| Have you checked to see if your profile is still there? Many dating sites will still present your image after you close the account. I changed my mind and decided to reactivate my account last night. I feel like I have not given OKCupid enough of a chance. I want to keep my profile active for at le... |

| Let's do a thought experiment. Early on a Monday morning, you are walking in a strange city, planning to go to see a museum, but your bladder is full from all the coffee you drank for breakfast. You tug on the shoulder of a young woman in order to ask directions to the nearest public bathroom. You h... |

| One thing big that's changed over the years on OKCupid is they swamp the male user with foreign women, mostly from Third World countries, that no doubt, want a green card. I would say 70% of matches are foreigners. I think that is because of math. There simply are not enough domestic women on these ... |

| I quit reddit (again) in disgust because so many people were posting Hoorays and things like that celebrating the murder. I think the murder was vile. The murderer shot a man in the back in cold blood. I don't think there is any political discussion to be made about that. The fact that people on the... |

| I am small enough to be lying on the closed toilet seat lid. My mother is changing my diaper, breathing purposely through her mouth instead of her nose, a nasty look on her face. I do not feel good about her expression at all. I continue to be amazed at how vivid this remains. I am 62 this year. I ... |

| NY Post ran an article today exposing what goes on some state-sponsored autism centers. Bad stuff, but then a lot of facilities for people that require round-the-clock care feature abuse. Elderly get abused too. Only remedy I can think of is have staff composed of volunteers from the families, but ... |

| What's a vacation you've been on that you remember fondly? Either as a kid or as an adult. When I was a kid we used to go to the beach in Italy on the island of Sardinia, which is kind of remote, for Italy, and has pristine beaches, unlike some other parts of Italy where the seawater is polluted.

Shinrye has potential, modify it to Seneca. |
