Hi fellow DUers, as we all argue with one another, can we all pay attention to our other 'groups'?

[Paper Roses]

Some days I wonder if anything else happens that may be of interest to us. My "groups" ''are dead. No posts for weeks, months. Do we have nothing else to discuss? I check...nothing. I think it would be nice if we paid some attention to the people with whom we have had non-political discussions.
I follow the politics but sure wish some of the other groups were more active.

I'm getting a little sick of the political heartburn, need to talk to old friends about other 'stuff'.

1. What groups do you follow? n/t

5. one group I know she is talking about is our eBay-flea market-collectors-antiques group.

I know there are a lot of people with that hobby or business here on DU who have not been to that group to share experiences.

7. Can't help with that group-don't have an ebay business. n/t

8. also cooking and baking

and I think she started a DIY group, too.

9. I enjoy the "What for Dinner tonight" posts from that group.

I'll check out DIY.

It does bother me though, that someone would say they're not into politics. I try to remind everyone who says that, that politics affects nearly everything in their life.

10. Well, I know that she does follow the political postings here.

And has opinions. It's possible to multi task!

11. Yikes, I was reading her post too fast and mentally inserted a word.

Thanks for the correction.
