dee, one has to be realistic about the space available, also....as with any home party, most would have to limit to about 25-30 people or fewer for things like movie nights, etc...so inviting our married friends, although pleasant, would squeeze out some of the singles who are reticent to come in the first place in some situations. (newly widowed, etc) i think our group provides a valuable support to many singles and would not like to see it destroyed by comments from some who do not really attend or participate. why don't you come some time and get a first-hand view? would love to see you!!
