Weekly Reading Group - Gravity's Rainbow (Madison (downtown/campus))

2009-07-02T22:57:14-05:00

I am trying to see if anyone would be interested in joining a weekly reading group dedicated to Gravity's Rainbow. Unlike a more traditional reading group format, people could just hang out somewhere once a week for maybe 90 minutes, and takes turns reading out loud from the text, starting from page one. Considering that the book is something like 780 pages, the reading group would be sort of a commitment for those who are hoping to hang in there until the end. I am open to suggestions for meeting places, although I guess some place like Union Terrace would be okay early on. The target audience for such a group would be anyone who is at least sort of interested in the book or Pynchon in general. If you are a seasoned Pynchon veteran, you would also be very very welcome. Same goes for people who have fond memories of reading out loud from elementary school and just now had to look up Thomas Pynchon on Wikipedia. So, if you are at all intrigued, please go ahead and send me an email with any questions or comments.

Looking for others with depression who want to talk (Madison area)

2009-06-27T03:48:21-05:00

I know this may sound strange, but I need to do something, so here goes.

I�ve dealt with depression off and on (more on than off) for almost 20 years. And for about the past 10 years, anxiety problems as well. I�ve tried zillions of medications, but still I�m sad. Lately I�ve been noticing that I�m also lonely. I have very few friends in the area. I�ve looked into the various depression groups meeting in the area, but they just don�t fit into my schedule. I was wondering if there are others out there like me, who just need someone understanding to talk to. I�m in no way a psych doc or therapist or anything, but I�ve been dealing with this for years.

So I guess I�m looking to make friends, whether they are phone friends, hang out friends, or e-mail friends who are also dealing with some form of mental illness. Maybe for some reason you can�t leave the house (money, car, etc) or you don�t have a computer at home.

So if you�d like to start a supportive circle of friends, drop me an e-mail & I will give you my number. I look forward to hearing from anyone. Open to everyone and anyone.

Looking for Paranormal Investigaters (Madison area)

2009-06-25T18:39:57-05:00

Ok,
So back in febuary of this year, I was on vacation. And on my vacation I stayed at a haunted hotel. It was my second time there, and belive me I wasnt there to look for ghost.
However the second time I stayed at this hotel, I had a paranormal encounter. I also got some pretty good evidence on my digital camera. Since then, I have been obsessed with trying to understand the paranormal. I have seen every episode of sci-fi's ghost hunters, and ghi. I've bought a few books. And now this is where im at. I want to start a group of like minded people who have had there own encounters, and want to investigate to further their knowledge and understanding of this field. I do now want to do this for the fact that I saw it on tv, or to try and get famous from this. I want to explore for my own understanding. And I think it could be very thrilling to be on a hunt.
SO, I know there are people out there who are into this stuff. Get ahold of me and lets start investigating!!

I have the following equipment, to get started
2 digital cameras
2 digital voice recorders
computers, with software for voice recorders
1 emf meter
2 two radios.

If i did get a group together, I would invest more into ir cameras with dvr, thermal, etc.

I have a pretty cool area I would like to investigate as a group, for a few trial runs.

Anyway, please get ahold of me and lets talk further.

thank you for your time

Free Internet Marketing Mastermind Group - 5 Spots Left (South Eastern,WI)

2009-06-17T00:35:24-05:00

I am starting a completely free local internet marketing mastermind group to provide support and accountability for like-minded individuals looking to make more money online living between South Eastern Wisconsin and Northern IL.

As of right now, I only have 5 spots left. I would like to have regular, roughly 1 hour meetings 1-2 times per month either in person (if possible) or through conference calls. The prefereable schedule would be Wednesday evenings around 8PM CST.

However, this group is not for just anyone. I do have some prequalifications if you are interested in joining this group:

1. You are serious, passionate, excited and dedicated about making money online.
2. You have at least some experience in internet marketing through one or more of the following methods: blogging, creating/selling information products, affiliate marketing, eBay, etc.
3. You are willing to be 100% committed to the success of others in the group as well as your own.
4. You are willing to share your resources and information freely to others in the group.
5. You have made your first dollar online and are looking to make a consistent monthly income online between $500-$2000 per month. (You do not have to be currently making this amount but at least are striving for it.)

There is no preference as to what you are marketing online as in a mastermind group diversity can be a strength. It makes no difference to if you are marketing information products, collectables, physical goods, etc. All backgrounds and experiences are welcome.

If you are totally brand new to internet marketing and have absolutely no experience at all, then this group may not be for you. Likewise, if you are already making well over $2000 per month online this group may not be for you. If you are someone with the desire to get to the next level and just need some honest help, support and accountability from myself and others like you then you are exactly the kind of person I am looking to bring aboard.

There is no charge for to join this group (as long as I feel that you are qualified and accept your application). I simply would like to start this group for like-minded people that have similar goals and are willing to freely support each other 100%. The only investment that is required in this group is your time on a regular and consistent basis.

