- What would help you most when you are facing the low side of ths disorder? (i.e. someone to call you or visit you, someone to go out with, exercise with to get your endorphins going)
- "A phone call or visit from or an outing (e.g. coffeehouse, park) with someone. However, communicating with others is almost always very difficult for me at these times. Sometimes at first I need to isolate for a while and then socialize again."
- What do you like to do for fun that we could possibly do as a group?
- "Hang out, drink coffee & chat. Walk & hang outdoors. Bowl, minigolf. Visit art galleries & museums. Attend political & cultural events. Listen to live music & maybe even dance (uhoh!). Walk & play with pets/animals. Possibly do volunteer work."
- What do you want most out of this meetup group?
- "To have fun, become more comfortable meeting new people, give & receive emotional support, develop "meaningful" relationships."
- Additional information:
- "My passion is researching & learning American & World history, ancient cultures & civilizations, politics, economics, banking & finance, conspiracy, secret societies,"the unexplained" & info needed by others. I'm good at cleaning & organizing. "

Gary assistant organizes this
Meetup
"In my opinion this group is very talented with a lot of potential. There's a core of very committed members, but we will need more structure, and a lot more active membership. Perhaps, as the group's mission and design evolves, and the core educates itself thoroughly on the issues we intend to address, we will recruit and educate more committed and active members."

Pittsburgh Bipolar & Depression Peer Group
"I think the group is good and Lily is an effective organizer/promoter. I enjoy socializing w/ the members. I really like engaging in an activity together, so I support Lily's suggestion of meeting twice monthly, once to hang out at a venue (coffeehouse/cafe[my favorite], restaurant, live music venue, etc.) and once to bowl, hike, tour a museum or art gallery, attend a cultural event, mini golf, etc. "

It was nice talking with you today! Good luck at the polling sites tomorrow!

Glad we are getting a larger group of people supporting Ron Paul.
Wondered if you ride?
It's a good way to help the balance of payments. I get 70mpg on the highway with my Big Ruckus. That's the best way to balance our debts.
Why fight for oil? Just conserve more by our choices in the market and slowing down.I support the troops by conserving oil.
Hope more of us do.
