My ex just sent me this site. I know a lot of people here are displaced from the homeland and this site helps individuals connect to groups in their area. If I had found this site a couple weeks ago, I'd have had a group of local fans to watch the playoffs with. I also found a local knitting circle and photography club. Plug in your location and your interests and it matches you to groups of people. Now I'm gonna go get all these folks to join PackerRats.
