Once a month, we will meet for a bite/ political talk/Obama whining. As our group grows and we share …

The goal is too assist each other in finding solutions to the problem's that detainee's face while in ICE custody, and how families can best assist family members in detention from the outside.

I've been meaning to found this group for a long time, but I wanted to be somewhere where I'd actually be putting down roots and staying awhile. Finally, that day has come! This is a group for anyone who has a Service Dog or Working Dog of any type accompanying them through this crazy thing we call life. It's also a place where puppyraisers are welcome, as are people who are seeking information - trying to decide if a service dog is a good option for themselves, wanting to know more about the va …

We folks that work from home are the envy of many - we've largely escaped the 'rat race', or at least the commuting and office politics part of it! Some of us work for a company, others work for themselves. Our time is more our own, and we can decide whether or not to check our email in our pajamas. Working from home is great, but sometimes it's nice to get out. Away from the house, and the cat or dog. Oh, and if you do want to get together for a cup of coffee with a friend at 230 PM - everyone …

I'm starting this group to discuss current news. I'm reading challenged to understand news and current affairs. I tried to understand news on TV and cable channels, but most news is presented as views, not as facts. The choices media make, as to what will be in headlines and how they decide to present facts, are interesting. Then came news aggregators like google news. They do a better job of presenting everything that is published, but they are still struggling to get the facts out of new eve …
