to the wonderful ladies that have contacted me, thank you for your kind words. you have given me hope and restored faith in the female half of humanity. to the hateful, spiteful, mean-tempered and ill-spirited women that have been rude to me, i'm so sorry that your life experiences have made you bitter to anyone that gives you a smile or compliment.

if you're on a dating site, you might need to lower your expectations just a tiny bit. you're not gonna find a perfect man on here. yes, i'm temple worthy. yes, i'm active in church. yes, i have a testimony. i'm sorry that i'm not 26 or living close enough to you for your liking. i'm sorry you were stung as a child, your husband traded you in for a newer model or whatever catastrophe has befallen you.

i had hoped i would find a nice girl here, but the only ones i'm interested in seem to enjoy doling out sarcastic and caustic remarks. to that end, i've cancelled my subscription effective april 25th. i'm not trying to make a 'boo-hoo, poor me' statement here, just think about what you say before you say it.
