This group is intended to discuss, and debate some of the medicinal reasons that MEDICINAL CANNABIS should be considered in the state of VIRGINIA. This group does not encorage illegal activities and there will be no illegal drugs or narcotics at the events, and meetings.

Who is a Single Mother by Choice? A single woman who makes the deliberate choice to start a family in which she will be her child’s (or children's) sole parent. Typically a career woman in her 30’s or 40’s who wants to have a child before it’s too late. Some of us use a doctor to undergo donor insemination (ICI/IUI/IVF), adopt in the US or abroad, or chooses a known donor using the "old fashioned way" or ICI at home. Single motherhood is ideally for the woman who feels she has much to give a ch …

We have always known there was something different about us. Growing up, we were often misunderstood and our knowledge and abilities were suppressed because we just wanted to get along and fit in with our families and friends. We feel a strong connection with the natural world, plants, animals and nature, yet we struggle with physical concepts such as time and money management. We know we are here to serve a purpose, which includes a massive and global shift in awareness. Perhaps we have been me …

In my experience in working with many client's, one of the most effective fitness methods for helping one to loose weight and increase energy is to run. Why is this? Running, recruits practically, all the muscles in our bodies. Particularly beneficial is the recruitment of our large muscle groups. Using these muscles allows for greater calories and fat burn leading to a strong, learner, healthier YOU! What is different about this fitness boot camp is that we will use running as a centerpiece  of …

The dissertation process can be so isolating, which makes it difficult to keep up the momentum needed to complete a PhD. We'll meet regularly to check in, to share what's working for us and what's keeping us from making progress, and to provide feedback and encouragement. And then we'll celebrate together when we finally finish!

As Fathers of special needs children, much of our time is spent busily supporting the family, going to or attentively finding out how doctor's appointments went, advocating for our kid(s), and simply doing our level headed best to keep it all above water.  It's helpful to know we're not the only ones out there, to have a few peers to connect with, and perhaps learn from each other's experiences as we do everything we can to help our kids and family cope with their unique challenge(s). A local Me …

It's hard enough being an adult without having to worry about your health everyday. Living with type-1 diabetes can make you feel alienated and alone. The frequent doctor's visits, the poking and prying, the prescription costs, the nosy but well-meaning family members, and the meal planning can all be so OVERWHELMING. This group's purpose is to meet with other type-1 diabetics who are successfully and not so successfully "managing" their blood sugar. I certainly don't have everything figured out …

This is a group dedicated to bringing geeky, nerdy, and super awesome people together to rejoice in our passions!

There are a ton of amazing nerdy Meetup groups, but I was hoping to make some events closer to home in Columbia, rather than Baltimore or DC. Really, all of Howard Count …
