Singles Online Crap!

Ok so update on that ol' Eharmony thingy I joined a while back.

Its a crock of crap!
Yesserie.
I ended that around March sometime.
My friend who origionally joined it went out with someone from there who seemed nice but it didnt work out. My other friend kept getting matches that were totally off from what she entered in (ie. divorced or guys with kids) and she even got matched with a profile that was a bunch of jibberish!! yes : "ajdef fakhfoaf k ahfkdfalhfonlfj" = jibberish! I thought they screen those things?! I mean, Eharmony's extensive accurate process is so tedious that you are even lucky if you get matched with anyone, then when you do get matched it feels that Eharmony is soo off the mark! Thing is, you cant even browse profiles and choose for yourself - you have to sit there and wait as they trickle in. Funny thing is - when I origionally made a profile, I immediately recieved quite a few matches - every day. So after looking at those I decided to fork up the dough and join. Then the matches got less and less. And amoung the matches the Canucks seemed -very few and well, kinda wierd. (ie. What would you like to accomplish in your lifetime? His answer: Enlightenment.... okaaay.)
And so I ended up talking to a few American guys. I talked to this really nice cute guy - even though he lived in Pennsylvania.... (btw, for some strange reason I am thinking there seems to be alot of cute guys from Pennsylvania).
The thing about him was that we talked for a while giving each other really long emails and even pictures of our travels, and not once did he ask to see my picture (I did not have a picture on my profile). So since he didnt ask I decided to show him a couple.... all was going well but alas there is only so much more you can say without actually meeting and that kinda fizzled away - Yawn.
So that is the end of that. I had enough of it. After I ended my membership I had absolutely no matches at all! When you end it they really boot you out, thanks Eharmony! Sheesh.

Now, after all that I feel I got suckerd into it again. Ya I'm usually above being burned twice but tonight is ouchy #2! AAAH I blame my boredom.
A friend of mine joined Americansingles.com. With this site you see your matches and can also browse around. He showed me a few of his matches and after a while I decided to make a profile. No pic. I know looks dont matter, and yet they do, but I prefer not to post it intially. And being the weird me that I am, I kind of judge guys that ask you about how you look right off the bat. I mean, asking for a pic right away when it already describes me anyways on my profile.... Just seems alittle - superficial?! Maybe I'm picky about it. Mind you, I dont mind showing my pic at all on the singles site - I mean its only fair right? But I just dont want it to be the first thing guys care about.....I like some depth.

I was slightly impressed with the amount of matches on American singles and it didnt make the Canuck guys seem so bad hehe. Then there was this one guy who caught my eye.....after reading his profile I was intrigued!
Even my sister in law, who I showed his profile to, asked "So are you gonna post a pic? ...... or are you just going to meet him and..... BHAM!....." She said in her best Emeril voice ".......you just gonna wow him with you in person?". hehe. "Ya that is what I was hoping to do ;) !! " I said jokingly. "Naw, I figured I would like to see if he likes my personality or at least we get along abit first."
I decided (as a non-member at the time) to 'click yes' on his profile so he would know I was interested. Next day he 'clicked yes' to mine ! And he even emailed me too! .... but being a non-member I couldnt read his email..........see where I am going with this ?

His email sat there for over a week - calling me...... read me ..... read me..... I'm cute ..... and love watching the Food Channel too! READ ME ......... hummm should I join should I not? He seems pretty nice! Yes , No, Not again, Maybe......

Ya, anyways, tonight I joined and finally read his email!

Guess what he said?!

Guess what he said on his first email to me to introduce himself!



Go on......



Guess!





"Hey there, thanks for checking out my profile... care to share a pic? :P"

WTF?

I paid 60$ for that?!

...........

Update: while I was posting this I was logged on to american singles in the background. I just got an IM from some other guy on there.

Dan: hi there
me: hi how are you?
Dan: fine thank's you
Me: ok thanks. I had this on in the background and didnt realize it was on until I heard your IM
Dan: o sorry you busy
Me: ya you should be shhhhh .... :)just kiddin!
Dan: i found your profile interesting and was wondering if you have picture's
(obiously he doesnt have much humor? Straight for the pic question)
Me: hummm i guess they didnt post it yet
Me: I put one up tonight but its not showing then
( I really did post one up tonight)
Dan: ok
Dan: if i gave you my email address could you send some to me
(overly anxious huh?)
Me: maybe
Me: do you have yahoo?
Dan: no
Me: well ....my pic will be up soon anyhow or do you really want me to email you it?
Dan: yes -------@hotmail.com
Me: whats the rush ?
Dan: just want to see who i am talking too
Me: okay. so you dont want to talk until you see my pic ?
(By now Im thinking that he thinks Im hiding and I am fugly or something)
Dan: well you are seeing mine right
Me: i'll close my eyes and type ....
(After a long long pause we wrote at the same time...)
Dan: ok
Me: ok that was a joke. hello?
- I saw him writing abit but then he just logged off after that.

Wuss!

Oh man. Great - now I'm stuck with this site for 3 months!

If I ever sign up again someone PLEASE SHOOT ME!
wait - didnt I say this before?.....

:)

A 89 yr old female patient was leaving my clinic and and heading towards the waiting room / reception area to make her next appointment.

