on the meditation tip.... should we start a group

i'm bouncing around the idea of starting a secular meditation group. i'd like to know vaguely how many people would parttake if such a group existed. here's the basic deal: meditation is best when done daily, even for short sittings. often people burn out on it, going whole hog right out of the gate...

Offer: books on Zen and Buddhism. I have no use for them.

Ok so here I am sitting on a collection of books about Buddhism, mostly Zen. They were collected at a time I was interested, and I'm hoping to find a recipient who could use them all, possibly a new student to Zen and/or Buddhism. It's been several years since I even glanced at one of them, and it's...

Members encouraged to attend Board of Directors Mtg 4/9/12

personally i'd like to see more members attend all Board of Directors Meetings, but this for one in a proposed agenda item is the effect of two (now former)members who believed they uncovered problems with how the co op is run. in my opinion it would be wise for individual co op members to hear for ...

Re: any leads on a good gynecologist?

yes, i realized as i was posting that it's really impossible to say for sure who would be good for any particular person, but i figured this would be a good place to take a shot in the dark.

thank you for the response.

any leads on a good gynecologist?

i'm firing my gynecologist, and i'm tired of the trial-and-error method of selecting doctors. word of mouth also hasn't served me well, actually, because i selected my obstetrician that way and the birth was horrid. the women who gave that doctor rave reviews, turns out, actually like the pat-on-the...

one member's feeling on the subject

is that it does belong on co op shelves, if co op members want it. it's my understanding that a decision was made years ago that the co op is NOT a vegan organization, when they began carrying free grazing and organic dairy and eggs. i personally get the dry heaves even thinking about consuming fish...

i wouldn't know the first thing about the terms of sale. i do know i was never officially notified by the court that the house is in foreclosure, which seems to indicate that any sheriff's sale is pretty far off in the future. they would be required to give me (i think) 60 days notice, if not 90. i ...
