Why are you here?

Information and to connect with others. See what perspectives other people may have on a subject. Lots of people here have all kinds of life experiences to share.
 

I really enjoy discussing things with people outside my normal social circle. I like knowing what others think, especially if their opinions and views are different from my own. This forum has a diverse group of very intelligent people, and I get to see a variety of viewpoints which broadens my own views.
 
I was on a baby boomer group for about 5 years and then it went bust and just closed down. I tried two other forums and didn't really like them. Found the best one right here! :)

Good variety of topics from sweet, funny, interesting, maddening, with mature people. Okay not always mature but that's okay. :D
 

I ike the sharing. Info, games, fun, opinions, sorrows, fears, the whole 9 yards. It's great to meet people from all over the world too. Mostly I find it intellectually stimulating and I love that as well. I want to keep my mind sharp, (but not pointy).

I stay because it's friendly and fun and the people are interesting and great to connect with, the conversations and discussions meaningful and the games are good for my brain.
 
I joined to interact with people my own age who have similar interests. To share Ideas and to ask advice. I enjoy the variety of comments and posts....some serious and some fun. It's a great place to hang out.
 
I have found a place where it is acceptable to be a multi-dimensional person. Where an ageless mind is not only welcome, but encouraged. From irreverent silliness, to serious debate, it keeps my thoughts whirring away. Growth is always possible, I refuse to let my mind turn into a tomb, and I love the diversity. This is a cool place. Mermaid out.
 
I like coming to this forum because I've met some nice folks (and a couple of special ones) here. Sharing, discussing and getting to know all of you has brought an added dimension to my rather secluded life. So thank you to all of you. I appreciate every one of you:love_heart:

For the quality of the social and intellectual stimulation that the Forum consistently provides. It would be great to have three dimensional people in my life who were willing to engage in what the Forum provides, but alas that just isn't the case.

Whoaaaaaaaaaa, you hit the nail on the head, it would be nice to talk with people about real things in person Josiah, but it's somehow easier to get folks talking in writing/typing. So that's the beauty of the forum, and sometimes the ugly of it too, LOL! But here we are, humans;)
 
I got here because of a hilarious picture someone thought up for garbage day for old folks! One of my friends couldn't open the picture so I followed URL and decided that you were a bunch of cool folks and I stayed.
 
I did think from the title of the thread that this was maybe a philosophical thing AZ, but no, ah well.
As most people state, I like this forum because of the generally light approach that most people take to the threads, no vitriol here as on some . I learn a lot from it, don't always understand what items or foodstuffs actually are (being a limey)but do my best to understand the politics, which are different to here.I dip in and out of the threads, and though we don't meet each other I do feel that I know you, which is rather nice.:)

Ahhh OA I hadn't thought of that but now that you bring it up, why are we here (as in here on earth). Hmmmmm now I have something else to worry about...maybe a missed assignment....Hmmmmmm
 
I came here, originally because my husband passed away not too long ago, and I live way out in the country, it is kind of isolated, and noone to talk to except my old dog, and i cannot drive all the way into town every night to talk to real people. I stayed because you all are interesting and very nice!
Petula

PS. thanks for the note about Alfie, do not remember that movie, but now i cannot wait to watch it!
 
Petula, I assure you that when you are here you are engaging "real" people and you've saved that drive to town. Please feel free to start some threads about things that interest you, I guarantee someone will want to discuss it with you. I know too, how hard it is having lost hubby, I hope time heals at least somewhat.
 
As a newbie, I'm finding a deep well of entertainment and thought provoking info in this site. Some of you are so quick and clever with your comments and responses, I'm astonished. I can see that it could be a little addictive so I want to find a balance between this and some "getting out and about" every day. But already you are one of my favorites, Jim!
