I just have one comment on Lynn's discussion of common meals.

I didn't realize that other groups had so few meals.  At southside park we
have at least two meals a week and sometimes five - six, even after we
have been here six years.  I think enthusiasm remains high for meals,
although there are some households you rarely see.  The meals are usually
good (not all of them), most everybody cooks, even the people who rarely
eat.  If anything, our biggest problem is dealing with the noise generated
by that many people at a meal.  During the summer a lot of people eat
outdoors, but it is time to cool off and have us all inside.