If you feel that joining a group like this is right for you and you are ready to make a real commitment to yourself and others, please respond to this ad with the following information:
-Name
-City you live in
-Brief history of your internet marketing experience
-An idea of your current projects
-Current internet marketing related goals
-Whether or not 1-2 Wednesday evenings after 8PM CST per month are possible for you (if not please give me an idea of what days and times you could be)
-Why you feel you would be a good contribution to this group and what you would look to get out of it
-Best phone number to reach you at & best times to call you

I look forward to speaking with you soon. Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Eddie

Free Morning Bootcamps (East Madison)

2009-06-16T06:27:36-05:00

A few months ago when I was out of town for work, I took an outdoor bootcamp style workout class for a month and really enjoyed myself. I liked working out outdoors and I liked the results I saw. When I got back home I continued with the workouts at the park near my house. I used a lot of the routines we did at the class I took and researched even more online. I've continued seeing progress on my own, but miss the social aspect of the class. As such, I thought I might put this out there to see if there are others who would like to join me. I also would like to have more accountability on getting there early. If left to my own devices I tend to sleep a little bit longer each morning.

Workout Details:
Near Olbrich Gardens
5:30-6:30 am Tuesday and Thursday, 7:30-8:30 Saturday mornings (or occasionally Sundays based on people's schedules).
Eventually I'd like to get up to going Mon-Fri, but this is what works for my schedule right now.
Equipment needed - hand weights (3lb-10lb depending on your fitness), jump rope, yoga mat or beach towel, water bottle.

About me:
I'm NOT a personal trainer. I'm not selling anything or trying to make any money off this.
I'm 31, nice, and outgoing gal that is trying to increase my fitness and lose weight.
I've lost a little over 90 lbs in the past two years, from a size 24 to a size 10 and am working to take off another 18 lbs. I'm not an expert, but I do research health and fitness a ton.

If you think you may be interested in joining me for some workouts, email me and we can discuss the details. Hope to hear from you.

Depression or Mental Health support groups in Madison? (Madison)

An Open Invitation (Verona)

2009-06-12T15:01:14-05:00

An Open Invitation
From Celebrate recovery
West Madison Bible Church Chapter

Since it's inception in 1991 at Saddleback Church, California, Celebrate recovery has proven to help thousands nationwide struggling with alcohol and drug dependency issues as well as those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups that have made life unbearable or unmanageable. Each local chapter meets in an atmosphere of friendliness, confidentiality, and understanding where Biblical truths and Jesus Christ are applied as the only true means of recovery. The WMBC chapter of "CR" meets every Friday evening at 7pm and for nearly three years has been offering help, hope and guidance to those in need of recovery.

We begin each meeting with prayer, praise and testimony, singing and occasional special music. Then, "Group" is next on the agenda. Group is our special time where the evening's lesson is presented by a competent Bible teacher and where round-table discussion take place. Participants have the opportunity to contribute and ask questions as they wish. To follow up the group's discussion, men and women break-off into small groups for a more focused and personal consideration of the night's material. Topping off the evening, food and fellowship rule in "Solid rock cafe"

Our open invitation is:
Come join us for a friday evening to see what Celebrate Recovery is all about and make some new friends as well. Our door is always open to any and all seeking recovery or those curious as to what this type of program has to offer.

one last thing. Our desire and goal is to provide a Christ-centered recovery program and support group that is accessible to anyone in the greater Madison area.

Kindest regards,
Charles Coile, Director

Okay, so I'd like to start a group for SAHMs who have no one to turn to when they have one of "those days". I'm 38 and yet stumble through motherhood and housekeeping...I have three little children...my house is a disaster...I do a mommy job to get away from the house! I find that I feel completely inferior to my neighbors. I don't start projects (cleaning, organizing) because I can never finish it with my three dear children so I don't bother anymore as it's been devistating to my self esteem. I constantly wonder how other SAHMs have such perfect homes (trust me, mine's pretty dirty and disorganized; not the typical few toys here and there! Oh no, that'd be great if it were only that.) I suffer from seasonal depression and a mood disorder so I find that taking my zoloft and lamictal and trying to give the kids as much love and kindness as possible is the thing I concentrate most on. However! Sometimes I have those days where I have no one to just take them to the park so that I can be alone in my crabby, ugly, festering mood (that's usually pms but I reserve the right to have it any time of the month.) My husband usually can't "run home" when I need him and my other family have lives that don't include coming to my, or rather, the kids rescue. It'd be nice to know a group of other moms who really understand this and want to get together to have truly understanding friend/s to listen. My life revolves around my children...I stopped drinking, stopped going out for what I consider the childless type occasions and would rather take the kids hiking or anywhere where we can be together in a positive way. I do however believe in doing something outside of family and work so that I can still have a sense of "me" but it's hard to just get out there and do that. We're not a family where our lives are centered on church and living by the bible but rather showing kindness and thankfulness for what we have. We're a liberal family with a strong sense of personal integrity, non-judgemental values (although I admit it's really hard not to be that way when I feel attacked or defensive), kindness, assertiveness, self awarness, etc.

Does any of this feel familiar to you? Do you sometimes wonder if your family is normal? Would you like to have friends over who really won't judge how you keep the house? Are you ever jealous that your husband gets to leave everyday? Is he mostly supportive but fairly clueless as to why you have "those days"? Do you find you have a whole new wardrobe when you finally get to your laundry? Okay, I had to throw that in to lighten this up a bit! Please let me know if you'd like to meet up at a park and let the kids play while we chat with a latte and watch over the kids. Maybe this will work; maybe it won't but this is something I've wanted to do for the past five years. It's worth a try!

Please, if you feel awkward or like you wouldn't fit in, email back because I'm looking for moms like you! Thanks for taking the time to read all this!

NOTE to the haters: Don't email me with all your judgemental psycho babble as I know there are MANY like you on Craig's list and I've had to suffer your personal attacks before. Read your bible or take it to your new age guru at the co-op but leave me alone. (see how I am? I really need to work on my attitude...)
