I know how you feel. I get most of my social needs met by this site. The other social is talking with my parents on the phone, but there is very little of my time spent with people in person. It's the internet or telephone. I do have the Audubon club, but it's usually one day per month and that's 29 days of not being with people. I could start a meet up for arts and crafts at the local coffee shop, but I don't know. My daughter visits every couple of weeks, but she's off with friends, so I get a couple of hours here and there. I know you take classes and have mentioned doing research. I need to search for some things to meet my social needs and I like to learn new things. I just don't know how to find a way to meet those needs. My area doesn't have a lot going on. Most clubs are in Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., Baltimore, etc. Which is way too far to drive; especially if the event is at night. I wish I could help you, but I need help in this area myself, so I'm at a loss. Please post if you come up with some ideas and I will think about it too and post if I come up with anything. Thanks. Well, at least we're in the same boat which is better than being alone in a boat :)