I said my good-byes and as I was moving the door stop to leave the door open, I could hear her say as she turned the corner:

"Hey there Good Lookin"

To her husband who was waiting patiently in the waiting room for her.

Gutter Imagination and hormone fluxes - bad bad bad....

Yes......... it must be just ME lately.
Its not what I say - its what I think about what was said.
Maybe once our minds start thinking a certain way there is no stopping it....

Today:
Me: Oh so you are heading up to the cottage tonight for a week, that should be fun!
Patient: Yes Im looking forward to it. I hope it is not too hot there though we had alot of rain lately
Me: There are no more mosquitos out up there right?
Patient: Oh no I dont think that they are out anymore... Oh yes those are the big pricks!

(huh? I had to actually think about what she said for a minute, then I realized : Oh she meant 'the mosquitos bite pretty bad')

Wedding stuff....

Okay - there is another Wedding to attend this year.. It should be fun and I am kinda looking forward to it! It's an old friend from HS and I am really happy for her. I met the guy once and he seems like a great guy! Funny too!

Thing is - me being the ulta uber sensitive singleton that I usually am, I noticed something. Yes of course it was only addressed to 'Me', not 'Me + guest'. Ok ok I get it already! Sheesh Whatever. I should be used to it. But I noticed on the RSVP instead of looking like this (for me to fill in) it said this (already filled in). Ouch! Weird huh. Or am I just over sensitive again?

Ok nuff said about that .....

Recently I have been noticing weird stuff at some Weddings (what wedding doesnt have weird happenings?) I come to believe that there is no perfect wedding. Someone always has a complaint.....

• At one very casual wedding the DJ was an ...... iPod!
• I have never ever seen a bride that looked like she just woke up outa bed and plonked a viel on her head and did nothing to look different than her everyday appearance, thick glasses and plain hair hardly any make up .... until now.
• One wedding at a wonderful country club didnt have enough seating placements for all their guests for the reception - on purpose. Once you finished your food you were expected to give up your seat for someone else to have their dinner!
• One wedding served up a mean meal of .... geriatric food? I swear the meal was over cooked! You could practically mush up the green beans and the pasta in your mouth with just your tounge! It was also served as 'buffet' which was likend to the hasty mean servers you would get screaming at you from behind the counter in a prison cafeteria!
• The hired MC was a 'show host' so annoying he could have been in an empty room yet he still would not shut up! He loved to hear his own voice - even guiding everyone through the "chicken dance" and the "shimmy dance"
• A wedding of about 100 people and the wedding cake was a small cheese cake from the local grocery store.
• The MC was quizing the groom questions about his Bride as a game and one of the questions was " What is her bra size?" - so not wedding material - more like stag material

Ah but in the end of every wedding we wish the happy couple many years of happiness to come........

Stupid things I have said.........

at work.....



At work I have to sometimes test diabetics for general sensory neuropathy. I use a Tuning fork to test vibrational sensations. However, at one time the name of the instrument totally was lost from my memory and I drew a blank while explaining to the patient what I was about to do.
I dont like to pause much and say "uh this thingamajig" so I said whatever came to my mind to describe the tuning fork at the time. I pulled the tuning fork out of the side drawer and said:
"And this is a uh ....... a vibrator...." I paused for a second realizing what I said then ignored it and hoped that the patient would not notice and I explained quickly after "it tests the vibration sensation on the surface of your skin, like on your hands or feet"





Also at work I treat patients while sitting in a chair, which is not good for our back after a while so we were told we should stand sometimes while treating patients.

So today a Patient comes in who is like ~ 6'5 ft? Who knows ?! And the situation holds that I cannot treat him while sitting, so I stand. He asks me about it and I mention how I need to stand because he is tall and also because it is good for my back anyways... then I say :
"I should do people standing up more often"

Seriously, maybe my singledom is getting to me, forcing my mind in the gutter, where I think the simplest things I say can be so perverse.

Update

Happy belated CANADA day !

Wedding went ... ok, Trip was overall pretty good! And boy was it hot... 112 °F which, I believe equals 44 °C!!!!!!!!!

Anyways.... points to note about this Wedding:

• was forced to "catch the bouquet" along with some other of my reluctant cousins... stood in the back joking that if it fell right infront of us I would probably kick it away.... (yes yes I am beyond hope) ... meanwhile the maid of honour had her shoes off and was in the front, horse stance and all, elbowing those beside her. (she did not catch it btw)... maybe I am just not agressive enough?
• you can still be forced up to catch the bouquet even if you are over 50 yrs old as long as you are single, and by then, all the other younger gals feel sorry for you and make you stand at the front.... gulp, not looking forward to that!
• "Strength in numbers?" - nope, not in the singles game....men are intimidated by big groups of women during weddings (or maybe even clubs too I guess) - maximum 4 gals in a group, not.....9!
• fat guys who dance great and have fun (ie. Carlton dance from Fresh Prince) can be very attractive
• good looking guys who dance amazing but have a skank as a gf are just equally as skanky as their half naked gf grinding up to them. ew.
• do not hire a MC for your wedding, they end up wanting to run the whole show
• marvelous banquet halls can still suck - bottom line - its the food that counts! (again - food has nothing to do with this blog but good food is very important to me hehe)
• and last but not least, laughing while saying your wedding vows - well, just doesnt look too good at all...

Actually I did not spend much time in Cali, so here are some other pretty pics:
