Who doesn't love a fluffy puppy?

And I don’t want to waste more of your time with my preamble, like I usually do, so here we go!

- Hospital mixes up ID of survivor and victim. Yes, we’ve seen this scene played out in plenty of movies, but the true horror is the real life event of grieving over the daughter that isn’t dead and holding a bedside vigil for the daughter that isn’t yours. Add this to the list of things I never want to do as a parent.

- “A revolutionary product and an unbelievable price!” So said Steve Jobs and the world gobbled it up, indeed, millions of iPads have been sold in just a few months. And the demand plays out in every country the device is available, so skilled are the developers, software writers and marketers that this one company holds sway over so much of our ‘consumer life”. Such good workers being sued by such stupid people. Personally I have yet to get one, my combination of desktops (including a iMac) and two laptops have me well prepared for any demand already. Of course, should I ever want to join Steve in the Apple controlled world and visit the entire web using the Apple developed safari-style browser that doesn’t render flash pictures, games, links, videos, etc., thereby missing out on usually the most popular parts of the web, well, when that day comes I will tell you. I won’t say I was almost seduced, several times, but I remain an iPad Virgin.

- I have moved and with that move I have opted for the fastest internet service I can get. Indeed, I’m the 4th person signed up for this service in our area of 80,000 people. Yes, my work is done better with less publishing issues slowing me down. Below is an image of my www.Speedtest.net measurement of my internet service and I’d really like to know what yours is.
I do have to add that my internet service is supposed to be 100Mbs and the average I’ve seen from Speedtest.net measurements is between 48Mbs and 55Mbs, which is quite a bit higher than Verizon’s home DSL plans and that you should know that I am paying 3.5 times more ($150.00 a month) than Verizon’s Turbo plan but have a higher consistent rate, I’m sure. I also have double their Fios plan rated service… Do you really get what you pay for?

- A self-guided audio tour in Klingon in a very interesting place. Yet another reason why all those Saturday afternoons with my “beq” have not gone to waste. Now I just need to be transported to the Jenolan caves, west of Sydney, and speak the “language de jour”… LOL.

- What you drink affects people’s opinions of you. Now, I might be stretching the point of this article, and the study it brings to attention, but I do think the logical conclusion that would include pictures of your online dating profile should not have pictures of yourself drinking obviously alcoholic beverages because of the possible conception that you are “less intelligent”. Hell, someone had to say it first, right?

Make it last!

… Might just skip writing a dating profile headline for you today… it’s Friday and I’m looking forward to a long weekend.

Have a great day and weekend too!

Smile, your life will get better!

Where were you when life became so hard?

If you’re telling the truth do you really need to have an explanation that corresponds with the truth you told?

I told you life was hard. I bet you just never knew it would be this hard and the troubles so easily identified. But we must push forward, we must push through the hardships, and the setbacks, because there is a reward at the end… we will have earned something, maybe intangible at first, but something that other people will recognize.

And this life you have can mean all the world of a new life to someone you’ll meet when you post this as your headline today:
“I will make a difference in your life!”

Have a great day!

Hot woman in the water

Yes, if I could be there with that special person in my life, I’d be there now, just like you!

Have a great Hump Day!

Wipeout is a TV game, not your last date

As I write this I am guilty of indulging in a secret pleasure: watching the TV show “Wipeout“.

I do this in the basement, after the better half has gone to bed. I find that not only do I do some of my best writing “after hours” but I also have a reason to stay up because I haven’t written anything for the day yet…

I did say it was a secret after all… LOL

The TV watching, not the writing…

This is my post for today, my daily dating profile headline suggestion (or example) for you. Today, we will not admit to any secrets as I have, mainly because I don’t know any of your secrets and they’re likely best left unspoken instead of something you’d tell me because it’s very likely that it would end up as tomorrow’s headline example.

Which I’m guessing you wouldn’t like.

In any case, this is what I’d post as a headline if I were single and dating online like you are:
“Good looking and very smart… U + I=??”

Have a great day!

Mount Everest

This is that day that you take the step that leads you to your future.

Your positiveness will overwhelm all other factors of your life and you will attain what you really want: someone to understand you.

You might think that this is Mt. Everest but really it’s just today, with some tomorrow tossed in as well.

And all of this starts with a simple headline that arouses the person you are destined to meet. It’s something like this:
“I have been searching everywhere for you!”

Have a great day!
