Our original group Book Lovers Never Go To Bed Alone was so popular I decided to start a second chapter so we wouldn't get to big and not be fun anymore.

It's a group for sharing and socializing about literature and our lives. We get together once a month in Oceanside, discuss the book and sometimes other stuff.

Let's all step our of our comfort zones together and meet new people who already have common interests; so we're not trying to convince our friends or family to do things with us that they're not excited about (like I used to do)... why not make the effort to meet new kindred spirits who already have the …

Hello my Encinitas Budding Chefs!

By the way, if you have a favorite hole in the wall, medium priced or high end place you love, love, love to eat at, and you talk to the owner asking if he/she would like Chef Marian to …

Hi, From what I understand, it is nearly impossible to coordinate and schedule a meetup group amongst parents with children that suffer from OCD. I understand and I get it. With that said, what was the next game plan to a willingness of wanting to help? I simply wanted to create an information network, so to speak, in being able to share information with others that find themselves at wits end. Be they a newcomer to this condition or adjusting to it with time, I felt compelled to create a netw …
