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.

I'm going to keep this one short and sweet. Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian, has seen what is going on with the current occupant of the Oval Office, and my impression is that she is not at all happy with it. True to her citizenship,…Continue

If you could rid the world of one thing, what would it be?

Today, I heard Seth Andrews talk about the question, "If you could rid the world of one thing, what would it be?" My first thought was religion, but after a few seconds I decided it would be irrational or anti-scientific thinking. That would take…Continue

While I've been peripherally aware of him for a while, David Smalley has not spent much time in the center of my focus when it came to scoping out atheist material on YouTube or elsewhere ... at least up until now. His talk – Eating Our Own – came…Continue

Comment by Bertold Brautigan on January 10, 2017 at 7:53pm: Ian - that's great. You'll have an amazing time. (Good timing too, while we're still here.)

Comment by Ian Mason on January 10, 2017 at 7:32pm: I'm seriously considering a trip to the U.S. this August with a possible itinery of New York, Washington and Charleston (for the eclipse). Do any of you have any tips? Should I do things in the order above or in reverse? I know that those places are hot and humid at that time of year.

Comment by Chris on January 8, 2017 at 10:48pm: Looks like what was being called the Pinapple express moved south.

Comment by Joan Denoo on January 8, 2017 at 12:41am: Spud, those Idaho laws have to be among the funniest in the nation. I wonder what brought them to the law books?

Comment by Joan Denoo on January 8, 2017 at 12:35am: Danial, good news, and bad news, indeed. I hope there is no damage and that you find a remedy that works.

A storm came through Newport the other night with -18 degree F. Your expected storm looks as tough it might be a bad one.

Comment by The Flying Atheist on January 8, 2017 at 12:10am: Looks great, Daniel. I really love the color scheme and your choice of tile. I hope the frozen pipes haven't caused damage.

I'm not surprised at all the crazy laws that are or once were on the books. Afterall, there was a time when it was scandalous to see a woman's bare ankles.

Comment by kathy: ky on January 7, 2017 at 11:24pm: Daniel it looks wonderful so far. Major improvement over the last photos. Do you have heat tape on your water pipes that run inside the house.
