Dear Traditionalists, Conservatives and Moderates,  It seems as though the election for mayor next Tuesday is in the bag for the incumbent mayor, Mr. Sullivan.  Hence, some of you may not make a concerted effort to make sure your vote is cast as you would in a more closely contested election.  So too, many of you may also have been less active in motivating your friends and associates to cast their votes.  As a matter of fact, even when we conservatives do actively participate in all facets of a …

This group is for the ladies who are done with the college scene, but may not be entrenched in family life (or need a break from it)! Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to meet friends after you reach the age of 30?  Have you found that your life seems to be flying by at a mile a minute and you are barely able to pay attention?  Do you feel like after a certain age, you lost a support network other than your family? Or have you travelled so much that you barely know a place to call home? T …

Meet Alaskan's with HSV2 was founded in January of 2010.  When we started out, we were just a handful of people who wanted to make a difference in the lives of others who live with HSV2.

Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing".

Today I read the living social deal from Grape Expectations for a wine tasting or mixology experience. As I read the deal, I realized that these events would be much so more fun if I had some super cool people to go with. BUT I just moved back to Alaska a couple of weeks ago and I don't know anyone here. I came to the conclusion that I probably am not the only living social/ Groupon addict that would love to have someone to share the experiences with. I will be posting info about all the amazing …
