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.

Started by Loren Miller. Last reply by Ruth Anthony-Gardner yesterday. 2 Replies 3 Likes

Trae Crowder isn't just about atheism. He has a deep and abiding concern about what's going on with this planet's climate and the all-too-probable catastrophe we face from a fundamental change in weather patterns. That said, Trae is thinking about…Continue

concealing abuse (TheraminTrees)

Started by Loren Miller. Last reply by Loren Miller Sep 3. 2 Replies 3 Likes

We think of institutionalized child abuse and for many of us, the natural reaction is to think of the Catholic Church. Certainly, their guilt is beyond question, even as the headlines of the Boston Globe early in 2002 and the more recent news…Continue

Many men join in the effort to reduce violence against women and children and other men. He speaks of the need to place responsibility on men instead of focusing on women to stop violence. He offers a breath of fresh air, as do so many of the men on…Continue

worshipping narcissists (qualiasoup & theramintrees)

Started by Loren Miller. Last reply by Ruth Anthony-Gardner Aug 4. 2 Replies 5 Likes

They're all around us: people who perceive the world as revolving around them and will go to considerable lengths to make it so: narcissists. Such beings have been with humanity, I suspect, since humanity emerged from the gene pool. Even worse,…Continue

Comment by Randall Smith on February 21, 2018 at 8:01am: To answer Ian's question:

Honduras, especially the capital, Tegucigalpa, is a pig sty. People more than "litter"-- they dump. Garbage of all kinds line the streets. The huts they live in are deplorable. Men urinate out in the open. The streets and traffic are nightmarish.

Outside of Teguc, it's not much better. Only the scenery is nicer. Why my daughter and husband enjoy living there is a mystery to me. They just have the compassion and faith to help the needy. To me, it's a spit in the ocean.

I understand the president (Hernandez) is trying to do something, but the present culture prevents a total makeover. It's quite sad and depressing.

Comment by Patricia on February 20, 2018 at 9:58pm: Thanks, but am not up to speed with learning my way around it just yet, so am still on the old one for now.

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on February 20, 2018 at 9:53pm: Congrats on the new computer, Patricia.

Comment by Patricia on February 20, 2018 at 3:44pm: I have heard nobody say anything positive about Windows 8 or 8.1!

Comment by Loren Miller on February 20, 2018 at 3:34pm: I'm running Windows 10, but I have to believe it will run on other platforms. In fact, I just checked and Cliqz says it'll run on Windows 7 and 8 ... though WHY would you want to run Win8??? [grin!]

Comment by Patricia on February 20, 2018 at 3:23pm: I just got a brand new laptop with lighted keyboard, & blue light protector (macular degeneration), & it has Windows 10.

I also have a Chromebook & may give it a try on there first.

I've been on Ubuntu & Mint for a few years, so Windows is rather strange to me now.
