I also adore how all of this works together to make it so much cozier to enjoy indoor activities like watching a movie - especially a creepy one. I mean, it looks dark and ominous outside, why not enjoy that instead of longing endlessly for the returning sun in the spring? As I … [Read more...] about It’s A Great Time Of Year For Suspense With “Wait Until Dark”

gamification of online dating

I am definitely no stranger to online dating. In my 20s, I used Yahoo Personals and Match. I even met my husband Jay on Yahoo Personals. We were married throughout my entire 30s, then we split up, and I have been dating again, online, in my 40s. And believe me, online dating is quite a different monster than it was in my 20s.
