Hang With Friends

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 The Flying Atheist on June 6, 2014 at 10:25pm: Felaine, that's really cool. Great skating and choreography. What a little gem from the past! How wonderful it must for you to see that. Thanks so much for sharing.

Comment by Ian Mason on June 6, 2014 at 9:48pm: That's an impressive performance, Felaine even in its blurry state.

Comment by Randall Smith on June 6, 2014 at 7:33am: Thanks all for "making my day"! I'm still chuckling.

Comment by Ian Mason on June 5, 2014 at 11:50pm: Nice one, Patricia but I have met some people who make it seem effortless.

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on June 5, 2014 at 6:55pm: Good quote, Patricia.

Comment by sk8eycat on June 5, 2014 at 12:58pm: My 7th Grade English teacher had a permanent sign above the blackboard: "Alright" is NOT all right! I've never forgotten that, but I see "alright" everywhere now.

About the Cialis and Viagra comm'ls...they make me angry because most insurance plans have no problem with paying doctors prescribe them, but still won't cover contraceptives for women.

I wonder if the religious bigots at Hobby Lobby and other "xian" companies who are fighting against their employees having insured access to birth control have objections to their insurance companies paying for those medications....

Spay and neuter your kids!

Comment by The Flying Atheist on June 5, 2014 at 10:59am: Oh, goodness me!! LOL Yes, the man was wandering through the desert, not the dessert. Thanks for pointing that out.

Comment by Plinius on June 5, 2014 at 10:47am: Now that we talk about spelling you give us another wonderful image, FA! The man with the car door wandering through after dinner sweets - plodding in the pudding? Climbing up a chunk of pineapple? I should photoshop images like that!

Comment by The Flying Atheist on June 5, 2014 at 10:03am: Randall, I'm reminded of the joke where a guy is discovered wandering through the dessert carrying a car door. When asked why he's carrying the door the man replies, "If it gets hot, I can roll down the window."
