The Moon Garden Lounge

WELCOME TO THE MOON GARDEN

The Moon Garden Lounge is dedicated to the discussion of ALL things Adam, broadly defined, from the serious to the fun-loving. Nothing is sacred, including the idea that nothing is sacred. There are no limits on the ideas that can be expressed or the questions that can be asked here. Here is the place for talking about the whole tapestry of Adam, his journey, and your own.

All the normal Adamtopia rules apply here. Please respect the fact that freedom of thought and development of ideas require peace, tolerance, space, equality, and compassion. You are in the same room here with your fellow human beings. This is a place for respect, for wit, for intelligence, for having a good time. Talk to each other like we're all having a drink at the same table.

Everyone is welcome and you don't have to be an egghead -- just order your adult beverage of choice -- coffee, tea, or something stronger -- and join right in.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the place for me?

If it looks fun to you, probably yes. If it doesn't look fun, probably no and that is OK. Most of us post on lots of other threads and we'll see you there!

How is this thread different from The Dark Side thread?

This thread took root in another thread called The Dark Side, which was created so people who needed to vent their frustrations about this Adam journey could share and discuss those ideas in a safe place.

It turned out that Adam fans come in many different flavors. So that EVERYONE could speak freely and have fun, we divided into two threads. Many people post in both!

The Dark Side is a place where news and opinions that might be considered too unpopular or negative on other threads can be discussed and analyzed freely and in-depth. Want to start off your day with a good debate? Well, what are you waiting for?!

The Moon Garden Lounge is a place for the dreamers and rainbow chasers ... a place where some see things that are and ask why ... and others see things that never were and ask, why not? Kick back and relax...general conversation and drinks all around...on the house.

Don't like either one? That's OK too! All we ask is that both spaces be allowed to exist for fans that may be a different flavor than you.

Why Hello, Dark Adam. Are you the barista here now?

Thanks Junie for the link and Jamie for creating the thread. I feel bad that I didn't do this a long time ago, but I thought everyone was content staying on the "dark side." I thought you guys knew that you could start you own thread. Sorry--I have started a thread in the salon before with this whole purpose in mind and it died :(. Skylar has tried many times as well.

Junie, did you send links to everyone who has been posting moon gardeny things? I really want everyone to stay and play here!

Maybe someone more eloquent can describe the "vibe" in the moon garden.

Tomorrow I intend to send personal invitations to ATOPPERS who I think like this vibe and refer them to read some of the great things left behind on the dark thread so they can join us in the conversation.

ETA: Junie, just saw your link on the dark thread. Thanks!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!! Nice!!

Thank you, juniemoon, for the PM!

Thank you, jamie, for creating this thread!!

I so love the moon for many personal reasons. So glad to see it's the first picture here. When I need to talk to my Mom or Dad, both deceased, I often look to the moon and visit with them then. Their song was *I'll be seeing you* from the WWII era. The Bing Crosby version was their favorite.

One part goes *I'll be looking at the moon, and I'll be seeing you*.

I was really missing my Dad yesterday, on Father's Day, but there wasn't much of a moon out there. Just a tiny sliver, but I still wished him a Happy Father's Day and had a short visit. He was such a very gentle man. Someone posted Dance With My Father Again on twitter. I listened to it, shed a few tears and then felt a bit better.

LOL! Got a bit side tracked there. Oops! Anyway, this is awesome and I'm happy to see those who have showed up so far.

Jamie, that moon pic is mesmerizing. Think I'll just look at it for a while. Ohhhhhhhhh, and the bridge, lake and cottage. How nice is that? So relaxing after a tough day at work. And, for once, it wasn't my fault things were messed up, but it was a struggle to try & fix it and no one seemed to want to listen to me, well except for one gal who is always nice and helpful. But, by then, it was a bit late to fix what happened earlier and things were off the whole day. Oh well, over & done. Going to let it go and just relax here for a while & then get some sleep. Been up since 3:15AM but don't want to go to bed too soon & wake up really early tomorrow as I don't have to work then....lol!

I do seem to ramble on when I'm tired, don't I? LOL! Somehow, I don't think you mind here, and there's always the old *scroll* feature. HAH!!

Mika, I hope you find your way here and continue to post as much as you are able. I always find your posts very interesting and would miss that so much!

Do we still have the big tent & all the floor pillows? I'm ready to kick back & relax!

ETA: ugh! typos...lol!

Alison, we really didn't know we could start a thread! I hope we have better luck with this one than the ones you referred to earlier. I hope skylar comes out to play, I love her. Please invite anyone you think would love it here.

Moving is hard work. Tomorrow, glittergma, we'll move in all the pillows and Moroccan decor. If anybody has anything in the old thread they were particularly fond of, just go back and get it and bring it over here.

And what is a moving day without pizza and beer for everyone who shows up? I found a kale pizza:



And here's to new beginnings and good friends and good conversation:



Night all.
