Lobby Guidelines
You've made it through the revolving doors and now you can mingle and mill about. If you feel like spamming, please head down the hall to the right to the RecRoom. But, if you'd like to meet people, chat about nothing in particular, you know...have polite conversation that doesn't seem to fit easily into any of the other rooms, this is the place!
The Lobby is not for serious debates, there are other areas for those types of conversations. It is more for relaxed chatting or discussing things that don't fit elsewhere. Politics, religion and philosophy have their own place on the site
But remember, always play by the rules: here

I certainly appreciate the family dynamic - so I'll add Isaiah, Michael, and Tree (Theresa).
But I cannot bring myself to use that emoji - so - for the three of you:The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Her Mommy (my daughter) went through some wild teenage rebellion, and it has taken her nearly 25 years to come out of it.
Heidi went through some of the same teenage rebellion, but I'm pleased to say after about 6 months, Heidi woke up and said, "this is stupid - I need to focus on being an adult".
Heidi has been a tremendous supporter of her Mommy, who has been through drug rehab and is doing WAY better, and THIS TIME, it seems to be "real".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I love the pic, so I keep it around!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
