This group is about more than just finding a potential dating partner or a healthy mate. This group is also about forming friendships with sober minded people that like to get out of their home …

We would like to keep the group limited to babies born in 2010 to first-time parents. Our hope is for all of us and our children to build long-lasting friendships with each other. Maybe somed …

This is just for fun.  Our city is beautiful!  Let's descend upon some of it's loveliest parks, courtyards, over-grown alleyways and graffiti covered train yards.  Let's land like a flock of geese with our long legged easels and respectfully take over a public place for a progressive form of loitering.  We can stay a couple of hours, splash around some colors, soak up some sun,  and then move on to somewhere nearby for a drink and to appreciate each others' unique perspectives and talents. Prac …

ISTA - I Survived The Apocalypse. . . and all I got was this lousy T-shirt! Any one of several different types of catastrophes could potentially disrupt the shipment of food to local grocery stores, stop the flow of fresh drinking water or disrupt electrical service to your house.  If its a small scale event, these things will only take a few days to restore, but longer lasting inconveniences could spark civil unrest.  As people begin to run out of their own personal food and water storage supp …
