Fishing online
I’m beginning to wonder if this Online Match.com thing is starting to have too many similarities to E-bay? I end up spending a ridiculous amount of time sorting and reading through profiles; aka- product descriptions. Then I carefully craft an “engaging bid”. Is there an appropriate period of time for my bid to be accepted or expire? During this time, I can’t possibly contain my energy while I wait to see if that fascinating person from the picture thought I was as clever as I think I am? When doesn’t he respond, I am stunned!!!

First Night Training Moments
When fishing… you never know which fish will bite. It’s not always the King Salmon… sometimes Sharks bite the line. Being polite shows you’re approachable to other men. Being polite means some men will act like Dingle Berries and hang around to long. Even dingle berries like to buy you drinks if you ask him.
