Cozy Place For 50+ Members and others too!
Good morning This is a place that started because there was no way to private message between members. So, feel free to chat together here!
I couldn't figure out a good way for members to chat, so I've set up a tiny house for us here. :) Anyone can join us, but at least we have an easy way for members to find each other now. Notice the house has a pet bed-- I love animals. I currently have a black and white kitty and I used to have a dog too, but he passed in N200ov. Do you have any pets?
I dont talk to listeners, generally, gave up on chat rooms now. I am sure Pam will hate me now. I wasnt complaining. Now you made me an outcast. Thanks.

I do not nor would ever not stop talking to you. I have been sick for 3 weeks now. Pease do not give up on the listeners.
@pamharley003 Im sorry you have been sick. My first statement was I hope Pam is Ok. If I had been told at that point you were unavailable, and we will let you know when wed. nite discussions will return it would have been different.. Hope you are feeling better. You tc.
And its not just Pam. Who would talk to me now? I wouldnt.
@Lauren63
I will always talk to you when I am online. Panda and I also have open chats on Monday in 50plus and Pam and I are in 35+ a lot also.
@Lauren63 Still talking to you too ☺️. Sorry you have been working so much. Not even sure that is legal. Anyway you can always talk about stuff here, even if chats aren
Hi everyone. Now that the weather is getting cooler, it is time to have a nice cozy place for members to hang out. Here you go. Opening up this cozy room again.
Why?
@Lauren63 so members have a place they can talk about things that are on their mind. It is just a reminder that there are places we can share together.
@Lauren63 Hi there! I
Thos is the greatest thing that i dreamt in my life. I knew I could find shelter and security among the 50 comunity. I want and wish to reach 50, someday maybe I will...I love your comunity and your vibe...
@carefulCup1049 glad to have you in the community. If you want other avenues like discussions you can find them here
I hope someone will.come to this safe place...
Thank you for creating this corner, amazing idea...
@carefulCup1049
I wish someone dear could come in here...my wish....
@carefulCup1049 I
@Zengrl
Thank you for your nice words...
Feelings are confusing and contradicting. I am a perpetual child yet sometimes I feel like 80...
I miss my characteristic calm amd my friend...yes, I miss her because she understood my conditions and we could talk and play...
I feel robbed...
@carefulCup1049 I don
@Zengrl
It's ok, I know, I just vented for a bit and it is hard to miss someone...we all know that...
Anyway, once again this is a great idea. The best on site. Another idea was a comunity here on 7cups who tried to make support buddies with their members and I think it worked welll...I don't remember which community was it..
So great, this space is great and I'm happy for everyone coming here🤗
I am 65, well past 50. Finding a nice place where I can just relax and be myself is a very good thing. I am not a bad person, just a bit different from other folks. Many reasons for that, and I think most people are different in many ways.
@Offmytrack I think Im very much feeling like your words today. Im thinking about creating a group at my school.
Good idea, @Zengrl I'm sure you will do well with it.
Many of us preffer to use the expression "I don't know..." because it is convenient and prevents us from thinking...
"What is wrong with you?"
"I don't know...", it is maddening, I know...
There is this tremendous sadness that weighs on my shoulders for a very long time, it gets worst at night and when I wake up and it hunts me with nightmares...
I have lost interest in everything...nothing interests me or gives me pleasure...a severe case of chronic depression...
Why ask "why" when the answer is "I don't know"...
I try to drink when I can to alleviate this state of mind but naturally that does not help...
So many, many years lost and wasted, so many opportunities kicked away...
For once, I just want to live for one year...
It's ok, I won't do that either...when you are too weak and you know yourself, you are just a joke...
I am so glad that I found this quiet corner to think and be calm, it helps me alot...
@carefulCup1049
I need to find my peace and I do not know how, I am helpless....
Reason, meaning, purpose...
"My neck is swallowing again"...smth I learned tosay recently...I feel in my imagination that my neck is swallowing and I can feel it too...
I never had a journal but this quiet place does me good...
@carefulCup1049 Well this place is definitely a good place to start conversations. I do think 7 Cups also has a place for journals, if you want to do that as well ☺️.
@carefulCup1049 mindfulness can help me find a quiet place. We have soothing videos for mindfulness here https://www.7cups.com/forum/MindfulnessSupportCommunity_106/ResourceLibrary_1062/
I just love this for background music https://www.7cups.com/forum/MindfulnessCenter_106/ResourceLibrary_1062/RelaxingMusicandVideosformindfulness_121002/
@soulsings
Thank you so much...I remember with gladness when I participated to a mindfulness discussion in the 50 comunity the quality of the materials presented. They made me feel good in an authentic surprising way and I was taken aback, baffled a bit...very good material...and very good people and atgmosphere while I was there and it made me sad at the time for being late...ty again...
@soulsings
In my opinion they should be included and shuffeled in the growth path witch has become just a repetitive form and nothing else...
@reservedComputer8349 glad you find mindfulness helpful.
That is a great idea to have mindfulness in the growth path.
@carefulCup1049 you seem that you have reached a point where you are ready for the path of inner discovery. It is a whole new world. Mindfulness helps me refocus. Glad to hear of your ruminations.
I like this place. Several people I follow on Dreamwidth do something similar, and it's the closest thing I've found to the alt.callahans newsgroup back in the day.
*looks around* This place needs furniture.
@stressBear Feel free to add stuff. A hammock would be nice 👍.
@stressBear I am adding a few reclining chairs
@stressBear
I can start the fire pit and bring a guitar
@reservedComputer8349 *the bear goes out and comes back with a leopard-spotted beanbag chair slung over one shoulder, an oddly-shaped travel guitar on the other shoulder, and carrying a plate piled high with chocolate chip cookies*
*He sets down the beanbag chair and flops onto it.*
@stressBear
Welcome bear...😊
@stressBear Sounds great 😊
@Zengrl
Your house is sooo cosy and nice, thank you for harboring us in, lost souls...
