on April 21, 2013 at 10:44am: Thanks for the dolphin birth, Patricia. Lovely way to start today.

Nice vacation flavor picture, Ian.

Yes, please do share a picture of your cat tea pot, sk8eycat. *sips tea*

Hugs to all

Comment by sk8eycat on April 21, 2013 at 10:29am: Ian, speaking of musicals, if you have the opportunity, DO see "Billy Elliott - the Musical." The Northern UK accents were difficult for me to understand, but it didn't matter...it's one brilliant feelgood show. I was on clouds for weeks afterward, felt like dancing, myself, and I have difficulty just walking these days. (Maybe I could do the opening number from "The Producers" with my walker...heh!)

I love the Ocean Advice; and added "Whistle a Happy Tuna" in my head.

PS: I'm such a lazy slouch...I need to photograph my only cat teapot, and post it here. I saw it in a store window years ago, and couldn't bear the thought of somebody else owning it, so I bought it. I've never actually used it; I just look at it and smile. A LOT.

Comment by sk8eycat on April 21, 2013 at 10:12am: Oh, I wish I could go to this symposium, but it's all the way on the other side of the USA from where I am, and I can't afford even the train coach fare (I refuse to put up with the airport insecurity paranoia). Anyway...have a look:

I have a very dear e-friend who lives in DC, and I'm going to try to twist his arm...not really...I think he would be interested in the subject, too. (I "met" him 12 years ago on another atheist web site.)

Comment by Joan Denoo on April 21, 2013 at 2:08am: Ian, a good collection of puns.

Patricia, I am surprised how close she was willing to be to the humans. A very special video.

Ruth, I have never seen Cyriak before and it is quite a treat.

Loren, thanks.

Comment by Ian Mason on April 21, 2013 at 12:11am: A little advice for lovers of puns.

Comment by Chris Breman on April 20, 2013 at 11:38pm: A good reaction, Patricia, I'll remember it the next time someone starts again.

Comment by Patricia on April 20, 2013 at 10:40pm: New baby.....

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on April 20, 2013 at 7:49pm: It’s great to hear you’re not in pain, Joan.

Patricia, rat hygiene moment, cute!

Hey Loren, I loved the thousand years of music. Cyriak is always fun too. But the giant teddy bears carrying and eating pedestrians was creepier than usual. The walking-tire cars were a hoot. Cars jumping to an upside down air-street, Inception inspired? Funny I feel a bit dissociated after watching that.
