My Very Very Wordful Wednesday

Usually I post a picture on Wednesday, put a pithy little comment in the title area and go on about my day, but sadly my computer ate all my pictures last week. I'm not sure what happened it may or may not have been the porn that may or may not have been downloaded on it, but that's still up for debate. Or is it?? I am confusing myself. Anyway so all my pictures are backed up on disks somewhere but I can't find the disks at the moment so have decided to do an entirely different post. Really probably didn't have to explain that to everyone but I am hungover in a big way. (Yes I am slightly ashamed I am hungover on a Wednesday, don't judge)

So....I am a great believer in online dating. I should be its poster child, well not child since that is an entirely different sort of online dating, I should be its poster young but not to young woman. I loved it when I was single. It was like window shopping. Yes I realize that I may have just compared the men I went out with to shoes but they were almost as enjoyable. I loved being able to talk to someone either online or over the phone and then see what they were actually like in real life. I was really lucky and met some amazing smart, funny, good looking men online. Yes I did meet some that wanted to become a woman (but only the boob part, he still wanted to keep his penis) And some that claimed to run illegal counterfeit operations with the Chicago police department, but on the whole I got pretty good at weeding out the crazies and getting to the really good men.

Now I don't know how many of you who read this are single out there, but during my time as an Internet dater I compiled a list of a sort of "code" my girlfriends and I picked up on, on what the men would tell us and what it really meant. So consider this my public service announcement to you single ladies and men too out there who might be considering online dating. Again you're welcome.
