Hey David,
My raison d'etre is my Granddaughter, I found out she was coming at the same time I found out I had Cancer, it softened the blow and gave me hope.
We have a Forum for discussing everything Social - music, tv, literature or anything on your mind:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum35.html
That way these Threads are kept relatively on-topic, not that things are really strict with additions. It is also more of an experience if you explore the other Fora (!) and immerse yourself totally. It is surprising what is relevant and what you can learn across the Boards.
Dave.
