Games are a great ice breaker. It can relax the mood and let both people just have fun (if they want to). Some times it will also show bad sides like poor winners and poor losers. Scrabble would not be a good game for me, but I would play if that was the game she wanted to play... Hopefully she does not hold my 'pulik edumacation' against me...lol
Monopoly is too long of a game, but something like chess/checkers would be interesting.

I am also doing something that is close to stone working, I am laying out a broken driveway. Where I had gravel and weeds will be large concrete pieces that I am fitting together. It is only about 2000 sq ft but it is more work than I thought it was going to be...lol But it is one of those 'spare time' projects...

The world is a messed up place any more. Do what you can to fix it and find a way to let the rest go. Only worry about what you can control...

I am just reporting the bug as it happened, but I guess Mingle is not even going to respond. I am sure they have the records and can see that I am not one that "likes" profiles so I should not get matched. I did my part and reported the bug in their system...

I understand the computer generated parts, they should pop up in the "People You Might Be Interested In" and "potential matches" sections. But this profile came up as a "Mutual Match" as if I already clicked that I liked them and I had not. That is where the problem is, if there is a mutual match then they do not have to waste the coins to send out messages. This defeats the purpose of having this coin system. At least with them needing coins to spam out the messages then mingle would be making money on these scammers, but if the scammers have found a way around it then this annoying feature is for nothing...

Other people that have messaged me and I replied to their message have not had this auto match thing happen. So I am going to guess it is a new thing to get around buying coins to message people here. I am probably not the only one they have done this to but since I don't use the match feature here it is easy to know I did not match with them...lol

I just had a scammer send me a message and when I replied I seen the line that we were "matched" on this site. I have not done the matching part on this site in years and this was not a person I would have "liked" so I did not match with them. So it looks like scammers have figured out a way around the coins to message people by auto matching or something.

Join in some of the conversations here in the forums, there are too many fake profiles on this site so it is like the community here is the only place to meet real people. Good Luck

Melinda, I agree with you. There should be an easy way to dismiss a profile, at least in the search section. When you click the X on their profile, it should remove them from your search and their search results. Blocking each profile seems extreme and they might be in the forums here, does that mean you can not see what they post in the forums here if you have them blocked? I reserve that for the scammers who contact me.

That is a big red flag. If you are a real person and are already chatting in the messages then you can keep chatting. The scammers want to take you to a less secure site. Listen to your gut and you will see the scammers.

The "threat' is religions in general. As long as there are religions that say to hate other religions then there will be no peace. This has been going on for centuries...

It looks like that equation is only for the Earth's orbit. Then you have the rotation of the Earth itself when it is spinning in the same direction as the orbit is going. Then you could also add in the times you were on a plane or something that is traveling faster than the Earths rotation. There is some more math for you to play with...lol

All the negativity and then to list that you are a caregiver, too funny...lol

We are all scammer magnets no matter what you put in your profile. But you could put a question in your profile for someone to answer as a conversation starter. Do it as a separate paragraph at the end so even the real people who skim your profile should still see it. Just an idea. Good Luck

As other said, ditch the photoshop pictures unless you don't want people to see you for some reason. Your choice.

The name "Sadeyes" seems negative to me. So it might scare off some people who do not want to deal with someone with depression or what ever makes you call yourself "Sadeyes". If you have depression, I am not saying to hide it...just not throw it out there before they actually get to know you.

The last thing that jumps out at me anyways is the writing. A dating profile is like a job resume, not a quick text between friends. So write out your words like an adult, use punctuation and decent grammar.

But the positives are that you actually did write a little bit about yourself, that is a step above at least half the real profiles on here. Your pictures might be altered, but at least you do have some.

But with any suggestions, just do you because in reality that is what you are trying to advertise here. Good Luck

Just like ALL politicians, what they claim to believe in changes as fast as the wind. That is one reason we should ditch the shame of a two party system and require each politician to write out their beliefs on major issues, just a few clear sentences instead of the long winded double talk they usually do on hard questions. Then when they want to do a 180 on a topic, give a reason as to what made them change their mind (besides getting paid under the table to do so).

I had heard good things about the 'Fasting' idea of dieting so I thought I would give it a try. I started off slow though, with just doing a 12-12 fast so 12 hours of no eating and then 12 hours I could. That was basically a normal day for me anyways so then I went to a 14 hour fast and 10 hours eating. I did that for a couple of weeks and it was not that hard. after a while I went to a 15 hour and then a 16 hour fast, this was when I started to feel it. Your body will be a little sluggish until you eat...lol

But the more I was reading up on fasting, it seemed like the common thing was the 18 hour fast being the best and have your workout right before you break your fast each day. For about a month, I was in a fog while working out but even that went away. I am still hungry at the start of my workouts but I know that goes away a few minutes after I start exercising.

I started this as a fat loss idea, so I kept the same calorie intake and just changed when I ate. I have actually dropped about an inch in my waist and belly area which has always been hard for me to lose there. But the thing I did not expect was the side effects, I use to get bladder spasms that I had to take a couple pills each day for...now I am just taking one pill a day. I also sleep a lot better at night. A lady down the street from me said she also started fasting for weight loss but it cleared up her eczema problems. I just thought I would share...

I am going to have to figure out this forum stuff, I don't get notifications when someone responds to my post here...

And my hair don't change much, just the length...lol

It has been a while since I watch GoT so I do not remember if the first few episodes were that great or not. I just seen the first one for HoD and it was ok but maybe I just expected more...

This is an old topic but it is funny how true it still is today, like nothing has changed...lol
