Let's meet and talk about topics from philosophy to misosophy, politics to economics, religion to atheism. Let's pick questions and dwell on them together over a cup of tea, a glass of wine or a beer. Everybody is welcome to join and discuss in an environment of tolerance where other members will support your viewpoints or politely challenge them. Or if you just want to listen to some funny, outrageous or brilliant ideas, then come aboard.

Let's discuss books, make new friends and have fun. Once we know each other we can plan other activities such as games, walks or ...? It would be cool if they went with the theme of the book we were reading. Seeking positive people who are open to others' ideas and points of view, enjoy a respectful debate of differeng views on what we're reading.

No more sliding around or playing with our recovery. I had amazing recovery, and then I lost it. A lot of bad stuff hit all a …
