For many years I had regular Friday night social gatherings of close friends. We'd often vent our frustrations at the stupidity of the system around us that glorified superficial choices and failed to support people.  Sometimes we just hung out, other times we'd work on a project together.  We'd show up at a friends house with five vehicles for  a one-day household move that ended with pizza and laughter instead of frustration and stubbed toes.  We had movie nights and made mead and hosted dinne …

In the words of Jack Nicholson, are you 'Suckered in, set up, pushed around?' Don't worry, whatever you've been doing thus far is not As Good as It Gets. Are you saddled with an active brain, a healthy dose of cynicism, a great sense of humor with a sharp wit (maybe even some acerbic sarcasm), bit of shyness, possibly a latent mental disorder or two, some good old fashioned baggage, and perchance stuck between arrogance and lacking self-confidence? Do others see you as aloof but in reality, you …

Do you want a place where you can discuss your deepest feelings about yourself and the society we live in, in a supportive atmosphere? Many times, the culture we live in frowns upon sharing emotions, problems, anything that's really on our minds. We're expected to put up a front of "Everything's okay" all the time. But this just creates social isolation. The more isolated we are from each other, the more chance depression and anxiety have to breed. I am starting this group because I am not satis …

This group is for anyone interested in sewing, quilting, or crafting while enjoying good conversation. We will meet once a month (perhaps rotating hosting duties). Everyone should bring a project to work on. Hopefully, we can provide inspiration, encouragement, and assistance to fellow fabric crafters.  I set a date for the first meetup, but if that doesn't work for everyone, let's decide on a better time/place.

The purpose of this group is to read and discuss a range of different books. The other purpose is to cultivate friendships through the discussions and share a conglomeration of our individual knowledge on book topics. Most of the books will follow a current related to sustainability, the environment, nutrition (books like the Omnivores Dilemma), farming, and organic lifestyles.
