1. Silver Streak Club - for women who now have to color their hair once a month. You'll know it's time to cover your gray when a shining silver streak becomes visible in the part in your hair.
2. Alternate Route Club - for Houston commuters who have to find new and creative routes to work almost every morning as more and more roads are closed (and re-closed) due to continued flooding. Also, don't forget to check which bridges have washed out.
3. We Used to be Friends Club - for all the people with whom I used to enjoy hanging out, but now that our kids are older, we don't get together anymore. Former friends from girl scouts, soccer-mom friends, fellow dance moms, former orchestra teachers etc. It's a sad fact of life when your kids get older, graduate, go to college and then leave you with no social life.
4. We Used to be Co-Workers Club - for everyone with whom I used to work and enjoyed chatting with but they moved on to other jobs, or I did. Who's to say. I know I'm still facebook friends with these people, but it's not the same as an in-person conversation on a regular basis.
5. Enablers Club - for my friends who love to get together and eat out. Then we all wait to see what everyone else is ordering to determine if we're going to be "good" and "just get a salad" or if we have permission to go off our diets "just this once."
6. Complaints Department Club - for those of us who occasionally want to vent to someone who will just listen and nod their head. A club for griping, commiserating and not judging. The rules are, you must not try to solve problems or cheer people up and you must give everyone equal time - ie don't dominate the conversation.
7. Prayer Group for a Third Party - For everyone who cannot bring themselves to vote for either of the Presidential candidates this year.
