The new, private version of the WTM politics group. Send a request to join if you want to discuss or read about politics from any part of the world.

<p>Food storage, emergency preparedness, zombie slaying skills... whatever.</p>

Being the parent of an older teen or adult child can be just as challenging as many other stages of parenthood. This group is for parents of young people age 17 and up. I hope that this space can be a safe place to vent and process these challenges, while also soliciting feedback from other parents who are in the trenches or who have been there and made it through this struggle . I also hope that we can rejoice with one another when we manage to muddle through these challenges. I'm hoping that there are some other parents out there who can offer commiseration, gentle suggestions, support, and empathy when I'm struggling and I'd love to offer some to someone else who's in the same boat. I picture this group as a circle of people, sitting around a fireplace, sipping tea, coffee or hot cocoa. When our sister weeps, we hold her hand. When one shares a victory, we rejoice together. When someone asks for feedback, we gently mention things that may have worked for our family or something we read that might be of help.

Questions, answers, advice, and support.

<p>For parents who homeschool</p> <p>(or would like to)</p> <p>and who have Adult ADD/ADHD</p> <p>(or think they might).</p>

A place to discuss politics from any political viewpoint from any part of the world. Please remember that we don't all come into this with the same perspective. Here are the current rules: -Treat each respectfully. -No ad hominem attacks of other group members. -Do not tell other people how to vote. We are here to discuss politics, not the voting decisions of group members. -Don't bother SWB. -You don't have to read any thread that offends you, but feel free to present your point of view. -Posters whose comments do not engender thoughtful discussion may be removed from the group.

<p>For families with a child or children with Aspergers. Share, support and learn... :-)</p>

<p>Whether we call them crockpots or slow cookers, whether we use them them for soups or desserts, we are united in our loathing of cream of cr*p soup as an ingredient.</p> <p> </p> <p> So, post about your crockpot or slow cooker here. Post your tried and true, or tried and goo recipes. But most of all share your abilities to cook a great meal in an electric device without having to resort to cream of cr*p soup.</p>

<p>This group is for those that are homeschooling with 5+ children and is for discussion dealing with how we manage our homes and schedule our lessons.</p>

<p>This is a group for those of us who have hit that 35+ mark and need new ideas for losing weight. We can post our meals, tips, exercises and results here. It is also a good place to get a good kick in the butt to get off the couch.</p>

<p>This group will consist of various "Challenges" and/or "Contests" pertaining to diet, exercise and weight loss. You may join any of the Challenges that interest you. Some will run for specific lengths of time, others will be ongoing. Are you in? :)</p>

<p>Here is a place for everyone interested in foster care and/or adoption--whether it is adoption through foster care, infant domestic, international. Issues, questions, vents, reading recommendations, etc.</p>

<p>For anyone who has to deal with someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).</p>

<p>Minimalist wannabes to experts welcome!</p>
