The purpose of this group is to meet other people who have a similar interest in checking out Trinidad's Carnival in 2013.  The summer is quickly approaching and reservations need to be made.  The cost of everything increases, and the availability of costumes and accomodations decreases the closer we get to the end of the year.  If you've heard about it from someone who actually went, it's sooooo much fun...so maybe 2013 is YOUR year to go! Let's meetup and see if we can assist each other in our …

The daily lives of most of us are full of things that keep us busy and preoccupied with mundane concerns. We miss the sacred, so every now and then we find ourselves drawing-back and wondering what is it all about. And then. perhaps we may internally begin exploring perennial questions that we don't normally stop to examine. This can happen with regard to any aspect of our lives. This study group is deliberately designed for those among us who are curious, enthusiastic, non-judgemental, and wond …

Inspired by the Medved books of the 80s. People get together at my house in Sunnyside every other month, the 4th Sunday of odd months, and we watch and heckle, hillariously bad movies. It's like being in MST3K. People bring munchies or their own lunch. Some bring guest bad movies. No porn or slashers, just over- or underacting, cheap sets, weird writing, and all-out lousy filmmaking. Examples include Project Moonbase, Robot Monster, Massacre Mafia Style, and "Titanic, the Animated Musical!" Th …

PMDD is defined by the degree to which it interferes with social life, family and home life, and work and school. Women with PMDD find that their premenstrual symptoms are truly debilitating for anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks before …
