The charge isn't to the consumer but to the merchant who accepts the card. Some merchants here in the US are adding in a "convenience fee" to the purchaser for using the card.

I really have no idea what anybody is talking about these "coins", but I will say there are far too many people complaining about this "free" web site. I suppose they figure why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? How much is premium service? Like $6 a month? If everybody had to pay that many of the scammers would go away, and if you can't afford $6 a month you probably shouldn't be looking for a date, or you should go out and get a job and make better use of your free time. Nothing is keeping you here so if POF or another site gives you what you need you are not trapped here. There is no such thing as a "free lunch", I'd really like to help you out, which way did you come in? |

POF is the same waste as Mingle. Nothing of value other than some BS.

Being married and lonely

You and your wife need to really talk about what you both need from your marriage. If you or her can't meet the others needs, then you both have a decision to make: either you both accept an open marriage or decide to get divorced. There are no other options if you want to have a fulfilling future!!

Mingle is good for some humor and a few interesting topics in the forums. It is useless as a dating site!!

age range of women
|
|
If you are looking for a long term, serious relationship, you probably want a narrower age range. This should be expanded as we get older when health issues effect their lifestyle. If you are looking for a casual friendship/relationship, then the age range is less important as each may provide what the other is looking for at the moment.

I just did a search on here for ladies 50-70 within 25 miles. I got 5 returns but only 1 has been on here in the last month. When I open up the age group to include 30 and above, I find many more ladies on Mingle. I doubt most 30 and 40 yer olds have much of an honest interest in someone twice their age! Geographic area and population have a lot to do with who is out there.

Statistically, men die before women as we all age. That means there are more women than men as we get into older age groups. Where do all these older women disappear to as you don't find them on dating sites and you don't generally find them out socializing?? Do they just stay at home and let the world pass them by? Are they just anti-social as they age?

March For Our Lives

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61772039 Thousands of protesters are gathering across the US to call for stricter gun laws in the wake of last month's mass shooting in Texas. Gun safety group March For Our Lives - founded by survivors of the 2018 Parkland school shooting - said some 450 rallies were planned for Saturday. It said it would not let politicians "sit back" as people continue to die. US President Joe Biden backed the protests, calling on Congress to "pass common sense gun safety legislation". Nineteen children and two adults were killed in the 24 May shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. That attack, and another days earlier in Buffalo, New York, in which 10 people were killed, has led to renewed calls for action on gun control in the US. Girls at March For Our Lives demonstration in Washington March For Our Lives (MFOL) said political leaders' inaction was killing Americans. "We will no longer allow you to sit back while people continue to die," Trevon Bosley, a MFOL board member, said in a statement. Speaking to protesters in Washington DC, one of the survivors of the Parkland shooting, David Hogg, said the killings of children in Uvalde "should fill us with rage and demands for change, not endless debate, but demands for change, now." Garnell Whitfield, whose 86-year-old mother was killed in the racially-motivated shooting in Buffalo, New York on 14 May, told crowds in Washington: "We are here to demand justice. "We are here to stand with those who are bold enough to demand sensible gun legislation." Among other policies, MFOL has called for an assault weapons ban, universal background checks for those trying to purchase guns and a national licensing system, which would register gun owners. Rallies are being held in cities including Washington, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. |

Hi Bill, I too am in a similar situation. I guess my COPD isn't yet as bad as yours although I continue to have heart issues. Work closely with your medical providers and actively participate in your care. There are some drugs that can significantly improve your quality of life. I expect another 10-15 years living as best I can. It is far from hopeless!!! I also live alone and expect to spend the rest of my life alone other than friends and children.

Does anyone know of a dating site where honest women actually are interested in dating?
|

|

This is what we need to improve the senior life!!

In my experience, there are very few over 50 women available either on dating sites or in local social settings. They either aren't interested in meeting anyone or are not sociable.

There seems to be a significant misunderstanding of SCOTUS and abortion! SCOTUS is not deciding if abortions should be legal or not but if the US constitution protects the right to have an abortion or if government has the right to pass regulations about abortions. As I understand, the original basis for Roe was based on the concept of privacy guaranteed by the constitution making the choice of getting an abortion a decision between the woman and her doctor without government interference.
The real question comes down to that personal privacy vs government's right to invade your privacy and when or for what purpose by which level of government. We currently allow even local units of government to invade our privacy in certain ways supposedly under the guise of "for the public good". When does the constitutional protections of privacy override the government's "for the public good"? |

Now if it ever becomes tolerable outside (there WILL be a few decent days yet before fall) it would be nice to find a new friend or 2, especially female, to share those few days with. I'm starting to see a few outdoor concerts, outdoor dinners, and some theater; even a Twins game where they win!!
