So, more than two every minute. I am sure I could do it if I had twenty-four hours. I don't. And, I would be administered points for trolling, but today I would not care. My care went away and I do not know if it will be back.

Just post whenever you feel like it.
If you have the time, there's no need to even try.
I don't feel like posting. I am obsessed with my place on The List.
Don't forget pix of kitties, machinery misadventures, & guys wearing kilts.
Go for it!
Better that you be top dog than one of those jerks around here.
I have noticed that my oppugnant has raised himself one rung.
I want to go on a date, so I dabbled in dating for three and a half days. I don't want to talk about how I think the dating site is rigged, but maybe later. I want to talk about Perception. I think perception is a wonderful thing and it might be linked to the eating of the forbidden fruit but, I probably won't talk about that.
I want to talk about a person's appearance and her teeth. I think that even though I am 62 I might look attractive to someone, but for my teeth. They are not white and they are not straight. So many more people have better teeth than I do. Now to the point! If an older woman on a dating site has a beautiful smile with those perfect white teeth, what are the chances that they are her own? If they are her own, what are the chances that she is going to spend anything on YOU?

Good as long as you are carefree and not careless.
Too often if not almost always, such sites are 'meat markets' or perhaps more like a corral where horses are being sold and the buyers look at their teeth as a marker for something or other.
Gawd, I want to say something about teeth.....but I won't.
About 14 years ago I went on a weight loss program that resulted in my taking off well over 30 pounds and which I mostly kept off, well it crept back on, but slowly, for over a decade. When my wife broke her hip and had surgery, it jumped up almost 15 pounds. Being tired of my flopping spare tire and thighs the size of ocean liner masts, it's time to do it again as part of a group.
30 pounds lost would be good but according to the magical formula I should lose 50 pounds to get to ideal weight or at least 35 to be at healthy weight. So I'm making 40 pounds as my goal
The secret to the diet? Veges - a boatload - so many that the lack of calories is overridden by the distended stomach from chowing down and down and down on veges. The basic diet should be enough for me to lose 1.5 pounds a week:
Breakfast
6 ounces cut fruit
1 cup nonfat yogurt (or plant-based yogurt or 2 boiled eggs)
1/3 cup oat bran
Lunch and dinner:
6 ounces lettuce
4 ounces raw veggies
6 ounces cooked veggies
3-4 ounces meat (women / men)
2T low cal salad dressing
4oz of chicken is a bit less than 300 calories which puts the diet into perspective. It's a modification of one used by "Food Addicts in Recovery" (a 12-step group)

You could not sink you teeth into that temptation, I see.
Even I have my limits regarding propriety.
@sunrise123 You're so cute! Are you thinking it's my fat, not my teeth? It isn't fat. If it is, then the man is looking for skinny. I am not skinny either. Being here on the forum for.....gawd, how many years? I understand that intelligence, understanding, and humor are the first three that make a person attractive.
I quit the dating site. I am not upset about that I am down eighty-five dollars because I think that it is a bargain for a good bit of wisdom. And, it was sometimes funny too, but not as funny as this place.
Today, in an outstanding coincidence, I just found what you need to succeed in dating:
As I just posted, my floppy gut and "thunder" thighs disqualify me from remarking or even noticing someone else's weight (for now - in a few months, it will be different).
I know! I think talking about God on my profile turned people off. Which is weird when the person calls himself "Christian". I think that most of them really aren't. I was married to an atheist. I think that I shall never even touch another one with a ten-foot pole. So, those I just deleted without reading them.
My husband was a blind date thirty-three years ago. But, what I don't know and I will not ask is why my sister-in-law a Christian church goer ever thought she should pair up a believer and an atheist.
I think that she was a perfect mate to my husband's brother. She was a virgin!, And I am certain that she is submissive. (I wasn't always that way with my husband) but she did confess to having doubts about believing (this was later). Her husband died after a very long illness. Very sad.
My husband still lives. He won't talk and he never did. Except that he talked a lot AT me. He still does. LOL I am getting the feeling that he thinks it was a mistake to let me go. Even though I am as sure as I can be that I will now be single for the rest of my life, I am still happy that he is gone. Sometimes I think it's sad, but not often.

I'm not sure if this applies in your case, but I know a couple who seemingly got along OK until the woman started down the tragic Alzheimer's path. Then the guy got very angry because she was not there to magically turn stuff in the refrigerator into meals, magically turn dirty dishes into clean ones, magically cause bills to be paid and so forth. He literally had no idea how to push a button on a microwave and complains to friends that there is no food in the house. He now wants a divorce thinking that the "magic" has gone out of his marriage.
