Comments (16)We used Faucet Direct for last year's bathroom renovation and our current one. They were great and matched other sites prices. I did order a toilet that took weeks to arrive...and then was cancelled because it wasn't available anymore (Toto Vespin). They replaced it with another Toto toilet at their cost (or so they told me...I never checked). But they were very pleasant and delivery was quick....See MoreInternet Dating
Comments (50)Hi WalksAlone. Privacy is an important issue, absolutely. I do know that some people, men especially, don't post their photo. But the only way (I believe) that you can really do that to your advantage, is if you are willing to: 1. Be the person to initiate all or most contact and 2. Be willing to send a photo to the person very soon after initiating contact. Having a photo up does mean that someone you know, who is cruising Internet profiles, may see your photo. It also means that someone who cruises profiles may recognize you on the street. I ran into a friend's brother's profile while I was looking through personals, and once, I had a man recognize me on the street from my profile picture. I can think of very few reasons that it would be terrible to be recognized by someone that is looking through profiles. If your kid's friend's dad (for example) sees your profile on the Internet, so what? Unless you are married and he's going to tell your husband. There is nothing shameful about looking for love. If your client/patient/customer sees your profile Online, it could be a little awkward, and maybe they'll find out a little more personal info. about you than you wanted (that you're single and looking), but I don't think that's so bad. Other than the photo issue, you decide when to reveal other personal info. Don't give any man your last name, address, place of employment, or phone number (unless it is untraceable) untill you are completely comfortable. Meet in a well lit public place the first time (and second or third, if you feel safer that way) you meet and have your own transportation. Be careful, and pay attention. But remember that most people doing online dating are just like you and me. Good luck, Carrie...See MoreOn-line dating services-bummer!
Comments (3)I did online dating for a few months. I hid my profile recently only because I'm starting a new job and want to focus my energy for a little while. I plan to resume online dating as soon as I feel settled into the new job. I think that online dating is not geared toward making friends, but depending on the site, it may be geared toward finding a life partner or a sex partner. Eilleen, while I understand your hesitation to send someone a photo if that's all they are interested in, I myself will not carry on communication with a man who won't send me his photo. People who refuse to post/send a photo often have a reason: they've lied about their looks or they're married. I believe I can tell a lot about a person by how he/she looks (but not everything, and I know that looks can be decieving) and if I'm thinking about eventually maybe kissing this person or even having s e x with him, I want to know that I don't find him physically repulsive to me. Looks are a part of who a person is, and I want to be intellectually, emotionally, and physically attracted to someone I'm considering entering into a physical relationship with. There are ways to minimize the number of sexual responses you get when you post a profile. Of course, you can't always control who responds to you, but the occasional sexual-content emails are easily deleted. I've had no sexual emails, though one man, who seemed nice via email, wanted to talk sex when we finally spoke on the phone. I told him that I didn't feel that we were a good match, wished him luck, and got off the phone. I lost nothing except for the fifteen minutes we spoke on the phone. During the ten weeks I was online, I got dozens of emails, talked to about six men on the phone, met four men, went on one to four dates with each. While none of these men was my soul mate, they were all nice guys and I'm glad I met them....See Morezowlik
