IDK. Depends on the chapter. I was in one that was primarily fund-raising. I wasn't interested in selling candy bars door-to-door to cover my admission to the zoo or for Komen, so I switched. I could handle that on my own. The playgroup was only one aspect tho. They also went on weekly visits to local places, monthly meetings, in the large group with all ages of kids. We did things for us and took turns group babysitting. Loads of resources. Do you have a gymboree nearby?

"I have decided that I was wanting to date for the wrong reasons-loneliness- I will occupy myself with other activities and date when I am ready for the potential of liking someone enough to build a relationship with them.

Alas I am no longer wild and free like I was in my 20s and just not able to emotionally be casual if you know what I mean.

However, I WILL keep up the mystery lol! "

I know what you mean. It would be a great self-esteem builder, too. Too messy for me right now. I did post a profile on Match but didn't subscribe. That alone was fun. I was able to see what was out there that would be interested in me. My girlfriends have taken me to the nightclubs but it is cougarville where I live. If I want a fun night of no strings S or a boy toy, I know where to go!

I still feel married. Once I go down that path (seeing other men) I don't think I would ever turn back and in the long run, I would end up lonelier.

Sooner than you think, you will be involved with cub scouts, soccer and baseball and pre-school!
