Internet dating...you know Match.com, E-Harmony, etc. Let me just say, this is a great way to view and sort out the weeds in the "Garden of Single Hell". I have connected to a few sites and have been amazed at how many emails you can receive the minute I posted my picture. On one site, I was contacted 76 times the first day, on another site, 52 times...so there are a lot of people who are using internet dating sites. I have met some pretty good men and I have met some losers...but the sites give you the option to chat and email one another to see if there is a connection or to block those you don't want to communicate with. I recommend the Internet Dating sites. So, here's the story of one guy, who completely lost his mind and how I responded (This is true factual story)! Enjoy!
First rule you must observe...DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS!! Get to know this person better. I did not observe this rule...so, a serpent entered my email garden. I will call him BUD! Well, BUD and I were hitting it off pretty well, we swapped the usual divorce story, children, family, etc...you know all the normal getting to know you information. Occasionally, some funny, witty banter back and forth about the dating world. I never disclosed that I worked for a Marketing/Sales firm, just the fact that I worked in Gainesville, Georgia. So, I gave BUD my personal email address and we began to correspond through that outlet. Well, later that night I checked my email and I had an email from BUD, he was always so nice and polite (so, I thought!). First let me give you a little bit of background on BUD...he owns a Karate Studio in Dalton, Georgia, so I thought of him to be well respected and trusted by many parents who send their children weekly to his Karate Studio for instruction in the martial arts. Looks can be deceiving folks...pay attention to the people you involve your children with...SERIOUSLY! Well, BUD's email starts out "Hello, Sweet Angel" **(First of all, most of you who know me...knows that is a false statement...LOL!!!)** "I have enjoyed our many conversations and look forward go getting to know you better. I have attached a few pics of me so you can get to know,me better." Now, I was thinking to myself, awwww! This is a really nice guy! (WRONG!!) I opened the pictures from the email attachment and I was shocked at the display of pornography this guy had displayed for me of his "MAN PARTS". I promise, you it wasn't just one photo it was 5 or 6 different photos of his "MAN PARTS" creatively displayed. I was stunned and shocked to see these photos to say the least. But I also felt disrespected, angry and fear for the children he instructed in his Karate Studio. I could not respond...it took me awhile to collect my composure, plus, I have to admit...the pictures were in great detail and did catch your attention. I'm not sure what this guy was going for...but whatever effect he was hoping for, it didn't happen. I had to think as to how I should respond to my perverted serpent in my email garden and THEN, it came to me!!!
I typed, "BUD, thank you for your recent email and the attached photos of your "MAN PARTS", I'm not sure what kind or response you were looking for, so I'll give you the only one I came up with. I told you I was employed in Gainesville, Georgia, but I didn't say where. Now, I feel it is time to let you know that I am a Corrections Office and I am forwarding your wonderful explicit photos to one of our Investigators in my office. I hope you have a great evening! Sincerely, Angela
Needless, to say, I never heard from BUD again and his account was deleted off the internet date site at warp speed. I still have the email, just in case BUD, the perverted serpent tries to slip into my email garden again!!! So, remember, to follow this rule "Don't give out your personal email address". Guard against serpents in your email garden.

Getting prepared for the dating world! Single Again!!!
Hello, my name is Angela Cannon, and this is my first post and my first time blogging. I felt that I needed to share my new experiences with the women who are in their 40's and find that they are starting all over again as a single person.
First let me say, divorce is difficult at any age, but to find yourself starting all over in your 40's is a little scary. But fear not my fellow ladies...I am forging ahead in this wilderness and I will keep you informed, so log onto my blog and lets have some fun.
So, now I'm single again...wow...never saw it coming! I always thought I would be happily married forever...WRONG!!
I have to act responsibly, right! So, I go to the local Rite Aid, I go over to the aisle where the condoms are displayed for all to see...(there is no privacy)...I'm looking up and down at the rows of the assorted condoms, there is such an assortment, I am completely confused as to what to purchase. I'm looking and I see that the damn things come in sizes...sizes, I tell you! No assortment pack! Small, medium, large and extra large...and I can see that the store never sells the small packs of condoms because its row is completely full. So, at this point I am sure every man on the planet only purchases the large or extra large...because he could not handle the humiliation of getting to the check out with a box of small condoms...**there would we an instant snicker from the cashier and you would immediately read her thoughts.."Poor little guy"! Guys you gotta a tough purchase when you purchase these products, as for us women, we are at a complete loss. So, there's this guy standing next to me looking at the shaving creams, (I know he's really waiting for me to move away from the condoms so he can make his purchase and escape the curious eyes of this woman who seems to be completely lost) he smiles at me as I am still pondering and admiring the assortment of these multi sized condoms, and I know I need to purchase a pack, if I'm planning on having sex again. I look over at him and say, "These damn things come in sizes!" he smiled grabbed a pack of the extra large and said, "yes, they do", and walked away laughing at me...so, I yell, hey mister, "how do I know what size to buy, if I don't know his package size yet, I just want to be prepared!" Needless to say the man dumps all his purchases and quickly exits Rite Aid, trying to escape the blonde lady waving a pack of condoms at him, leaving me standing alone wondering what the hell do I buy! And then this nice young girl who works in the Pharmacy part of the store asks if she can help me! I explain my dilemma, she begins to laugh and we search the condom aisle together. If I buy small or medium, I might insult the guy, if I buy large or extra large then it looks as if I'm hopeful! And then wouldn't my date feel inadequate if he couldn't fill up the large? How do you win? And if I purchase an assortment...my new date will think I'm a slut and that I'm prepared for anything...so, hell, all the signals I'm sending out just scream disaster! We all hear the myths about look at a guys hands or feet, then you'll know, but like I said its only a myth. So, what's a girl to do? How can a lady in her 40's be prepared and spontaneous without looking stupid or slutty?
