One can find videos, magazines and newsletters aimed to educate the naturally curious people like me, as well as to support and advocate for those who like to go nude at certain venues. Apparently some of the clubs are at designated areas like campgrounds and resorts, and some clubs meet at members' private property. The staff members that I spoke with were all very helpful, nice, and understanding of all my questions. I was given a lot of information to take with me about the organization. One can become a member of the association and receive timely newsletters on the lifestyle. I have never experienced the lifestyle, however it seems that it might be a liberating experience. I feel that being out in nature, with the water and trees in your natural state would be so awesome. . . I'm just not so sure if I want to see everyone's freedom. Maybe we should just all take turns to be free and rotate. . . idk. And I also think of how much self expression one finds in clothing and wonder if people simply rely heavily on hats and accessories without clothes at these venues. . .Seriously this must drive Rachel Zoe and clothes designers insane! And then there are other visuals that I imagine, like . . .cooking for example. . .and gardening / mowing the lawn. . . No.. . Hell no! We need clothes in life. But if there are times in which you feel clothing should be optional, AANR will make sure it happens for you!

I'm a LIFE member of this truly FUN organization, having joined in 1970, when it was known as the…read moreAmerican Sunbathing Association. The first affiliated club I joined was AVATAN, near the Twin Cities (Minnesota). I was then associated with MOUNTAIN AIR RANCH (near Denver), then LIVE OAK RANCH (outside Houston TX) and finally, I was a part of two former nudist resorts in Hawaii; one on Oahu (the island where Honolulu is) and the other was near Kihei, Maui. There is also a landed club near Sandy Valley, Nevada, an unincorporated area close to the California-Nevada border, around 50 miles away from Las Vegas. Cartoonists (and others who have never visited a nudist "place") are quick to joke about (or even deride) them. But those who have seriously visited a nudist park, resort, beach, luxury cruise liner, apartment complex, trailer village or camp (NEVER a "colony") find it to be "just another place to have wholesome fun," for entire families, kids included (they're natural-born nudists at heart). Yes, everyone is indeed naked or nude (there IS a difference in those terms) but to associate naturally naked folks with constant wild sex orgies, "is as wrong, as two left feet." At any well-operated nudist organization, you'll find mostly average, everyday folks whose only difference from conventional, "fabric-adorned society," is the simple fact that they believe you can have just as much (or more) fun, doing things that some people at one time associated only with being clothed. The fact is, you don't NEED clothes to Swim, Fish, Sail, play Volleyball (or Badminton), Basketball, Softball, Tennis, Hiking, Horseback riding, Water skiing, Shuffleboard, Bridge, Poker, Canasta, Dominoes, Checkers, Chess, Mahjong, Horseshoes or even Bowling (where permitted). All you need is just a minimum of two naked or nude people and a desire to fairly compete. (You can still play Solitaire by yourself, of course.) You can also, sans apparel, dine, chat, watch TV, or "debate" politics and religion (if the spirit moves you). Another thing you can do: Make new friends. There are (probably) 30,000 nudists in North America, at maybe 300 clubs (both are my estimates) and I'm sure that those folks would make you feel as welcome as they did for myself and my ladies. So, if you have the opportunity to visit such a place some day, take it. I'm betting that once you have REALLY experienced the lifestyle (and given it a "fair shot"), you might wish to return to it, often. And one final note, which cannot be explained: More WOMEN (than men) seem to take to (and enjoy) it... Their website is here: http://www.aanr.com

I've been going to bingo for several weeks now, and there is excellent food available right before…read moreyou play. The plate costs $9 which is super reasonable compared to what you pay nowadays. I have had several meals and each one has hit like a homemade meal. Baked Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. They also serve it with a croissant and butter. It's great to have food that feels homemade in an unlikely spot like a Bingo Hall!

Rule #1 of Bingo: Show up on time. This isn't a drop in anytime arrangement. If you come too late…read moreyou won't be allowed to play. You pay the initial cost for a packet of games for the whole night, and there are additional games that you can buy that don't come in the main packet. You can leave whenever you want, but since you've paid for the whole night you might as well settle in and get your money's worth. There's also scratch off games and raffle tickets available. It can feel kind of nickel-and-dimey at first, but anything beyond the main packet is optional. The people here are serious about their bingo. This isn't like casual bingo at a restaurant or bowling alley where you can carry on casually with your friends. Sit down and keep your conversations to a barely audible whisper. There are plenty of monitors for you to see what numbers have been called, but there are some seats that have an obstructed view, or are at a bad angle, so keep that in mind. There's also food available for purchase. I tried the grilled chicken. It was overcooked; I wouldn't get it again. They were out of brats, so that's probably the better choice. There's also lighter snacks and dessert choices. I'll stick with those next time.
